| 20040623 release. |
| -- |
| This dictionary is based on a subset of the original |
| English wordlist created by Kevin Atkinson for Pspell |
| and Aspell and thus is covered by his original |
| LGPL license. The affix file 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. |
| |
| Thanks to both authors for there wonderful work. |

| |
| This dictionary was based on the en_GB Myspell dictionary |
| which in turn was initially based on a subset of the |
| original English wordlist created by Kevin Atkinson for |
| Pspell and Aspell and thus is covered by his original |
| LGPL licence. |
| |
| The credit for this en_AU dictionary goes to: |
| |
| Kelvin Eldridge (maintainer) |
| Jean Hollis Weber |
| David Wilson |
| |
| - Words incorrect in Australian English removed |
| - a list from the previously removed words with corrected spelling was added |
| - a list of major rivers was added |
| - a list of place names was added |
| - a list of Australian mammals was added |
| - a list of Aboriginal/Koori words commonly used was added |
| |
| A total of 119,267 words are now recognized |
| by the dictionary. |
| |
| Of course, special thanks go to the editors of the |
| en_GB dictionary (David Bartlett, Brian Kelk and |
| Andrew Brown) which provided the starting point |
| for this dictionary. |
| |
| The affix file is currently a duplicate of the en_AU.aff |
| created completely from scratch by David Bartlett and |
| Andrew Brown, based on the published |
| rules for MySpell and is also provided under the LGPL. |

| The 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. |
| |
| The 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. |

| Supplement) in order to help improve the overall quality of SCOWL. |
| |
| The 10 level includes the 1000 most common English words (according to |
| the Moby (TM) Words II [MWords] package), a subset of the 1000 most |
| common words on the Internet (again, according to Moby Words II), and |
| frequently class 16 from Brian Kelk's "UK English Wordlist |
| with Frequency Classification". |
| |
| The MWords package was explicitly placed in the public domain: |

| been place into the public domain. Use, sell, |
| rework, excerpt and use in any way on any platform. |

| Date: Sat, 08 Jul 2000 20:27:21 +0100 |
| From: Brian Kelk <Brian.Kelk@cl.cam.ac.uk> |
| |
| > I was wondering what the copyright status of your "UK English |
| > Wordlist With Frequency Classification" word list as it seems to |
| > be lacking any copyright notice. |
| |
| There were many many sources in total, but any text marked |
| "copyright" was avoided. Locally-written documentation was one |
| source. An earlier version of the list resided in a filespace called |
| PUBLIC on the University mainframe, because it was considered public |
| domain. |
| |
| Date: Tue, 11 Jul 2000 19:31:34 +0100 |
| |
| > So are you saying your word list is also in the public domain? |
| |
| That is the intention. |
| |
| The 20 level includes frequency classes 7-15 from Brian's word list. |
| |
| The 35 level includes frequency classes 2-6 and words appearing in at |
| least 11 of 12 dictionaries as indicated in the 12Dicts package. All |
| words from the 12Dicts package have had likely inflections added via |
| my inflection database. |
| |
| The 12Dicts package and Supplement is in the Public Domain. |
| |

