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 software 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 General 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 provide -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 freedom 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. - - We call this license the "Lesser" General Public License because it -does Less to protect the user's freedom than the ordinary General -Public License. It also provides other free software developers Less -of an advantage over competing non-free programs. These disadvantages -are the reason we use the ordinary General Public License for many -libraries. However, the Lesser license provides advantages in certain -special circumstances. - - For example, on rare occasions, there may be a special need to -encourage the widest possible use of a certain library, so that it becomes -a de-facto standard. To achieve this, non-free programs must be -allowed to use the library. A more frequent case is that a free -library does the same job as widely used non-free libraries. In this -case, there is little to gain by limiting the free library to free -software only, so we use the Lesser General Public License. - - In other cases, permission to use a particular library in non-free -programs enables a greater number of people to use a large body of -free software. For example, permission to use the GNU C Library in -non-free programs enables many more people to use the whole GNU -operating system, as well as its variant, the GNU/Linux operating -system. - - Although the Lesser General Public License is Less protective of the -users' freedom, it does ensure that the user of a program that is -linked with the Library has the freedom and the wherewithal to run -that program using a modified version of the Library. - - The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and -modification follow. Pay close attention to the difference between a -"work based on the library" and a "work that uses the library". The -former contains code derived from the library, whereas the latter must -be combined with the library in order to run. - - GNU LESSER GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE - TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION - - 0. This License Agreement applies to any software library or other -program which contains a notice placed by the copyright holder or -other authorized party saying it may be distributed under the terms of -this Lesser General Public License (also called "this License"). -Each licensee is addressed as "you". - - A "library" means a collection of software functions and/or data -prepared so as to be conveniently linked with application programs -(which use some of those functions and data) to form executables. - - The "Library", below, refers to any such software library or work -which has been distributed under these terms. A "work based on the -Library" means either the Library or any derivative work under -copyright law: that is to say, a work containing the Library or a -portion of it, either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated -straightforwardly into another language. (Hereinafter, translation is -included without limitation in the term "modification".) - - "Source code" for a work means the preferred form of the work for -making modifications to it. For a library, complete source code means -all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any associated -interface definition files, plus the scripts used to control compilation -and installation of the library. - - Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not -covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of -running a program using the Library is not restricted, and output from -such a program is covered only if its contents constitute a work based -on the Library (independent of the use of the Library in a tool for -writing it). Whether that is true depends on what the Library does -and what the program that uses the Library does. - - 1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Library's -complete source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that -you conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an -appropriate copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact -all the notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any -warranty; and distribute a copy of this License along with the -Library. - - You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, -and you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a -fee. - - 2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Library or any portion -of it, thus forming a work based on the Library, and copy and -distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1 -above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions: - - a) The modified work must itself be a software library. - - b) You must cause the files modified to carry prominent notices - stating that you changed the files and the date of any change. - - c) You must cause the whole of the work to be licensed at no - charge to all third parties under the terms of this License. - - d) If a facility in the modified Library refers to a function or a - table of data to be supplied by an application program that uses - the facility, other than as an argument passed when the facility - is invoked, then you must make a good faith effort to ensure that, - in the event an application does not supply such function or - table, the facility still operates, and performs whatever part of - its purpose remains meaningful. - - (For example, a function in a library to compute square roots has - a purpose that is entirely well-defined independent of the - application. Therefore, Subsection 2d requires that any - application-supplied function or table used by this function must - be optional: if the application does not supply it, the square - root function must still compute square roots.) - -These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If -identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Library, -and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in -themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those -sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you -distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based -on the Library, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of -this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the -entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote -it. - -Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest -your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to -exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or -collective works based on the Library. - -In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Library -with the Library (or with a work based on the Library) on a volume of -a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under -the scope of this License. - - 3. You may opt to apply the terms of the ordinary GNU General Public -License instead of this License to a given copy of the Library. To do -this, you must alter all the notices that refer to this License, so -that they refer to the ordinary GNU General Public License, version 2, -instead of to this License. (If a newer version than version 2 of the -ordinary GNU General Public License has appeared, then you can