whichmustbedistributedunderthetermsofSections1and2aboveonamedium
customarilyusedforsoftwareinterchange.
Ifdistributionofobjectcodeismadebyofferingaccesstocopyfroma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.
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.
However,linkinga“workthatusestheLibrary”withtheLibrarycreatesanexecutable
thatisaderivativeoftheLibrary(becauseitcontainsportionsoftheLibrary),rather
thana“workthatusesthelibrary”.TheexecutableisthereforecoveredbythisLicense.
Section6statestermsfordistributionofsuchexecutables.
Whena“workthatusestheLibrary”usesmaterialfromaheaderfilethatispartofthe
Library,theobjectcodefortheworkmaybeaderivative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.
Ifsuchanobjectfileusesonlynumericalparameters,datastructurelayoutsand
accessors,andsmallmacrosandsmallinlinefunctions(tenlinesorlessinlength),then
theuseoftheobjectfileisunrestricted,regardlessofwhetheritislegallyaderivative
work.(ExecutablescontainingthisobjectcodeplusportionsoftheLibrarywillstillfall
underSection6.)
Otherwise,iftheworkisaderivativeoftheLibrary,youmaydistributetheobjectcode
fortheworkunderthetermsofSection6.Anyexecutablescontainingthatworkalsofall
underSection6,whetherornottheyarelinkeddirectlywiththeLibraryitself.
6. AsanexceptiontotheSectionsabove,youmayalsocombineorlinka“workthatuses
theLibrary”withtheLibrarytoproduceaworkcontainingportionsoftheLibrary,and
distributethatworkundertermsofyourchoice,providedthatthetermspermit
modificationoftheworkforthecustomer’sownuseandreverseengineeringfor
debuggingsuchmodifications.
YoumustgiveprominentnoticewitheachcopyoftheworkthattheLibraryisusedin
itandthattheLibraryanditsusearecoveredbythisLicense.Youmustsupplyacopy
ofthisLicense.Iftheworkduringexecutiondisplayscopyrightnotices,youmustinclude
thecopyrightnoticefortheLibraryamongthem,aswellasareferencedirectingthe
usertothecopyofthisLicense.Also,youmustdooneofthesethings:
