Gigaset A580 IP – free software

Gigaset A580 IP / US English / A31008-xxxx-xxxx-x-xxxx / appendix.fm / 24.04.2009

Version 8, 03.09.2008

GNU LESSER GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE

Version 2.1, February 1999

Boston, MA 02111-1307 USA

Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this license document,

but changing it is not allowed.

[This is the first released version of the Lesser GPL. It also counts as the successor of the

GNU Library Public License, version 2, hence the version number 2.1.]

Preamble

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.

This license, the Lesser General Public License, applies to some specially designated soft-

ware 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.

When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom of use, not price. Our Gene-

ral 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.

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.

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 pro-

vide 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.

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.

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.

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 free-

dom of use specified in this license.

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.

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.
