Setting Up Your Device
The following topics describe how to set up and start using your device.
Starting Your Device for the First Time
The NETGEAR 341U USB Modem is designed to activate automatically the first time that it is
plugged in, using ‘hands-free activation’. Typically, the activation process will be seamless, not
requiring any action on your part; you might not even see any activation-related messages on
the device’s OLED display.
If your account did not activate for some reason (you are not in an area with Spr int 3G or LTE
network coverage, you are in an area where you can’t get signal such as a building or tunnel,
etc.), a message will appear on the OLED display telling you to go to http://sprintmodem/ to
activate the account.
You must activate your account before you can use Sprint data services.
Plug in the Modem to Automatically Activate Your Account
1. Insert the USB modem into an available USB 2.0 or USB 3.0 slot. The device starts up
and, if a Sprint 3G or LTE network signal is available, it will aut om atically try to activate
your account (a message will appear indicating hands free activation is in progress).
2. If the activation succeeds, the OLED display shows the home screen. If the activation
fails, you can try to activate the account from the NETGEAR 341U Manager, or repeat
this procedure when you are in a Sprint coverage area.
Activate Your Account From the NETGEAR 341U Manager
If your account was not activated automatically when you inserted the USB modem, you cannot
use Sprint data services.
You can attempt to activate the account from the NETGEAR 341U Manag er :
1. Log in to the home page. (See Logging In as an Adm inist r ator.) If a Sprint 3 G or LTE
network signal is available, hands free activation begins automatically.
2. Read the End User License Agreement that appears and, when you are ready, click
I Agree to accept the terms of the agreement.
If the account is still activating, a Hands Free Activation message will display the current
status. Wait for the process to finish (recommended) or click Cancel.
If you cancel the activation, follow the instructions that appear to finish the activation
process.
If the activation succeeds, an Activation Complete message will appear.

At the time of this release, roaming (that is, using a network other than Spr int ) on LTE is not
supported.
Roaming is supported on 3G (CDMA) networks.
To change the roaming setting, see Setting the Roaming Mode.
What Do I Do if I Forget the Administrator Password?
Here’s what to do if you forgot the Administrator Password.
1. Reset the software to default settings. You will need to call Sprint Customer Support for
assistance. (See Resetting to Factory Default Settings.)
If the Connection is “Alwa ys On,” Am I Always Being Billed?
No. The connection to the network goes dormant after a period of inactivity, but the connection
can be re-established faster than having to reconnect. Billing occurs only when data is passed
across the network.
Questions About GPS
Find answers to common questions about GPS.
What is GPS?
GPS stands for Global Positioning System, which is a system that uses a series of 24
geosynchronous satellites to provide location data.
GPS satellites transmit signals to equipment on the ground. GPS receivers passively receive
satellite signals, but do not transmit.
Frequently Asked Questions 49
Page 56
Where Can I Use GPS?
GPS works wherever you have line-of-sight access to the GPS satellites.
How Do I Enable or Disable GPS?
By default, GPS is disabled. To enable GPS, see Enabling / Disabling GPS.
What are some GPS Limitations?
Weather conditions or tall nearby buildings may affect your ability to get a clear view of the
satellites and thus to acquire a GPS fix.
How Can I Stream GPS Data to Use With a Third-party GPS Application?
GPS NMEA data is streamed over a tethered USB connection using a virtual COM port.
Follow these steps to stream NMEA data for a third-party GPS application.
1. Set GPS Mode to Continuous. (See Setting the GPS Mode.)
2. Determine the COM port number that your NETGEAR device (that is, your NETGEAR
341U USB Modem) is using.
In the following example for Windows, the Device Manager shows that COM 16 is used.
In your case, the COM port number might be different.
(If you don’t know how to access the Device Manager, see
http://kb.netgear.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/22868.)
3. Configure your GPS application to use the same COM port. For help, see the
documentation of the GPS application.
How Do I Access My Corporate Network Through a VPN?
Once you complete a wireless connection, you may need to launch an extranet client provided
by your company and supply the appropriate user name and password to gain access. For
support, contact your company help desk.
Are Terminal Sessions S upported?
Terminal sessions (for example, via telnet or ssh) are not supported.

Tips
This section provides information on getting the most out of your device and your net work
connection.
USB Modem Location
Follow these guidelines in placing your device.
● Avoid moisture or extreme temperatures.
● For improved reception, place the device near a closed window.
● Place your device within easy reach of a reliable power supply and the computer to
which it will be connected.
Improving Signal Strength
There are several ways you can improve the signal strength.
● Make sure you’re inside a network coverage area.
● Try reorienting your device.
● Move your com put er to another location — you may be in or near a structure that is
blocking the signal. Every obstacle (for example, walls, ceilings, furniture) decreases the
signal strength.
● Make sure there’s plenty of space around your device to provide the best signal
reception.
● If you cannot obtain service, contact Sprint — a network or account problem may be
preventing you from obtaining service.
Improving 3G Network Service
To improve your network service, periodically check for PRL and profile updates.
The PRL (Preferred Roaming List) is an account configuration item set by your service provider.
It controls the radio channels and network carrier used by the 3G modem.
