Allow LGPL. Add licenses explicitly. I'm no lawyer, hopefully this is enough.
Nobody will make money on ParmEd, anyway.

GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
3+
Version 3, 29 June 2007
4+
5+
Copyright (C) 2007 Free Software Foundation, Inc. <http://fsf.org/>
6+
Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
7+
of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
8+
9+
Preamble
10+
11+
The GNU General Public License is a free, copyleft license for
12+
software and other kinds of works.
13+
14+
The licenses for most software and other practical works are designed
15+
to take away your freedom to share and change the works. By contrast,
16+
the GNU General Public License is intended to guarantee your freedom to
17+
share and change all versions of a program--to make sure it remains free
18+
software for all its users. We, the Free Software Foundation, use the
19+
GNU General Public License for most of our software; it applies also to
20+
any other work released this way by its authors. You can apply it to
21+
your programs, too.
22+
23+
When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not
24+
price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you
25+
have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for
26+
them if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it if you
27+
want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it in new
28+
free programs, and that you know you can do these things.
29+
30+
To protect your rights, we need to prevent others from denying you
31+
these rights or asking you to surrender the rights. Therefore, you have
32+
certain responsibilities if you distribute copies of the software, or if
33+
you modify it: responsibilities to respect the freedom of others.
34+
35+
For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether
36+
gratis or for a fee, you must pass on to the recipients the same
37+
freedoms that you received. You must make sure that they, too, receive
38+
or can get the source code. And you must show them these terms so they
39+
know their rights.
40+
41+
Developers that use the GNU GPL protect your rights with two steps:
42+
(1) assert copyright on the software, and (2) offer you this License
43+
giving you legal permission to copy, distribute and/or modify it.
44+
45+
For the developers' and authors' protection, the GPL clearly explains
46+
that there is no warranty for this free software. For both users' and
47+
authors' sake, the GPL requires that modified versions be marked as
48+
changed, so that their problems will not be attributed erroneously to
49+
authors of previous versions.
50+
51+
Some devices are designed to deny users access to install or run
52+
modified versions of the software inside them, although the manufacturer
53+
can do so. This is fundamentally incompatible with the aim of
54+
protecting users' freedom to change the software. The systematic
55+
pattern of such abuse occurs in the area of products for individuals to
56+
use, which is precisely where it is most unacceptable. Therefore, we
57+
have designed this version of the GPL to prohibit the practice for those
58+
products. If such problems arise substantially in other domains, we
59+
stand ready to extend this provision to those domains in future versions
60+
of the GPL, as needed to protect the freedom of users.
61+
62+
Finally, every program is threatened constantly by software patents.
63+
States should not allow patents to restrict development and use of
64+
software on general-purpose computers, but in those that do, we wish to
65+
avoid the special danger that patents applied to a free program could
66+
make it effectively proprietary. To prevent this, the GPL assures that
67+
patents cannot be used to render the program non-free.
68+
69+
The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
70+
modification follow.
71+
72+
TERMS AND CONDITIONS
73+
74+
0. Definitions.
75+
76+
"This License" refers to version 3 of the GNU General Public License.
77+
78+
"Copyright" also means copyright-like laws that apply to other kinds of
79+
works, such as semiconductor masks.
80+
81+
"The Program" refers to any copyrightable work licensed under this
82+
License. Each licensee is addressed as "you". "Licensees" and
83+
"recipients" may be individuals or organizations.
84+
85+
To "modify" a work means to copy from or adapt all or part of the work
86+
in a fashion requiring copyright permission, other than the making of an
87+
exact copy. The resulting work is called a "modified version" of the
88+
earlier work or a work "based on" the earlier work.
89+
90+
A "covered work" means either the unmodified Program or a work based
91+
on the Program.
92+
93+
To "propagate" a work means to do anything with it that, without
94+
permission, would make you directly or secondarily liable for
95+
infringement under applicable copyright law, except executing it on a
96+
computer or modifying a private copy. Propagation includes copying,
97+
distribution (with or without modification), making available to the
98+
public, and in some countries other activities as well.
99+
100+
To "convey" a work means any kind of propagation that enables other
101+
parties to make or receive copies. Mere interaction with a user through
102+
a computer network, with no transfer of a copy, is not conveying.
103+
104+
An interactive user interface displays "Appropriate Legal Notices"
105+
to the extent that it includes a convenient and prominently visible
106+
feature that (1) displays an appropriate copyright notice, and (2)
107+
tells the user that there is no warranty for the work (except to the
108+
extent that warranties are provided), that licensees may convey the
109+
work under this License, and how to view a copy of this License. If
110+
the interface presents a list of user commands or options, such as a
111+
menu, a prominent item in the list meets this criterion.
