sequenceParser Public License
Version 1.0, October 17, 2011

sequenceParser license is the GNU Lesser Public License (LGPL) version 2.1, with some exclusions regarding “derived work” definition, see below. Put simply, it’s a less restrictive version of LGPL.

Under the LGPL you may use sequenceParser for any purpose you wish, and modify it if you require, as long as you:
   1. Pass on the (modified) sequenceParser source code with your software, with original copyrights intact.
	 a. If you distribute electronically, the source can be a separate download (either from your own site if you modified sequenceParser, or to the sequenceParser site if you used an unmodified version) – just include a link in your documentation.
	 b. If you distribute physical media, the sequenceParser source code that you used to build your application should be included on that media.
   2. Make it clear where you have customised it.

In addition to the LGPL license text, the following exclusions and clarifications to the LGPL conditions apply to sequenceParser:
   1. Making modifications to sequenceParser configuration files, build scripts and configuration headers in order to create a customised build setup of sequenceParser with the otherwise unmodified source code, does not constitute a derived work.
   2. Building against sequenceParser headers which have inlined code does not constitute a derived work.
   3. Code which inherits sequenceParser classes outside of the sequenceParser libraries does not form a derived work.
   4. Statically linking the sequenceParser libraries into a user application does not make the user application a derived work.

As per the terms of the LGPL, a “derived work” is one for which you have to distribute source code for, so when the clauses above define something as not a derived work, it means you don’t have to distribute source code for it. However, the original sequenceParser source code with all modifications must always be made available.