To check for these updates:
1. Log in to the home page. (See Logging In as an Administrator.)
2. Click Settings > Network > Preferences.
3. Click Update PRL.

Important Notice
Due to the nature of wireless communications, transmission and reception of data can never be
guaranteed. Data may be delayed, corrupted (i.e., have errors) or be totally lost. Although
significant delays or losses of data are rare when wireless devices such as the NETGEAR 341U
USB Modem are used in a normal manner with a well-constructed network, the device should
not be used in situations where failure to transmit or receive data could result in damage of any
kind to the user or any other party, including but not limited to personal injury, death, or loss of
property. NETGEAR accepts no responsibility for damages of any kind resulting from delays or
errors in data transmitted or received using the device, or for failure of the device to transmit or
receive such data.
Safety and Hazards
Do not operate your device under the following conditions.
● In areas where blasting is in progress
● Where explosive atmospheres may be present
● Near medical equipment
● Near life support equipment, or any equipment that may be susceptible to any form of
radio interference.
In such areas, your device MUST BE POWERED OFF. The device can transmit signals that
could interfere with this equipment.
Do not operate the device in any aircraft, whether the aircraft is on the ground or in flight. In
aircraft, the device MUST BE POWERED OFF. When operating, the device can transmit signals
that could interfere with various onboard systems.
Note: Some airlines may permit the use of cellular phones while the aircraft is on the ground
and the door is open. The device may be used at this time.
The driver or operator of any vehicle should not operate the device while in control of a vehicle.
Doing so will detract from the driver or operator’s control and operation of that vehicle. In some
jurisdictions, operating such communications devices while in control of a vehicle is an offense.

Licenses
A large amount of the source code to this product is available under various free and open
source licenses. Most is available under one or more versions of the GNU General Public
License and/or GNU Limited General Public License.
The remainder of the open source software which is not under the GPL is available under one of
a variety of more permissive licenses. Those that require reproduction of the license text in the
distribution are listed in the sections that follow (starting with fontconfig License).
GNU General Public License (Version 2)
Version 2, June 1991
Copyright (C) 1989, 1991 Free Software Foundation, Inc. 51 Franklin St, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA
02110-1301 USA
Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this license document, but
changing it is not allowed.
Preamble
The licenses for most software are designed to take away your freedom to share and change it.
By contrast, the GNU General Public License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share
and change free software--to make sure the software is free for all its user s . This General Public
License applies to most of the Free Software Foundation's software and to any other program
whose authors commit to using it. (Some other Free Software Foundation software is covered
by the GNU Library General Public License instead.) You can apply it to your programs, too.
When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, 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 or use pieces of it in new free programs; and that
you know you can do these things.
Legal 61
Page 68
To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid anyone to deny you these r ights
or to ask you to surrender the rights. These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for
you if you distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it.
For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether gratis or for a f ee, you must
give the recipients all the rights that you have. You must make sure that they, too, receive or
can get the source code. And you must show them these terms so they know their rights.
We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and (2) offer you this license
which gives you legal permission to copy, distribute and/or modify the software.
Also, for each author’s protection and ours, we want to make certain that everyone understands
that there is no warranty for this free software. If the software is modified by someone else and
passed on, we want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so that any
problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original authors' reputations.
Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software patents. We wish to avoid the
danger that redistributors of a free program will individually obtain patent licenses, in effect
making the program proprietary. To prevent this, we have made it clear that any patent m ust be
licensed for everyone's free use or not licensed at all.
The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and modification follow.
GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DIS TRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION
0. This License applies to any program or other work which contains a notice placed by the
copyright holder saying it may be distributed under the terms of this General Public License.
The “Program”, below, refers to any such program or work, and a “wor k based on the Program”
means either the Program or any derivative work under copyright law: that is to say, a work
containing the Program or a portion of it, either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated
into another language. (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in the term
“modification”.) Each licensee is addressed as “you”.
Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not covered by this License; they
are outside its scope. The act of running the Program is not restricted, and the output f r om the
Program is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the Program (independent of
having been made by running the Program). Whether that is true depends on what the Program
does.
1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program’s 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 give any other recipients of the Program a
copy of this License along with the Program.
Legal 62
Page 69
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 Program or any portion of it, thus forming a work
based on the Program, and copy and distribute such modifications or work under t he terms of
Section 1 above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions: a) You must cause the
modified files to carry prominent notices stating that you changed the files and the date of any
change. b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in whole or in part
contains or is derived from the Program or any part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no
charge to all third parties under the terms of this License. c) If the modified program normally
reads commands interactively when run, you must cause it, when started running for such
interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an announcement including an
appropriate copyright notice and a notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you
provide a warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under these conditions, and
telling the user how to view a copy of this License. (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive
but does not normally print such an announcement, your work based on the Program is not
required to print an announcement.)
These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If identifiable sections of t hat work
are not derived from the Program, 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 Program, the distribution of the whole m ust 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 r ights 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 Program.
In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program with the Program (or
with a work based on the Program) on a volume of a storage or distribution medium does not
bring the other work under the scope of this License.
3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it, under Section 2) in object
code or executable form under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above provided t hat you also do
one of the following: a) 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; or, b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at
least three years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your cost of physically
performing source distribution, a complete machine-readable copy of the corresponding source
code, to be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily
used for software interchange; or, c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the
offer to distribute corresponding source code. (This alternative is allowed only for
noncommercial distribution and only if you received the program in object code or executable
form with such an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.)
Legal 63
Page 70
The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for making modifications to it.
For an executable work, 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 executable. However, as a special exception, the source code
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.
If distribution of executable or 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 counts as
distribution of the source code, even though third parties are not compelled to copy the s our ce
along with the object code.
4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program except as expressly
provided under this License. Any attempt otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the
Program 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.
