20English wordlist created by Kevin Atkinson for Pspell
21and Aspell and thus is covered by his original
22LGPL license. The affix file is a heavily modified
23version of the original english.aff file which was

32This dictionary was based on the en_GB Myspell dictionary
33which in turn was initially based on a subset of the
34original English wordlist created by Kevin Atkinson for
35Pspell and Aspell and thus is covered by his original
36LGPL licence.

44- Words incorrect in Australian English removed
45- a list from the previously removed words with corrected spelling was added
46- a list of major rivers was added
47- a list of place names was added
48- a list of Australian mammals was added
49- a list of Aboriginal/Koori words commonly used was added
50
51A total of 119,267 words are now recognized
52by the dictionary.
53
54Of course, special thanks go to the editors of the
55en_GB dictionary (David Bartlett, Brian Kelk and
56Andrew Brown) which provided the starting point
57for this dictionary.
58
59The affix file is currently a duplicate of the en_AU.aff
60created completely from scratch by David Bartlett and
61Andrew Brown, based on the published
62rules for MySpell and is also provided under the LGPL.

73The dictionary file was created using the "final" English and Canadian SCOWL
74(Spell Checker Oriented Word Lists) wordlists available at Kevin's Word Lists
75Page (http://wordlist.sourceforge.net). Lists with the suffixes 10, 20, 35,
7650, 65 and 65 were used. Lists with the suffixes 70, 80 and 95 were excluded.
77Copyright information for SCOWL and the wordlists used in creating it is
78reproduced below.
79
80The affix file is identical to the MySpell English (United States) affix file.
81It is a heavily modified version of the original english.aff file which was
82released as part of Geoff Kuenning's Ispell and as such is covered by his BSD
83license.

103Alan Beale <biljir@pobox.com> also deserves special credit as he has,
104in addition to providing the 12Dicts package and being a major
105contributor to the ENABLE word list, given me an incredible amount of
106feedback and created a number of special lists (those found in the
107Supplement) in order to help improve the overall quality of SCOWL.
108
109The 10 level includes the 1000 most common English words (according to
110the Moby (TM) Words II [MWords] package), a subset of the 1000 most
111common words on the Internet (again, according to Moby Words II), and
112frequently class 16 from Brian Kelk's "UK English Wordlist
113with Frequency Classification".

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

138 From: Brian Kelk <Brian.Kelk@cl.cam.ac.uk>
139
140> I was wondering what the copyright status of your "UK English
141 > Wordlist With Frequency Classification" word list as it seems to
142 > be lacking any copyright notice.
143
144 There were many many sources in total, but any text marked
145 "copyright" was avoided. Locally-written documentation was one
146 source. An earlier version of the list resided in a filespace called
147 PUBLIC on the University mainframe, because it was considered public
148 domain.
149
150 Date: Tue, 11 Jul 2000 19:31:34 +0100
151
152 > So are you saying your word list is also in the public domain?
153
154 That is the intention.
155
156The 20 level includes frequency classes 7-15 from Brian's word list.
157
158The 35 level includes frequency classes 2-6 and words appearing in at
159least 11 of 12 dictionaries as indicated in the 12Dicts package. All
160words from the 12Dicts package have had likely inflections added via
161my inflection database.
162