112+
113+
1. Source Code.
114+
115+
The "source code" for a work means the preferred form of the work
116+
for making modifications to it. "Object code" means any non-source
117+
form of a work.
118+
119+
A "Standard Interface" means an interface that either is an official
120+
standard defined by a recognized standards body, or, in the case of
121+
interfaces specified for a particular programming language, one that
122+
is widely used among developers working in that language.
123+
124+
The "System Libraries" of an executable work include anything, other
125+
than the work as a whole, that (a) is included in the normal form of
126+
packaging a Major Component, but which is not part of that Major
127+
Component, and (b) serves only to enable use of the work with that
128+
Major Component, or to implement a Standard Interface for which an
129+
implementation is available to the public in source code form. A
130+
"Major Component", in this context, means a major essential component
131+
(kernel, window system, and so on) of the specific operating system
132+
(if any) on which the executable work runs, or a compiler used to
133+
produce the work, or an object code interpreter used to run it.
134+
135+
The "Corresponding Source" for a work in object code form means all
136+
the source code needed to generate, install, and (for an executable
137+
work) run the object code and to modify the work, including scripts to
138+
control those activities. However, it does not include the work's
139+
System Libraries, or general-purpose tools or generally available free
140+
programs which are used unmodified in performing those activities but
141+
which are not part of the work. For example, Corresponding Source
142+
includes interface definition files associated with source files for
143+
the work, and the source code for shared libraries and dynamically
144+
linked subprograms that the work is specifically designed to require,
145+
such as by intimate data communication or control flow between those
146+
subprograms and other parts of the work.
147+
148+
The Corresponding Source need not include anything that users
149+
can regenerate automatically from other parts of the Corresponding
150+
Source.
151+
152+
The Corresponding Source for a work in source code form is that
153+
same work.
154+
155+
2. Basic Permissions.
156+
157+
All rights granted under this License are granted for the term of
158+
copyright on the Program, and are irrevocable provided the stated
159+
conditions are met. This License explicitly affirms your unlimited
160+
permission to run the unmodified Program. The output from running a
161+
covered work is covered by this License only if the output, given its
162+
content, constitutes a covered work. This License acknowledges your
163+
rights of fair use or other equivalent, as provided by copyright law.
164+
165+
You may make, run and propagate covered works that you do not
166+
convey, without conditions so long as your license otherwise remains
167+
in force. You may convey covered works to others for the sole purpose
168+
of having them make modifications exclusively for you, or provide you
169+
with facilities for running those works, provided that you comply with
170+
the terms of this License in conveying all material for which you do
171+
not control copyright. Those thus making or running the covered works
172+
for you must do so exclusively on your behalf, under your direction
173+
and control, on terms that prohibit them from making any copies of
174+
your copyrighted material outside their relationship with you.
175+
176+
Conveying under any other circumstances is permitted solely under
177+
the conditions stated below. Sublicensing is not allowed; section 10
178+
makes it unnecessary.
179+
180+
3. Protecting Users' Legal Rights From Anti-Circumvention Law.
181+
182+
No covered work shall be deemed part of an effective technological
183+
measure under any applicable law fulfilling obligations under article
184+
11 of the WIPO copyright treaty adopted on 20 December 1996, or
185+
similar laws prohibiting or restricting circumvention of such
186+
measures.
187+
188+
When you convey a covered work, you waive any legal power to forbid
189+
circumvention of technological measures to the extent such circumvention
190+
is effected by exercising rights under this License with respect to
191+
the covered work, and you disclaim any intention to limit operation or
192+
modification of the work as a means of enforcing, against the work's
193+
users, your or third parties' legal rights to forbid circumvention of
194+
technological measures.
195+
196+
4. Conveying Verbatim Copies.
197+
198+
You may convey verbatim copies of the Program's source code as you
199+
receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and
200+
appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice;
201+
keep intact all notices stating that this License and any
202+
non-permissive terms added in accord with section 7 apply to the code;
203+
keep intact all notices of the absence of any warranty; and give all
204+
recipients a copy of this License along with the Program.
205+
206+
You may charge any price or no price for each copy that you convey,
207+
and you may offer support or warranty protection for a fee.
208+
209+
5. Conveying Modified Source Versions.
210+
211+
You may convey a work based on the Program, or the modifications to
212+
produce it from the Program, in the form of source code under the
213+
terms of section 4, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
214+
215+
a) The work must carry prominent notices stating that you modified
216+
it, and giving a relevant date.
