8.2 GNU LESSER GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
GNU LESSER GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
Version 3, 29 June 2007
Copyright (C) 2007 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this license document, but changing it is not
allowed.
This version of the GNU Lesser General Public License incorporates the terms and conditions of version 3 of the
GNU General Public License, supplemented by the additional permissions listed below.
0. Additional Definitions.
As used herein, “this License” refers to version 3 of the GNU Lesser General Public License, and the “GNU GPL”
refers to version 3 of the GNU General Public License.
“The Library” refers to a covered work governed by this License, other than an Application or a Combined Work
as defined below.
An “Application” is any work that makes use of an interface provided by the Library, but which is not otherwise
based on the Library. Defining a subclass of a class defined by the Library is deemed a mode of using an interface
provided by the Library.
A “Combined Work” is a work produced by combining or linking an Application with the Library. The particular
version of the Library with which the Combined Work was made is also called the “Linked Version”.
The “Minimal Corresponding Source” for a Combined Work means the Corresponding Source for the Combined
Work, excluding any source code for portions of the Combined Work that, considered in isolation, are based on the
Application, and not on the Linked Version.
The “Corresponding Application Code” for a Combined Work means the object code and/or source code for
the Application, including any data and utility programs needed for reproducing the Combined Work from the
Application, but excluding the System Libraries of the Combined Work.
1. Exception to Section 3 of the GNU GPL.
You may convey a covered work under sections 3 and 4 of this License without being bound by section 3 of the
GNU GPL.
2. Conveying Modified Versions.
If you modify a copy of the Library, and, in your modifications, a facility refers to a function or data to be supplied
by an Application that uses the facility (other than as an argument passed when the facility is invoked), then you
may convey a copy of the modified version:
a) under this License, provided that you make a good faith effort to ensure that, in the event an Application does
not supply the function or data, the facility still operates, and performs whatever part of its purpose remains
meaningful, or
b) under the GNU GPL, with none of the additional permissions of this License applicable to that copy.
3. Object Code Incorporating Material from Library Header Files.
The object code form of an Application may incorporate material from a header file that is part of the Library. You
may convey such object code under terms of your choice, provided that, if the incorporated material is not limited
to numerical parameters, data structure layouts and accessors, or small macros, inline functions and templates (ten
or fewer lines in length), you do both of the following:
a) Give prominent notice with each copy of the object code that the Library is used in it and that the Library and its
use are covered by this License.
b) Accompany the object code with a copy of the GNU GPL and this license document.
