GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
Version 3, 29 June 2007
Copyright (C) 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 program--to make 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 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.
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 fee, you must pass on to the recipients the same
freedoms that you received. 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.
Developers that use the GNU GPL protect your rights with two steps:
(1) assert copyright on the 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 warranty 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 such 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 program could
make it effectively proprietary. To prevent this, the GPL assures that
patents cannot be used to render the program non-free.
The precise 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.
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 work is called a "modified version" of the
earlier work or a work "based on" the earlier work.
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 make 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 copy, 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 work (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 major essential 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 work, 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 work'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 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 works 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
receive 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
non-permissive terms added in accord with section 7 apply to the code;
keep intact all notices of the absence of any warranty; and give all
recipients a copy of this License along with the Program.
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 called 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 the aggregate.
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 physical 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 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 offer, 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 the 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 that 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 (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 written to require 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
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 notice 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
must 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 licenses 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 copy of the Program. Ancillary propagation of a covered work
occurring solely as a consequence of using peer-to-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 covered 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 predecessor in interest 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 the 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.
If you convey a covered work, knowingly relying on a patent license,
and the Corresponding 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 some 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
work if you are a party to an arrangement with a third party that is
in the business of distributing 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 receive 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) that 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 collect a royalty for further conveying from those to whom you convey
the Program, the only way you could satisfy 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 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 General 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 follow 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 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.
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, INCIDENTAL 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.
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 the 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 not, 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.
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>.

1. A dlopen() based approach needs a cache of loaded shared libraries.
Otherwise, every iconv_open() call will result in a call to dlopen()
and thus to file system related system calls - which is prohibitive
because some applications use the iconv_open/iconv/iconv_close sequence
for every single filename, string, or piece of text.
2. In terms of virtual memory use, both approaches are on par. Being shared
libraries, the tables are shared between any processes that use them.
And because of the demand loading used by Unix systems (and because libiconv
does not have initialization functions), only those parts of the tables
which are needed (typically very few kilobytes) will be read from disk and
paged into main memory.
3. Even with a cache of loaded shared libraries, the dlopen() based approach
makes more system calls, because it has to load one or two shared libraries
for every encoding in use.
* Total size
In the dlopen(3) approach, every shared library has a symbol table and
relocation offset. All together, FreeBSD iconv installs more than 200 shared
libraries with a total size of 2.3 MB. Whereas libiconv installs 0.45 MB.
* Extensibility
The dlopen(3) approach is good for guaranteeing extensibility if the iconv
implementation is distributed without source. (Or when, as in glibc, you
cannot rebuild iconv without rebuilding your libc, thus possibly
destabilizing your system.)
The libiconv package achieves extensibility through the LGPL license:
Every user has access to the source of the package and can extend and
replace just libiconv.so.
The places which have to be modified when a new encoding is added are as
follows: add an #include statement in iconv.c, add an entry in the table in
iconv.c, and of course, update the README and iconv_open.3 manual page.
* Use within other packages
If you want to incorporate an iconv implementation into another package
(such as a mail user agent or web browser), the single library approach
is easier, because:
1. In the shared library approach you have to provide the right directory
prefix which will be used at run time.
2. Incorporating iconv as a static library into the executable is easy -
it won't need dynamic loading. (This assumes that your package is under
the LGPL or GPL license.)
All conversions go through Unicode. This is possible because most of the
world's characters have already been allocated in the Unicode standard.
Therefore we have for each encoding two functions:
- For conversion from the encoding to Unicode, a function called xxx_mbtowc.
- For conversion from Unicode to the encoding, a function called xxx_wctomb,
and for stateful encodings, a function called xxx_reset which returns to
the initial shift state.
All our functions operate on a single Unicode character at a time. This is
obviously less efficient than operating on an entire buffer of characters at
a time, but it makes the coding considerably easier and less bug-prone. Those
who wish best performance should install the Real Thing (TM): GNU libc 2.1
or newer.