196 any associated documentation shall at all times remain with
197 Princeton University and LICENSEE agrees to preserve same.
198
199The 50 level includes Brian's frequency class 1, words words appearing
200in at least 5 of 12 of the dictionaries as indicated in the 12Dicts
201package, and uppercase words in at least 4 of the previous 12
202dictionaries. A decent number of proper names is also included: The
203top 1000 male, female, and Last names from the 1990 Census report; a
204list of names sent to me by Alan Beale; and a few names that I added
205myself. Finally a small list of abbreviations not commonly found in
206other word lists is included.
207
208The name files form the Census report is a government document which I
209don't think can be copyrighted.
210
211The name list from Alan Beale is also derived from the linux words
212list, which is derived from the DEC list. He also added a bunch of
213miscellaneous names to the list, which he released to the Public Domain.
214
215The DEC Word list doesn't have a formal name. It is labeled as "FILE:
216english.words; VERSION: DEC-SRC-92-04-05" and was put together by Jorge
217Stolfi <stolfi@src.dec.com> DEC Systems Research Center. The DEC Word
218list has the following copyright statement:
219
220 (NON-)COPYRIGHT STATUS
221
222 To the best of my knowledge, all the files I used to build these
223 wordlists were available for public distribution and use, at least
224 for non-commercial purposes. I have confirmed this assumption with
225 the authors of the lists, whenever they were known.
226
227 Therefore, it is safe to assume that the wordlists in this package
228 can also be freely copied, distributed, modified, and used for
229 personal, educational, and research purposes. (Use of these files in
230 commercial products may require written permission from DEC and/or
231 the authors of the original lists.)
232
233 Whenever you distribute any of these wordlists, please distribute
234 also the accompanying README file. If you distribute a modified
235 copy of one of these wordlists, please include the original README
236 file with a note explaining your modifications. Your users will
237 surely appreciate that.
238
239 (NO-)WARRANTY DISCLAIMER
240
241 These files, like the original wordlists on which they are based,
242 are still very incomplete, uneven, and inconsitent, and probably
243 contain many errors. They are offered "as is" without any warranty
244 of correctness or fitness for any particular purpose. Neither I nor
245 my employer can be held responsible for any losses or damages that
246 may result from their use.
247
248However since this Word List is used in the linux.words package which
249the author claims is free of any copyright I assume it is OK to use
250for most purposes. If you want to use this in a commercial project
251and this concerns you the information from the DEC word list can
252easily be removed without much sacrifice in quality as only the name
253lists were used.
254
255The file special-jargon.50 uses common.lst and word.lst from the
256"Unofficial Jargon File Word Lists" which is derived from "The Jargon
257File". All of which is in the Public Domain. This file also contain
258a few extra UNIX terms which are found in the file "unix-terms" in the
259special/ directory.
260
261The 60 level includes Brian's frequency class 0 and all words
262appearing in at least 2 of the 12 dictionaries as indicated by the
26312Dicts package. A large number of names are also included: The 4,946
264female names and 3,897 male names from the MWords package and the
265files "computer.names", "misc.names", and "org.names" from the DEC
266package.
267
268The 65 level includes words found in the Ispell "medium" word list.
269The Ispell word lists are under the same copyright of Ispell itself

308
309The 70 level includes the 74,550 common dictionary words and the 21,986 names
310list from the MWords package. The common dictionary words, like those
311from the 12Dicts package, have had all likely inflections added.
312
313The 80 level includes the ENABLE word list, all the lists in the
314ENABLE supplement package (except for ABLE), the "UK Advanced Cryptics
315Dictionary" (UKACD), the list of signature words in from YAWL package,
316and the 10,196 places list from the MWords package.
317
318The ENABLE package, mainted by M\Cooper <thegrendel@theriver.com>,
319is in the Public Domain:
320
321 The ENABLE master word list, WORD.LST, is herewith formally released
322 into the Public Domain. Anyone is free to use it or distribute it in
323 any manner they see fit. No fee or registration is required for its
324 use nor are "contributions" solicited (if you feel you absolutely
325 must contribute something for your own peace of mind, the authors of
326 the ENABLE list ask that you make a donation on their behalf to your
327 favorite charity). This word list is our gift to the Scrabble
328 community, as an alternate to "official" word lists. Game designers
329 may feel free to incorporate the WORD.LST into their games. Please
330 mention the source and credit us as originators of the list. Note
331 that if you, as a game designer, use the WORD.LST in your product,
332 you may still copyright and protect your product, but you may *not*
333 legally copyright or in any way restrict redistribution of the
334 WORD.LST portion of your product. This *may* under law restrict your
335 rights to restrict your users' rights, but that is only fair.