| Inflections database, is under the following copyright: |

| |
| The 50 level includes Brian's frequency class 1, words words appearing |
| in at least 5 of 12 of the dictionaries as indicated in the 12Dicts |
| package, and uppercase words in at least 4 of the previous 12 |
| dictionaries. A decent number of proper names is also included: The |
| top 1000 male, female, and Last names from the 1990 Census report; a |
| list of names sent to me by Alan Beale; and a few names that I added |
| myself. Finally a small list of abbreviations not commonly found in |
| other word lists is included. |
| |
| The name files form the Census report is a government document which I |
| don't think can be copyrighted. |
| |
| The name list from Alan Beale is also derived from the linux words |
| list, which is derived from the DEC list. He also added a bunch of |
| miscellaneous names to the list, which he released to the Public Domain. |
| |
| The DEC Word list doesn't have a formal name. It is labeled as "FILE: |
| english.words; VERSION: DEC-SRC-92-04-05" and was put together by Jorge |
| Stolfi <stolfi@src.dec.com> DEC Systems Research Center. The DEC Word |
| list has the following copyright statement: |
| |
| (NON-)COPYRIGHT STATUS |
| |
| To the best of my knowledge, all the files I used to build these |
| wordlists were available for public distribution and use, at least |
| for non-commercial purposes. I have confirmed this assumption with |
| the authors of the lists, whenever they were known. |
| |
| Therefore, it is safe to assume that the wordlists in this package |
| can also be freely copied, distributed, modified, and used for |
| personal, educational, and research purposes. (Use of these files in |
| commercial products may require written permission from DEC and/or |
| the authors of the original lists.) |
| |
| Whenever you distribute any of these wordlists, please distribute |
| also the accompanying README file. If you distribute a modified |
| copy of one of these wordlists, please include the original README |
| file with a note explaining your modifications. Your users will |
| surely appreciate that. |
| |
| (NO-)WARRANTY DISCLAIMER |
| |
| These files, like the original wordlists on which they are based, |
| are still very incomplete, uneven, and inconsitent, and probably |
| contain many errors. They are offered "as is" without any warranty |
| of correctness or fitness for any particular purpose. Neither I nor |
| my employer can be held responsible for any losses or damages that |
| may result from their use. |
| |
| However since this Word List is used in the linux.words package which |
| the author claims is free of any copyright I assume it is OK to use |
| for most purposes. If you want to use this in a commercial project |
| and this concerns you the information from the DEC word list can |
| easily be removed without much sacrifice in quality as only the name |
| lists were used. |
| |
| The file special-jargon.50 uses common.lst and word.lst from the |
| "Unofficial Jargon File Word Lists" which is derived from "The Jargon |
| File". All of which is in the Public Domain. This file also contain |
| a few extra UNIX terms which are found in the file "unix-terms" in the |
| special/ directory. |
| |
| The 60 level includes Brian's frequency class 0 and all words |
| appearing in at least 2 of the 12 dictionaries as indicated by the |
| 12Dicts package. A large number of names are also included: The 4,946 |
| female names and 3,897 male names from the MWords package and the |
| files "computer.names", "misc.names", and "org.names" from the DEC |
| package. |
| |
| The 65 level includes words found in the Ispell "medium" word list. |
| The Ispell word lists are under the same copyright of Ispell itself |

| The 70 level includes the 74,550 common dictionary words and the 21,986 names |
| list from the MWords package. The common dictionary words, like those |
| from the 12Dicts package, have had all likely inflections added. |
| |
| The 80 level includes the ENABLE word list, all the lists in the |
| ENABLE supplement package (except for ABLE), the "UK Advanced Cryptics |
| Dictionary" (UKACD), the list of signature words in from YAWL package, |
| and the 10,196 places list from the MWords package. |

| the ENABLE list ask that you make a donation on their behalf to your |
| favorite charity). This word list is our gift to the Scrabble |
| community, as an alternate to "official" word lists. Game designers |
| may feel free to incorporate the WORD.LST into their games. Please |

| This dictionary was initially based on a subset of the |
| original English wordlist created by Kevin Atkinson for |
| Pspell and Aspell and thus is covered by his original |
| LGPL licence. |
| |
| It has been extensively updated by David Bartlett, Brian Kelk |
| and Andrew Brown: |
| - numerous Americanism have been removed |
| - numerous American spellings have been corrected |
| - missing words have been added |
| - many errors have been corrected |
| - compound hyphenated words have been added where appropriate |
| |
| Valuable inputs to this process were received from many other |
| people - far too numerous to name. Serious thanks to you all |
| for your greatly appreciated help. |
| |
| This word list is intended to be a good representation of |
| current modern British English and thus it should be a good |
| basis for Commonwealth English in most countries of the world |
| outside North America. |
| |
| The affix file has been created completely from scratch |
| by David Bartlett and Andrew Brown, based on the published |
| rules for MySpell and is also provided under the LGPL. |
| |
| In creating the affix rules an attempt has been made to |
| reproduce the most general rules for English word |
| formation, rather than merely use it as a means to |
| compress the size of the dictionary. It is hoped that this |
| will facilitate future localisation to other variants of |
| English. |

