1en_US 220040623 release. 3-- 4This dictionary is based on a subset of the original 5English wordlist created by Kevin Atkinson for Pspell 6and Aspell and thus is covered by his original 7LGPL license. The affix file is a heavily modified 8version of the original english.aff file which was 9released as part of Geoff Kuenning's Ispell and as 10such is covered by his BSD license. 11 12Thanks to both authors for there wonderful work. 13 14 15=================================================== 16en_AU: 17This dictionary was based on the en_GB Myspell dictionary 18which in turn was initially based on a subset of the 19original English wordlist created by Kevin Atkinson for 20Pspell and Aspell and thus is covered by his original 21LGPL licence. 22 23The credit for this en_AU dictionary goes to: 24 25Kelvin Eldridge (maintainer) 26Jean Hollis Weber 27David Wilson 28 29- Words incorrect in Australian English removed 30- a list from the previously removed words with corrected spelling was added 31- a list of major rivers was added 32- a list of place names was added 33- a list of Australian mammals was added 34- a list of Aboriginal/Koori words commonly used was added 35 36A total of 119,267 words are now recognized 37by the dictionary. 38 39Of course, special thanks go to the editors of the 40en_GB dictionary (David Bartlett, Brian Kelk and 41Andrew Brown) which provided the starting point 42for this dictionary. 43 44The affix file is currently a duplicate of the en_AU.aff 45created completely from scratch by David Bartlett and 46Andrew Brown, based on the published 47rules for MySpell and is also provided under the LGPL. 48 49If you find omissions or bugs or have new words to 50add to the dictionary, please contact the en_AU 51maintainer at: 52 53 "Kelvin" <audictionary@onlineconnections.com.au> 54 55 56 57=================================================== 58en_CA: 59The dictionary file was created using the "final" English and Canadian SCOWL (Spell Checker Oriented Word Lists) wordlists available at Kevin's Word Lists Page (http://wordlist.sourceforge.net). Lists with the suffixes 10, 20, 35, 50, 65 and 65 were used. Lists with the suffixes 70, 80 and 95 were excluded. Copyright information for SCOWL and the wordlists used in creating it is reproduced below. 60 61The affix file is identical to the MySpell English (United States) affix file. It is a heavily modified version of the original english.aff file which was released as part of Geoff Kuenning's Ispell and as such is covered by his BSD license. 62 63--- 64 65COPYRIGHT, SOURCES, and CREDITS from SCOWL readme file: 66 67The collective work is Copyright 2000 by Kevin Atkinson as well as any 68of the copyrights mentioned below: 69 70 Copyright 2000 by Kevin Atkinson 71 72 Permission to use, copy, modify, distribute and sell these word 73 lists, the associated scripts, the output created from the scripts, 74 and its documentation for any purpose is hereby granted without fee, 75 provided that the above copyright notice appears in all copies and 76 that both that copyright notice and this permission notice appear in 77 supporting documentation.

Use, sell, 97 rework, excerpt and use in any way on any platform. 98 99 Placing this material on internal or public servers is 100 also encouraged. The compiler is not aware of any 101 export restrictions so freely distribute world-wide. 102 103 You can verify the public domain status by contacting 104 105 Grady Ward 106 3449 Martha Ct. 107 Arcata, CA 95521-4884 108 109 grady@netcom.com 110 grady@northcoast.com 111 112The "UK English Wordlist With Frequency Classification" is also in the 113Public Domain: 114 115 Date: Sat, 08 Jul 2000 20:27:21 +0100 116 From: Brian Kelk <Brian.Kelk@cl.cam.ac.uk> 117 118> I was wondering what the copyright status of your "UK English 119 > Wordlist With Frequency Classification" word list as it seems to 120 > be lacking any copyright notice. 121 122 There were many many sources in total, but any text marked 123 "copyright" was avoided. Locally-written documentation was one 124 source. An earlier version of the list resided in a filespace called 125 PUBLIC on the University mainframe, because it was considered public 126 domain. 127 128 Date: Tue, 11 Jul 2000 19:31:34 +0100 129 130 > So are you saying your word list is also in the public domain? 131 132 That is the intention. 133 134The 20 level includes frequency classes 7-15 from Brian's word list. 135 136The 35 level includes frequency classes 2-6 and words appearing in at 137least 11 of 12 dictionaries as indicated in the 12Dicts package. All 138words from the 12Dicts package have had likely inflections added via 139my inflection database. 140 141The 12Dicts package and Supplement is in the Public Domain. 142 143The WordNet database, which was used in the creation of the 144Inflections database, is under the following copyright: 145 146 This software and database is being provided to you, the LICENSEE, 147 by Princeton University under the following license.

