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significantif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legallya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