5. 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 Program or its derivative works. These
actions are prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by modifying or
distributing the Program (or any work based on the Program), you indicate your acceptance of
this License to do so, and all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying the
Program or works based on it.
6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the Program), the recipient
automatically receives a license from the original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the
Program subject to these terms and conditions. You may not impose any fur t her restrictions on
the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein. You are not responsible for enforcing
compliance by third parties to this License.
7. 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 or der,
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 Program at all. For example, if a patent license would not permit royaltyfree redistribution of the Program 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 Program.
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.
Legal 64
Page 71
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 pr otecting
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 s oftware
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 ot her s ystem 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.
8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in certain countries either by patents
or by copyrighted interfaces, the original copyright holder who places the Program under t his
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.
9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of the 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 Program 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 vers ion published by the
Free Software Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number of this License,
you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software Foundation.
10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free programs whose distribution
conditions are different, 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 shar ing and reuse of
software generally.
NO WARRANTY
11. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO
WARRANTY FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.
EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR
OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE PROGRAM “AS IS” WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND,
EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, I NCL UDING, 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 PROGRAM IS
WITH YOU. SHOULD THE PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF
ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
Legal 65
Page 72
12. 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 PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR
DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, I NCIDENT AL OR CONSEQUENTIAL
DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM
(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 PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER
OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs
If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of t he greatest possible use to the public,
the best way to achieve this is to make it free softwar e which everyone can redistribute and
change under these terms.
To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It is safest to attach them to the start of
each source file to most effectively convey the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have
at least the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.
<one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.>
Copyright (C) <year> <name of author>
This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the terms of the

the License, or (at your option) any later version.
This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY;
without even the implied warranty of MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR

You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License along with this program; if
not, write to the Free Software Foundation, Inc., 51 Franklin St, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA
02110-1301 USA
Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.
If the program is interactive, make it output a short notice like this when it starts in an interactive
mode:

‘show w’ and ‘show c’; they could even be mouse-clicks or menu items--whatever suits your
program.
You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or your school, if any, to sign
a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if necessary. Here is a sample; alter the names:
Yoyodyne, Inc., hereby disclaims all copyright interest in the program ‘Gnomovision’ (which
makes passes at compilers) written by James Hacker.

Ty Coon, President of Vice
This General Public License does not permit incorporating your program into proprietary
programs. If your program is a subroutine library, you may consider it more useful to permit
linking proprietary applications with the library. If this is what you want to do, use the GNU
Library General Public License instead of this License.
GNU General Public License (Version 3)
Version 3, 29 June 2007
Copyright © 2007 Free Software Foundation, Inc. <http://fsf.org/>
Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this license document, but
changing it is not allowed.
Preamble
The GNU General Public License is a free, copyleft license for software and other kinds of
works.
The licenses for most software and other practical works are designed to take away your
freedom to share and change the works. By contrast, the GNU General Public License is
intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change all versions of a pr og r am--to mak e
sure it remains free software for all its users. We, the Free Software Foundation, use the GNU
General Public License for most of our software; it applies also to any other work released this
way by its authors. You can apply it to your programs, too.
When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, 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 them if you wish), that you receive source code or can g et it if you want
it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it in new fr ee programs, and that you know
you can do these things.
Legal 67
Page 74
To protect your rights, we need to prevent others from denying you these rights or asking you to
surrender the rights. Therefore, you have certain responsibilities if you distribute copies of the
software, or if you modify it: responsibilities to respect the freedom of others.
For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether gratis or for a f ee, you must
pass on to the recipients the same freedoms that you received. You must mak e sure that they,
too, receive or can get the source code. And you must show them t hes e terms so they know
their rights.
Developers that use the GNU GPL protect your rights with two steps: (1) assert copyright on t he
software, and (2) offer you this License giving you legal permission to copy, distribute and/or
modify it.
For the developers' and authors' protection, the GPL clearly explains that there is no war ranty
for this free software. For both users' and authors' sake, the GPL requires that modified versions
be marked as changed, so that their problems will not be attributed erroneously to authors of
previous versions.
Some devices are designed to deny users access to install or run modified versions of the
software inside them, although the manufacturer can do so. This is fundamentally incompatible
with the aim of protecting users' freedom to change the software. The systematic pattern of s uch
abuse occurs in the area of products for individuals to use, which is precisely where it is most
unacceptable. Therefore, we have designed this version of the GPL to prohibit the practice for
those products. If such problems arise substantially in other domains, we stand ready to extend
this provision to those domains in future versions of the GPL, as needed to protect the freedom
of users.
Finally, every program is threatened constantly by software patents. States should not allow
patents to restrict development and use of software on general-purpose computers, but in those
that do, we wish to avoid the special danger that patents applied to a free pr ogr am could make it
effectively proprietary. To prevent this, the GPL assures that patents cannot be used to render
the program non-free.
The pr ecise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and modification follow.
TERMS AND CONDITIONS
0. Definitions
“This License” refers to version 3 of the GNU General Public License.
“Copyright” also means copyright-like laws that apply to other kinds of works, such as
semiconductor masks.
“The Program” refers to any copyrightable work licensed under this License. Each licensee is
addressed as “you”. “Licensees” and “recipients” may be individuals or organizations.
Legal 68
Page 75
To “modify” a work means to copy from or adapt all or part of the work in a fashion requiring
copyright permission, other than the making of an exact copy. The resulting wor k is c alled a
“modified version” of the earlier work or a work “based on” the earlier wor k.
A “covered work” means either the unmodified Program or a work based on the Program.