| Please let David Bartlett <dbartlett@iee.org> know of any |

| GNU LESSER GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE |
| Version 2.1, February 1999 |
| |
| Copyright (C) 1991, 1999 Free Software Foundation, Inc. |
| 59 Temple Place, Suite 330, Boston, MA 02111-1307 USA |
| Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies |
| of this license document, but changing it is not allowed. |
| |
| [This is the first released version of the Lesser GPL. It also counts |
| as the successor of the GNU Library Public License, version 2, hence |
| the version number 2.1.] |
| |
| Preamble |
| |
| The licenses for most software are designed to take away your |
| freedom to share and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public |
| Licenses are intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change |
| free software--to make sure the software is free for all its users. |
| |
| This license, the Lesser General Public License, applies to some |
| specially designated software packages--typically libraries--of the |
| Free Software Foundation and other authors who decide to use it. You |
| can use it too, but we suggest you first think carefully about whether |
| this license or the ordinary General Public License is the better |
| strategy to use in any particular case, based on the explanations below. |
| |
| When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom of use, |
| not price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that |
| you have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge |
| for this service if you wish); that you receive source code or can get |
| it if you want it; that you can change the software and use pieces of |
| it in new free programs; and that you are informed that you can do |
| these things. |
| |
| To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid |
| distributors to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender these |
| rights. These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for |
| you if you distribute copies of the library or if you modify it. |
| |
| For example, if you distribute copies of the library, whether gratis |
| or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that we gave |
| you. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the source |
| code. If you link other code with the library, you must provide |
| complete object files to the recipients, so that they can relink them |
| with the library after making changes to the library and recompiling |
| it. And you must show them these terms so they know their rights. |
| |
| We protect your rights with a two-step method: (1) we copyright the |
| library, and (2) we offer you this license, which gives you legal |
| permission to copy, distribute and/or modify the library. |
| |
| To protect each distributor, we want to make it very clear that |
| there is no warranty for the free library. Also, if the library is |
| modified by someone else and passed on, the recipients should know |
| that what they have is not the original version, so that the original |
| author's reputation will not be affected by problems that might be |
| introduced by others. |
| |
| Finally, software patents pose a constant threat to the existence of |
| any free program. We wish to make sure that a company cannot |
| effectively restrict the users of a free program by obtaining a |
| restrictive license from a patent holder. Therefore, we insist that |
| any patent license obtained for a version of the library must be |
| consistent with the full freedom of use specified in this license. |
| |
| Most GNU software, including some libraries, is covered by the |
| ordinary GNU General Public License. This license, the GNU Lesser |
| General Public License, applies to certain designated libraries, and |
| is quite different from the ordinary General Public License. We use |
| this license for certain libraries in order to permit linking those |
| libraries into non-free programs. |
| |
| When a program is linked with a library, whether statically or using |
| a shared library, the combination of the two is legally speaking a |
| combined work, a derivative of the original library. The ordinary |
| General Public License therefore permits such linking only if the |
| entire combination fits its criteria of freedom. The Lesser General |
| Public License permits more lax criteria for linking other code with |
| the library. |
| |
| We call this license the "Lesser" General Public License because it |
| does Less to protect the user's freedom than the ordinary General |
| Public License. It also provides other free software developers Less |
| of an advantage over competing non-free programs. These disadvantages |
| are the reason we use the ordinary General Public License for many |
| libraries. However, the Lesser license provides advantages in certain |
| special circumstances. |
| |
| For example, on rare occasions, there may be a special need to |
| encourage the widest possible use of a certain library, so that it becomes |
| a de-facto standard. To achieve this, non-free programs must be |
| allowed to use the library. A more frequent case is that a free |
| library does the same job as widely used non-free libraries. In this |
| case, there is little to gain by limiting the free library to free |
| software only, so we use the Lesser General Public License. |
| |
| In other cases, permission to use a particular library in non-free |
| programs enables a greater number of people to use a large body of |
| free software. For example, permission to use the GNU C Library in |
| non-free programs enables many more people to use the whole GNU |
| operating system, as well as its variant, the GNU/Linux operating |
| system. |
| |
| Although the Lesser General Public License is Less protective of the |
| users' freedom, it does ensure that the user of a program that is |
| linked with the Library has the freedom and the wherewithal to run |
| that program using a modified version of the Library. |
| |
| The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and |
| modification follow. Pay close attention to the difference between a |
| "work based on the library" and a "work that uses the library". The |
| former contains code derived from the library, whereas the latter must |
| be combined with the library in order to run. |
| |