specify -that version instead if you wish.) Do not make any other change in -these notices. - - Once this change is made in a given copy, it is irreversible for -that copy, so the ordinary GNU General Public License applies to all -subsequent copies and derivative works made from that copy. - - This option is useful when you wish to copy part of the code of -the Library into a program that is not a library. - - 4. You may copy and distribute the Library (or a portion or -derivative of it, under Section 2) in object code or executable form -under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you accompany -it with the complete corresponding machine-readable source code, 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: - - 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 contradiction means you cannot -use both them and the Library together in an executable that you -distribute. - - 7. You may place library facilities that are a work based on the -Library side-by-side in a single library together with other library -facilities not covered by this License, and distribute such a combined -library, provided that the separate distribution of the work based on -the Library and of the other library facilities is otherwise -permitted, and provided that you do these two things: - - a) Accompany the combined library with a copy of the same work - based on the Library, uncombined with any other library - facilities. This must be distributed under the terms of the - Sections above. - - b) Give prominent notice with the combined library of the fact - that part of it is a work based on the Library, and explaining - where to find the accompanying uncombined form of the same work. - - 8. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, link with, or distribute -the Library except as expressly provided under this License. Any -attempt otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense, link with, or -distribute the Library is void, and will automatically terminate your -rights under this License. However, parties who have received copies, -or rights, from you under this License will not have their licenses -terminated so long as such parties remain in full compliance. - - 9. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not -signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or -distribute the Library or its derivative works. These actions are -prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by -modifying or distributing the Library (or any work based on the -Library), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and -all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying -the Library or works based on it. - - 10. Each time you redistribute the Library (or any work based on the -Library), the recipient automatically receives a license from the -original licensor to copy, distribute, link with or modify the Library -subject to these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further -restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein. -You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties with -this License. - - 11. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent -infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues), -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 -distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this -License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you -may not distribute the Library at all. For example, if a patent -license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Library by -all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then -the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to -refrain entirely from distribution of the Library. - -If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under any -particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to apply, -and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other circumstances. - -It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any -patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any -such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the -integrity of the free software distribution system which is -implemented by public license practices. Many people have made -generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed -through that system in reliance on consistent application of that -system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing -to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot -impose that choice. - -This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to -be a consequence of the rest of this License. - - 12. If the distribution and/or use of the Library is restricted in -certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the -original copyright holder who places the Library under this License may add -an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding those countries, -so that distribution is permitted only in or among countries not thus -excluded. In such case, this License incorporates the limitation as if -written in the body of this License. - - 13. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new -versions of the Lesser 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 Library -specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and -"any later version", you have the option of following the terms and -conditions either of that version or of any later version published by -the Free Software Foundation. If the Library does not specify a -license version number, you may choose any version ever published by -the Free Software Foundation. - - 14. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Library into other free -programs whose distribution conditions are incompatible with these, -write to the author to ask for permission. For software which is -copyrighted by the Free Software Foundation, write to the Free -Software Foundation; we sometimes make exceptions for this. Our -decision will be guided by the two goals of preserving the free status -of all derivatives of our free software and of promoting the sharing -and reuse of software generally. - - NO WARRANTY - - 15. BECAUSE THE LIBRARY IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO -WARRANTY FOR THE LIBRARY, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. -EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR -OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE LIBRARY "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 -LIBRARY IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE LIBRARY PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME -THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION. - - 16. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN -WRITING WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY -AND/OR REDISTRIBUTE THE LIBRARY 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 -LIBRARY (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 LIBRARY TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER SOFTWARE), EVEN IF -SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH -DAMAGES. - - END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS + GNU LESSER GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE + Version 2.1, February 1999 + + Copyright (C) 1991, 1999 Free Software Foundation, Inc. + 59 Temple Place, Suite 330, 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.