To “propagate” a work means to do anything with it that, without permission, would m ak e you
directly or secondarily liable for infringement under applicable copyright law, except executing it
on a computer or modifying a private copy. Propagation includes copying, distribution (with or
without modification), making available to the public, and in some countries other activities as
well.
To “convey” a work means any kind of propagation that enables other parties to make or receive
copies. Mere interaction with a user through a computer network, with no transfer of a c opy, is
not conveying.
An interactive user interface displays “Appropriate Legal Notices” to the extent that it includes a
convenient and prominently visible feature that (1) displays an appropriate copyright notice, and
(2) tells the user that there is no warranty for the wor k (except to the extent that warranties are
provided), that licensees may convey the work under this License, and how to view a copy of
this License. If the interface presents a list of user commands or options, such as a menu, a
prominent item in the list meets this criterion.
1. Source Code.
The “source code” for a work means the preferred form of the work for making modifications to
it. “Object code” means any non-source form of a work.
A “Standard Interface” means an interface that either is an official standard defined by a
recognized standards body, or, in the case of interfaces specified for a particular programming
language, one that is widely used among developers working in that language.
The “System Libraries” of an executable work include anything, other than the work as a whole,
that (a) is included in the normal form of packaging a Major Component, but which is not part of
that Major Component, and (b) serves only to enable use of the work with that Major
Component, or to implement a Standard Interface for which an implementation is available to
the public in source code form. A “Major Component”, in this context, means a m aj or essent ial
component (kernel, window system, and so on) of the specific operating system (if any) on
which the executable work runs, or a compiler used to produce the wor k , or an object code
interpreter used to run it.
The “Corresponding Source” for a work in object code form means all the source code needed
to generate, install, and (for an executable work) run the object code and to modify the work,
including scripts to control those activities. However, it does not include the wor k's System
Libraries, or general-purpose tools or generally available free programs which are used
unmodified in performing those activities but which are not part of the work. For example,
Corresponding Source includes interface definition files associated with source files for the
Legal 69
Page 76
work, and the source code for shared libraries and dynamically linked subprograms that the
work is specifically designed to require, such as by intimate data communication or control flow
between those subprograms and other parts of the work.
The Corresponding Source need not include anything that users can regenerate automatically
from other parts of the Corresponding Source.
The Corresponding Source for a work in source code form is that same work.
2. Basic Permissions.
All rights granted under this License are granted for the term of copyright on the Program, and
are irrevocable provided the stated conditions are met. This License explicitly affirms your
unlimited permission to run the unmodified Program. The output from running a covered work is
covered by this License only if the output, given its content, constitutes a covered work. This
License acknowledges your rights of fair use or other equivalent, as provided by copyright law.
You may make, run and propagate covered works that you do not convey, without conditions so
long as your license otherwise remains in force. You may convey covered wor ks to others for
the sole purpose of having them make modifications exclusively for you, or provide you with
facilities for running those works, provided that you comply with the terms of this License in
conveying all material for which you do not control copyright. Those thus making or running the
covered works for you must do so exclusively on your behalf, under your direction and control,
on terms that prohibit them from making any copies of your copyrighted material outside their
relationship with you.
Conveying under any other circumstances is permitted solely under the conditions stated below.
Sublicensing is not allowed; section 10 makes it unnecessary.
3. Protecting Users' Legal Rights From Anti-Circumvention Law.
No covered work shall be deemed part of an effective technological measure under any
applicable law fulfilling obligations under article 11 of the WIPO copyright treaty adopted on 20
December 1996, or similar laws prohibiting or restricting circumvention of such measures.
When you convey a covered work, you waive any legal power to forbid circumvention of
technological measures to the extent such circumvention is effected by exercising rights under
this License with respect to the covered work, and you disclaim any intention to limit operation
or modification of the work as a means of enforcing, against the work's users, your or third
parties' legal rights to forbid circumvention of technological measures.
4. Conveying Verbatim Copies.
You may convey verbatim copies of the Program's source code as you r eceive it, in any
medium, provided that you conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an
appropriate copyright notice; keep intact all notices stating that this License and any nonpermissive terms added in accord with section 7 apply to the code; keep intac t all notices of the
absence of any warranty; and give all recipients a copy of this License along with the Pr ogram.
Legal 70
Page 77
You may charge any price or no price for each copy that you convey, and you may offer support
or warranty protection for a fee.
5. Conveying Modified Source Versions.
You may convey a work based on the Program, or the modifications to produce it from the
Program, in the form of source code under the terms of section 4, provided that you also meet
all of these conditions:
a) The work must carry prominent notices stating that you modified it, and giving a relevant
date.
b) The work must carry prominent notices stating that it is released under this License and any
conditions added under section 7. This requirement modifies the requirement in section 4 to
“keep intact all notices”.
c) You must license the entire work, as a whole, under this License to anyone who comes into
possession of a copy. This License will therefore apply, along with any applicable section 7
additional terms, to the whole of the work, and all its parts, regardless of how they are
packaged. This License gives no permission to license the work in any other way, but it does
not invalidate such permission if you have separately received it.
d) If the work has interactive user interfaces, each must display Appropriate Legal Notices;
however, if the Program has interactive interfaces that do not display Appropriate Legal Notices,
your work need not make them do so.
A compilation of a covered work with other separate and independent works, which are not by
their nature extensions of the covered work, and which are not combined with it such as to form
a larger program, in or on a volume of a storage or distribution medium, is c alled an “aggregate”
if the compilation and its resulting copyright are not used to limit the access or legal rights of the
compilation's users beyond what the individual works permit. Inclusion of a covered work in an
aggregate does not cause this License to apply to the other parts of t he aggregat e.