All you need to know when hacking (modifying) GNU libiconv or when building
it off the CVS.
Requirements
============
You will need reasonably recent versions of the build tools:
* A C compiler. Such as GNU GCC.
+ Homepage:
http://gcc.gnu.org/
* GNU automake
+ Homepage:
http://www.gnu.org/software/automake/
* GNU autoconf
+ Homepage:
http://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf/
* GNU m4
+ Homepage:
http://www.gnu.org/software/m4/
* GNU gperf
+ Homepage:
http://www.gnu.org/software/gperf/
* GNU groff 1.17 or newer
+ Homepage:
http://www.gnu.org/software/groff/
* Perl
+ Homepage:
http://www.perl.org/
* Either an internet connection or a recent copy of GNU gnulib.
+ Homepage:
http://www.gnu.org/software/gnulib/
And, of course, the packages listed in the DEPENDENCIES file.
Building off the CVS
====================
Access to the CVS is described at http://sourceforge.net/cvs/?group_id=51585 .
After fetching the sources from the CVS, peek at the comments in autogen.sh,
then run "./autogen.sh"; then you can proceed with "./configure" as usual.
Adding new encodings
====================
For an indication which encodings are acceptable in the official version of
GNU libiconv, take a look at NOTES.
For an indication which files need to be modified when adding a new encoding,
look for example at the 2007-05-25 ChangeLog entry for RK1048. The lib/*.h
file for an encoding is usually generated by one of the tools in the tools/
directory. All you need to provide is the conversion table in the format of
the many *.TXT files.

New in 1.13:
* The library and the iconv program now understand platform dependent aliases,
for better compatibility with the platform's own iconv_open function.
Examples: "646" on Solaris, "iso88591" on HP-UX, "IBM-1252" on AIX.
* For stateful encodings, when the input ends with a shift sequence followed
by invalid input, the iconv function now increments the input pointer past
the shift sequence before returning (size_t)(-1) with errno = EILSEQ. This
is also like GNU libc's iconv() behaves.
* The library exports a new function iconv_open_into() that stores the
conversion descriptor in pre-allocated memory, rather than allocating fresh
memory for it.
* Added CP1131 converter.
New in 1.12:
* The iconv program is now licensed under the GPL version 3, instead of the

Hint3: The character sets supported by Netscape Communicator 4.
Where is this documented? For the complete picture, I had to use
"strings netscape" and then a lot of guesswork. For a quick take,
look at the "View - Character set" menu of Netscape Communicator 4.6:
ISO-8859-{1,2,5,7,9,15}
WINDOWS-{1250,1251,1253}
KOI8-R Cyrillic
CP866 Cyrillic
Autodetect Japanese (EUC-JP, ISO-2022-JP, ISO-2022-JP-2, SJIS)
EUC-JP Japanese

UTF-7
UNICODE actually UNICODE-LITTLE
UNICODEFEFF actually UNICODE-BIG
and various DOS character sets: DOS-720, DOS-862, IBM852, CP866.
We take the union of all these four sets. The result is:
European and Semitic languages
* ASCII.
We implement this because it is occasionally useful to know or to
check whether some text is entirely ASCII (i.e. if the conversion
ISO-8859-x -> UTF-8 is trivial).
* ISO-8859-{1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10}
We implement this because they are widely used. Except ISO-8859-4
which appears to have been superseded by ISO-8859-13 in the baltic
countries. But it's an ISO standard anyway.
* ISO-8859-13
We implement this because it's a standard in Lithuania and Latvia.
* ISO-8859-14
We implement this because it's an ISO standard.
* ISO-8859-15
We implement this because it's increasingly used in Europe, because
of the Euro symbol.
* ISO-8859-16
We implement this because it's an ISO standard.
* KOI8-R, KOI8-U
We implement this because it appears to be the predominant encoding
on Unix in Russia and Ukraine, respectively.