346 verbatim.
347
348 There are no other restrictions: I would like to see the list
349 distributed as widely as possible.
350
351The 95 level includes the 354,984 single words and 256,772 compound
352words from the MWords package, ABLE.LST from the ENABLE Supplement,
353and some additional words found in my part-of-speech database that

358My VARCON package was used to create the American, British, and

365The variant word lists were created from a list of variants found in

372This dictionary was initially based on a subset of the
373original English wordlist created by Kevin Atkinson for
374Pspell and Aspell and thus is covered by his original
375LGPL licence.
376
377It has been extensively updated by David Bartlett, Brian Kelk
378and Andrew Brown:
379- numerous Americanism have been removed
380- numerous American spellings have been corrected
381- missing words have been added
382- many errors have been corrected
383- compound hyphenated words have been added where appropriate
384
385Valuable inputs to this process were received from many other
386people - far too numerous to name. Serious thanks to you all
387for your greatly appreciated help.
388
389This word list is intended to be a good representation of
390current modern British English and thus it should be a good
391basis for Commonwealth English in most countries of the world
392outside North America.
393
394The affix file has been created completely from scratch
395by David Bartlett and Andrew Brown, based on the published
396rules for MySpell and is also provided under the LGPL.
397
398In creating the affix rules an attempt has been made to
399reproduce the most general rules for English word
400formation, rather than merely use it as a means to
401compress the size of the dictionary. It is hoped that this
402will facilitate future localisation to other variants of
403English.