217+
218+
b) The work must carry prominent notices stating that it is
219+
released under this License and any conditions added under section
220+
7. This requirement modifies the requirement in section 4 to
221+
"keep intact all notices".
222+
223+
c) You must license the entire work, as a whole, under this
224+
License to anyone who comes into possession of a copy. This
225+
License will therefore apply, along with any applicable section 7
226+
additional terms, to the whole of the work, and all its parts,
227+
regardless of how they are packaged. This License gives no
228+
permission to license the work in any other way, but it does not
229+
invalidate such permission if you have separately received it.
230+
231+
d) If the work has interactive user interfaces, each must display
232+
Appropriate Legal Notices; however, if the Program has interactive
233+
interfaces that do not display Appropriate Legal Notices, your
234+
work need not make them do so.
235+
236+
A compilation of a covered work with other separate and independent
237+
works, which are not by their nature extensions of the covered work,
238+
and which are not combined with it such as to form a larger program,
239+
in or on a volume of a storage or distribution medium, is called an
240+
"aggregate" if the compilation and its resulting copyright are not
241+
used to limit the access or legal rights of the compilation's users
242+
beyond what the individual works permit. Inclusion of a covered work
243+
in an aggregate does not cause this License to apply to the other
244+
parts of the aggregate.
245+
246+
6. Conveying Non-Source Forms.
247+
248+
You may convey a covered work in object code form under the terms
249+
of sections 4 and 5, provided that you also convey the
250+
machine-readable Corresponding Source under the terms of this License,
251+
in one of these ways:
252+
253+
a) Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product
254+
(including a physical distribution medium), accompanied by the
255+
Corresponding Source fixed on a durable physical medium
256+
customarily used for software interchange.
257+
258+
b) Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product
259+
(including a physical distribution medium), accompanied by a
260+
written offer, valid for at least three years and valid for as
261+
long as you offer spare parts or customer support for that product
262+
model, to give anyone who possesses the object code either (1) a
263+
copy of the Corresponding Source for all the software in the
264+
product that is covered by this License, on a durable physical
265+
medium customarily used for software interchange, for a price no
266+
more than your reasonable cost of physically performing this
267+
conveying of source, or (2) access to copy the
268+
Corresponding Source from a network server at no charge.
269+
270+
c) Convey individual copies of the object code with a copy of the
271+
written offer to provide the Corresponding Source. This
272+
alternative is allowed only occasionally and noncommercially, and
273+
only if you received the object code with such an offer, in accord
274+
with subsection 6b.
275+
276+
d) Convey the object code by offering access from a designated
277+
place (gratis or for a charge), and offer equivalent access to the
278+
Corresponding Source in the same way through the same place at no
279+
further charge. You need not require recipients to copy the
280+
Corresponding Source along with the object code. If the place to
281+
copy the object code is a network server, the Corresponding Source
282+
may be on a different server (operated by you or a third party)
283+
that supports equivalent copying facilities, provided you maintain
284+
clear directions next to the object code saying where to find the
285+
Corresponding Source. Regardless of what server hosts the
286+
Corresponding Source, you remain obligated to ensure that it is
287+
available for as long as needed to satisfy these requirements.
288+
289+
e) Convey the object code using peer-to-peer transmission, provided
290+
you inform other peers where the object code and Corresponding
291+
Source of the work are being offered to the general public at no
292+
charge under subsection 6d.
293+
294+
A separable portion of the object code, whose source code is excluded
295+
from the Corresponding Source as a System Library, need not be
296+
included in conveying the object code work.
297+
298+
A "User Product" is either (1) a "consumer product", which means any
299+
tangible personal property which is normally used for personal, family,
300+
or household purposes, or (2) anything designed or sold for incorporation
301+
into a dwelling. In determining whether a product is a consumer product,
302+
doubtful cases shall be resolved in favor of coverage. For a particular
303+
product received by a particular user, "normally used" refers to a
304+
typical or common use of that class of product, regardless of the status
305+
of the particular user or of the way in which the particular user
306+
actually uses, or expects or is expected to use, the product. A product
307+
is a consumer product regardless of whether the product has substantial
308+
commercial, industrial or non-consumer uses, unless such uses represent
309+
the only significant mode of use of the product.
310+
311+
"Installation Information" for a User Product means any methods,
312+
procedures, authorization keys, or other information required to install
313+
and execute modified versions of a covered work in that User Product from
314+
a modified version of its Corresponding Source. The information must
315+
suffice to ensure that the continued functioning of the modified object
316+
code is in no case prevented or interfered with solely because
317+
modification has been made.