* KOI8-RU
We implement this because MSIE4 supports it.
* KOI8-T
We implement this because it is the locale encoding in glibc's Tajik
locale.
* PT154
We implement this because it is the locale encoding in glibc's Kazakh
locale.
* RK1048
We implement this because it's a standard in Kazakhstan.
* CP{1250,1251,1252,1253,1254,1255,1256,1257}
We implement these because they are the predominant Windows encodings
in Europe.
* CP850
We implement this because it is mentioned as occurring in the web
in the aforementioned statistics.
* CP862
We implement this because Ron Aaron says it is sometimes used in web
pages and emails.
* CP866
We implement this because Netscape Communicator does.
* CP1131
We implement this because it is the locale encoding of a Belorusian
locale in FreeBSD and MacOS X.
* Mac{Roman,CentralEurope,Croatian,Romania,Cyrillic,Greek,Turkish} and
Mac{Hebrew,Arabic}
We implement these because the Sun JDK does, and because Mac users
don't deserve to be punished.
* Macintosh
We implement this because it is mentioned as occurring in the web
in the aforementioned statistics.
Japanese
* EUC-JP, SHIFT_JIS, ISO-2022-JP
We implement these because they are widely used. EUC-JP and SHIFT_JIS
are more used for files, whereas ISO-2022-JP is recommended for email.
* CP932
We implement this because it is the Microsoft variant of SHIFT_JIS,
used on Windows.
* ISO-2022-JP-2
We implement this because it's the common way to represent mails which
make use of JIS X 0212 characters.
* ISO-2022-JP-1
We implement this because it's in the RFCs, but I don't think it is
really used.
* U90, S90
We DON'T implement this because I have no informations about what it
is or who uses it.
Simplified Chinese
* EUC-CN = GB2312
We implement this because it is the widely used representation
of simplified Chinese.
* GBK
We implement this because it appears to be used on Solaris and Windows.
* GB18030
We implement this because it is an official requirement in the
People's Republic of China.
* ISO-2022-CN
We implement this because it is in the RFCs, but I have no idea
whether it is really used.
* ISO-2022-CN-EXT
We implement this because it's in the RFCs, but I don't think it is
really used.
* HZ = HZ-GB-2312
We implement this because the RFCs recommend it for Usenet postings,
and because MSIE4 supports it.
Traditional Chinese
* EUC-TW
We implement it because it appears to be used on Unix.
* BIG5
We implement it because it is the de-facto standard for traditional
Chinese.
* CP950
We implement this because it is the Microsoft variant of BIG5, used
on Windows.
* BIG5+
We DON'T implement this because it doesn't appear to be in wide use.
Only the CWEX fonts use this encoding. Furthermore, the conversion
tables in the big5p package are not coherent: If you convert directly,
you get different results than when you convert via GBK.
* BIG5-HKSCS
We implement it because it is the de-facto standard for traditional
Chinese in Hongkong.
Korean
* EUC-KR
We implement these because they appear to be the widely used
representations for Korean.
* CP949
We implement this because it is the Microsoft variant of EUC-KR, used
on Windows.
* ISO-2022-KR
We implement it because it is in the RFCs and because MSIE4 supports
it, but I have no idea whether it's really used.
* JOHAB
We implement this because it is apparently used on Windows as a locale
encoding (codepage 1361).
* ISO-646-KR
We DON'T implement this because although an old ASCII variant, its
glyph for 0x7E is not clear: RFC 1345 and unicode.org's JOHAB.TXT
say it's a tilde, but Ken Lunde's "CJKV information processing" says
it's an overline. And it is not ISO-IR registered.
Armenian
* ARMSCII-8
We implement it because XFree86 supports it.
Georgian
* Georgian-Academy, Georgian-PS
We implement these because they appear to be both used for Georgian;
Xfree86 supports them.
Thai
* ISO-8859-11, TIS-620
We implement these because it seems to be standard for Thai.
