-Portions of this program (namely the C unicode string -sorter) are derived from IBM's ICU: - -http://oss.software.ibm.com/icu/ - -whose copyright and license follows the GPL below. - -The GNU General Public License (GPL) -Version 2, June 1991 - -Copyright (C) 1989, 1991 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. - -Preamble - -The licenses for most software are designed to take away -your freedom to share and change it. By contrast, the GNU -General Public License is intended to guarantee your freedom -to share and change free software--to make sure the software -is free for all its users. This General Public License -applies to most of the Free Software Foundation's software -and to any other program whose authors commit to using -it. (Some other Free Software Foundation software is covered -by the GNU Library General Public License instead.) You can -apply it to your programs, too. - -When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, -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 or use pieces of it in new free -programs; and that you know you can do these things. - -To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that -forbid anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to -surrender the rights. These restrictions translate to -certain responsibilities for you if you distribute copies of -the software, or if you modify it. - -For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, -whether gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients -all the rights that you have. You must make sure that they, -too, receive or can get the source code. And you must show -them these terms so they know their rights. - -We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the -software, and (2) offer you this license which gives you -legal permission to copy, distribute and/or modify the -software. - -Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make -certain that everyone understands that there is no warranty -for this free software. If the software is modified by -someone else and passed on, we want its recipients to know -that what they have is not the original, so that any -problems introduced by others will not reflect on the -original authors' reputations. - -Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by -software patents. We wish to avoid the danger that -redistributors of a free program will individually obtain -patent licenses, in effect making the program -proprietary. To prevent this, we have made it clear that any -patent must be licensed for everyone's free use or not -licensed at all. - -The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution -and modification follow. - -TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION - -0. This License applies to any program or other work which -contains a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it -may be distributed under the terms of this General Public -License. The "Program", below, refers to any such program or -work, and a "work based on the Program" means either the -Program or any derivative work under copyright law: that is -to say, a work containing the Program or a portion of it, -either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated into -another language. (Hereinafter, translation is included -without limitation in the term "modification".) Each -licensee is addressed as "you". - -Activities other than copying, distribution and modification -are not covered by this License; they are outside its -scope. The act of running the Program is not restricted, and -the output from the Program is covered only if its contents -constitute a work based on the Program (independent of -having been made by running the Program). Whether that is -true depends on what the Program does. - -1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the -Program's 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 give any -other recipients of the Program a copy of this License along -with the Program. - -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 Program or any -portion of it, thus forming a work based on the Program, 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) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent -notices stating that you changed the files and the date of -any change. - - b) You must cause any work that you distribute or -publish, that in whole or in part contains or is derived -from the Program or any part thereof, to be licensed as a -whole at no charge to all third parties under the terms of -this License. - - c) If the modified program normally reads commands -interactively when run, you must cause it, when started -running for such interactive use in the most ordinary way, -to print or display an announcement including an appropriate -copyright notice and a notice that there is no warranty (or -else, saying that you provide a warranty) and that users may -redistribute the program under these conditions, and telling -the user how to view a copy of this License. (Exception: if -the Program itself is interactive but does not normally -print such an announcement, your work based on the Program -is not required to print an announcement.) - -These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If -identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the -Program, 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 -Program, 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 -Program. - -In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on -the Program with the Program (or with a work based on the -Program) on a volume of a storage or distribution medium -does not bring the other work under the scope of this -License. - -3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based -on it, under Section 2) in object code or executable form -under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you -also do one of the following: - - a) 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; or, - - b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least -three years, to give any third party, for a charge no more -than your cost of physically performing source distribution, -a complete machine-readable copy of the corresponding source -code, to be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 -above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; -or, - - c) Accompany it with the information you received as to -the offer to distribute corresponding source code. (This -alternative is allowed only for noncommercial distribution -and only if you received the program in object code or -executable form with such an offer, in accord with -Subsection b above.) - -The source code for a work means the preferred form of the -work for making modifications to it. For an executable work, -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 executable. However, as -a special exception, the source code 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. - -If distribution of executable or 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 counts as distribution of the source code, even -though third parties are not compelled to copy the source -along with the object code. - -4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the -Program except as expressly provided under this License. Any -attempt otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute -the Program 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. - -5. 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 Program or its -derivative works. These actions are prohibited by law if you -do not accept this License. Therefore, by modifying or -distributing the Program (or any work based on the Program), -you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and -all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or -modifying the Program or works based on it. - -6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based -on the Program), the recipient automatically receives a -license from the original licensor to copy, distribute or -modify the Program 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 to this License. - -7. 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 Program at all. For -example, if a patent license would not permit royalty-free -redistribution of the Program 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 Program. - -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. - -8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is -restricted in certain countries either by patents or by -copyrighted interfaces, the original copyright holder who -places the Program 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. - -9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or -new versions of the 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 Program 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 Program does not specify a version number -of this License, you may choose any version ever published -by the Free Software Foundation. - -10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into -other free programs whose distribution conditions are -different, 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 - -11. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS -NO WARRANTY FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY -APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE -COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE PROGRAM -"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 PROGRAM IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE PROGRAM PROVE -DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, -REPAIR OR CORRECTION. - -12. 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 PROGRAM 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 PROGRAM (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 -PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH -HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF -SUCH DAMAGES. - -END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS - - - -ICU License - ICU 1.8.1 and later -COPYRIGHT AND PERMISSION NOTICE - -Copyright (c) 1995-2003 International Business Machines -Corporation and others All rights reserved. - -Permission is hereby granted, free of charge, to any person -obtaining a copy of this software and associated -documentation files (the "Software"), to deal in the -Software without restriction, including without limitation -the rights to use, copy, modify, merge, publish, distribute, -and/or sell copies of the Software, and to permit persons to -whom the Software is furnished to do so, provided that the -above copyright notice(s) and this permission notice appear -in all copies of the Software and that both the above -copyright notice(s) and this permission notice appear in -supporting documentation. - -THE SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED "AS IS", WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY -KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE -WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR -PURPOSE AND NONINFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS.
