<p>Lesser General Public License For Linguistic Resources</p>
9+
</title>
10+
11+
<p>Preamble</p>
12+
<p>The licenses for most data are designed to take away your freedom to share and change it. By contrast,
13+
this License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free data--to make sure the
14+
data are free for all their users.</p>
15+
<p>This License, the Lesser General Public License for Linguistic Resources, applies to some specially
16+
designated linguistic resources -- typically lexicons and grammars.</p>
17+
<p>TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION</p>
18+
19+
<list>
20+
<li>
21+
<b>0.</b>
22+
<p>This License Agreement applies to any Linguistic Resource which contains a notice placed by the
23+
copyright holder or other authorized party saying it may be distributed under the terms of
24+
this Lesser General Public License for Linguistic Resources (also called &quot;this
25+
License&quot;). Each licensee is addressed as &quot;you&quot;.</p>
26+
<p>A &quot;linguistic resource&quot; means a collection of data about language prepared so as to be
27+
used with application programs.</p>
28+
<p>The &quot;Linguistic Resource&quot;, below, refers to any such work which has been distributed
29+
under these terms. A &quot;work based on the Linguistic Resource&quot; means either the
30+
Linguistic Resource or any derivative work under copyright law: that is to say, a work
31+
containing the Linguistic Resource or a portion of it, either verbatim or with modifications
32+
and/or translated straightforwardly into another language. (Hereinafter, translation is
33+
included without limitation in the term &quot;modification&quot;.)</p>
34+
<p>&quot;Legible form&quot; for a linguistic resource means the preferred form of the resource for
35+
making modifications to it.</p>
36+
<p>Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not covered by this License;
37+
they are outside its scope. The act of running a program using the Linguistic Resource is not
38+
restricted, and output from such a program is covered only if its contents constitute a work
39+
based on the Linguistic Resource (independent of the use of the Linguistic Resource in a tool
40+
for writing it). Whether that is true depends on what the program that uses the Linguistic
41+
Resource does.</p>
42+
</li>
43+
<li>
44+
<b>1.</b>
45+
<p>You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Linguistic Resource as you receive it, in any
46+
medium, provided that you conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate
47+
copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the notices that refer to this
48+
License and to the absence of any warranty; and distribute a copy of this License along with
49+
the Linguistic Resource.</p>
50+
<p>You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and you may at your option
51+
offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee.</p>
52+
</li>
53+
<li>
54+
<b>2.</b>
55+
<p>You may modify your copy or copies of the Linguistic Resource or any portion of it, thus forming
56+
a work based on the Linguistic Resource, and copy and distribute such modifications or work
57+
under the terms of Section 1 above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:</p>
58+
<list>
59+
<li>
60+
<b>a)</b>
61+
<p>The modified work must itself be a linguistic resource.</p>
62+
</li>
63+
<li>
64+
<b>b)</b>
65+
<p>You must cause the files modified to carry prominent notices stating that you changed the
66+
files and the date of any change.</p>
67+
</li>
68+
<li>
69+
<b>c)</b>
70+
<p>You must cause the whole of the work to be licensed at no charge to all third parties under
71+
the terms of this License.</p>
72+
</li>
73+
</list>
74+
<p>These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If identifiable sections of that
75+
work are not derived from the Linguistic Resource, and can be reasonably considered
76+
independent and separate works in themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not
77+
apply to those sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you
78+
distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based on the Linguistic
79+
Resource, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of this License, whose
80+
permissions for other licensees extend to the entire whole, and thus to each and every
81+
part regardless of who wrote it.</p>
82+
<p>Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest your rights to work
83+
written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to exercise the right to control the
84+
distribution of derivative or collective works based on the Linguistic Resource.</p>
85+
<p>In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Linguistic Resource with the
86+
Linguistic Resource (or with a work based on the Linguistic Resource) on a volume of a
87+
storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under the scope of this
88+
License.</p>
89+
</li>
90+
<li>
91+
<b>3.</b>
92+
<p>A program that contains no derivative of any portion of the Linguistic Resource, but is designed
93+
to work with the Linguistic Resource (or an encrypted form of the Linguistic Resource) by
94+
reading it or being compiled or linked with it, is called a &quot;work that uses the
95+
Linguistic Resource&quot;. Such a work, in isolation, is not a derivative work of the
96+
Linguistic Resource, and therefore falls outside the scope of this License.</p>
97+
<p>However, combining a &quot;work that uses the Linguistic Resource&quot; with the Linguistic
98+
Resource (or an encrypted form of the Linguistic Resource) creates a package that is a
99+
derivative of the Linguistic Resource (because it contains portions of the Linguistic
100+
Resource), rather than a &quot;work that uses the Linguistic Resource&quot;. If the package is
101+
a derivative of the Linguistic Resource, you may distribute the package under the terms of
102+
Section 4. Any works containing that package also fall under Section 4.</p>
103+
</li>
104+
<li>
105+
<b>4.</b>
106+
<p>As an exception to the Sections above, you may also combine a &quot;work that uses the Linguistic
107+
Resource&quot; with the Linguistic Resource (or an encrypted form of the Linguistic Resource)
108+
to produce a package containing portions of the Linguistic Resource, and distribute that
109+
package under terms of your choice, provided that the terms permit modification of the package
110+
for the customer&apos;s own use and reverse engineering for debugging such modifications.</p>
111+
<p>You must give prominent notice with each copy of the package that the Linguistic Resource is used
112+
in it and that the Linguistic Resource and its use are covered by this License. You must
113+
supply a copy of this License. If the package during execution displays copyright notices, you
114+
must include the copyright notice for the Linguistic Resource among them, as well as a
115+
reference directing the user to the copy of this License. Also, you must do one of these
116+
things:</p>
117+
<list>
118+
<li>
119+
<b>a)</b>
120+
<p>Accompany the package with the complete corresponding machine-readable legible form of the
121+
Linguistic Resource including whatever changes were used in the package (which must be
122+
distributed under Sections 1 and 2 above); and, if the package contains an encrypted form
123+
of the Linguistic Resource, with the complete machine-readable &quot;work that uses the
124+
Linguistic Resource&quot;, as object code and/or source code, so that the user can modify
125+
the Linguistic Resource and then encrypt it to produce a modified package containing the
126+
modified Linguistic Resource.</p>
127+
</li>
128+
<li>
129+
<b>b)</b>
130+
<p>Use a suitable mechanism for combining with the Linguistic Resource. A suitable mechanism is
131+
one that will operate properly with a modified version of the Linguistic Resource, if the
132+
user installs one, as long as the modified version is interface-compatible with the
133+
version that the package was made with.</p>
134+
</li>
135+
<li>
136+
<b>c)</b>
137+
<p>Accompany the package with a written offer, valid for at least three years, to give the same
138+
user the materials specified in Subsection 4a, above, for a charge no more than the cost
139+
of performing this distribution.</p>
140+
</li>
141+
<li>
142+
<b>d)</b>
143+
<p>If distribution of the package is made by offering access to copy from a designated place,
144+
offer equivalent access to copy the above specified materials from the same place.</p>
145+
</li>
146+
<li>
147+
<b>e)</b>
148+
<p>Verify that the user has already received a copy of these materials or that you have already
149+
sent this user a copy.</p>
150+
</li>
151+
</list>
152+
<p>If the package includes an encrypted form of the Linguistic Resource, the required form of
153+
the &quot;work that uses the Linguistic Resource&quot; must include any data and utility
154+
programs needed for reproducing the package from it. However, as a special exception, the
155+
materials to be distributed need not include anything that is normally distributed (in
156+
either source or binary form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of
157+
the operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component itself
158+
accompanies the executable.</p>
159+
<p>It may happen that this requirement contradicts the license restrictions of proprietary
160+
libraries that do not normally accompany the operating system. Such a contradiction means
161+
you cannot use both them and the Linguistic Resource together in a package that you
162+
distribute.</p>
163+
</li>
164+
<li>
165+
<b>5.</b>
166+
<p>You may not copy, modify, sublicense, link with, or distribute the Linguistic Resource except as
167+
expressly provided under this License. Any attempt otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense, link
168+
with, or distribute the Linguistic Resource is void, and will automatically terminate your
169+
rights under this License. However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you
170+
under this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such parties remain in
171+
full compliance.</p>
172+
</li>
173+
<li>
174+
<b>6.</b>
175+
<p>You are not required to accept this License, since you have not signed it. However, nothing else
176+
grants you permission to modify or distribute the Linguistic Resource or its derivative works.