6. Conveying Non-Source Forms.
You may convey a covered work in object code form under the terms of sections 4 and 5,
provided that you also convey the machine-readable Corresponding Source under the terms of
this License, in one of these ways:
a) Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product (including a phys ical
distribution medium), accompanied by the Corresponding Source fixed on a durable physical
medium customarily used for software interchange.
b) Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product (including a physical
distribution medium), accompanied by a written offer, valid for at least three years and valid for
as long as you offer spare parts or customer support for that product model, to give anyone who
Legal 71
Page 78
possesses the object code either (1) a copy of the Corresponding Source for all the software in
the product that is covered by this License, on a durable physical medium customarily used for
software interchange, for a price no more than your reasonable cost of physically performing
this conveying of source, or (2) access to copy the Corresponding Source from a network server
at no charge.
c) Convey individual copies of the object code with a copy of the written offer to provide the
Corresponding Source. This alternative is allowed only occasionally and noncommercially, and
only if you received the object code with such an of fer, in accord with subsection 6b.
d) Convey the object code by offering access from a designated place (gratis or for a charge),
and offer equivalent access to the Corresponding Source in the same way through the same
place at no further charge. You need not require recipients to copy the Corresponding Source
along with the object code. If the place to copy the object code is a network server, the
Corresponding Source may be on a different server (operated by you or a third party) that
supports equivalent copying facilities, provided you maintain clear directions next to the object
code saying where to find the Corresponding Source. Regardless of what server hosts the
Corresponding Source, you remain obligated to ensure that it is available for as long as needed
to satisfy these requirements.
e) Convey the object code using peer-to-peer transmission, provided you inform other peers
where the object code and Corresponding Source of the work are being offered to the general
public at no charge under subsection 6d.
A separable portion of the object code, whose source code is excluded from the Corresponding
Source as a System Library, need not be included in conveying the object code work.
A “User Product” is either (1) a “consumer product”, which means any tangible personal
property which is normally used for personal, family, or household purposes, or (2) anything
designed or sold for incorporation into a dwelling. In determining whether a product is a
consumer product, doubtful cases shall be resolved in favor of coverage. For a particular
product received by a particular user, “normally used” refers to a typical or common use of that
class of product, regardless of the status of the particular user or of the way in which the
particular user actually uses, or expects or is expected to use, the product. A product is a
consumer product regardless of whether the product has substantial commercial, industrial or
non-consumer uses, unless such uses represent the only significant mode of use of t he product.
“Installation Information” for a User Product means any methods, procedures, authorization
keys, or other information required to install and execute modified versions of a covered work in
that User Product from a modified version of its Corresponding Source. The information must
suffice to ensure th at the continued functioning of the modified object code is in no case
prevented or interfered with solely because modification has been made.
If you convey an object code work under this section in, or with, or specifically for use in, a User
Product, and the conveying occurs as part of a transaction in which the right of possession and
use of the User Product is transferred to the recipient in perpetuity or for a fixed term
Legal 72
Page 79
(regardless of how the transaction is characterized), the Corresponding Source conveyed under
this section must be accompanied by the Installation Information. But this requirement does not
apply if neither you nor any third party retains the ability to install modified object code on the
User Product (for example, the work has been installed in ROM).
The requirement to provide Installation Information does not include a requirement to continue
to provide support service, warranty, or updates for a work that has been modified or installed
by the recipient, or for the User Product in which it has been modified or installed. Access to a
network may be denied when the modification itself materially and adversely affects the
operation of the network or violates the rules and protocols for communication across the
network.
Corresponding Source conveyed, and Installation Information provided, in accord with this
section must be in a format that is publicly documented (and with an implementation available to
the public in source code form), and must require no special password or key for unpacking,
reading or copying.
7. Additional Terms.
“Additional permissions” are terms that supplement the terms of this License by making
exceptions from one or more of its conditions. Additional permissions that are applicable to the
entire Program shall be treated as though they were included in this License, to the extent that
they are valid under applicable law. If additional permissions apply only to part of the Program,
that part may be used separately under those permissions, but the entire Program remains
governed by this License without regard to the additional permissions.
When you convey a copy of a covered work, you may at your option remove any additional
permissions from that copy, or from any part of it. (Additional permissions may be wr it ten to
requir e their own removal in certain cases when you modify the work.) You may place additional
permissions on material, added by you to a covered work, for which you have or can give
appropriate copyright permission.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, for material you add to a covered work, you
may (if authorized by the copyright holders of that material) supplement the terms of this
License with terms:
a) Disclaiming warranty or limiting liability differently from the terms of sections 15 and 16 of this
License; or
b) Requiring preservation of specified reasonable legal notices or author attributions in that
material or in the Appropriate Legal Notices displayed by works containing it; or
c) Prohibiting misrepresentation of the origin of that material, or requiring that modified versions
of such material be marked in reasonable ways as different from the original version; or
d) Limiting the use for publicity purposes of names of licensors or authors of the material; or
Legal 73
Page 80
e) Declining to grant rights under trademark law for use of some trade names, trademarks, or
service marks; or
f) Requiring indemnification of licensors and authors of that material by anyone who conveys the
material (or modified versions of it) with contractual assumptions of liability to the recipient, for
any liability that these contractual assumptions directly impose on those licensors and authors.