A decent number of proper names is also included: The 181top 1000 male, female, and Last names from the 1990 Census report; a 182list of names sent to me by Alan Beale; and a few names that I added 183myself. Finally a small list of abbreviations not commonly found in 184other word lists is included. 185 186The name files form the Census report is a government document which I 187don't think can be copyrighted. 188 189The name list from Alan Beale is also derived from the linux words 190list, which is derived from the DEC list. He also added a bunch of 191miscellaneous names to the list, which he released to the Public Domain. 192 193The DEC Word list doesn't have a formal name. It is labeled as "FILE: 194english.words; VERSION: DEC-SRC-92-04-05" and was put together by Jorge 195Stolfi <stolfi@src.dec.com> DEC Systems Research Center. The DEC Word 196list has the following copyright statement: 197 198 (NON-)COPYRIGHT STATUS 199 200 To the best of my knowledge, all the files I used to build these 201 wordlists were available for public distribution and use, at least 202 for non-commercial purposes. I have confirmed this assumption with 203 the authors of the lists, whenever they were known. 204 205 Therefore, it is safe to assume that the wordlists in this package 206 can also be freely copied, distributed, modified, and used for 207 personal, educational, and research purposes. (Use of these files in 208 commercial products may require written permission from DEC and/or 209 the authors of the original lists.) 210 211 Whenever you distribute any of these wordlists, please distribute 212 also the accompanying README file. If you distribute a modified 213 copy of one of these wordlists, please include the original README 214 file with a note explaining your modifications. Your users will 215 surely appreciate that. 216 217 (NO-)WARRANTY DISCLAIMER 218 219 These files, like the original wordlists on which they are based, 220 are still very incomplete, uneven, and inconsistent, and probably 221 contain many errors. They are offered "as is" without any warranty 222 of correctness or fitness for any particular purpose. Neither I nor 223 my employer can be held responsible for any losses or damages that 224 may result from their use. 225 226However since this Word List is used in the linux.words package which 227the author claims is free of any copyright I assume it is OK to use 228for most purposes. If you want to use this in a commercial project 229and this concerns you the information from the DEC word list can 230easily be removed without much sacrifice in quality as only the name 231lists were used. 232 233The file special-jargon.50 uses common.lst and word.lst from the 234"Unofficial Jargon File Word Lists" which is derived from "The Jargon 235File". All of which is in the Public Domain. This file also contain 236a few extra UNIX terms which are found in the file "unix-terms" in the 237special/ directory. 238 239The 60 level includes Brian's frequency class 0 and all words 240appearing in at least 2 of the 12 dictionaries as indicated by the 24112Dicts package. A large number of names are also included: The 4,946 242female names and 3,897 male names from the MWords package and the 243files "computer.names", "misc.names", and "org.names" from the DEC 244package. 245 246The 65 level includes words found in the Ispell "medium" word list. 247The Ispell word lists are under the same copyright of Ispell itself 248which is: 249 250 Copyright 1993, Geoff Kuenning, Granada Hills, CA 251 All rights reserved. 252 253 Redistribution and use in source and binary forms, with or without 254 modification, are permitted provided that the following conditions 255 are met: 256 257 1.

The common dictionary words, like those 289from the 12Dicts package, have had all likely inflections added. 290 291The 80 level includes the ENABLE word list, all the lists in the 292ENABLE supplement package (except for ABLE), the "UK Advanced Cryptics 293Dictionary" (UKACD), the list of signature words in from YAWL package, 294and the 10,196 places list from the MWords package. 295 296The ENABLE package, mainted by M\Cooper <thegrendel@theriver.com>, 297is in the Public Domain: 298 299 The ENABLE master word list, WORD.LST, is herewith formally released 300 into the Public Domain. Anyone is free to use it or distribute it in 301 any manner they see fit. No fee or registration is required for its 302 use nor are "contributions" solicited (if you feel you absolutely 303 must contribute something for your own peace of mind, the authors of 304 the ENABLE list ask that you make a donation on their behalf to your 305 favorite charity). This word list is our gift to the Scrabble 306 community, as an alternate to "official" word lists. Game designers 307 may feel free to incorporate the WORD.LST into their games. Please 308 mention the source and credit us as originators of the list. Note 309 that if you, as a game designer, use the WORD.LST in your product, 310 you may still copyright and protect your product, but you may *not* 311 legally copyright or in any way restrict redistribution of the 312 WORD.LST portion of your product.