177+
These actions are prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by modifying
178+
or distributing the Linguistic Resource (or any work based on the Linguistic Resource), you
179+
indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and all its terms and conditions for
180+
copying, distributing or modifying the Linguistic Resource or works based on it.</p>
181+
</li>
182+
<li>
183+
<b>7.</b>
184+
<p>Each time you redistribute the Linguistic Resource (or any work based on the Linguistic
185+
Resource), the recipient automatically receives a license from the original licensor to copy,
186+
distribute, link with or modify the Linguistic Resource subject to these terms and conditions.
187+
You may not impose any further restrictions on the recipients&apos; exercise of the rights
188+
granted herein. You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties with this
189+
License.</p>
190+
</li>
191+
<li>
192+
<b>8.</b>
193+
<p>If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent infringement or for any other
194+
reason (not limited to patent issues), conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order,
195+
agreement or otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not excuse you
196+
from the conditions of this License. If you cannot distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously
197+
your obligations under this License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence
198+
you may not distribute the Linguistic Resource at all. For example, if a patent license would
199+
not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Linguistic Resource by all those who receive
200+
copies directly or indirectly through you, then the only way you could satisfy both it and
201+
this License would be to refrain entirely from distribution of the Linguistic Resource.</p>
202+
<p>If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under any particular
203+
circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to apply, and the section as a whole is
204+
intended to apply in other circumstances.</p>
205+
<p>It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any patents or other property
206+
right claims or to contest validity of any such claims; this section has the sole purpose of
207+
protecting the integrity of the free resource distribution system which is implemented by
208+
public license practices. Many people have made generous contributions to the wide range of
209+
data distributed through that system in reliance on consistent application of that system; it
210+
is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing to distribute resources through
211+
any other system and a licensee cannot impose that choice.</p>
212+
<p>This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to be a consequence of the
213+
rest of this License.</p>
214+
</li>
215+
<li>
216+
<b>9.</b>
217+
<p>If the distribution and/or use of the Linguistic Resource is restricted in certain countries
218+
either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the original copyright holder who places the
219+
Linguistic Resource under this License may add an explicit geographical distribution
220+
limitation excluding those countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among
221+
countries not thus excluded. In such case, this License incorporates the limitation as if
222+
written in the body of this License.</p>
223+
</li>
224+
<li>
225+
<b>10.</b>
226+
<p>The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of the Lesser General Public
227+
License for Linguistic Resources from time to time. Such new versions will be similar in
228+
spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to address new problems or
229+
concerns.</p>
230+
<p>Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Linguistic Resource specifies a
231+
version number of this License which applies to it and &quot;any later version&quot;, you have
232+
the option of following the terms and conditions either of that version or of any later
233+
version published by the Free Software Foundation. If the Linguistic Resource does not specify
234+
a license version number, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software
235+
Foundation.</p>
236+
</li>
237+
<li>
238+
<b>11.</b>
239+
<p>If you wish to incorporate parts of the Linguistic Resource into other free programs whose
240+
distribution conditions are incompatible with these, write to the author to ask for
241+
permission.</p>
242+
<p>NO WARRANTY</p>
243+
</li>
244+
<li>
245+
<b>12.</b>
246+
<p>BECAUSE THE LINGUISTIC RESOURCE IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE
247+
LINGUISTIC RESOURCE, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED
248+
IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE LINGUISTIC RESOURCE &quot;AS

IS&quot; WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED
250+
TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE

CORRECTION.</p>

<p>IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER,
