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.)
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.
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.
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.
e)Verifythattheuserhasalreadyreceivedacopyofthesematerialsorthatyouhave
alreadysentthisuseracopy.
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.
Itmayhappenthatthisrequirementcontradictsthelicenserestrictionsofother
proprietarylibrariesthatdonotnormallyaccompanytheoperatingsystem.Sucha
