GNU LESSER GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE

Version 3, 29 June 2007

Copyright © 2007 Free Software Foundation, Inc. <https://fsf.org/>

Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this
license document, but changing it is not allowed.

This version of the GNU Lesser General Public License incorporates the terms
and conditions of version 3 of the GNU General Public License, supplemented
by the additional permissions listed below.
0. Additional Definitions.

As used herein, “this License” refers to version 3 of the GNU Lesser General
Public License, and the “GNU GPL” refers to version 3 of the GNU General
Public License.

“The Library” refers to a covered work governed by this License, other than
an Application or a Combined Work as defined below.

An “Application” is any work that makes use of an interface provided by the
Library, but which is not otherwise based on the Library. Defining a subclass
of a class defined by the Library is deemed a mode of using an interface
provided by the Library.

A “Combined Work” is a work produced by combining or linking an Application
with the Library. The particular version of the Library with which the
Combined Work was made is also called the “Linked Version”.

The “Minimal Corresponding Source” for a Combined Work means the Corresponding
Source for the Combined Work, excluding any source code for portions of the
Combined Work that, considered in isolation, are based on the Application,
and not on the Linked Version.

The “Corresponding Application Code” for a Combined Work means the object
code and/or source code for the Application, including any data and utility
programs needed for reproducing the Combined Work from the Application, but
excluding the System Libraries of the Combined Work.

1. Exception to Section 3 of the GNU GPL.

You may convey a covered work under sections 3 and 4 of this License without
being bound by section 3 of the GNU GPL.

2. Conveying Modified Versions.

If you modify a copy of the Library, and, in your modifications, a facility
refers to a function or data to be supplied by an Application that uses the
facility (other than as an argument passed when the facility is invoked),
then you may convey a copy of the modified version:

    a) under this License, provided that you make a good faith effort to ensure
    that, in the event an Application does not supply the function or data, the f
    acility still operates, and performs whatever part of its purpose remains
    meaningful, or

    b) under the GNU GPL, with none of the additional permissions of this License
    applicable to that copy.

3. Object Code Incorporating Material from Library Header Files.

The object code form of an Application may incorporate material from a header
file that is part of the Library. You may convey such object code under terms
of your choice, provided that, if the incorporated material is not limited to
numerical parameters, data structure layouts and accessors, or small macros,
inline functions and templates (ten or fewer lines in length), you do both of
the following:

    a) Give prominent notice with each copy of the object code that the Library
    is used in it and that the Library and its use are covered by this License.

    b) Accompany the object code with a copy of the GNU GPL and this license
    document.

4. Combined Works.

You may convey a Combined Work under terms of your choice that, taken together,
effectively do not restrict modification of the portions of the Library contained
in the Combined Work and reverse engineering for debugging such modifications,
if you also do each of the following:

    a) Give prominent notice with each copy of the Combined Work that the Library
    is used in it and that the Library and its use are covered by this License.

    b) Accompany the Combined Work with a copy of the GNU GPL and this license
    document.

    c) For a Combined Work that displays copyright notices during execution,
    include the copyright notice for the Library among these notices, as well
    as a reference directing the user to the copies of the GNU GPL and this
    license document.

    d) Do one of the following:
        0) Convey the Minimal Corresponding Source under the terms of this License,
        and the Corresponding Application Code in a form suitable for, and under
        terms that permit, the user to recombine or relink the Application with a
        modified version of the Linked Version to produce a modified Combined Work,
        in the manner specified by section 6 of the GNU GPL for conveying
        Corresponding Source.

        1) Use a suitable shared library mechanism for linking with the Library.
        A suitable mechanism is one that (a) uses at run time a copy of the Library
        already present on the user's computer system, and (b) will operate properly
        with a modified version of the Library that is interface-compatible with
        the Linked Version.

    e) Provide Installation Information, but only if you would otherwise be required
    to provide such information under section 6 of the GNU GPL, and only to the
    extent that such information is necessary to install and execute a modified version
    of the Combined Work produced by recombining or relinking the Application with a
    modified version of the Linked Version. (If you use option 4d0, the Installation
    Information must accompany the Minimal Corresponding Source and Corresponding
    Application Code. If you use option 4d1, you must provide the Installation
    Information in the manner specified by section 6 of the GNU GPL for conveying
    Corresponding Source.)

5. Combined Libraries.

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 that are not Applications and are
not covered by this License, and convey such a combined library under terms of your
choice, if you do both of the following:

    a) Accompany the combined library with a copy of the same work based on the Library,
    uncombined with any other library facilities, conveyed under the terms of this License.

    b) Give prominent notice with the combined library that part of it is a work based on
    the Library, and explaining where to find the accompanying uncombined form of the same
    work.


6. Revised Versions of the GNU Lesser General Public License.

The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of the GNU 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 as you received it
specifies that a certain numbered version of the GNU Lesser General Public License
“or any later version” applies to it, you have the option of following the terms and
conditions either of that published version or of any later version published by the
Free Software Foundation. If the Library as you received it does not specify a version
number of the GNU Lesser General Public License, you may choose any version of the GNU
Lesser General Public License ever published by the Free Software Foundation.

If the Library as you received it specifies that a proxy can decide whether future versions
of the GNU Lesser General Public License shall apply, that proxy's public statement of
acceptance of any version is permanent authorization for you to choose that version for
the Library.

Linking exceptions
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Both the Bentayga and NewtonNative packages are proprietary libraries that
are exempt of sharing the source code when linked from GridCal. Both libraries
area optional and no GridCal functionality is curtailed by not linking Bentayga
or Newton.

The author of GridCal (Santiago Peñate-Vera) Is also the author of Bentayga
and NewtonNative, hence the ability to make the exemptions.