| GNU LESSER GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE |
| TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION |
| |
| 0. This License Agreement applies to any software library or other |
| program which contains a notice placed by the copyright holder or |
| other authorized party saying it may be distributed under the terms of |
| this Lesser General Public License (also called "this License"). |
| Each licensee is addressed as "you". |
| |
| A "library" means a collection of software functions and/or data |
| prepared so as to be conveniently linked with application programs |
| (which use some of those functions and data) to form executables. |
| |
| The "Library", below, refers to any such software library or work |
| which has been distributed under these terms. A "work based on the |
| Library" means either the Library or any derivative work under |
| copyright law: that is to say, a work containing the Library or a |
| portion of it, either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated |
| straightforwardly into another language. (Hereinafter, translation is |
| included without limitation in the term "modification".) |
| |
| "Source code" for a work means the preferred form of the work for |
| making modifications to it. For a library, complete source code means |
| all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any associated |
| interface definition files, plus the scripts used to control compilation |
| and installation of the library. |
| |
| Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not |
| covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of |
| running a program using the Library is not restricted, and output from |
| such a program is covered only if its contents constitute a work based |
| on the Library (independent of the use of the Library in a tool for |
| writing it). Whether that is true depends on what the Library does |
| and what the program that uses the Library does. |
| |
| 1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Library's |
| complete source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that |
| you conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an |
| appropriate copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact |
| all the notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any |
| warranty; and distribute a copy of this License along with the |
| Library. |
| |
| You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, |
| and you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a |
| fee. |
| |
| 2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Library or any portion |
| of it, thus forming a work based on the Library, and copy and |
| distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1 |
| above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions: |
| |
| a) The modified work must itself be a software library. |
| |
| b) You must cause the files modified to carry prominent notices |
| stating that you changed the files and the date of any change. |
| |
| c) You must cause the whole of the work to be licensed at no |
| charge to all third parties under the terms of this License. |
| |
| d) If a facility in the modified Library refers to a function or a |
| table of data to be supplied by an application program that uses |
| the facility, other than as an argument passed when the facility |
| is invoked, then you must make a good faith effort to ensure that, |
| in the event an application does not supply such function or |
| table, the facility still operates, and performs whatever part of |
| its purpose remains meaningful. |
| |
| (For example, a function in a library to compute square roots has |
| a purpose that is entirely well-defined independent of the |
| application. Therefore, Subsection 2d requires that any |
| application-supplied function or table used by this function must |
| be optional: if the application does not supply it, the square |
| root function must still compute square roots.) |
| |
| These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If |
| identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Library, |
| and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in |
| themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those |
| sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you |
| distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based |
| on the Library, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of |
| this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the |
| entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote |
| it. |
| |
| Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest |
| your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to |
| exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or |
| collective works based on the Library. |
| |
| In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Library |
| with the Library (or with a work based on the Library) on a volume of |
| a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under |
| the scope of this License. |
| |
| 3. You may opt to apply the terms of the ordinary GNU General Public |
| License instead of this License to a given copy of the Library. To do |
| this, you must alter all the notices that refer to this License, so |
| that they refer to the ordinary GNU General Public License, version 2, |
| instead of to this License. (If a newer version than version 2 of the |
| ordinary GNU General Public License has appeared, then you can specify |
| that version instead if you wish.) Do not make any other change in |
| these notices. |
| |
| Once this change is made in a given copy, it is irreversible for |
| that copy, so the ordinary GNU General Public License applies to all |
| subsequent copies and derivative works made from that copy. |
| |
| This option is useful when you wish to copy part of the code of |
| the Library into a program that is not a library. |
| |
| 4. You may copy and distribute the Library (or a portion or |
| derivative of it, under Section 2) in object code or executable form |
| under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you accompany |
| it with the complete corresponding machine-readable source code, which |
| must be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a |
| medium customarily used for software interchange. |
| |
