# Manj splošno javno dovoljenje GNU

## Predgovor

Dovoljenja večine programske opreme so zasnovana tako, da preprečujejo njegovo svobodno razširjanje in spreminjanje. Za razliko od teh pa splošna javna dovoljenja GNU (angl. GNU General Public License, GPL) jamčijo svobodo pri razširjanju in spreminjanju proste programske opreme ter s tem zagotovljajo, da ostane ta prosta za vse njene uporabnike.

Ko govorimo o prosti programski opremi, imamo s tem v mislih svobodo, ne cene. Splošna Javna dovoljenja GNU zagotavlja pravico razširjanja kopij proste programske opreme (in po želji zaračunavati za to storitev); pravico do dostopa do izvorne kode; pravico spreminjanja programske opreme ali uporabljanje njenih delov v novi prosti programski opremi; in seznanjanje z vsemi temi pravicami.

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.

Ko govorimo o prosti programski opremi, imamo s tem v mislih svobodo, ne cene. Splošna javna dovoljenja GNU zagotavlja pravico razširjanja kopij proste programske opreme (in po želji zaračunavati za to storitev); pravico do dostopa do izvorne kode; pravico spreminjanja programske opreme ali uporabljanje njenih delov v novi prosti programski opremi; in seznanjanje z vsemi temi pravicami.

Zaradi zavarovanja vaših pravic je uvedena omejitev, ki prepoveduje vsakomur, da bi vam te pravice kratil ali od vas zahteval predajo teh pravic. Te omejitve se prevedejo v vašo odgovornost, če razširjate kopije programske opreme ali jo spreminjate.

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.

Vaše pravice ščitimo v dveh potezah: (1) avtorsko zaščitimo knjižnico in (2) vam ponujamo dovoljenje, ki vam daje pravno dovoljenje za razmnoževanje, razširjanje in/ali spreminjanje knjižnice.

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.

## Določila in pogoji za razmnoževanje, razširjanje in spreminjanje

### Razdelek 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.

Dovoljenje ne pokriva nobenih drugih dejavnosti razen razmnoževanja, razširjanja in spreminjanja; ostale so izven njenega dosega. Dejanje zagona programa z uporabo knjižnice ni omejeno in odvodni zapis programa je zajet le, če njegova vsebina sestavlja delo, ki je izpeljano iz knjižnice (ne glede na to, da je bila pri orodju za njegovo pisanje uporabljena knjižnica). Ali je to res ali ne, je odvisno od tega, kaj knjižnica dela in kaj dela program, ki knjižnico uporablja.

### Razdelek 1

Dovoljeno je razmnoževati in razširjati dobesedne izvode izvorne kode programa v enaki obliki, kot jo dobite, preko kateregakoli nosilca, če je le na vsakem izvodu razločno in primerno objavljeno obvestilo o pravicah razširjanja in zanikanje jamstva; vsa obvestila, ki se nanašajo na to dovoljenje in odsotnost vsakršnega jamstva pustite nedotaknjena; in da prejmejo vsi drugi prejemniki programa poleg programa še izvod tega dovoljenja.

Za fizično dejanje prenosa kopije lahko zaračunavate in po vaši presoji lahko ponudite garancijsko zaščito v zameno za plačilo.

### Razdelek 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:

1. The modified work must itself be a software library.

2. You must cause the files modified to carry prominent notices stating that you changed the files and the date of any change.

3. You must cause the whole of the work to be licensed at no charge to all third parties under the terms of this License.

4. 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.

### Razdelek 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.

### Razdelek 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.

Če se razširjanje objektne kode izvede s ponujenim dostopom za prepisovanje z za to namenjenega mesta, potem ponujanje ekvivalentnega dostopa za razmnoževanje izvorne kode z istega mesta šteje kot razširjanje izvorne kode, čeprav tretje osebe niso prisiljene razmnoževati izvorne kode poleg objektne kode.

### Razdelek 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.

### Razdelek 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:

1. 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.)

2. 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.

3. 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.

4. 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.

5. Verify that the user has already received a copy of these materials or that you have already sent this user a copy.

Pri izvedljivem delu zahtevana oblika dela, ki uporablja knjižnico, mora vključevati vse podatke in pomožne programe, potrebne za ponovno izdelavo izvedljive datoteke iz nje. Vendar - kot posebna izjema - ni nujno, da razširjano gradivo vključuje vse, kar se navadno razširja (v izvorni ali strojni obliki) z večjimi komponentami (prevajalnik, jedro, in tako naprej) operacijskega sistema, na katerem teče izvedljiva datoteka, razen če ta komponenta spremlja izvedljivo datoteko.