483 Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
484 of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
485
486[This is the first released version of the Lesser GPL. It also counts
487 as the successor of the GNU Library Public License, version 2, hence
488 the version number 2.1.]
489
490 Preamble
491
492 The licenses for most software are designed to take away your
493freedom to share and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public
494Licenses are intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change
495free software--to make sure the software is free for all its users.
496
497 This license, the Lesser General Public License, applies to some
498specially designated software packages--typically libraries--of the
499Free Software Foundation and other authors who decide to use it. You
500can use it too, but we suggest you first think carefully about whether
501this license or the ordinary General Public License is the better
502strategy to use in any particular case, based on the explanations below.
503
504 When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom of use,
505not price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that
506you have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge
507for this service if you wish); that you receive source code or can get
508it if you want it; that you can change the software and use pieces of
509it in new free programs; and that you are informed that you can do
510these things.
511
512 To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid
513distributors to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender these
514rights. These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for
515you if you distribute copies of the library or if you modify it.
516
517 For example, if you distribute copies of the library, whether gratis
518or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that we gave
519you. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the source
520code. If you link other code with the library, you must provide
521complete object files to the recipients, so that they can relink them
522with the library after making changes to the library and recompiling
523it. And you must show them these terms so they know their rights.
524
525 We protect your rights with a two-step method: (1) we copyright the
526library, and (2) we offer you this license, which gives you legal
527permission to copy, distribute and/or modify the library.
528
529 To protect each distributor, we want to make it very clear that
530there is no warranty for the free library. Also, if the library is
531modified by someone else and passed on, the recipients should know
532that what they have is not the original version, so that the original
533author's reputation will not be affected by problems that might be
534introduced by others.
535
536 Finally, software patents pose a constant threat to the existence of
537any free program. We wish to make sure that a company cannot
538effectively restrict the users of a free program by obtaining a
539restrictive license from a patent holder. Therefore, we insist that
540any patent license obtained for a version of the library must be
541consistent with the full freedom of use specified in this license.
542
543 Most GNU software, including some libraries, is covered by the
544ordinary GNU General Public License. This license, the GNU Lesser
545General Public License, applies to certain designated libraries, and
546is quite different from the ordinary General Public License. We use
547this license for certain libraries in order to permit linking those
548libraries into non-free programs.
549
550 When a program is linked with a library, whether statically or using
551a shared library, the combination of the two is legally speaking a
552combined work, a derivative of the original library. The ordinary
553General Public License therefore permits such linking only if the
554entire combination fits its criteria of freedom. The Lesser General
555Public License permits more lax criteria for linking other code with
556the library.
557
558 We call this license the "Lesser" General Public License because it
559does Less to protect the user's freedom than the ordinary General
560Public License. It also provides other free software developers Less
561of an advantage over competing non-free programs. These disadvantages
562are the reason we use the ordinary General Public License for many
563libraries. However, the Lesser license provides advantages in certain
564special circumstances.
565
566 For example, on rare occasions, there may be a special need to
567encourage the widest possible use of a certain library, so that it becomes
568a de-facto standard. To achieve this, non-free programs must be
569allowed to use the library. A more frequent case is that a free
570library does the same job as widely used non-free libraries. In this
571case, there is little to gain by limiting the free library to free
572software only, so we use the Lesser General Public License.
573
574 In other cases, permission to use a particular library in non-free
575programs enables a greater number of people to use a large body of
576free software. For example, permission to use the GNU C Library in
577non-free programs enables many more people to use the whole GNU
578operating system, as well as its variant, the GNU/Linux operating
579system.
580
581 Although the Lesser General Public License is Less protective of the
582users' freedom, it does ensure that the user of a program that is
583linked with the Library has the freedom and the wherewithal to run
584that program using a modified version of the Library.
585
586 The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
587modification follow. Pay close attention to the difference between a
588"work based on the library" and a "work that uses the library". The
589former contains code derived from the library, whereas the latter must
590be combined with the library in order to run.
591
592 GNU LESSER GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
593 TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION
594
595 0. This License Agreement applies to any software library or other
596program which contains a notice placed by the copyright holder or
597other authorized party saying it may be distributed under the terms of
598this Lesser General Public License (also called "this License").
599Each licensee is addressed as "you".
600
601 A "library" means a collection of software functions and/or data
602prepared so as to be conveniently linked with application programs
603(which use some of those functions and data) to form executables.
604
605 The "Library", below, refers to any such software library or work
606which has been distributed under these terms. A "work based on the
607Library" means either the Library or any derivative work under
608copyright law: that is to say, a work containing the Library or a
609portion of it, either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated
610straightforwardly into another language. (Hereinafter, translation is
611included without limitation in the term "modification".)
612
613 "Source code" for a work means the preferred form of the work for
614making modifications to it. For a library, complete source code means
615all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any associated
616interface definition files, plus the scripts used to control compilation
617and installation of the library.
618
619 Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not
620covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of
621running a program using the Library is not restricted, and output from
622such a program is covered only if its contents constitute a work based
623on the Library (independent of the use of the Library in a tool for
624writing it). Whether that is true depends on what the Library does
625and what the program that uses the Library does.
626
627 1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Library's
628complete source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that
629you conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an
630appropriate copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact
631all the notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any