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: + + 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 contradiction means you cannot +use both them and the Library together in an executable that you +distribute. + + 7. You may place library facilities that are a work based on the +Library side-by-side in a single library together with other library +facilities not covered by this License, and distribute such a combined +library, provided that the separate distribution of the work based on +the Library and of the other library facilities is otherwise +permitted, and provided that you do these two things: + + a) Accompany the combined library with a copy of the same work + based on the Library, uncombined with any other library + facilities. This must be distributed under the terms of the + Sections above. + + b) Give prominent notice with the combined library of the fact + that part of it is a work based on the Library, and explaining + where to find the accompanying uncombined form of the same work. + + 8. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, link with, or distribute +the Library except as expressly provided under this License. Any +attempt otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense, link with, or +distribute the Library is void, and will automatically terminate your +rights under this License. However, parties who have received copies, +or rights, from you under this License will not have their licenses +terminated so long as such parties remain in full compliance. + + 9. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not +signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or +distribute the Library or its derivative works. These actions are +prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by +modifying or distributing the Library (or any work based on the +Library), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and +all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying +the Library or works based on it. + + 10. Each time you redistribute the Library (or any work based on the +Library), the recipient automatically receives a license from the +original licensor to copy, distribute, link with or modify the Library +subject to these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further +restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein. +You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties with +this License. + + 11. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent +infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues), +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 +distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this +License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you +may not distribute the Library at all. For example, if a patent +license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Library by +all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then +the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to +refrain entirely from distribution of the Library. + +If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under any +particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to apply, +and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other circumstances. + +It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any +patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any +such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the +integrity of the free software distribution system which is +implemented by public license practices. Many people have made +generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed +through that system in reliance on consistent application of that +system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing +to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot +impose that choice. + +This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to +be a consequence of the rest of this License. + + 12. If the distribution and/or use of the Library is restricted in +certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the +original copyright holder who places the Library under this License may add +an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding those countries, +so that distribution is permitted only in or among countries not thus +excluded. In such case, this License incorporates the limitation as if +written in the body of this License. + + 13. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new +versions of the Lesser 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 Library +specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and +"any later version", you have the option of following the terms and +conditions either of that version or of any later version published by +the Free Software Foundation. If the Library does not specify a +license version number, you may choose any version ever published by +the Free Software Foundation. + + 14. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Library into other free +programs whose distribution conditions are incompatible with these, +write to the author to ask for permission. For software which is +copyrighted by the Free Software Foundation, write to the Free +Software Foundation; we sometimes make exceptions for this. Our +decision will be guided by the two goals of preserving the free status +of all derivatives of our free software and of promoting the sharing +and reuse of software generally. + + NO WARRANTY + + 15. BECAUSE THE LIBRARY IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO +WARRANTY FOR THE LIBRARY, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. +EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR +OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE LIBRARY "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 +LIBRARY IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE LIBRARY PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME +THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION. + + 16. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN +WRITING WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY +AND/OR REDISTRIBUTE THE LIBRARY 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 +LIBRARY (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 LIBRARY TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER SOFTWARE), EVEN IF +SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH +DAMAGES. + + END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS diff --git a/Makefile.am b/Makefile.am index bd9125d..c5f6c2e 100644 --- a/Makefile.am +++ b/Makefile.am @@ -1,70 +1,70 @@ -## Process this file with automake to create Makefile.in -## -## $Id$ -## -## Copyright (C) 2003 - David W.

-SoundTouch is an open-source audio -processing library that allows changing the sound tempo, pitch -and playback rate parameters independently from each other, i.e.:
-Author email: oparviai 'at' iki.fi
-SoundTouch WWW page: http://www.surina.net/soundtouch
-Before compiling, notice that you can choose the sample data format -if it's desirable to use floating point sample -data instead of 16bit integers. See section "sample data format" -for more information.
-Project files for Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 and Visual C++ .NET are -supplied with the source code package. Please notice that SoundTouch -library uses processor-specific optimizations for Pentium III and AMD -processors that require a processor pack upgrade for -the Visual Studio 6.0 to be installed in order to support these -optimizations. The processor pack upgrade can be downloaded from -Microsoft site at this URL:
--http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/downloads/tools/ppack/default.aspx
-If the above URL is unavailable or removed, go -to http://msdn.microsoft.com -and perform a search with keywords processor pack.
-Visual Studio .NET supports required -instructions by default and thus doesn't require installing the -processor pack.
-To build the binaries with Visual C++ 6.0 -compiler, either run "make-win.bat" script or open the -appropriate project files in source code directories with Visual -Studio. The final executable will appear under the "SoundTouch\bin" -directory. If using the Visual Studio IDE instead of the -make-win.bat script, directories bin and -lib have to be created manually to the SoundTouch -package root for the final executables. The make-win.bat script -creates these directories automatically. -
-Also other C++ compilers than Visual C++ can be -used, but project or makefiles then have to be adapted accordingly. -Performance optimizations are written in Visual C++ compatible -syntax, they may or may not be compatible with other compilers. If -using GCC (Gnu C Compiler) compiler package such as DJGPP or Cygwin, -please see next chapter for instructions.