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.

### Razdelek 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:

1. 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.

2. 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.

### Razdelek 8

Ni dovoljeno razmnoževati, spreminjati, podrejati dovoljenja ali razširjati knjižnice drugače, kot to izrecno določa pričujoče dovoljenje. Vsak drugi poskus razmnoževanja, spreminjanja, podrejanja dovoljenja ali razširjanja knjižnice je ničen, in samodejno prekine vaše pravice, izhajajoče iz tega dovoljenja. Vendar pa se osebam, ki so svoj izvod ali pravice dobile od vas pod tem dovoljenjem, dovoljenje ne prekine, dokler se ji popolnoma podrejajo.

### Razdelek 9

Ni vam treba sprejeti pogojev dovoljenja, saj ga niste podpisali. Vendar vam brez slednjega nič ne dovoljuje spreminjanja ali razširjanja knjižnice ali iz nje izpeljanih del. Če ne sprejmete tega dovoljenja, so ta dejanja prepovedana z zakonom. Torej, s spremembo ali razširjanjem knjižnice (ali kateregakoli dela, ki temelji na knjižnici) pokažete svoje strinjanje s tem dovoljenjem in z vsemi njegovimi določili in pogoji za razmnoževanje, razširjanje ali spreminjanje knjižnice ali del, ki temeljijo na njej.

### Razdelek 10

Vsakič, ko razširjate knjižnico (ali katerokoli delo, ki temelji na knjižnici), prejemnik samodejno prejme dovoljenje izvornega izdajatelja dovoljenja (angl. original licensor) za razmnoževanje, razširjanje ali spreminjanje knjižnice glede na ta določila in pogoje. Ni dovoljeno vsiljevati nobenih nadaljnjih omejitev izvajanja prejemnikovih pravic, podeljenih tukaj. Niste odgovorni za vsiljevanje strinjanja tretjih oseb s tem dovoljenjem.

### Razdelek 11

Če so vam, kot posledica presoje sodišča ali suma kršitve patenta ali iz katerega koli drugega razloga (ne omejenega zgolj na patentna vprašanja), vsiljeni pogoji (bodisi z odlokom sodišča, sporazumom ali drugače), ki nasprotujejo pogojem tega dovoljenja, vas ne odvezujejo spoštovanja pogojev tega dovoljenja. Če programa ne morete razširjati tako, da hkrati zadostite svojim obvezam pod dovoljenjem in katerim koli drugim pristojnim obvezam, potem posledično sploh ne smete razširjati knjižnice. Na primer, če patentno dovoljenje ne dovoli razširjanja knjižnice brez plačevanja avtorskega honorarja vseh, ki prejmejo kopije neposredno ali posredno od vas, potem je edina možna pot, da zadostite temu pogoju in temu dovoljenju, ta, da se v celoti vzdržite razširjanja knjižnice.

Če se za katerikoli del tega razdelka ugotovi, da je neveljaven ali da se ga ne da izvajati pod katerem koli določenim pogojem, je mišljeno, da velja usmeritev tega razdelka (angl. balance of the section) in razdelek kot celota velja v drugih primerih.

Namen tega razdelka ni, da bi vas napeljeval h kršitvi patentov ali drugih trditev lastništva pravic ali izpodbijal veljavnost katerih koli takšnih trditev; edini namen tega razdelka je ščitenje integritete sistema distribucije proste programske opreme, ki je izveden s prakso javnih dovoljenj. Mnogi ljudje so radodarno prispevali k širokemu naboru programske opreme, razširjane preko tega sistema, v upanju na njegovo dosledno izvajanje; od avtorja/dajalca je odvisno, če je pripravljen razširjati programje skozi katerikoli drug sistem, in izdajatelj dovoljenja ne more vsiljevati te izbire.

Ta razdelek namerava temeljito pojasniti, kaj so predvidene posledice nadaljevanja dovoljenja.