All Rights Reserved. 319 320 The following restriction is placed on the use of this publication: 321 if The UK Advanced Cryptics Dictionary is used in a software package 322 or redistributed in any form, the copyright notice must be 323 prominently displayed and the text of this document must be included 324 verbatim. 325 326 There are no other restrictions: I would like to see the list 327 distributed as widely as possible. 328 329The 95 level includes the 354,984 single words and 256,772 compound 330words from the MWords package, ABLE.LST from the ENABLE Supplement, 331and some additional words found in my part-of-speech database that 332were not found anywhere else. 333 334Accent information was taken from UKACD. 335 336My VARCON package was used to create the American, British, and 337Canadian word list. 338 339Since the original word lists used in the VARCON package came from 340the Ispell distribution they are under the Ispell copyright. 341 342The variant word lists were created from a list of variants found in 343the 12dicts supplement package as well as a list of variants I created 344myself. 345 346 347 348 349=================================================== 350en_GB: 351This dictionary was initially based on a subset of the 352original English wordlist created by Kevin Atkinson for 353Pspell and Aspell and thus is covered by his original 354LGPL licence. 355 356It has been extensively updated by David Bartlett, Brian Kelk 357and Andrew Brown: 358- numerous Americanism have been removed 359- numerous American spellings have been corrected 360- missing words have been added 361- many errors have been corrected 362- compound hyphenated words have been added where appropriate 363 364Valuable inputs to this process were received from many other 365people - far too numerous to name. Serious thanks to you all 366for your greatly appreciated help. 367 368This word list is intended to be a good representation of 369current modern British English and thus it should be a good 370basis for Commonwealth English in most countries of the world 371outside North America. 372 373The affix file has been created completely from scratch 374by David Bartlett and Andrew Brown, based on the published 375rules for MySpell and is also provided under the LGPL. 376 377In creating the affix rules an attempt has been made to 378reproduce the most general rules for English word 379formation, rather than merely use it as a means to 380compress the size of the dictionary. It is hoped that this 381will facilitate future localisation to other variants of 382English. 383 384Please let David Bartlett <dwb@openoffice.org> know of any 385errors that you find. 386 387The current release is R 1.18, 11/04/05 388=================================================== 389en_NZ: 390I.

Copying 454 455 GNU LESSER GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE 456 Version 2.1, February 1999 457 458 Copyright (C) 1991, 1999 Free Software Foundation, Inc. 459 59 Temple Place, Suite 330, Boston, MA 02111-1307 USA 460 Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies 461 of this license document, but changing it is not allowed. 462 463[This is the first released version of the Lesser GPL. It also counts 464 as the successor of the GNU Library Public License, version 2, hence 465 the version number 2.1.] 466 467 Preamble 468 469 The licenses for most software are designed to take away your 470freedom to share and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public 471Licenses are intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change 472free software--to make sure the software is free for all its users. 473 474 This license, the Lesser General Public License, applies to some 475specially designated software packages--typically libraries--of the 476Free Software Foundation and other authors who decide to use it. You 477can use it too, but we suggest you first think carefully about whether 478this license or the ordinary General Public License is the better 479strategy to use in any particular case, based on the explanations below. 480 481 When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom of use, 482not price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that 483you have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge 484for this service if you wish); that you receive source code or can get 485it if you want it; that you can change the software and use pieces of 486it in new free programs; and that you are informed that you can do 487these things. 488 489 To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid 490distributors to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender these 491rights. These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for 492you if you distribute copies of the library or if you modify it. 493 494 For example, if you distribute copies of the library, whether gratis 495or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that we gave 496you. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the source 497code. If you link other code with the library, you must provide 498complete object files to the recipients, so that they can relink them 499with the library after making changes to the library and recompiling 500it. And you must show them these terms so they know their rights. 501 502 We protect your rights with a two-step method: (1) we copyright the 503library, and (2) we offer you this license, which gives you legal 504permission to copy, distribute and/or modify the library. 505 506 To protect each distributor, we want to make it very clear that 507there is no warranty for the free library. Also, if the library is 508modified by someone else and passed on, the recipients should know 509that what they have is not the original version, so that the original 510author's reputation will not be affected by problems that might be 511introduced by others. 512 513 Finally, software patents pose a constant threat to the existence of 514any free program. We wish to make sure that a company cannot 515effectively restrict the users of a free program by obtaining a 516restrictive license from a patent holder. Therefore, we insist that 517any patent license obtained for a version of the library must be 518consistent with the full freedom of use specified in this license. 519 520 Most GNU software, including some libraries, is covered by the 521ordinary GNU General Public License. This license, the GNU Lesser 522General Public License, applies to certain designated libraries, and 523is quite different from the ordinary General Public License. We use 524this license for certain libraries in order to permit linking those 525libraries into non-free programs. 526 527 When a program is linked with a library, whether statically or using 528a shared library, the combination of the two is legally speaking a 529combined work, a derivative of the original library. The ordinary 530General Public License therefore permits such linking only if the 531entire combination fits its criteria of freedom. The Lesser General 532Public License permits more lax criteria for linking other code with 533the library. 