632warranty; and distribute a copy of this License along with the
633Library.
634
635 You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy,
636and you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a
637fee.
638
639 2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Library or any portion
640of it, thus forming a work based on the Library, and copy and
641distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1
642above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
643
644 a) The modified work must itself be a software library.
645
646 b) You must cause the files modified to carry prominent notices
647 stating that you changed the files and the date of any change.
648
649 c) You must cause the whole of the work to be licensed at no
650 charge to all third parties under the terms of this License.
651
652 d) If a facility in the modified Library refers to a function or a
653 table of data to be supplied by an application program that uses
654 the facility, other than as an argument passed when the facility
655 is invoked, then you must make a good faith effort to ensure that,
656 in the event an application does not supply such function or
657 table, the facility still operates, and performs whatever part of
658 its purpose remains meaningful.
659
660 (For example, a function in a library to compute square roots has
661 a purpose that is entirely well-defined independent of the
662 application. Therefore, Subsection 2d requires that any
663 application-supplied function or table used by this function must
664 be optional: if the application does not supply it, the square
665 root function must still compute square roots.)
666
667These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If
668identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Library,
669and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in
670themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those
671sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you
672distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based
673on the Library, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of
674this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the
675entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote
676it.
677
678Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest
679your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to
680exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or
681collective works based on the Library.
682
683In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Library
684with the Library (or with a work based on the Library) on a volume of
685a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under
686the scope of this License.
687
688 3. You may opt to apply the terms of the ordinary GNU General Public
689License instead of this License to a given copy of the Library. To do
690this, you must alter all the notices that refer to this License, so
691that they refer to the ordinary GNU General Public License, version 2,
692instead of to this License. (If a newer version than version 2 of the
693ordinary GNU General Public License has appeared, then you can specify
694that version instead if you wish.) Do not make any other change in
695these notices.
696
697 Once this change is made in a given copy, it is irreversible for
698that copy, so the ordinary GNU General Public License applies to all
699subsequent copies and derivative works made from that copy.
700
701 This option is useful when you wish to copy part of the code of
702the Library into a program that is not a library.
703
704 4. You may copy and distribute the Library (or a portion or
705derivative of it, under Section 2) in object code or executable form
706under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you accompany
707it with the complete corresponding machine-readable source code, which
708must be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a
709medium customarily used for software interchange.
710
711 If distribution of object code is made by offering access to copy
712from a designated place, then offering equivalent access to copy the
713source code from the same place satisfies the requirement to
714distribute the source code, even though third parties are not
715compelled to copy the source along with the object code.
716
717 5. A program that contains no derivative of any portion of the
718Library, but is designed to work with the Library by being compiled or
719linked with it, is called a "work that uses the Library". Such a
720work, in isolation, is not a derivative work of the Library, and
721therefore falls outside the scope of this License.
722
723 However, linking a "work that uses the Library" with the Library
724creates an executable that is a derivative of the Library (because it
725contains portions of the Library), rather than a "work that uses the
726library". The executable is therefore covered by this License.
727Section 6 states terms for distribution of such executables.
728
729 When a "work that uses the Library" uses material from a header file
730that is part of the Library, the object code for the work may be a
731derivative work of the Library even though the source code is not.
732Whether this is true is especially significant if the work can be
733linked without the Library, or if the work is itself a library. The
734threshold for this to be true is not precisely defined by law.
735
736 If such an object file uses only numerical parameters, data
737structure layouts and accessors, and small macros and small inline
738functions (ten lines or less in length), then the use of the object
739file is unrestricted, regardless of whether it is legally a derivative
740work. (Executables containing this object code plus portions of the
741Library will still fall under Section 6.)
742
743 Otherwise, if the work is a derivative of the Library, you may
744distribute the object code for the work under the terms of Section 6.
745Any executables containing that work also fall under Section 6,
746whether or not they are linked directly with the Library itself.
747
748 6. As an exception to the Sections above, you may also combine or
749link a "work that uses the Library" with the Library to produce a
750work containing portions of the Library, and distribute that work
751under terms of your choice, provided that the terms permit
752modification of the work for the customer's own use and reverse
753engineering for debugging such modifications.
754
755 You must give prominent notice with each copy of the work that the
756Library is used in it and that the Library and its use are covered by
757this License. You must supply a copy of this License. If the work
758during execution displays copyright notices, you must include the
759copyright notice for the Library among them, as well as a reference
760directing the user to the copy of this License. Also, you must do one
761of these things:
762
763 a) Accompany the work with the complete corresponding
764 machine-readable source code for the Library including whatever
765 changes were used in the work (which must be distributed under
766 Sections 1 and 2 above); and, if the work is an executable linked
767 with the Library, with the complete machine-readable "work that
768 uses the Library", as object code and/or source code, so that the
769 user can modify the Library and then relink to produce a modified
770 executable containing the modified Library. (It is understood
771 that the user who changes the contents of definitions files in the
772 Library will not necessarily be able to recompile the application
773 to use the modified definitions.)
774
775 b) Use a suitable shared library mechanism for linking with the
776 Library. A suitable mechanism is one that (1) uses at run time a
777 copy of the library already present on the user's computer system,
778 rather than copying library functions into the executable, and (2)
779 will operate properly with a modified version of the library, if
780 the user installs one, as long as the modified version is
781 interface-compatible with the version that the work was made with.
782
783 c) Accompany the work with a written offer, valid for at
784 least three years, to give the same user the materials
785 specified in Subsection 6a, above, for a charge no more
786 than the cost of performing this distribution.