| If distribution of object code is made by offering access to copy |
| from a designated place, then offering equivalent access to copy the |
| source code from the same place satisfies the requirement to |
| distribute the source code, even though third parties are not |
| compelled to copy the source along with the object code. |
| |
| 5. A program that contains no derivative of any portion of the |
| Library, but is designed to work with the Library by being compiled or |
| linked with it, is called a "work that uses the Library". Such a |
| work, in isolation, is not a derivative work of the Library, and |
| therefore falls outside the scope of this License. |
| |
| However, linking a "work that uses the Library" with the Library |
| creates an executable that is a derivative of the Library (because it |
| contains portions of the Library), rather than a "work that uses the |
| library". The executable is therefore covered by this License. |
| Section 6 states terms for distribution of such executables. |
| |
| When a "work that uses the Library" uses material from a header file |
| that is part of the Library, the object code for the work may be a |
| derivative work of the Library even though the source code is not. |
| Whether this is true is especially significant if the work can be |
| linked without the Library, or if the work is itself a library. The |
| threshold for this to be true is not precisely defined by law. |
| |
| If such an object file uses only numerical parameters, data |
| structure layouts and accessors, and small macros and small inline |
| functions (ten lines or less in length), then the use of the object |
| file is unrestricted, regardless of whether it is legally a derivative |
| work. (Executables containing this object code plus portions of the |
| Library will still fall under Section 6.) |
| |
| Otherwise, if the work is a derivative of the Library, you may |
| distribute the object code for the work under the terms of Section 6. |
| Any executables containing that work also fall under Section 6, |
| whether or not they are linked directly with the Library itself. |
| |
| 6. As an exception to the Sections above, you may also combine or |
| link a "work that uses the Library" with the Library to produce a |
| work containing portions of the Library, and distribute that work |
| under terms of your choice, provided that the terms permit |
| modification of the work for the customer's own use and reverse |
| engineering for debugging such modifications. |
| |
| You must give prominent notice with each copy of the work that the |
| Library is used in it and that the Library and its use are covered by |
| this License. You must supply a copy of this License. If the work |
| during execution displays copyright notices, you must include the |
| copyright notice for the Library among them, as well as a reference |
| directing the user to the copy of this License. Also, you must do one |
| of these things: |
| |
| a) Accompany the work with the complete corresponding |
| machine-readable source code for the Library including whatever |
| changes were used in the work (which must be distributed under |
| Sections 1 and 2 above); and, if the work is an executable linked |
| with the Library, with the complete machine-readable "work that |
| uses the Library", as object code and/or source code, so that the |
| user can modify the Library and then relink to produce a modified |
| executable containing the modified Library. (It is understood |
| that the user who changes the contents of definitions files in the |
| Library will not necessarily be able to recompile the application |
| to use the modified definitions.) |
| |
| b) Use a suitable shared library mechanism for linking with the |
| Library. A suitable mechanism is one that (1) uses at run time a |
| copy of the library already present on the user's computer system, |
| rather than copying library functions into the executable, and (2) |
| will operate properly with a modified version of the library, if |
| the user installs one, as long as the modified version is |
| interface-compatible with the version that the work was made with. |
| |
| c) Accompany the work with a written offer, valid for at |
| least three years, to give the same user the materials |
| specified in Subsection 6a, above, for a charge no more |
| than the cost of performing this distribution. |
| |
| d) If distribution of the work is made by offering access to copy |
| from a designated place, offer equivalent access to copy the above |
| specified materials from the same place. |
| |
| e) Verify that the user has already received a copy of these |
| materials or that you have already sent this user a copy. |
| |
| For an executable, the required form of the "work that uses the |
| Library" must include any data and utility programs needed for |
| reproducing the executable from it. However, as a special exception, |
| the materials to be distributed need not include anything that is |
| normally distributed (in either source or binary form) with the major |
| components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the operating system on |
| which the executable runs, unless that component itself accompanies |
| the executable. |
| |
| It may happen that this requirement contradicts the license |
| restrictions of other proprietary libraries that do not normally |
| accompany the operating system. Such a contradiction means you cannot |
| use both them and the Library together in an executable that you |
| distribute. |
| |
| 7. You may place library facilities that are a work based on the |
| Library side-by-side in a single library together with other library |
| facilities not covered by this License, and distribute such a combined |
| library, provided that the separate distribution of the work based on |
| the Library and of the other library facilities is otherwise |
| permitted, and provided that you do these two things: |
| |
| a) Accompany the combined library with a copy of the same work |
| based on the Library, uncombined with any other library |
| facilities. This must be distributed under the terms of the |
| Sections above. |
| |
| b) Give prominent notice with the combined library of the fact |
| that part of it is a work based on the Library, and explaining |
| where to find the accompanying uncombined form of the same work. |
