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.

12Thanks to both authors for there wonderful work.

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.

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.

81Alan Beale <biljir@pobox.com> also deserves special credit as he has,
82in addition to providing the 12Dicts package and being a major
83contributor to the ENABLE word list, given me an incredible amount of
84feedback and created a number of special lists (those found in the
85Supplement) in order to help improve the overall quality of SCOWL.
86
87The 10 level includes the 1000 most common English words (according to
88the Moby (TM) Words II [MWords] package), a subset of the 1000 most
89common words on the Internet (again, according to Moby Words II), and
90frequently class 16 from Brian Kelk's "UK English Wordlist
91with Frequency Classification".

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.

144Inflections database, is under the following copyright:

174 any associated documentation shall at all times remain with
175 Princeton University and LICENSEE agrees to preserve same.
176
177The 50 level includes Brian's frequency class 1, words words appearing
178in at least 5 of 12 of the dictionaries as indicated in the 12Dicts
179package, and uppercase words in at least 4 of the previous 12
180dictionaries. 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 inconsitent, 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

286
287The 70 level includes the 74,550 common dictionary words and the 21,986 names
288list from the MWords package. 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.

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. This *may* under law restrict your

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

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 used in the
340VARCON package came from the Ispell distribution they are under the
341Ispell copyright.
342
343The variant word lists were created from a list of variants found in
344the 12dicts supplement package as well as a list of variants I created
345myself.

350===================================================
351en_GB:
352This dictionary was initially based on a subset of the
353original English wordlist created by Kevin Atkinson for
354Pspell and Aspell and thus is covered by his original
355LGPL licence.
356
357It has been extensively updated by David Bartlett, Brian Kelk
358and Andrew Brown:
359- numerous Americanism have been removed
360- numerous American spellings have been corrected
361- missing words have been added
362- many errors have been corrected
363- compound hyphenated words have been added where appropriate
364
365Valuable inputs to this process were received from many other
366people - far too numerous to name. Serious thanks to you all
367for your greatly appreciated help.
368
369This word list is intended to be a good representation of
370current modern British English and thus it should be a good
371basis for Commonwealth English in most countries of the world
372outside North America.
373
374The affix file has been created completely from scratch
375by David Bartlett and Andrew Brown, based on the published
376rules for MySpell and is also provided under the LGPL.
377
378In creating the affix rules an attempt has been made to
379reproduce the most general rules for English word
380formation, rather than merely use it as a means to
381compress the size of the dictionary. It is hoped that this
382will facilitate future localisation to other variants of
383English.
384
385Please let David Bartlett <dwb@openoffice.org> know of any
386errors that you find.

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