318+
319+
If you convey an object code work under this section in, or with, or
320+
specifically for use in, a User Product, and the conveying occurs as
321+
part of a transaction in which the right of possession and use of the
322+
User Product is transferred to the recipient in perpetuity or for a
323+
fixed term (regardless of how the transaction is characterized), the
324+
Corresponding Source conveyed under this section must be accompanied
325+
by the Installation Information. But this requirement does not apply
326+
if neither you nor any third party retains the ability to install
327+
modified object code on the User Product (for example, the work has
328+
been installed in ROM).
329+
330+
The requirement to provide Installation Information does not include a
331+
requirement to continue to provide support service, warranty, or updates
332+
for a work that has been modified or installed by the recipient, or for
333+
the User Product in which it has been modified or installed. Access to a
334+
network may be denied when the modification itself materially and
335+
adversely affects the operation of the network or violates the rules and
336+
protocols for communication across the network.
337+
338+
Corresponding Source conveyed, and Installation Information provided,
339+
in accord with this section must be in a format that is publicly
340+
documented (and with an implementation available to the public in
341+
source code form), and must require no special password or key for
342+
unpacking, reading or copying.
343+
344+
7. Additional Terms.
345+
346+
"Additional permissions" are terms that supplement the terms of this
347+
License by making exceptions from one or more of its conditions.
348+
Additional permissions that are applicable to the entire Program shall
349+
be treated as though they were included in this License, to the extent
350+
that they are valid under applicable law. If additional permissions
351+
apply only to part of the Program, that part may be used separately
352+
under those permissions, but the entire Program remains governed by
353+
this License without regard to the additional permissions.
354+
355+
When you convey a copy of a covered work, you may at your option
356+
remove any additional permissions from that copy, or from any part of
357+
it. (Additional permissions may be written to require their own
358+
removal in certain cases when you modify the work.) You may place
359+
additional permissions on material, added by you to a covered work,
360+
for which you have or can give appropriate copyright permission.
361+
362+
Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, for material you
363+
add to a covered work, you may (if authorized by the copyright holders of
364+
that material) supplement the terms of this License with terms:
365+
366+
a) Disclaiming warranty or limiting liability differently from the
367+
terms of sections 15 and 16 of this License; or
368+
369+
b) Requiring preservation of specified reasonable legal notices or
370+
author attributions in that material or in the Appropriate Legal
371+
Notices displayed by works containing it; or
372+
373+
c) Prohibiting misrepresentation of the origin of that material, or
374+
requiring that modified versions of such material be marked in
375+
reasonable ways as different from the original version; or
376+
377+
d) Limiting the use for publicity purposes of names of licensors or
378+
authors of the material; or
379+
380+
e) Declining to grant rights under trademark law for use of some
381+
trade names, trademarks, or service marks; or
382+
383+
f) Requiring indemnification of licensors and authors of that
384+
material by anyone who conveys the material (or modified versions of
385+
it) with contractual assumptions of liability to the recipient, for
386+
any liability that these contractual assumptions directly impose on
387+
those licensors and authors.
388+
389+
All other non-permissive additional terms are considered "further
390+
restrictions" within the meaning of section 10. If the Program as you
391+
received it, or any part of it, contains a notice stating that it is
392+
governed by this License along with a term that is a further
393+
restriction, you may remove that term. If a license document contains
394+
a further restriction but permits relicensing or conveying under this
395+
License, you may add to a covered work material governed by the terms
396+
of that license document, provided that the further restriction does
397+
not survive such relicensing or conveying.
398+
399+
If you add terms to a covered work in accord with this section, you
400+
must place, in the relevant source files, a statement of the
401+
additional terms that apply to those files, or a notice indicating
402+
where to find the applicable terms.
403+
404+
Additional terms, permissive or non-permissive, may be stated in the
405+
form of a separately written license, or stated as exceptions;
406+
the above requirements apply either way.
407+
408+
8. Termination.
409+
410+
You may not propagate or modify a covered work except as expressly
411+
provided under this License. Any attempt otherwise to propagate or
412+
modify it is void, and will automatically terminate your rights under
413+
this License (including any patent licenses granted under the third
414+
paragraph of section 11).
415+
416+
However, if you cease all violation of this License, then your
417+
license from a particular copyright holder is reinstated (a)
418+
provisionally, unless and until the copyright holder explicitly and
419+
finally terminates your license, and (b) permanently, if the copyright
420+
holder fails to notify you of the violation by some reasonable means
421+
prior to 60 days after the cessation.