All other non-permissive additional terms are considered “further restrictions” within the meaning
of section 10. If the Program as you received it, or any part of it, contains a not ice stating that it
is governed by this License along with a term that is a further restriction, you may remove that
term. If a license document contains a further restriction but permits relicensing or conveying
under this License, you may add to a covered work material governed by the terms of that
license document, provided that the further restriction does not survive such relicensing or
conveying.
If you add terms to a covered work in accord with this section, you m ust place, in the relevant
source files, a statement of the additional terms that apply to those files, or a notice indicating
where to find the applicable terms.
Additional terms, permissive or non-permissive, may be stated in the form of a separately
written license, or stated as exceptions; the above requirements apply either way.
8. Termination.
You may not propagate or modify a covered work except as expressly provided under this
License. Any attempt otherwise to propagate or modify it is void, and will automatically terminate
your rights under this License (including any patent licenses granted under the third paragraph
of section 11).
However, if you cease all violation of this License, then your license from a particular copyright
holder is reinstated (a) provisionally, unless and until the copyright holder explicitly and finally
terminates your license, and (b) permanently, if the copyright holder fails to notify you of the
violation by some reasonable means prior to 60 days after the cessation.
Moreover, your license from a particular copyright holder is reinstated permanently if the
copyright holder notifies you of the violation by some reasonable means, this is the first time you
have received notice of violation of this License (for any work) from that copyright holder, and
you cure the violation prior to 30 days after your receipt of the notice.
Termination of your rights under this section does not terminate the licenses of parties who have
received copies or rights from you under this License. If your rights have been terminated and
not permanently reinstated, you do not qualify to receive new lic enses for the same material
under section 10.
9. Acceptance Not Required for Having Copies.
You are not required to accept this License in order to receive or run a c opy of the Program.
Ancillary propagation of a covered work occurring solely as a consequence of using peer-to-
Legal 74
Page 81
peer transmission to receive a copy likewise does not require acceptance. However, nothing
other than this License grants you permission to propagate or modify any cover ed work. These
actions infringe copyright if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by modifying or
propagating a covered work, you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so.
10. Automatic Licensing of Downstream Recipients.
Each time you convey a covered work, the recipient automatically receives a license from the
original licensors, to run, modify and propagate that work, subject to this License. You are not
responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties with this License.
An “entity transaction” is a transaction transferring control of an organization, or substantially all
assets of one, or subdividing an organization, or merging organizations. If propagation of a
covered work results from an entity transaction, each party to that transaction who receives a
copy of the work also receives whatever licenses to the work the party's predeces sor in inter est
had or could give under the previous paragraph, plus a right to possession of the Corresponding
Source of the work from the predecessor in interest, if the predecessor has it or can get it with
reasonable efforts.
You may not impose any further restrictions on the exercise of the rights granted or affirmed
under this License. For example, you may not impose a license fee, royalty, or other charge for
exercise of rights granted under this License, and you may not initiate litigation (including a
cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that any patent claim is infringed by making,
using, selling, offering for sale, or importing the Program or any portion of it.
11. Patents.
A “contributor” is a copyright holder who authorizes use under this License of the Program or a
work on which the Program is based. The work thus licensed is called t he contributor's
“contributor version”.
A contributor's “essential patent claims” are all patent claims owned or controlled by the
contributor, whether already acquired or hereafter acquired, that would be infringed by some
manner, permitted by this License, of making, using, or selling its contributor version, but do not
include claims that would be infringed only as a consequence of further modification of the
contributor version. For purposes of this definition, “control” includes the right to grant patent
sublicenses in a manner consistent with the requirements of this License.
Each contributor grants you a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free patent license under the
contributor's essential patent claims, to make, use, sell, offer for sale, import and otherwise run,
modify and propagate the contents of its contributor version.
In the following three paragraphs, a “patent license” is any express agreement or commitment,
however denominated, not to enforce a patent (such as an express permission to practice a
patent or covenant not to sue for patent infringement). To “grant” such a patent license to a
party means to make such an agreement or commitment not to enforce a patent against the
party.
Legal 75
Page 82
If you convey a covered work, knowingly relying on a patent license, and the Cor r esponding
Source of the work is not available for anyone to copy, free of charge and under the terms of
this License, through a publicly available network server or other readily accessible means, then
you must either (1) cause the Corresponding Source to be so available, or ( 2) arrange to
deprive yourself of the benefit of the patent license for this particular work, or (3) arrange, in a
manner consistent with the requirements of this License, to extend the patent license to
downstream recipients. “Knowingly relying” means you have actual knowledge that, but for the
patent license, your conveying the covered work in a country, or your recipient's use of the
covered work in a country, would infringe one or more identifiable patents in that country that
you have reason to believe are valid.
If, pursuant to or in connection with a single transaction or arrangement, you convey, or
propagate by procuring conveyance of, a covered work, and grant a patent license to som e of
the parties receiving the covered work authorizing them to use, propagate, modify or convey a
specific copy of the covered work, then the patent license you grant is automatically extended to
all recipients of the covered work and works based on it.
A patent license is “discriminatory” if it does not include within the scope of its coverage,
prohibits the exercise of, or is conditioned on the non-exercise of one or more of the rights that
are specifically granted under this License. You may not convey a covered wor k if you are a
party to an arrangement with a third party that is in the business of dist ributing software, under
which you make payment to the third party based on the extent of your activity of conveying the
work, and under which the third party grants, to any of the parties who would rec eive the
covered work from you, a discriminatory patent license (a) in connection with copies of the
covered work conveyed by you (or copies made from those copies), or (b) primarily for and in
connection with specific products or compilations that contain the covered work, unless you
entered into that arrangement, or that patent license was granted, prior to 28 March 2007.
Nothing in this License shall be construed as excluding or limiting any implied license or other
defenses to infringement that may otherwise be available to you under applicable patent law.
12. No Surrender of Others' Freedom.
If conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or otherwise) t hat
contradict the conditions of this License, they do not excuse you from the conditions of this
License. If you cannot convey a covered work so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations
under this License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you may not
convey it at all. For example, if you agree to terms that obligate you to c ollect a royalty for
further conveying from those to whom you convey the Program, the only way you could satisf y
both those terms and this License would be to refrain entirely from conveying the Program.
13. Use with the GNU Affero General Public License.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, you have permission to link or combine any
covered work with a work licensed under version 3 of the GNU Affero General Public License
into a single combined work, and to convey the resulting work. The terms of this License will
Legal 76
Page 83
continue to apply to the part which is the covered work, but the special requirements of the GNU
Affero General Public License, section 13, concerning interaction through a network will apply to
the combination as such.
14. Revised Versions of this License.
The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of the GNU 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 Program specifies that a certain
numbered version of the GNU General Public License “or any later version” applies to it, you
have the option of following the terms and conditions either of that numbered version or of any
later version published by the Free Software Foundation. If the Program does not specify a
version number of the GNU General Public License, you may choose any version ever
published by the Free Software Foundation.
If the Program specifies that a proxy can decide which future versions of the GNU G eneral
Public License can be used, that proxy's public statement of acceptance of a version
permanently authorizes you to choose that version for the Program.
Later license versions may give you additional or different permissions. However, no additional
obligations are imposed on any author or copyright holder as a result of your choosing to f ollow
a later version.
15. Disclaimer of Warranty.
THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY
APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT
HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE PROGRAM “AS IS” WITHOUT
WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT
LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILIT Y AND FITNESS FOR A
PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE
OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU
ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
16. Limitation of Liability.
IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING
WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MODIFIES AND/OR
CONVEYS THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES,
INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, I NCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES
ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRA M (INCLUDI NG 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 PROGRAM TO
OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY
HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
Legal 77
Page 84
17. Interpretation of Sections 15 and 16.
If the disclaimer of warranty and limitation of liability provided above cannot be given local legal
effect according to their terms, reviewing courts shall apply local law that most closely
approximates an absolute waiver of all civil liability in connection with the Program, unless a
warranty or assumption of liability accompanies a copy of the Program in return for a fee.
END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs
If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of t he greatest possible use to the public,
the best way to achieve this is to make it free software which everyone can redistribute and
change under these terms.
To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It is safest to attach them to the start of
each source file to most effectively state the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at
least the “copyright” line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.
<one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.>
Copyright (C) <year> <name of author>
This program is free software: you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the terms of
the GNU General Public License as published by the Free Software Foundation, either
version 3 of the License, or (at your option) any later version.
This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, but WITHOUT ANY
WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS
FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. See the GNU General Public License for more
details.
You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License along with this
program. If n ot, see <http://www.gnu.org/licenses/>.
Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.
If the program does terminal interaction, make it output a short notice like this when it starts in
an interactive mode:
<program> Copyright (C) <year> <name of author>
This program comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type `show w'.
This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it under certain conditions;
type `show c' for details.
Legal 78
Page 85
The hypothetical commands `show w' and `show c' should show the appropriate parts of the
General Public License. Of course, your program's commands might be different; for a GUI
interface, you would use an “about box”.
You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or school, if any, to sign a
“copyright disclaimer” for the program, if necessary. For more information on this, and how to
apply and follow the GNU GPL, see <http://www.gnu.org/licenses/>.
The GNU General Public License does not permit incorporating your program into proprietary
programs. If your program is a subroutine library, you may consider it more useful to permit
linking proprietary applications with the library. If this is what you want to do, use the GNU
Lesser General Public License instead of this License. But first, please read
<http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/why-not-lgpl.html>.

[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 dist r ibut e 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 fr ee programs; and
that you are informed that you can do these things.
Legal 79
Page 86
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 com plet e 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 r ight s.
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 prot ect 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, t he Lesser
license provides advantages in certain special circumstances.
For example, on rare occasions, there may be a special need to encourage the widest poss ible
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.
Legal 80
Page 87
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 m odif icat ion 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.
TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DIS TRIBUTION 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 der ivative
work under copyright law: that is to say, a work containing the Library or a por tion 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 wor k 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 publis h 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.
Legal 81
Page 88
You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and you m ay 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 t hat, 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 pur pose that is entirely welldefined independent of the application. Therefore, Subsection 2d requires that any applicationsupplied 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 t hat 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 r ights 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 t he 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 Licens e has
Legal 82
Page 89
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 desig nat ed 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 t he 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 wor k 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.
Legal 83
Page 90
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 dist r ibut ed
under Sections 1 and 2 above); and, if the work is an execut able link ed 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 t he 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 mor e than the cost
of performing this distribution.
d) If distribution of the work is made by offering access to copy from a desig nat ed 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 dat a
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 t he
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 dist r ibut e.
Legal 84
Page 91
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 t he 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 Lic ense 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 wor ks. 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 ot her
reason (not limited to patent issues), conditions are imposed on you (whether by court or der,
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 royaltyfree 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.
