t he Library wit h t he Library ( or wit h a work based on t he Library) on a volum e of a st orage or
dist ribut ion m edium does not bring t he ot her work under t he scope of t his License.
3. You m ay opt t o apply t he t erm s of t he ordinary GNU General Public License inst ead of t his
License t o a given copy of t he Library. To do t his, you m ust alt er all t he not ices t hat refer t o t his
License, so t hat t hey refer t o t he ordinary GNU General Public License, version 2, inst ead of t o t his
License. ( I f a newer version t han version 2 of t he ordinary GNU General Public License has
appeared, t hen you can specify t hat version inst ead if you wish.) Do not m ake any ot her change in
t hese not ices. Once t his change is m ade in a given copy, it is irreversible for t hat copy, so t he
ordinary GNU General Public License applies t o all subsequent copies and derivat ive works m ade
from t hat copy. This opt ion is useful when you wish t o copy part of t he code of t he Library int o a
program t hat is not a library.
4. You m ay copy and dist ribut e t he Library ( or a port ion or derivat ive of it , under Sect ion 2) in
obj ect code or execut able form under t he t erm s of Sect ions 1 and 2 above provided t hat you
accom pany it wit h t he com plet e corresponding m achine- readable source code, which m ust be
dist ribut ed under t he t erm s of Sect ions 1 and 2 above on a m edium cust om arily used for soft ware
int erchange. I f dist ribut ion of obj ect code is m ade by offering access t o copy from a designat ed
place, t hen offering equivalent access t o copy t he source code from t he sam e place sat isfies t he
requirem ent t o dist ribut e t he source code, even t hough t hird part ies are not
com pelled t o copy t he source along wit h t he obj ect code.
5. A program t hat cont ains no derivat ive of any port ion of t he Library, but is designed t o work wit h
t he Library by being com piled or linked wit h it , is called a " work t hat uses t he Library" . Such a work,
in isolat ion, is not a derivat ive work of t he Library, and t herefore falls out side t he scope of t his
License.
However, linking a " work t hat uses t he Library" wit h t he Library creat es an execut able t hat is a
derivat ive of t he Library ( because it cont ains port ions of t he Library) , rat her t han a " work t hat uses
t he library" . The execut able is t herefore covered by t his License. Sect ion 6 st at es t erm s for
dist ribut ion of such execut ables. When a " work t hat uses t he Library" uses m at erial from a header
file t hat is part of t he Library, t he obj ect code for t he work m ay be a derivat ive work of t he Library
even t hough t he source code is not . Whet her t his is t rue is especially significant if t he work can be
linked wit hout t he Library, or if t he work is it self a library. The t hreshold for t his t o be t rue is not
precisely defined by law. I f such an obj ect file uses only num erical param et ers, dat a st ruct ure
layout s and accessors, and sm all m acros and sm all inline funct ions ( t en lines or less in lengt h) ,
t hen t he use of t he obj ect file is unrest rict ed, regardless of whet her it is legally a derivat ive work.
( Execut ables cont aining t his obj ect code plus port ions of t he Library will st ill fall under Sect ion 6.)
Ot herwise, if t he work is a derivat ive of t he Library, you m ay dist ribut e t he obj ect code for t he work
under t he t erm s of Sect ion 6. Any execut ables cont aining t hat work also fall under Sect ion 6,
whet her or not t hey are linked direct ly wit h t he Library it self.
6. As an except ion t o t he Sect ions above, you m ay also com bine or link a " work t hat uses t he
Library" wit h t he Library t o produce a work cont aining port ions of t he Library, and dist ribut e t hat
work under t erm s of your choice, provided t hat t he t erm s perm it m odificat ion of t he work for t he
cust om er's own use and reverse engineering for debugging such m odificat ions. You m ust give
prom inent not ice wit h each copy of t he work t hat t he Library is used in it and t hat t he Library and
it s use are covered by t his License. You m ust supply a copy of t his License. I f t he work during
execut ion displays copyright not ices, you m ust include t he copyright not ice for t he Library am ong
t hem , as well as a reference direct ing t he user t o t he copy of t his License. Also, you m ust do one of
