<h2 class="western" lang="en-US"><a name="SEC2"/>Preamble</h2>
<p lang="en-US" style="MARGIN-TOP: 0.49cm; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0.49cm">The licenses for most data are designed to take away your freedom to share and change it. By contrast, this License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free data--to make sure the data are free for all their users.</p>
<p lang="en-US" style="MARGIN-TOP: 0.49cm; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0.49cm">This license, the Lesser General Public License for Linguistic Resources, applies to some specially designated linguistic resources -- typically lexicons, grammars, thesauri and textual corpora.</p>
<h2 class="western" lang="en-US">
<a name="SEC3"/>TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION</h2>
<p style="MARGIN-TOP: 0.49cm; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0.49cm">
<strong>
<span lang="en-US">0.</span>
</strong>
<span lang="en-US"> This License Agreement applies to any Linguistic Resource 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 for Linguistic Resources (also called "this License"). Each licensee is addressed as "you".</span>
</p>
<p lang="en-US" style="MARGIN-TOP: 0.49cm; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0.49cm">A "linguistic resource" means a collection of data about language prepared so as to be used with application programs.</p>
<p lang="en-US" style="MARGIN-TOP: 0.49cm; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0.49cm">The "Linguistic Resource", below, refers to any such work which has been distributed under these terms. A "work based on the Linguistic Resource" means either the Linguistic Resource or any derivative work under copyright law: that is to say, a work containing the Linguistic Resource 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".)</p>
<p lang="en-US" style="MARGIN-TOP: 0.49cm; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0.49cm">"Legible form" for a linguistic resource means the preferred form of the resource for making modifications to it.</p>
<p lang="en-US" style="MARGIN-TOP: 0.49cm; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0.49cm">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 Linguistic Resource is not restricted, and output from such a program is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the Linguistic Resource (independent of the use of the Linguistic Resource in a tool for writing it). Whether that is true depends on what the program that uses the Linguistic Resource does.</p>
<p style="MARGIN-TOP: 0.49cm; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0.49cm">
<strong>
<span lang="en-US">1.</span>
</strong>
<span lang="en-US"> You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Linguistic Resource 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 Linguistic Resource. </span>
</p>
<p lang="en-US" style="MARGIN-TOP: 0.49cm; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0.49cm">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.</p>
<p style="MARGIN-TOP: 0.49cm; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0.49cm">
<strong>
<span lang="en-US">2.</span>
</strong>
<span lang="en-US"> You may modify your copy or copies of the Linguistic Resource or any portion of it, thus forming a work based on the Linguistic Resource, and copy and distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1 above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:</span>
</p>
<UL>
<li>
<p style="MARGIN-TOP: 0.49cm; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0.49cm">
<strong>
<span lang="en-US">a)</span>
</strong>
<span lang="en-US"> The modified work must itself be a linguistic resource.</span>
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p style="MARGIN-TOP: 0.49cm; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0.49cm">
<strong>
<span lang="en-US">b)</span>
</strong>
<span lang="en-US"> You must cause the files modified to carry prominent notices stating that you changed the files and the date of any change. </span>
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p style="MARGIN-TOP: 0.49cm; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0.49cm">
<strong>
<span lang="en-US">c)</span>
</strong>
<span lang="en-US"> You must cause the whole of the work to be licensed at no charge to all third parties under the terms of this License. </span>
</p>
</li>
</UL>
<p lang="en-US" style="MARGIN-TOP: 0.49cm; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0.49cm; MARGIN-LEFT: 1.27cm">These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Linguistic Resource, 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 Linguistic Resource, 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.</p>
<p lang="en-US" style="MARGIN-TOP: 0.49cm; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0.49cm; MARGIN-LEFT: 1.27cm">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 Linguistic Resource.</p>
<p lang="en-US" style="MARGIN-TOP: 0.49cm; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0.49cm; MARGIN-LEFT: 1.27cm">In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Linguistic Resource with the Linguistic Resource (or with a work based on the Linguistic Resource) on a volume of a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under the scope of this License.</p>
<p style="MARGIN-TOP: 0.49cm; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0.49cm">
<strong>
<span lang="en-US">3.</span>
</strong>
<span lang="en-US"> A program that contains no derivative of any portion of the Linguistic Resource, but is designed to work with the Linguistic Resource (or an encrypted form of the Linguistic Resource) by reading it or being compiled or linked with it, is called a "work that uses the Linguistic Resource". Such a work, in isolation, is not a derivative work of the Linguistic Resource, and therefore falls outside the scope of this License.</span>
</p>
<p lang="en-US" style="MARGIN-TOP: 0.49cm; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0.49cm">However,
combining a "work that uses the Linguistic Resource" with the Linguistic
Resource (or an encrypted form of the Linguistic Resource) creates a
package that is a derivative of the Linguistic Resource (because it
contains portions of the Linguistic Resource), rather than a "work that
uses the Linguistic Resource". If the package is a derivative of the
Linguistic Resource, you may distribute the package under the terms of
Section 4. Any works containing that package also fall under Section 4.
</p>
<p style="MARGIN-TOP: 0.49cm; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0.49cm">
<strong>
<span lang="en-US">4.</span>
</strong>
<span lang="en-US"> As an exception to the
Sections above, you may also combine a "work that uses the Linguistic
Resource" with the Linguistic Resource (or an encrypted form of the
Linguistic Resource) to produce a package containing portions of the
Linguistic Resource, and distribute that package under terms of your
choice, provided that the terms permit modification of the package for the
customer's own use and reverse engineering for debugging such
modifications. </span>
</p>
<p lang="en-US" style="MARGIN-TOP: 0.49cm; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0.49cm">You must
give prominent notice with each copy of the package that the Linguistic
Resource is used in it and that the Linguistic Resource and its use are
covered by this License. You must supply a copy of this License. If the
package during execution displays copyright notices, you must include the
copyright notice for the Linguistic Resource among them, as well as a
reference directing the user to the copy of this License. Also, you must
do one of these things: </p>
<UL>
<li>
<p style="MARGIN-TOP: 0.49cm; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0.49cm">
<strong>
<span lang="en-US">a)</span>
</strong>
<span lang="en-US"> Accompany the package
with the complete corresponding machine-readable legible form of the
Linguistic Resource including whatever changes were used in the package
(which must be distributed under Sections 1 and 2 above); and, if the
package contains an encrypted form of the Linguistic Resource, with the
complete machine-readable "work that uses the Linguistic Resource", as
object code and/or source code, so that the user can modify the
Linguistic Resource and then encrypt it to produce a modified package
containing the modified Linguistic Resource. </span>
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p style="MARGIN-TOP: 0.49cm; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0.49cm">
<strong>
<span lang="en-US">b)</span>
</strong>
<span lang="en-US"> Use a suitable mechanism
for combining with the Linguistic Resource. A suitable mechanism is one
that will operate properly with a modified version of the Linguistic
Resource, if the user installs one, as long as the modified version is
interface-compatible with the version that the package was made with.
</span>
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p style="MARGIN-TOP: 0.49cm; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0.49cm">
<strong>
<span lang="en-US">c)</span>
</strong>
<span lang="en-US"> Accompany the package
with a written offer, valid for at least three years, to give the same
user the materials specified in Subsection 4a, above, for a charge no
more than the cost of performing this distribution. </span>
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p style="MARGIN-TOP: 0.49cm; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0.49cm">
<strong>
<span lang="en-US">d)</span>
</strong>
<span lang="en-US"> If distribution of the
package is made by offering access to copy from a designated place,
offer equivalent access to copy the above specified materials from the
same place. </span>
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p style="MARGIN-TOP: 0.49cm; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0.49cm">