787
788 d) If distribution of the work is made by offering access to copy
789 from a designated place, offer equivalent access to copy the above
790 specified materials from the same place.
791
792 e) Verify that the user has already received a copy of these
793 materials or that you have already sent this user a copy.
794
795 For an executable, the required form of the "work that uses the
796Library" must include any data and utility programs needed for
797reproducing the executable from it. However, as a special exception,
798the materials to be distributed need not include anything that is
799normally distributed (in either source or binary form) with the major
800components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the operating system on
801which the executable runs, unless that component itself accompanies
802the executable.
803
804 It may happen that this requirement contradicts the license
805restrictions of other proprietary libraries that do not normally
806accompany the operating system. Such a contradiction means you cannot
807use both them and the Library together in an executable that you
808distribute.
809
810 7. You may place library facilities that are a work based on the
811Library side-by-side in a single library together with other library
812facilities not covered by this License, and distribute such a combined
813library, provided that the separate distribution of the work based on
814the Library and of the other library facilities is otherwise
815permitted, and provided that you do these two things:
816
817 a) Accompany the combined library with a copy of the same work
818 based on the Library, uncombined with any other library
819 facilities. This must be distributed under the terms of the
820 Sections above.
821
822 b) Give prominent notice with the combined library of the fact
823 that part of it is a work based on the Library, and explaining
824 where to find the accompanying uncombined form of the same work.
825
826 8. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, link with, or distribute
827the Library except as expressly provided under this License. Any
828attempt otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense, link with, or
829distribute the Library is void, and will automatically terminate your
830rights under this License. However, parties who have received copies,
831or rights, from you under this License will not have their licenses
832terminated so long as such parties remain in full compliance.
833
834 9. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not
835signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or
836distribute the Library or its derivative works. These actions are
837prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by
838modifying or distributing the Library (or any work based on the
839Library), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and
840all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying
841the Library or works based on it.
842
843 10. Each time you redistribute the Library (or any work based on the
844Library), the recipient automatically receives a license from the
845original licensor to copy, distribute, link with or modify the Library
846subject to these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further
847restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein.
848You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties with
849this License.
850
851 11. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent
852infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues),
853conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
854otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
855excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot
856distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this
857License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you
858may not distribute the Library at all. For example, if a patent
859license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Library by
860all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then
861the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to
862refrain entirely from distribution of the Library.
863
864If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under any
865particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to apply,
866and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other circumstances.
867
868It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any
869patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any
870such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the
871integrity of the free software distribution system which is
872implemented by public license practices. Many people have made
873generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed
874through that system in reliance on consistent application of that
875system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing
876to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot
877impose that choice.
878
879This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to
880be a consequence of the rest of this License.
881
882 12. If the distribution and/or use of the Library is restricted in
883certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the
884original copyright holder who places the Library under this License may add
885an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding those countries,
886so that distribution is permitted only in or among countries not thus
887excluded. In such case, this License incorporates the limitation as if
888written in the body of this License.
889
890 13. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new
891versions of the Lesser General Public License from time to time.
892Such new versions will be similar in spirit to the present version,
893but may differ in detail to address new problems or concerns.
894
895Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Library
896specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and
897"any later version", you have the option of following the terms and
898conditions either of that version or of any later version published by
899the Free Software Foundation. If the Library does not specify a
900license version number, you may choose any version ever published by
901the Free Software Foundation.
902
903 14. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Library into other free
904programs whose distribution conditions are incompatible with these,
905write to the author to ask for permission. For software which is
906copyrighted by the Free Software Foundation, write to the Free
907Software Foundation; we sometimes make exceptions for this. Our
908decision will be guided by the two goals of preserving the free status
909of all derivatives of our free software and of promoting the sharing
910and reuse of software generally.
911
912 NO WARRANTY
913
914 15. BECAUSE THE LIBRARY IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO
915WARRANTY FOR THE LIBRARY, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.
916EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR
917OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE LIBRARY "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY
918KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE
919IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
920PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE
921LIBRARY IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE LIBRARY PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME
922THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
923
924 16. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN
925WRITING WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY
926AND/OR REDISTRIBUTE THE LIBRARY AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU
927FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR
928CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE
929LIBRARY (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING
930RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A
931FAILURE OF THE LIBRARY TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER SOFTWARE), EVEN IF
932SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH
933DAMAGES.
934
935 END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