| |
| 8. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, link with, or distribute |
| the Library except as expressly provided under this License. Any |
| attempt otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense, link with, or |
| distribute the Library is void, and will automatically terminate your |
| rights under this License. However, parties who have received copies, |
| or rights, from you under this License will not have their licenses |
| terminated so long as such parties remain in full compliance. |
| |
| 9. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not |
| signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or |
| distribute the Library or its derivative works. These actions are |
| prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by |
| modifying or distributing the Library (or any work based on the |
| Library), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and |
| all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying |
| the Library or works based on it. |
| |
| 10. Each time you redistribute the Library (or any work based on the |
| Library), the recipient automatically receives a license from the |
| original licensor to copy, distribute, link with or modify the Library |
| subject to these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further |
| restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein. |
| You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties with |
| this License. |
| |
| 11. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent |
| infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues), |
| conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or |
| otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not |
| excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot |
| distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this |
| License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you |
| may not distribute the Library at all. For example, if a patent |
| license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Library by |
| all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then |
| the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to |
| refrain entirely from distribution of the Library. |
| |
| If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under any |
| particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to apply, |
| and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other circumstances. |
| |
| It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any |
| patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any |
| such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the |
| integrity of the free software distribution system which is |
| implemented by public license practices. Many people have made |
| generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed |
| through that system in reliance on consistent application of that |
| system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing |
| to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot |
| impose that choice. |
| |
| This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to |
| be a consequence of the rest of this License. |
| |
| 12. If the distribution and/or use of the Library is restricted in |
| certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the |
| original copyright holder who places the Library under this License may add |
| an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding those countries, |
| so that distribution is permitted only in or among countries not thus |
| excluded. In such case, this License incorporates the limitation as if |
| written in the body of this License. |
| |
| 13. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new |
| versions of the Lesser General Public License from time to time. |
| Such new versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, |
| but may differ in detail to address new problems or concerns. |
| |
| Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Library |
| specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and |
| "any later version", you have the option of following the terms and |
| conditions either of that version or of any later version published by |
| the Free Software Foundation. If the Library does not specify a |
| license version number, you may choose any version ever published by |
| the Free Software Foundation. |
| |
| 14. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Library into other free |
| programs whose distribution conditions are incompatible with these, |
| write to the author to ask for permission. For software which is |
| copyrighted by the Free Software Foundation, write to the Free |
| Software Foundation; we sometimes make exceptions for this. Our |
| decision will be guided by the two goals of preserving the free status |
| of all derivatives of our free software and of promoting the sharing |
| and reuse of software generally. |
| |
| NO WARRANTY |
| |
| 15. BECAUSE THE LIBRARY IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO |
| WARRANTY FOR THE LIBRARY, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. |
| EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR |
| OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE LIBRARY "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY |
| KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE |
| IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR |
| PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE |
| LIBRARY IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE LIBRARY PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME |
| THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION. |
| |
| 16. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN |
| WRITING WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY |
| AND/OR REDISTRIBUTE THE LIBRARY AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU |
| FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR |
| CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE |
| LIBRARY (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING |
| RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A |
| FAILURE OF THE LIBRARY TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER SOFTWARE), EVEN IF |
| SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH |
| DAMAGES. |