already received a copy of these materials or that you have already sent
this user a copy. </span>
</p>
</li>
</UL>
<p lang="en-US" style="MARGIN-TOP: 0.49cm; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0.49cm">If the
package includes an encrypted form of the Linguistic Resource, the
required form of the "work that uses the Linguistic Resource" must include
any data and utility programs needed for reproducing the package 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. </p>
<p lang="en-US" style="MARGIN-TOP: 0.49cm; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0.49cm">It may
happen that this requirement contradicts the license restrictions of
proprietary libraries that do not normally accompany the operating system.
Such a contradiction means you cannot use both them and the Linguistic
Resource together in a package that you distribute. </p>
<p style="MARGIN-TOP: 0.49cm; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0.49cm">
<strong>
<span lang="en-US">5.</span>
</strong>
<span lang="en-US"> You may not copy, modify,
sublicense, link with, or distribute the Linguistic Resource except as
expressly provided under this License. Any attempt otherwise to copy,
modify, sublicense, link with, or distribute the Linguistic Resource 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. </span>
</p>
<p style="MARGIN-TOP: 0.49cm; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0.49cm">
<strong>
<span lang="en-US">6.</span>
</strong>
<span lang="en-US"> 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 Linguistic Resource or
its derivative works. These actions are prohibited by law if you do not
accept this License. Therefore, by modifying or distributing the
Linguistic Resource (or any work based on the Linguistic Resource), you
indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and all its terms and
conditions for copying, distributing or modifying the Linguistic Resource
or works based on it. </span>
</p>
<p style="MARGIN-TOP: 0.49cm; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0.49cm">
<strong>
<span lang="en-US">7.</span>
</strong>
<span lang="en-US"> Each time you redistribute
the Linguistic Resource (or any work based on the Linguistic Resource),
the recipient automatically receives a license from the original licensor
to copy, distribute, link with or modify the Linguistic Resource 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.
</span>
</p>
<p style="MARGIN-TOP: 0.49cm; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0.49cm">
<strong>
<span lang="en-US">8.</span>
</strong>
<span lang="en-US"> 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 Linguistic Resource at
all. For example, if a patent license would not permit royalty-free
redistribution of the Linguistic Resource 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 Linguistic Resource. </span>
</p>
<p lang="en-US" style="MARGIN-TOP: 0.49cm; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0.49cm">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.
</p>
<p lang="en-US" style="MARGIN-TOP: 0.49cm; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0.49cm">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
resource distribution system which is implemented by public license
practices. Many people have made generous contributions to the wide range
of data 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 resources through any other system and a
licensee cannot impose that choice. </p>
<p lang="en-US" style="MARGIN-TOP: 0.49cm; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0.49cm">This
section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to be a
consequence of the rest of this License. </p>

<strong>
<span lang="en-US">9.</span>
</strong>
<span lang="en-US"> If the distribution and/or
use of the Linguistic Resource is restricted in certain countries either
by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the original copyright holder who
places the Linguistic Resource 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. </span>

<span lang="en-US"> The Free Software
Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of the Lesser General
Public License for Linguistic Resources 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. </span>
</p>
<p lang="en-US" style="MARGIN-TOP: 0.49cm; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0.49cm">Each
version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Linguistic
Resource 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 Linguistic Resource does not specify a
license version number, you may choose any version ever published by the
Free Software Foundation. </p>