Legal 85
Page 92
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 pr otecting
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 s oftware
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 ot her s ystem 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 distr ibut ion
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.
Legal 86
Page 93
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 SOFTW ARE), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDE R OR OTHER PARTY
HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
GNU Lesser General Public License (Version 3)
Version 3, 29 June 2007
Copyright © 2007 Free Software Foundation, Inc. <http://fsf.org/>
Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this license document, but
changing it is not allowed.
This version of the GNU Lesser General Public License incorporates the terms and conditions
of version 3 of the GNU General Public License, supplemented by the additional permissions
listed below.
0. Additional Definitions.
As used herein, “this License” refers to version 3 of the GNU Lesser General Public License,
and the “GNU GPL” refers to version 3 of the GNU General Public License.
“The Library” refers to a covered work governed by this License, other than an Application or a
Combined Work as defined below.
An “Application” is any work that makes use of an interface provided by the Library, but which is
not otherwise based on the Library. Defining a subclass of a class defined by the Library is
deemed a mode of using an interface provided by the Library.
A “Combined Work” is a work produced by combining or linking an Application with the Library.
The particular version of the Library with which the Combined Work was made is also called the
“Linked Version”.
The “Minimal Corresponding Source” for a Combined Work means the Corresponding Source
for the Combined Work, excluding any source code for portions of the Combined Work that,
considered in isolation, are based on the Application, and not on the Linked Version.
The “Corresponding Application Code” for a Combined Work means the object code and/or
source code for the Application, including any data and utility programs needed for reproducing
Legal 87
Page 94
the Combined Work from the Application, but excluding the System Libraries of the Combined
Work.
1. Exception to Section 3 of the GNU GPL.
You may convey a covered work under sections 3 and 4 of this License without being bound by
section 3 of the GNU GPL.
2. Conveying Modified Versions.
If you modify a copy of the Library, and, in your modifications, a facility refers to a function or
data to be supplied by an Application that uses the facility (other than as an arg ument passed
when the facility is invoked), then you may convey a copy of the modified version:
a) under this License, provided that you make a good faith effort to ensure that, in the event an
Application does not supply the function or data, the facility still operates, and performs
whatever part of its purpose remains meaningful, or
b) under the GNU GPL, with none of the additional permissions of this License applicable to that
copy.
3. Object Code Incorporating Material from Library Header Files.
The object code form of an Application may incorporate material from a header file that is par t of
the Library. You may convey such object code under terms of your choice, provided that, if the
incorporated material is not limited to numerical parameters, data structure layouts and
accessors, or small macros, inline functions and templates (ten or fewer lines in length), you do
both of the following:
a) Give prominent notice with each copy of the object code that the Library is used in it and that
the Library and its use are covered by this License.
b) Accompany the object code with a copy of the GNU GPL and t his license document.
4. Combined Works.
You may convey a Combined Work under terms of your choice that, taken together, effectively
do not restrict modification of the portions of the Library contained in the Combined Work and
reverse engineering for debugging such modifications, if you also do each of the following:
a) Give prominent notice with each copy of the Combined Work that the Library is used in it and
that the Library and its use are covered by this License.
b) Accompany the Combined Work with a copy of the GNU GPL and this license document.
c) For a Combined Work that displays copyright notices during execution, include the copyright
notice for the Library among these notices, as well as a reference directing the user to the
copies of the GNU GPL and this license document.
Legal 88
Page 95
d) Do one of the following:
0) Convey the Minimal Corresponding Source under the terms of this License, and the
Corresponding Application Code in a form suitable for, and under terms that permit, the user to
recombine or relink the Application with a modified version of the Linked Version to produce a
modified Combined Work, in the manner specified by section 6 of the GNU GPL for conveying
Corresponding Source.
1) Use a suitable shared library mechanism for linking with the Library. A suitable
mechanism is one that (a) uses at run time a copy of the Library already present on the user's
computer system, and (b) will operate properly with a modified version of the Library that is
interface-compatible with the Linked Version.
e) Provide Installation Information, but only if you would otherwise be required to provide such
information under section 6 of the GNU GPL, and only to t he extent that such information is
necessary to install and execute a modified version of the Combined Work produced by
recombining or relinking the Application with a modified version of the Linked Version. (If you
use option 4d0, the Installation Information must accompany the Minimal Corresponding Source
and Corresponding Application Code. If you use option 4d1, you must provide the Installation
Information in the manner specified by section 6 of the GNU GPL for conveying Corresponding
Source.)
5. Combined Libraries.
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 that are not Applications and are not covered by this
License, and convey such a combined library under terms of your choice, if you do both of the
following:
a) Accompany the combined library with a copy of the same work based on t he Library,
uncombined with any other library facilities, conveyed under the terms of this License.
b) Give prominent notice with the combined library that part of it is a work based on the Library,
and explaining where to find the accompanying uncombined form of the same work.
6. Revised Versions of the GNU Lesser General Public License.
The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of the GNU 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 as you received it specifies
that a certain numbered version of the GNU Lesser General Public License “or any later
version” applies to it, you have the option of following the terms and conditions either of that
published version or of any later version published by the Free Software Foundation. If the
Library as you received it does not specify a version number of the G NU Lesser General Public
Legal 89
Page 96
License, you may choose any version of the GNU Lesser General Public License ever
published by the Free Software Foundation.
If the Library as you received it specifies that a proxy can decide whet her future versions of the
GNU Lesser General Public License shall apply, that proxy's public statement of acceptance of
any version is permanent authorization for you to choose that version for the Library.