* CP874
We implement this because MSIE4 supports it.
* MacThai
We implement this because the Sun JDK does, and because Mac users
don't deserve to be punished.
Laotian
* MuleLao-1, CP1133
We implement these because XFree86 supports them. I have no idea which
one is used more widely.
Vietnamese
* VISCII, TCVN
We implement these because XFree86 supports them.
* CP1258
We implement this because MSIE4 supports it.
Other languages
* NUNACOM-8 (Inuktitut)
We DON'T implement this because it isn't part of Unicode yet, and
therefore doesn't convert to anything except itself.
Platform specifics
* HP-ROMAN8, NEXTSTEP
We implement these because they were the native character set on HPs
and NeXTs for a long time, and libiconv is intended to be usable on
these old machines.
Full Unicode
* UTF-8, UCS-2, UCS-4
We implement these. Obviously.
* UCS-2BE, UCS-2LE, UCS-4BE, UCS-4LE
We implement these because they are the preferred internal
representation of strings in Unicode aware applications. These are
non-ambiguous names, known to glibc. (glibc doesn't have
UCS-2-INTERNAL and UCS-4-INTERNAL.)
* UTF-16, UTF-16BE, UTF-16LE
We implement these, because UTF-16 is still the favourite encoding of
the president of the Unicode Consortium (for political reasons), and
because they appear in RFC 2781.
* UTF-32, UTF-32BE, UTF-32LE
We implement these because they are part of Unicode 3.1.
* UTF-7
We implement this because it is essential functionality for mail
applications.
* C99
We implement it because it's used for C and C++ programs and because
it's a nice encoding for debugging.
* JAVA
We implement it because it's used for Java programs and because it's
a nice encoding for debugging.
* UNICODE (big endian), UNICODEFEFF (little endian)
We DON'T implement these because they are stupid and not standardized.
Full Unicode, in terms of `uint16_t' or `uint32_t'
(with machine dependent endianness and alignment)
* UCS-2-INTERNAL, UCS-4-INTERNAL
We implement these because they are the preferred internal
representation of strings in Unicode aware applications.
Q: Support encodings mentioned in RFC 1345 ?
A: No, they are not in use any more. Supporting ISO-646 variants is pointless
since ISO-8859-* have been adopted.
Q: Support EBCDIC ?
A: No!
Q: How do I add a new character set?
A: 1. Explain the "why" in this file, above.
2. You need to have a conversion table from/to Unicode. Transform it into
the format used by the mapping tables found on ftp.unicode.org: each line
contains the character code, in hex, with 0x prefix, then whitespace,
then the Unicode code point, in hex, 4 hex digits, with 0x prefix. '#'
counts as a comment delimiter until end of line.
Please also send your table to Mark Leisher <mleisher@crl.nmsu.edu> so he
can include it in his collection.
3. If it's an 8-bit character set, use the '8bit_tab_to_h' program in the
tools directory to generate the C code for the conversion. You may tweak
the resulting C code if you are not satisfied with its quality, but this
is rarely needed.
If it's a two-dimensional character set (with rows and columns), use the
'cjk_tab_to_h' program in the tools directory to generate the C code for
the conversion. You will need to modify the main() function to recognize
the new character set name, with the proper dimensions, but that shouldn't
be too hard. This yields the CCS. The CES you have to write by hand.
4. Store the resulting C code file in the lib directory. Add a #include
directive to converters.h, and add an entry to the encodings.def file.
5. Compile the package, and test your new encoding using a program like
iconv(1) or clisp(1).
6. Augment the testsuite: Add a line to tests/Makefile.in. For a stateless
encoding, create the complete table as a TXT file. For a stateful encoding,
provide a text snippet encoded using your new encoding and its UTF-8
equivalent.
7. Update the README and man/iconv_open.3, to mention the new encoding.
Add a note in the NEWS file.