### Razdelek 12

Če sta razširjanje in/ali uporaba knjižnice omejena v določenih državah, bodisi zaradi patentov ali vmesnikov s posebno pravico razširjanja (angl. copyrighted interfaces), lahko izvorni lastnik ali lastnica pravic razširjanja, ki postavlja knjižnico pod to dovoljenje, doda izrecno zemljepisno omejitev razširjanja, ki izključuje te države, tako da je razširjanje dovoljeno le v in med državami, ki niso na tak način izključene. V takem primeru to dovoljenje vključuje omejitve, kot da so napisane v telesu tega dovoljenja.

### Razdelek 13

Ustanova Free Software Foundation lahko od časa do časa izdaja preurejene in/ali nove različice Manj splošnega javnega dovoljenja (angl. Lesser General Public License). Nove različice bodo pisane v duhu trenutne različice, vendar se lahko razlikujejo v podrobnostih, ki bodo obravnavale nove težave ali poglede.

Vsaki različici je prirejena razločevalna številka različice. Če knjižnica določa številko različice tega dovoljenja, ki se nanaša nanjo in na katero koli poznejšo različico, imate izbiro upoštevanja pogojev in določil bodisi te različice ali katere koli poznejše različice, ki jo je izdala ustanova Free Software Foundation. Če knjižnica ne določa številke različice tega dovoljenja, lahko izberete katero koli različico, ki jo je kdajkoli izdala ustanova Free Software Foundation.

### Razdelek 14

Če želite vključiti dele knjižnice v druge proste programe, katerih pogoji razširjanja so drugačni od teh, pišite avtorju in ga prosite za dovoljenje. Za programje, katerega pravice razširjanja ima Free Software Foundation, pišite na Free Software Foundation; včasih naredimo izjemo pri tem. Našo odločitev bosta vodila dva cilja: ohranitev prostega statusa vseh izvedenih del iz naše proste programske opreme in spodbujanje razdeljevanja in ponovne uporabe programja na splošno.

### BREZ JAMSTVA

Razdelek 15

KER JE KNJIŽNICA Z DOVOLJENJEM OPREDELJENA KOT BREZPLAČNA, NI NOBENEGA JAMSTVA ZA KNJIŽNICO DO MEJE, KI JO DOLOČA PRISTOJNI ZAKON. ČE NI DRUGAČE ZAPISANO, IMETNIKI PRAVIC RAZŠIRJANJA IN/ALI DRUGE OSEBE PONUJAJO KNJIŽNICO TAKŠNO, KOT JE, BREZ ZAGOTOVILA KAKRŠNE KOLI VRSTE, NEPOSREDNEGA ALI POSREDNEGA, KAR VKLJUČUJE, A NI OMEJENO NA POSREDNA JAMSTVA CENOVNE VREDNOSTI IN PRIMERNOSTI ZA DOLOČENO UPORABO. CELOTNO TVEGANJE GLEDE KAKOVOSTI IN DELOVANJA KNJIŽNICE PREVZAMETE SAMI. ČE SE KNJIŽNICA IZKAŽE ZA OKVARJENO, SAMI NOSITE STROŠKE VSEH POTREBNIH STORITEV, POPRAVIL ALI POPRAVKOV.

### Razdelek 16

V NOBENEM PRIMERU, RAZEN ČE TAKO PRAVI VELJAVNI ZAKON ALI JE PISNO DOGOVORJENO, NE BO LASTNIK PRAVIC RAZŠIRJANJA ALI KATERA KOLI DRUGA OSEBA, KI LAHKO SPREMENI IN/ALI PONOVNO RAZŠIRJA KNJIŽNICO, KOT JE DOVOLJENO ZGORAJ, PREVZEL ODGOVORNOSTI ZARADI ŠKODE, NAJSI GRE ZA SPLOŠNO, POSEBNO, NENAMERNO ŠKODO ALI ŠKODO, IZHAJAJOČO IZ UPORABE ALI NEZMOŽNOSTI UPORABE KNJIŽNICE (VKLJUČNO Z, A NE OMEJENO NA, IZGUBO PODATKOV ALI NENATANČNO OBDELAVO PODATKOV ALI IZGUBO, POVZROČENO VAM ALI TRETJIM OSEBAM ALI NEZMOŽNOST KNJIŽNICE, DA BI DELOVALA S KAKIM DRUGIM PROGRAMOM), ČETUDI JE BIL TAK LASTNIK ALI DRUGA OSEBA OBVEŠČEN O MOŽNOSTI NASTANKA TAKŠNE ŠKODE.