534 535 We call this license the "Lesser" General Public License because it 536does Less to protect the user's freedom than the ordinary General 537Public License. It also provides other free software developers Less 538of an advantage over competing non-free programs. These disadvantages 539are the reason we use the ordinary General Public License for many 540libraries. However, the Lesser license provides advantages in certain 541special circumstances. 542 543 For example, on rare occasions, there may be a special need to 544encourage the widest possible use of a certain library, so that it becomes 545a de-facto standard. To achieve this, non-free programs must be 546allowed to use the library. A more frequent case is that a free 547library does the same job as widely used non-free libraries. In this 548case, there is little to gain by limiting the free library to free 549software only, so we use the Lesser General Public License. 550 551 In other cases, permission to use a particular library in non-free 552programs enables a greater number of people to use a large body of 553free software. For example, permission to use the GNU C Library in 554non-free programs enables many more people to use the whole GNU 555operating system, as well as its variant, the GNU/Linux operating 556system. 557 558 Although the Lesser General Public License is Less protective of the 559users' freedom, it does ensure that the user of a program that is 560linked with the Library has the freedom and the wherewithal to run 561that program using a modified version of the Library. 562 563 The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and 564modification follow. Pay close attention to the difference between a 565"work based on the library" and a "work that uses the library". The 566former contains code derived from the library, whereas the latter must 567be combined with the library in order to run. 568 569 GNU LESSER GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE 570 TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION 571 572 0. This License Agreement applies to any software library or other 573program which contains a notice placed by the copyright holder or 574other authorized party saying it may be distributed under the terms of 575this Lesser General Public License (also called "this License"). 576Each licensee is addressed as "you". 577 578 A "library" means a collection of software functions and/or data 579prepared so as to be conveniently linked with application programs 580(which use some of those functions and data) to form executables. 581 582 The "Library", below, refers to any such software library or work 583which has been distributed under these terms. A "work based on the 584Library" means either the Library or any derivative work under 585copyright law: that is to say, a work containing the Library or a 586portion of it, either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated 587straightforwardly into another language. (Hereinafter, translation is 588included without limitation in the term "modification".) 589 590 "Source code" for a work means the preferred form of the work for 591making modifications to it. For a library, complete source code means 592all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any associated 593interface definition files, plus the scripts used to control compilation 594and installation of the library. 595 596 Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not 597covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of 598running a program using the Library is not restricted, and output from 599such a program is covered only if its contents constitute a work based 600on the Library (independent of the use of the Library in a tool for 601writing it). Whether that is true depends on what the Library does 602and what the program that uses the Library does. 603 604 1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Library's 605complete source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that 606you conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an 607appropriate copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact 608all the notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any 609warranty; and distribute a copy of this License along with the 610Library. 611 612 You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, 613and you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a 614fee. 615 616 2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Library or any portion 617of it, thus forming a work based on the Library, and copy and 618distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1 619above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions: 620 621 a) The modified work must itself be a software library. 622 623 b) You must cause the files modified to carry prominent notices 624 stating that you changed the files and the date of any change. 625 626 c) You must cause the whole of the work to be licensed at no 627 charge to all third parties under the terms of this License. 628 629 d) If a facility in the modified Library refers to a function or a 630 table of data to be supplied by an application program that uses 631 the facility, other than as an argument passed when the facility 632 is invoked, then you must make a good faith effort to ensure that, 633 in the event an application does not supply such function or 634 table, the facility still operates, and performs whatever part of 635 its purpose remains meaningful. 636 637 (For example, a function in a library to compute square roots has 638 a purpose that is entirely well-defined independent of the 639 application. Therefore, Subsection 2d requires that any 640 application-supplied function or table used by this function must 641 be optional: if the application does not supply it, the square 642 root function must still compute square roots.) 643 644These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If 645identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Library, 646and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in 647themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those 648sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you 649distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based 650on the Library, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of 651this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the 652entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote 653it. 654 655Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest 656your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to 657exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or 658collective works based on the Library. 659 660In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Library 661with the Library (or with a work based on the Library) on a volume of 662a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under 663the scope of this License. 