-The SoundTouch library can be compiled in -practically any platform supporting GNU compiler (GCC) tools. -SoundTouch have been tested with gcc version 3.3.4., but it -shouldn't be very specific about the gcc version. Assembler-level -performance optimizations for GNU platform are currently available in -x86 platforms only, they are automatically disabled and replaced with -standard C routines in other processor platforms.
-To build and install the binaries, run the -following commands in SoundTouch/ directory:
-
- ./configure -- |
-
- Configures the SoundTouch package for the local -environment. - |
-
- make -- |
-
- Builds the SoundTouch library & -SoundStretch utility. - |
-
- make install -- |
-
- Installs the SoundTouch & BPM libraries -to /usr/local/lib and SoundStretch utility to /usr/local/bin. -Please notice that 'root' privileges may be required to install the -binaries to the destination locations. - |
-
NOTE: At the time of release the SoundTouch package has been -tested -to compile in GNU/Linux platform. However, in past it's happened that -new -gcc versions aren't necessarily compatible with the assembler setttings -used in the optimized routines. If you have problems getting the -SoundTouch library compiled, try the workaround of disabling the -optimizations by editing the file "include/STTypes.h" and removing -the following definition there:
---#define ALLOW_OPTIMIZATIONS 1-
The sample data format can be chosen -between 16bit signed integer and 32bit floating point values, the -default is 32bit floating point.
- --In Windows environment, the sample data format is chosen -in file "STTypes.h" by choosing one of the following -defines:
--In GNU environment, the floating sample format is used by default, but -integer sample format can be chosen by giving the -following switch to the configure script: -
-- -./configure --enable-integer-samples-
The sample data can have either single (mono) -or double (stereo) audio channel. Stereo data is interleaved so -that every other data value is for left channel and every second -for right channel. Notice that while it'd be possible in theory -to process stereo sound as two separate mono channels, this isn't -recommended because processing the channels separately would -result in losing the phase coherency between the channels, which -consequently would ruin the stereo effect.
-Sample rates between 8000-48000Hz are -supported.
-The processing and latency constraints of -the SoundTouch library are:
-SoundTouch provides three seemingly -independent effects: tempo, pitch and playback rate control. -These three controls are implemented as combination of two primary -effects, sample rate transposing and time-stretching.
-Sample rate transposing affects -both the audio stream duration and pitch. It's implemented simply -by converting the original audio sample stream to the desired -duration by interpolating from the original audio samples. In -SoundTouch, linear interpolation with anti-alias filtering is -used. Theoretically a higher-order interpolation provide better -result than 1st order linear interpolation, but in audio -application linear interpolation together with anti-alias -filtering performs subjectively about as well as higher-order -filtering would.
-Time-stretching means changing -the audio stream duration without affecting it's pitch. SoundTouch -uses WSOLA-like time-stretching routines that operate in the time -domain. Compared to sample rate transposing, time-stretching is a -much heavier operation and also requires a longer processing -"window" of sound samples used by the -processing algorithm, thus increasing the algorithm input/output -latency. Typical i/o latency for the SoundTouch -time-stretch algorithm is around 100 ms.
-Sample rate transposing and time-stretching -are then used together to produce the tempo, pitch and rate -controls:
-The time-stretch algorithm has few -parameters that can be tuned to optimize sound quality for -certain application. The current default parameters have been -chosen by iterative if-then analysis (read: "trial and error") -to obtain best subjective sound quality in pop/rock music -processing, but in applications processing different kind of -sound the default parameter set may result into a sub-optimal -result.
-The time-stretch algorithm default -parameter values are set by these #defines in file "TDStretch.h":
---#define DEFAULT_SEQUENCE_MS 82 -#define DEFAULT_SEEKWINDOW_MS 28 -#define DEFAULT_OVERLAP_MS 12-
These parameters affect to the time-stretch -algorithm as follows:
-Notice that these parameters can also be -set during execution time with functions "TDStretch::setParameters()" -and "SoundTouch::setSetting()".