Q: What about bidirectional text? Should it be tagged or reversed when
converting from ISO-8859-8 or ISO-8859-6 to Unicode? Qt appears to do
this, see qt-2.0.1/src/tools/qrtlcodec.cpp.
A: After reading RFC 1556: I don't think so. Support for ISO-8859-8-I and
ISO-8859-E remains to be implemented.
On the other hand, a page on www.w3c.org says that ISO-8859-8 in *email*
is visually encoded, ISO-8859-8 in *HTML* is logically encoded, i.e.
the same as ISO-8859-8-I. I'm confused.
Other character sets not implemented:
"MNEMONIC" = "csMnemonic"
"MNEM" = "csMnem"
"ISO-10646-UCS-Basic" = "csUnicodeASCII"
"ISO-10646-Unicode-Latin1" = "csUnicodeLatin1" = "ISO-10646"
"ISO-10646-J-1"
"UNICODE-1-1" = "csUnicode11"
"csWindows31Latin5"
Other aliases not implemented (and not implemented in glibc-2.1 either):
From MSIE4:
ISO-8859-1: alias ISO8859-1
ISO-8859-2: alias ISO8859-2
KSC_5601: alias KS_C_5601
UTF-8: aliases UNICODE-1-1-UTF-8 UNICODE-2-0-UTF-8
Q: How can I integrate libiconv into my package?
A: Just copy the entire libiconv package into a subdirectory of your package.
At configuration time, call libiconv's configure script with the
appropriate --srcdir option and maybe --enable-static or --disable-shared.
Then "cd libiconv && make && make install-lib libdir=... includedir=...".
'install-lib' is a special (not GNU standardized) target which installs
only the include file - in $(includedir) - and the library - in $(libdir) -
and does not use other directory variables. After "installing" libiconv
in your package's build directory, building of your package can proceed.
Q: Why is the testsuite so big?
A: Because some of the tests are very comprehensive.
If you don't feel like using the testsuite, you can simply remove the
tests/ directory.

GNU LIBICONV - character set conversion library
This library provides an iconv() implementation, for use on systems which
don't have one, or whose implementation cannot convert from/to Unicode.
It provides support for the encodings:
European languages
ASCII, ISO-8859-{1,2,3,4,5,7,9,10,13,14,15,16},
KOI8-R, KOI8-U, KOI8-RU,
CP{1250,1251,1252,1253,1254,1257}, CP{850,866,1131},
Mac{Roman,CentralEurope,Iceland,Croatian,Romania},
Mac{Cyrillic,Ukraine,Greek,Turkish},
Macintosh
Semitic languages
ISO-8859-{6,8}, CP{1255,1256}, CP862, Mac{Hebrew,Arabic}
Japanese
EUC-JP, SHIFT_JIS, CP932, ISO-2022-JP, ISO-2022-JP-2, ISO-2022-JP-1
Chinese
EUC-CN, HZ, GBK, CP936, GB18030, EUC-TW, BIG5, CP950, BIG5-HKSCS,
BIG5-HKSCS:2001, BIG5-HKSCS:1999, ISO-2022-CN, ISO-2022-CN-EXT
Korean
EUC-KR, CP949, ISO-2022-KR, JOHAB
Armenian
ARMSCII-8
Georgian
Georgian-Academy, Georgian-PS
Tajik
KOI8-T
Kazakh
PT154, RK1048
Thai
ISO-8859-11, TIS-620, CP874, MacThai
Laotian
MuleLao-1, CP1133
Vietnamese
VISCII, TCVN, CP1258
Platform specifics
HP-ROMAN8, NEXTSTEP
Full Unicode
UTF-8
UCS-2, UCS-2BE, UCS-2LE
UCS-4, UCS-4BE, UCS-4LE
UTF-16, UTF-16BE, UTF-16LE
UTF-32, UTF-32BE, UTF-32LE
UTF-7
C99, JAVA
Full Unicode, in terms of `uint16_t' or `uint32_t'
(with machine dependent endianness and alignment)
UCS-2-INTERNAL, UCS-4-INTERNAL
Locale dependent, in terms of `char' or `wchar_t'
(with machine dependent endianness and alignment, and with OS and
locale dependent semantics)
char, wchar_t
The empty encoding name "" is equivalent to "char": it denotes the
locale dependent character encoding.