422+
423+
Moreover, your license from a particular copyright holder is
424+
reinstated permanently if the copyright holder notifies you of the
425+
violation by some reasonable means, this is the first time you have
426+
received notice of violation of this License (for any work) from that
427+
copyright holder, and you cure the violation prior to 30 days after
428+
your receipt of the notice.
429+
430+
Termination of your rights under this section does not terminate the
431+
licenses of parties who have received copies or rights from you under
432+
this License. If your rights have been terminated and not permanently
433+
reinstated, you do not qualify to receive new licenses for the same
434+
material under section 10.
435+
436+
9. Acceptance Not Required for Having Copies.
437+
438+
You are not required to accept this License in order to receive or
439+
run a copy of the Program. Ancillary propagation of a covered work
440+
occurring solely as a consequence of using peer-to-peer transmission
441+
to receive a copy likewise does not require acceptance. However,
442+
nothing other than this License grants you permission to propagate or
443+
modify any covered work. These actions infringe copyright if you do
444+
not accept this License. Therefore, by modifying or propagating a
445+
covered work, you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so.
446+
447+
10. Automatic Licensing of Downstream Recipients.
448+
449+
Each time you convey a covered work, the recipient automatically
450+
receives a license from the original licensors, to run, modify and
451+
propagate that work, subject to this License. You are not responsible
452+
for enforcing compliance by third parties with this License.
453+
454+
An "entity transaction" is a transaction transferring control of an
455+
organization, or substantially all assets of one, or subdividing an
456+
organization, or merging organizations. If propagation of a covered
457+
work results from an entity transaction, each party to that
458+
transaction who receives a copy of the work also receives whatever
459+
licenses to the work the party's predecessor in interest had or could
460+
give under the previous paragraph, plus a right to possession of the
461+
Corresponding Source of the work from the predecessor in interest, if
462+
the predecessor has it or can get it with reasonable efforts.
463+
464+
You may not impose any further restrictions on the exercise of the
465+
rights granted or affirmed under this License. For example, you may
466+
not impose a license fee, royalty, or other charge for exercise of
467+
rights granted under this License, and you may not initiate litigation
468+
(including a cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that
469+
any patent claim is infringed by making, using, selling, offering for
470+
sale, or importing the Program or any portion of it.
471+
472+
11. Patents.
473+
474+
A "contributor" is a copyright holder who authorizes use under this
475+
License of the Program or a work on which the Program is based. The
476+
work thus licensed is called the contributor's "contributor version".
477+
478+
A contributor's "essential patent claims" are all patent claims
479+
owned or controlled by the contributor, whether already acquired or
480+
hereafter acquired, that would be infringed by some manner, permitted
481+
by this License, of making, using, or selling its contributor version,
482+
but do not include claims that would be infringed only as a
483+
consequence of further modification of the contributor version. For
484+
purposes of this definition, "control" includes the right to grant
485+
patent sublicenses in a manner consistent with the requirements of
486+
this License.
487+
488+
Each contributor grants you a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free
489+
patent license under the contributor's essential patent claims, to
490+
make, use, sell, offer for sale, import and otherwise run, modify and
491+
propagate the contents of its contributor version.
492+
493+
In the following three paragraphs, a "patent license" is any express
494+
agreement or commitment, however denominated, not to enforce a patent
495+
(such as an express permission to practice a patent or covenant not to
496+
sue for patent infringement). To "grant" such a patent license to a
497+
party means to make such an agreement or commitment not to enforce a
498+
patent against the party.
499+
500+
If you convey a covered work, knowingly relying on a patent license,
501+
and the Corresponding Source of the work is not available for anyone
502+
to copy, free of charge and under the terms of this License, through a
503+
publicly available network server or other readily accessible means,
504+
then you must either (1) cause the Corresponding Source to be so
505+
available, or (2) arrange to deprive yourself of the benefit of the
506+
patent license for this particular work, or (3) arrange, in a manner
507+
consistent with the requirements of this License, to extend the patent
508+
license to downstream recipients. "Knowingly relying" means you have
509+
actual knowledge that, but for the patent license, your conveying the
510+
covered work in a country, or your recipient's use of the covered work
511+
in a country, would infringe one or more identifiable patents in that
512+
country that you have reason to believe are valid.
513+
514+
If, pursuant to or in connection with a single transaction or
515+
arrangement, you convey, or propagate by procuring conveyance of, a
516+
covered work, and grant a patent license to some of the parties
517+
receiving the covered work authorizing them to use, propagate, modify
518+
or convey a specific copy of the covered work, then the patent license
519+
you grant is automatically extended to all recipients of the covered
520+
work and works based on it.