664 665 3. You may opt to apply the terms of the ordinary GNU General Public 666License instead of this License to a given copy of the Library. To do 667this, you must alter all the notices that refer to this License, so 668that they refer to the ordinary GNU General Public License, version 2, 669instead of to this License. (If a newer version than version 2 of the 670ordinary GNU General Public License has appeared, then you can specify 671that version instead if you wish.) Do not make any other change in 672these notices. 673 674 Once this change is made in a given copy, it is irreversible for 675that copy, so the ordinary GNU General Public License applies to all 676subsequent copies and derivative works made from that copy. 677 678 This option is useful when you wish to copy part of the code of 679the Library into a program that is not a library. 680 681 4. You may copy and distribute the Library (or a portion or 682derivative of it, under Section 2) in object code or executable form 683under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you accompany 684it with the complete corresponding machine-readable source code, which 685must be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a 686medium customarily used for software interchange. 687 688 If distribution of object code is made by offering access to copy 689from a designated place, then offering equivalent access to copy the 690source code from the same place satisfies the requirement to 691distribute the source code, even though third parties are not 692compelled to copy the source along with the object code. 693 694 5. A program that contains no derivative of any portion of the 695Library, but is designed to work with the Library by being compiled or 696linked with it, is called a "work that uses the Library". Such a 697work, in isolation, is not a derivative work of the Library, and 698therefore falls outside the scope of this License. 699 700 However, linking a "work that uses the Library" with the Library 701creates an executable that is a derivative of the Library (because it 702contains portions of the Library), rather than a "work that uses the 703library". The executable is therefore covered by this License. 704Section 6 states terms for distribution of such executables. 705 706 When a "work that uses the Library" uses material from a header file 707that is part of the Library, the object code for the work may be a 708derivative work of the Library even though the source code is not. 709Whether this is true is especially significant if the work can be 710linked without the Library, or if the work is itself a library. The 711threshold for this to be true is not precisely defined by law. 712 713 If such an object file uses only numerical parameters, data 714structure layouts and accessors, and small macros and small inline 715functions (ten lines or less in length), then the use of the object 716file is unrestricted, regardless of whether it is legally a derivative 717work. (Executables containing this object code plus portions of the 718Library will still fall under Section 6.) 719 720 Otherwise, if the work is a derivative of the Library, you may 721distribute the object code for the work under the terms of Section 6. 722Any executables containing that work also fall under Section 6, 723whether or not they are linked directly with the Library itself. 724 725 6. As an exception to the Sections above, you may also combine or 726link a "work that uses the Library" with the Library to produce a 727work containing portions of the Library, and distribute that work 728under terms of your choice, provided that the terms permit 729modification of the work for the customer's own use and reverse 730engineering for debugging such modifications. 731 732 You must give prominent notice with each copy of the work that the 733Library is used in it and that the Library and its use are covered by 734this License. You must supply a copy of this License. If the work 735during execution displays copyright notices, you must include the 736copyright notice for the Library among them, as well as a reference 737directing the user to the copy of this License. Also, you must do one 738of these things: 739 740 a) Accompany the work with the complete corresponding 741 machine-readable source code for the Library including whatever 742 changes were used in the work (which must be distributed under 743 Sections 1 and 2 above); and, if the work is an executable linked 744 with the Library, with the complete machine-readable "work that 745 uses the Library", as object code and/or source code, so that the 746 user can modify the Library and then relink to produce a modified 747 executable containing the modified Library. (It is understood 748 that the user who changes the contents of definitions files in the 749 Library will not necessarily be able to recompile the application 750 to use the modified definitions.) 751 752 b) Use a suitable shared library mechanism for linking with the 753 Library. A suitable mechanism is one that (1) uses at run time a 754 copy of the library already present on the user's computer system, 755 rather than copying library functions into the executable, and (2) 756 will operate properly with a modified version of the library, if 757 the user installs one, as long as the modified version is 758 interface-compatible with the version that the work was made with. 759 760 c) Accompany the work with a written offer, valid for at 761 least three years, to give the same user the materials 762 specified in Subsection 6a, above, for a charge no more 763 than the cost of performing this distribution. 764 765 d) If distribution of the work is made by offering access to copy 766 from a designated place, offer equivalent access to copy the above 767 specified materials from the same place. 768 769 e) Verify that the user has already received a copy of these 770 materials or that you have already sent this user a copy. 771 772 For an executable, the required form of the "work that uses the 773Library" must include any data and utility programs needed for 774reproducing the executable from it. However, as a special exception, 775the materials to be distributed need not include anything that is 776normally distributed (in either source or binary form) with the major 777components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the operating system on 778which the executable runs, unless that component itself accompanies 779the executable. 780 781 It may happen that this requirement contradicts the license 782restrictions of other proprietary libraries that do not normally 783accompany the operating system. Such a contradiction means you cannot 784use both them and the Library together in an executable that you 785distribute. 786 787 7. You may place library facilities that are a work based on the 788Library side-by-side in a single library together with other library 789facilities not covered by this License, and distribute such a combined 790library, provided that the separate distribution of the work based on 791the Library and of the other library facilities is otherwise 792permitted, and provided that you do these two things: 793 794 a) Accompany the combined library with a copy of the same work 795 based on the Library, uncombined with any other library 796 facilities. This must be distributed under the terms of the 797 Sections above. 798 799 b) Give prominent notice with the combined library of the fact 800 that part of it is a work based on the Library, and explaining 801 where to find the accompanying uncombined form of the same work. 802 803 8. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, link with, or distribute 804the Library except as expressly provided under this License. Any 805attempt otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense, link with, or 806distribute the Library is void, and will automatically terminate your 807rights under this License. However, parties who have received copies, 808or rights, from you under this License will not have their licenses 809terminated so long as such parties remain in full compliance. 810 811 9. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not 812signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or 813distribute the Library or its derivative works. These actions are 814prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by 815modifying or distributing the Library (or any work based on the 816Library), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and 817all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying 818the Library or works based on it. 819 820 10. Each time you redistribute the Library (or any work based on the 821Library), the recipient automatically receives a license from the 822original licensor to copy, distribute, link with or modify the Library 823subject to these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further 824restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein. 825You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties with 826this License. 827 828 11. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent 829infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues), 830conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or 831otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not 832excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot 833distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this 834License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you 835may not distribute the Library at all. For example, if a patent 836license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Library by 837all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then 838the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to 839refrain entirely from distribution of the Library. 840 841If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under any 842particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to apply, 843and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other circumstances. 844 845It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any 846patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any 847such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the 848integrity of the free software distribution system which is 849implemented by public license practices. Many people have made 850generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed 851through that system in reliance on consistent application of that 852system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing 853to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot 854impose that choice. 855 856This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to 857be a consequence of the rest of this License. 858 859 12. If the distribution and/or use of the Library is restricted in 860certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the 861original copyright holder who places the Library under this License may add 862an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding those countries, 863so that distribution is permitted only in or among countries not thus 864excluded. In such case, this License incorporates the limitation as if 865written in the body of this License. 866 867 13. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new 868versions of the Lesser General Public License from time to time. 869Such new versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, 870but may differ in detail to address new problems or concerns. 871 872Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Library 873specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and 874"any later version", you have the option of following the terms and 875conditions either of that version or of any later version published by 876the Free Software Foundation. If the Library does not specify a 877license version number, you may choose any version ever published by 878the Free Software Foundation. 879 880 14. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Library into other free 881programs whose distribution conditions are incompatible with these, 882write to the author to ask for permission. For software which is 883copyrighted by the Free Software Foundation, write to the Free 884Software Foundation; we sometimes make exceptions for this. Our 885decision will be guided by the two goals of preserving the free status 886of all derivatives of our free software and of promoting the sharing 887and reuse of software generally. 888 889 NO WARRANTY 890 891 15. BECAUSE THE LIBRARY IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO 892WARRANTY FOR THE LIBRARY, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. 893EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR 894OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE LIBRARY "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY 895KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE 896IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR 897PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE 898LIBRARY IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE LIBRARY PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME 899THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION. 900 901 16. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN 902WRITING WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY 903AND/OR REDISTRIBUTE THE LIBRARY AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU 904FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR 905CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE 906LIBRARY (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING 907RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A 908FAILURE OF THE LIBRARY TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER SOFTWARE), EVEN IF 909SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH 910DAMAGES. 911 912 END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS 913 914