When configured with the option --enable-extra-encodings, it also provides
support for a few extra encodings:
European languages
CP{437,737,775,852,853,855,857,858,860,861,863,865,869,1125}
Semitic languages
CP864
Japanese
EUC-JISX0213, Shift_JISX0213, ISO-2022-JP-3
Chinese
BIG5-2003 (experimental)
Turkmen
TDS565
Platform specifics
ATARIST, RISCOS-LATIN1
It can convert from any of these encodings to any other, through Unicode
conversion.
It has also some limited support for transliteration, i.e. when a character
cannot be represented in the target character set, it can be approximated
through one or several similarly looking characters. Transliteration is
activated when "//TRANSLIT" is appended to the target encoding name.
libiconv is for you if your application needs to support multiple character
encodings, but that support lacks from your system.
Installation
------------
As usual for GNU packages:
$ ./configure --prefix=/usr/local
$ make
$ make install
After installing GNU libiconv for the first time, it is recommended to
recompile and reinstall GNU gettext, so that it can take advantage of
libiconv.
On systems other than GNU/Linux, the iconv program will be internationalized
only if GNU gettext has been built and installed before GNU libiconv. This
means that the first time GNU libiconv is installed, we have a circular
dependency between the GNU libiconv and GNU gettext packages, which can be
resolved by building and installing either
- first libiconv, then gettext, then libiconv again,
or (on systems supporting shared libraries, excluding AIX)
- first gettext, then libiconv, then gettext again.
Recall that before building a package for the second time, you need to erase
the traces of the first build by running "make distclean".
This library can be built and installed in two variants:
- The library mode. This works on all systems, and uses a library
`libiconv.so' and a header file `<iconv.h>'. (Both are installed
through "make install".)
To use it, simply #include <iconv.h> and use the functions.
To use it in an autoconfiguring package:
- If you don't use automake, append m4/iconv.m4 to your aclocal.m4
file.
- If you do use automake, add m4/iconv.m4 to your m4 macro repository.
- Add to the link command line of libraries and executables that use
the functions the placeholder @LIBICONV@ (or, if using libtool for
the link, @LTLIBICONV@). If you use automake, the right place for
these additions are the *_LDADD variables.
Note that 'iconv.m4' is also part of the GNU gettext package, which
installs it in /usr/local/share/aclocal/iconv.m4.
- The libc plug/override mode. This works on GNU/Linux, Solaris and OSF/1
systems only. It is a way to get good iconv support without having
glibc-2.1.
It installs a library `preloadable_libiconv.so'. This library can be used
with LD_PRELOAD, to override the iconv* functions present in the C library.
On GNU/Linux and Solaris:
$ export LD_PRELOAD=/usr/local/lib/preloadable_libiconv.so
On OSF/1:
$ export _RLD_LIST=/usr/local/lib/preloadable_libiconv.so:DEFAULT
A program's source need not be modified, the program need not even be
recompiled. Just set the LD_PRELOAD environment variable, that's it!

for LIBICONV_PLUG, we need the proper iconv_t type in order to produce
binary compatible code.
But gcc's #include_next is not portable. Thus, once libiconv's iconv.h
has been installed in /usr/local/include, there is no way any more to
include the original /usr/include/iconv.h. We simply have to get away
without it.
Ad 1. The risk that a system header file does
#include "iconv.h" or #include_next "iconv.h"
is small. They all do #include <iconv.h>.
Ad 2. The iconv_t type is a pointer type in all cases I have seen. (It