521+
522+
A patent license is "discriminatory" if it does not include within
523+
the scope of its coverage, prohibits the exercise of, or is
524+
conditioned on the non-exercise of one or more of the rights that are
525+
specifically granted under this License. You may not convey a covered
526+
work if you are a party to an arrangement with a third party that is
527+
in the business of distributing software, under which you make payment
528+
to the third party based on the extent of your activity of conveying
529+
the work, and under which the third party grants, to any of the
530+
parties who would receive the covered work from you, a discriminatory
531+
patent license (a) in connection with copies of the covered work
532+
conveyed by you (or copies made from those copies), or (b) primarily
533+
for and in connection with specific products or compilations that
534+
contain the covered work, unless you entered into that arrangement,
535+
or that patent license was granted, prior to 28 March 2007.
536+
537+
Nothing in this License shall be construed as excluding or limiting
538+
any implied license or other defenses to infringement that may
539+
otherwise be available to you under applicable patent law.
540+
541+
12. No Surrender of Others' Freedom.
542+
543+
If conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
544+
otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
545+
excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot convey a
546+
covered work so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this
547+
License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you may
548+
not convey it at all. For example, if you agree to terms that obligate you
549+
to collect a royalty for further conveying from those to whom you convey
550+
the Program, the only way you could satisfy both those terms and this
551+
License would be to refrain entirely from conveying the Program.
552+
553+
13. Use with the GNU Affero General Public License.
554+
555+
Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, you have
556+
permission to link or combine any covered work with a work licensed
557+
under version 3 of the GNU Affero General Public License into a single
558+
combined work, and to convey the resulting work. The terms of this
559+
License will continue to apply to the part which is the covered work,
560+
but the special requirements of the GNU Affero General Public License,
561+
section 13, concerning interaction through a network will apply to the
562+
combination as such.
563+
564+
14. Revised Versions of this License.
565+
566+
The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of
567+
the GNU General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will
568+
be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to
569+
address new problems or concerns.
570+
571+
Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the
572+
Program specifies that a certain numbered version of the GNU General
573+
Public License "or any later version" applies to it, you have the
574+
option of following the terms and conditions either of that numbered
575+
version or of any later version published by the Free Software
576+
Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number of the
577+
GNU General Public License, you may choose any version ever published
578+
by the Free Software Foundation.
579+
580+
If the Program specifies that a proxy can decide which future
581+
versions of the GNU General Public License can be used, that proxy's
582+
public statement of acceptance of a version permanently authorizes you
583+
to choose that version for the Program.
584+
585+
Later license versions may give you additional or different
586+
permissions. However, no additional obligations are imposed on any
587+
author or copyright holder as a result of your choosing to follow a
588+
later version.
589+
590+
15. Disclaimer of Warranty.
591+
592+
THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY
593+
APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT
594+
HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY
595+
OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO,
596+
THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
597+
PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM
598+
IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF
599+
ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
600+
601+
16. Limitation of Liability.
602+
603+
IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING
604+
WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MODIFIES AND/OR CONVEYS
605+
THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY
606+
GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE
607+
USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF
608+
DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD
609+
PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER PROGRAMS),
610+
EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF
611+
SUCH DAMAGES.
612+
613+
17. Interpretation of Sections 15 and 16.
614+
615+
If the disclaimer of warranty and limitation of liability provided
616+
above cannot be given local legal effect according to their terms,
617+
reviewing courts shall apply local law that most closely approximates
618+
an absolute waiver of all civil liability in connection with the
619+
Program, unless a warranty or assumption of liability accompanies a
620+
copy of the Program in return for a fee.
621+
622+
END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
623+
624+
How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs
625+
626+
If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest
627+
possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it
628+
free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms.
629+
630+
To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It is safest
631+
to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively
632+
state the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least
633+
the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.
634+
635+
<one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.>
636+
Copyright (C) <year> <name of author>
637+
638+
This program is free software: you can redistribute it and/or modify
639+
it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by
640+
the Free Software Foundation, either version 3 of the License, or
641+
(at your option) any later version.
642+
643+
This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful,
644+
but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of
645+
MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. See the
646+
GNU General Public License for more details.
647+
648+
You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License
649+
along with this program. If not, see <http://www.gnu.org/licenses/>.
650+
651+
Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.