-The table below summarizes how the -parameters can be adjusted for different applications:
-| Parameter name | -Default value -magnitude | -Larger value -affects... | -Smaller value -affects... | -Music | -Speech | -Effect in CPU burden | -
- SEQUENCE_MS- |
- Default value is relatively -large, chosen for slowing down music tempo | -Larger value is usually -better for slowing down tempo. Growing the value decelerates the -"echoing" artifact when slowing down the tempo. | -Smaller value might be better -for speeding up tempo. Reducing the value accelerates the "echoing" -artifact when slowing down the tempo | -Default value usually good | -A smaller value than default -might be better | -Increasing the parameter -value reduces computation burden | -
- SEEKWINDOW_MS- |
- Default value is relatively -large, chosen for slowing down music tempo | -Larger value eases finding a -good mixing position, but may cause a "drifting" artifact | -Smaller reduce possibility to -find a good mixing position, but reduce the "drifting" artifact. | -Default value usually good, -unless a "drifting" artifact is disturbing. | -Default value usually good | -Increasing the parameter -value increases computation burden | -
- OVERLAP_MS- |
- Default value is relatively -large, chosen to suit with above parameters. | -- | If you reduce the "sequence -ms" setting, you might wish to try a smaller value. | -- | - | Increasing the parameter -value increases computation burden | -
General optimizations:
-The time-stretch routine has a 'quick' mode -that substantially speeds up the algorithm but may degrade the -sound quality by a small amount. This mode is activated by -calling SoundTouch::setSetting() function with parameter id -of SETTING_USE_QUICKSEEK and value "1", i.e.
---setSetting(SETTING_USE_QUICKSEEK, 1);
-
CPU-specific optimizations:
-SoundStretch audio processing utility
-Copyright (c) Olli Parviainen 2002-2005
SoundStretch is a simple command-line -application that can change tempo, pitch and playback rates of -WAV sound files. This program is intended primarily to -demonstrate how the "SoundTouch" library can be used to -process sound in your own program, but it can as well be used for -processing sound files.
-SoundStretch Usage syntax:
---soundstretch infile.wav outfile.wav [switches]-
Where:
-
- "infile.wav"- |
- is the name of the input sound -data file (in .WAV audio file format). | -
- "outfile.wav"- |
- is the name of the output sound -file where the resulting sound is saved (in .WAV audio file format). -This parameter may be omitted if you don't want to save the -output -(e.g. when only calculating BPM rate with '-bpm' switch). | -
- [switches]- |
- Are one or more control -switches. | -
Available control switches are:
-
- -tempo=n- |
- Change the sound tempo by n -percents (n = -95.0 .. +5000.0 %) | -
- -pitch=n- |
- Change the sound pitch by n -semitones (n = -60.0 .. + 60.0 semitones) | -
- -rate=n- |
- Change the sound playback rate by -n percents (n = -95.0 .. +5000.0 %) | -
- -bpm=n- |
- Detect the Beats-Per-Minute -(BPM) rate of the sound and adjust the tempo to meet 'n' BPMs. If this -switch is defined, the "-tempo=n" switch value is ignored. If "=n" is -omitted, i.e. switch "-bpm" is used alone, the program just calculates -and displays the BPM rate but doesn't adjust tempo according to the BPM -value. | -
- -quick- |
- Use quicker tempo change -algorithm. Gains speed but loses sound quality. | -
- -naa- |
- Don't use anti-alias -filtering in sample rate transposing. Gains speed but loses sound -quality. | -
- -license- |
- Displays the program license -text (LGPL) | -
Notes:
-Example 1
-The following command increases tempo of -the sound file "originalfile.wav" by 12.5% and saves -result to file "destinationfile.wav":
---soundstretch originalfile.wav destinationfile.wav -tempo=12.5-
Example 2
-The following command decreases the sound -pitch (key) of the sound file "orig.wav" by two -semitones and saves the result to file "dest.wav":
---soundstretch orig.wav dest.wav -pitch=-2-
Example 3
-The following command processes the file "orig.wav" by decreasing the sound tempo by 25.3% and -increasing the sound pitch (key) by 1.5 semitones. Result is -saved to file "dest.wav":
---soundstretch orig.wav dest.wav -tempo=-25.3 -pitch=1.5-
Example 4
-The following command detects the BPM rate -of the file "orig.wav" and adjusts the tempo to match -100 beats per minute. Result is saved to file "dest.wav":
---soundstretch orig.wav dest.wav -bpm=100-

+The SoundTouch library can be compiled in +practically any platform supporting GNU compiler (GCC) tools. +SoundTouch have been tested with gcc version 3.3.4., but it +shouldn't be very specific about the gcc version. Assembler-level +performance optimiations for GNU platform are currently available in +x86 platforms only, they are automatically disabled and replaced with +standard C routines in other processor platforms.