652+
653+
If the program does terminal interaction, make it output a short
654+
notice like this when it starts in an interactive mode:
655+
656+
<program> Copyright (C) <year> <name of author>
657+
This program comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type `show w'.
658+
This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it
659+
under certain conditions; type `show c' for details.
660+
661+
The hypothetical commands `show w' and `show c' should show the appropriate
662+
parts of the General Public License. Of course, your program's commands
663+
might be different; for a GUI interface, you would use an "about box".
664+
665+
You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or school,
666+
if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if necessary.
667+
For more information on this, and how to apply and follow the GNU GPL, see
668+
<http://www.gnu.org/licenses/>.
669+
670+
The GNU General Public License does not permit incorporating your program
671+
into proprietary programs. If your program is a subroutine library, you
672+
may consider it more useful to permit linking proprietary applications with
673+
the library. If this is what you want to do, use the GNU Lesser General
674+
Public License instead of this License. But first, please read
675+

GNU LESSER GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
2+
3+
Version 2.1, February 1999
4+
5+
Copyright (C) 1991, 1999 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
6+
51 Franklin Street, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA 02110-1301 USA
7+
Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
8+
of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
9+
10+
[This is the first released version of the Lesser GPL. It also counts
11+
as the successor of the GNU Library Public License, version 2, hence
12+
the version number 2.1.]
13+
14+
Preamble
15+
16+
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.
17+
18+
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.
19+
20+
When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom of use, not price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for this service if you wish); that you receive source code or can get it if you want it; that you can change the software and use pieces of it in new free programs; and that you are informed that you can do these things.
21+
22+
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.
23+
24+
For example, if you distribute copies of the library, whether gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that we gave you. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the source code. If you link other code with the library, you must provide complete object files to the recipients, so that they can relink them with the library after making changes to the library and recompiling it. And you must show them these terms so they know their rights.
25+
26+
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.
27+
28+
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.
29+
30+
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.
31+
32+
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.
33+
34+
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.
35+
36+
We call this license the "Lesser" General Public License because it does Less to protect the user's freedom than the ordinary General Public License. It also provides other free software developers Less of an advantage over competing non-free programs. These disadvantages are the reason we use the ordinary General Public License for many libraries. However, the Lesser license provides advantages in certain special circumstances.
37+
38+
For example, on rare occasions, there may be a special need to encourage the widest possible use of a certain library, so that it becomes a de-facto standard. To achieve this, non-free programs must be allowed to use the library. A more frequent case is that a free library does the same job as widely used non-free libraries. In this case, there is little to gain by limiting the free library to free software only, so we use the Lesser General Public License.
39+
40+
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.
41+
42+
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.
43+
44+
The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and modification follow. Pay close attention to the difference between a "work based on the library" and a "work that uses the library". The former contains code derived from the library, whereas the latter must be combined with the library in order to run.
45+
46+
TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION
47+
48+
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".
49+
50+
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.
51+
52+
The "Library", below, refers to any such software library or work which has been distributed under these terms. A "work based on the Library" means either the Library or any derivative work under copyright law: that is to say, a work containing the Library or a portion of it, either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated straightforwardly into another language. (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in the term "modification".)
53+
54+
"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.
55+
56+
Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of running a program using the Library is not restricted, and output from such a program is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the Library (independent of the use of the Library in a tool for writing it). Whether that is true depends on what the Library does and what the program that uses the Library does.
57+
58+
1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Library's complete source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty; and distribute a copy of this License along with the Library.
59+
60+
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.
61+
62+
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:
63+
64+
* a) The modified work must itself be a software library.
65+
* b) You must cause the files modified to carry prominent notices stating that you changed the files and the date of any change.
66+
* 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.
67+
* d) If a facility in the modified Library refers to a function or a table of data to be supplied by an application program that uses the facility, other than as an argument passed when the facility is invoked, then you must make a good faith effort to ensure that, in the event an application does not supply such function or table, the facility still operates, and performs whatever part of its purpose remains meaningful.
68+
69+
(For example, a function in a library to compute square roots has a purpose that is entirely well-defined independent of the application. Therefore, Subsection 2d requires that any application-supplied function or table used by this function must be optional: if the application does not supply it, the square root function must still compute square roots.)
70+
71+
These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Library, and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based on the Library, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it.
72+
73+
Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or collective works based on the Library.
74+
75+
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.
76+
77+
3. You may opt to apply the terms of the ordinary GNU General Public License instead of this License to a given copy of the Library. To do this, you must alter all the notices that refer to this License, so that they refer to the ordinary GNU General Public License, version 2, instead of to this License. (If a newer version than version 2 of the ordinary GNU General Public License has appeared, then you can specify that version instead if you wish.) Do not make any other change in these notices.