+To build and install the binaries, run the +following commands in SoundTouch/ directory:
+
+ ./configure -+ |
+
+ Configures the SoundTouch package for the local +environment. + |
+
+ make -+ |
+
+ Builds the SoundTouch library & +SoundStretch utility. + |
+
+ make install -+ |
+
+ Installs the SoundTouch & BPM libraries +to /usr/local/lib and SoundStretch utility to /usr/local/bin. +Please notice that 'root' privileges may be required to install the +binaries to the destination locations. + |
+
NOTE: At the time of release the SoundTouch package has been +tested +to compile in GNU/Linux platform. However, in past it's happened that +new +gcc versions aren't necessarily compatible with the assembler setttings +used in the optimied routines. If you have problems getting the +SoundTouch library compiled, try the workaround of disabling the +optimiations by editing the file "include/STTypes.h" and removing +the following definition there:
+++#define ALLOW_OPTIMIZATIONS 1+
The sample data format can be chosen +between 16bit signed integer and 32bit floating point values, the +default is 32bit floating point.
+ ++In Windows environment, the sample data format is chosen +in file "STTypes.h" by choosing one of the following +defines:
++In GNU environment, the floating sample format is used by default, but +integer sample format can be chosen by giving the +following switch to the configure script: +
++ +./configure --enable-integer-samples+
The sample data can have either single (mono) +or double (stereo) audio channel. Stereo data is interleaved so +that every other data value is for left channel and every second +for right channel. Notice that while it'd be possible in theory +to process stereo sound as two separate mono channels, this isn't +recommended because processing the channels separately would +result in losing the phase coherency between the channels, which +consequently would ruin the stereo effect.
+Sample rates between 8000-48000H are +supported.
+The processing and latency constraints of +the SoundTouch library are:
+SoundTouch provides three seemingly +independent effects: tempo, pitch and playback rate control. +These three controls are implemented as combination of two primary +effects, sample rate transposing and time-stretching.
+Sample rate transposing affects +both the audio stream duration and pitch. It's implemented simply +by converting the original audio sample stream to the desired +duration by interpolating from the original audio samples. In +SoundTouch, linear interpolation with anti-alias filtering is +used. Theoretically a higher-order interpolation provide better +result than 1st order linear interpolation, but in audio +application linear interpolation together with anti-alias +filtering performs subjectively about as well as higher-order +filtering would.
+Time-stretching means changing +the audio stream duration without affecting it's pitch. SoundTouch +uses WSOLA-like time-stretching routines that operate in the time +domain. Compared to sample rate transposing, time-stretching is a +much heavier operation and also requires a longer processing +"window" of sound samples used by the +processing algorithm, thus increasing the algorithm input/output +latency. Typical i/o latency for the SoundTouch +time-stretch algorithm is around 100 ms.
+Sample rate transposing and time-stretching +are then used together to produce the tempo, pitch and rate +controls:
+The time-stretch algorithm has few +parameters that can be tuned to optimie sound quality for +certain application. The current default parameters have been +chosen by iterative if-then analysis (read: "trial and error") +to obtain best subjective sound quality in pop/rock music +processing, but in applications processing different kind of +sound the default parameter set may result into a sub-optimal +result.
+The time-stretch algorithm default +parameter values are set by these #defines in file "TDStretch.h":
+++#define DEFAULT_SEQUENCE_MS 82 +#define DEFAULT_SEEKWINDOW_MS 28 +#define DEFAULT_OVERLAP_MS 12+
These parameters affect to the time-stretch +algorithm as follows:
+Notice that these parameters can also be +set during execution time with functions "TDStretch::setParameters()" +and "SoundTouch::setSetting()".
+The table below summaries how the +parameters can be adjusted for different applications:
+| Parameter name | +Default value +magnitude | +Larger value +affects... | +Smaller value +affects... | +Music | +Speech | +Effect in CPU burden | +
+ SEQUENCE_MS+ |
+ Default value is relatively +large, chosen for slowing down music tempo | +Larger value is usually +better for slowing down tempo. Growing the value decelerates the +"echoing" artifact when slowing down the tempo. | +Smaller value might be better +for speeding up tempo. Reducing the value accelerates the "echoing" +artifact when slowing down the tempo | +Default value usually good | +A smaller value than default +might be better | +Increasing the parameter +value reduces computation burden | +
+ SEEKWINDOW_MS+ |
+ Default value is relatively +large, chosen for slowing down music tempo | +Larger value eases finding a +good mixing position, but may cause a "drifting" artifact | +Smaller reduce possibility to +find a good mixing position, but reduce the "drifting" artifact. | +Default value usually good, +unless a "drifting" artifact is disturbing. | +Default value usually good | +Increasing the parameter +value increases computation burden | +
+ OVERLAP_MS+ |
+ Default value is relatively +large, chosen to suit with above parameters. | ++ | If you reduce the "sequence +ms" setting, you might wish to try a smaller value. | ++ | + | Increasing the parameter +value increases computation burden | +
General optimiations:
+The time-stretch routine has a 'quick' mode +that substantially speeds up the algorithm but may degrade the +sound quality by a small amount. This mode is activated by +calling SoundTouch::setSetting() function with parameter id +of SETTING_USE_QUICKSEEK and value "1", i.e.
+++setSetting(SETTING_USE_QUICKSEEK, 1);
+

+SoundStretch audio processing utility
+Copyright (c) Olli Parviainen 2002-2005
SoundStretch is a simple command-line +application that can change tempo, pitch and playback rates of +WAV sound files. This program is intended primarily to +demonstrate how the "SoundTouch" library can be used to +process sound in your own program, but it can as well be used for +processing sound files.
+SoundStretch Usage syntax:
+++soundstretch infile.wav outfile.wav [switches]+
Where:
+
+ "infile.wav"+ |
+ is the name of the input sound +data file (in .WAV audio file format). | +
+ "outfile.wav"+ |
+ is the name of the output sound +file where the resulting sound is saved (in .WAV audio file format). +This parameter may be omitted if you don't want to save the +output +(e.g. when only calculating BPM rate with '-bpm' switch). | +
+ [switches]+ |
+ Are one or more control +switches. | +
Available control switches are:
+
+ -tempo=n+ |
+ Change the sound tempo by n +percents (n = -95.0 .. +5000.0 %) | +
+ -pitch=n+ |
+ Change the sound pitch by n +semitones (n = -60.0 .. + 60.0 semitones) | +
+ -rate=n+ |
+ Change the sound playback rate by +n percents (n = -95.0 .. +5000.0 %) | +
+ -bpm=n+ |
+ Detect the Beats-Per-Minute +(BPM) rate of the sound and adjust the tempo to meet 'n' BPMs. If this +switch is defined, the "-tempo=n" switch value is ignored. If "=n" is +omitted, i.e. switch "-bpm" is used alone, the program just calculates +and displays the BPM rate but doesn't adjust tempo according to the BPM +value. | +
+ -quick+ |
+ Use quicker tempo change +algorithm. Gains speed but loses sound quality. | +
+ -naa+ |
+ Don't use anti-alias +filtering in sample rate transposing. Gains speed but loses sound +quality. | +
+ -license+ |
+ Displays the program license +text (LGPL) | +
Notes:
+Example 1
+The following command increases tempo of +the sound file "originalfile.wav" by 12.5% and saves +result to file "destinationfile.wav":
+++soundstretch originalfile.wav destinationfile.wav -tempo=12.5+
Example 2
+The following command decreases the sound +pitch (key) of the sound file "orig.wav" by two +semitones and saves the result to file "dest.wav":
+++soundstretch orig.wav dest.wav -pitch=-2+
Example 3
+The following command processes the file "orig.wav" by decreasing the sound tempo by 25.3% and +increasing the sound pitch (key) by 1.5 semitones. Result is +saved to file "dest.wav":
+++soundstretch orig.wav dest.wav -tempo=-25.3 -pitch=1.5+
Example 4
+The following command detects the BPM rate +of the file "orig.wav" and adjusts the tempo to match +100 beats per minute. Result is saved to file "dest.wav":
+++soundstretch orig.wav dest.wav -bpm=100+