78+
79+
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.
80+
81+
This option is useful when you wish to copy part of the code of the Library into a program that is not a library.
82+
83+
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.
84+
85+
If distribution of object code is made by offering access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent access to copy the source code from the same place satisfies the requirement to distribute the source code, even though third parties are not compelled to copy the source along with the object code.
86+
87+
5. A program that contains no derivative of any portion of the Library, but is designed to work with the Library by being compiled or linked with it, is called a "work that uses the Library". Such a work, in isolation, is not a derivative work of the Library, and therefore falls outside the scope of this License.
88+
89+
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.
90+
91+
When a "work that uses the Library" uses material from a header file that is part of the Library, the object code for the work may be a derivative work of the Library even though the source code is not. Whether this is true is especially significant if the work can be linked without the Library, or if the work is itself a library. The threshold for this to be true is not precisely defined by law.
92+
93+
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.)
94+
95+
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.
96+
97+
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.
98+
99+
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:
100+
101+
* a) Accompany the work with the complete corresponding machine-readable source code for the Library including whatever changes were used in the work (which must be distributed under Sections 1 and 2 above); and, if the work is an executable linked with the Library, with the complete machine-readable "work that uses the Library", as object code and/or source code, so that the user can modify the Library and then relink to produce a modified executable containing the modified Library. (It is understood that the user who changes the contents of definitions files in the Library will not necessarily be able to recompile the application to use the modified definitions.)
102+
* b) Use a suitable shared library mechanism for linking with the Library. A suitable mechanism is one that (1) uses at run time a copy of the library already present on the user's computer system, rather than copying library functions into the executable, and (2) will operate properly with a modified version of the library, if the user installs one, as long as the modified version is interface-compatible with the version that the work was made with.
103+
* c) Accompany the work with a written offer, valid for at least three years, to give the same user the materials specified in Subsection 6a, above, for a charge no more than the cost of performing this distribution.
104+
* d) If distribution of the work is made by offering access to copy from a designated place, offer equivalent access to copy the above specified materials from the same place.
105+
* e) Verify that the user has already received a copy of these materials or that you have already sent this user a copy.
106+
107+
For an executable, the required form of the "work that uses the Library" must include any data and utility programs needed for reproducing the executable from it. However, as a special exception, the materials to be distributed need not include anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component itself accompanies the executable.
108+
109+
It may happen that this requirement contradicts the license restrictions of other proprietary libraries that do not normally accompany the operating system. Such a contradiction means you cannot use both them and the Library together in an executable that you distribute.
110+
111+
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:
112+
113+
* a) Accompany the combined library with a copy of the same work based on the Library, uncombined with any other library facilities. This must be distributed under the terms of the Sections above.
114+
* 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.
115+
116+
8. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, link with, or distribute the Library except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense, link with, or distribute the Library is void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License. However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such parties remain in full compliance.
117+
118+
9. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or distribute the Library or its derivative works. These actions are prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by modifying or distributing the Library (or any work based on the Library), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying the Library or works based on it.
119+
120+
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.
121+
122+
11. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues), conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you may not distribute the Library at all. For example, if a patent license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Library by all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to refrain entirely from distribution of the Library.
123+
124+
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.
125+
126+
It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the integrity of the free software distribution system which is implemented by public license practices. Many people have made generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed through that system in reliance on consistent application of that system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot impose that choice.
127+
128+
This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to be a consequence of the rest of this License.
129+
130+
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.
131+
132+
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.
133+
134+
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.
135+
136+
14. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Library into other free programs whose distribution conditions are incompatible with these, write to the author to ask for permission. For software which is copyrighted by the Free Software Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes make exceptions for this. Our decision will be guided by the two goals of preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and of promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally.
137+
138+
NO WARRANTY
139+
140+
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.
141+
142+
16. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR REDISTRIBUTE THE LIBRARY AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE LIBRARY (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE LIBRARY TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER SOFTWARE), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

How to Apply These Terms to Your New Libraries
146+
147+
If you develop a new library, and you want it to be of the greatest possible use to the public, we recommend making it free software that everyone can redistribute and change. You can do so by permitting redistribution under these terms (or, alternatively, under the terms of the ordinary General Public License).
148+
149+
To apply these terms, attach the following notices to the library. 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.
150+
151+
one line to give the library's name and an idea of what it does.

You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or your school, if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the library, if necessary. Here is a sample; alter the names:
