Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies

This version of the GNU Lesser General Public License incorporates
10-
the terms and conditions of version 3 of the GNU General Public
11-
License, supplemented by the additional permissions listed below.
12-
13-
0. Additional Definitions.
14-
15-
As used herein, "this License" refers to version 3 of the GNU Lesser
16-
General Public License, and the "GNU GPL" refers to version 3 of the GNU
17-
General Public License.
18-
19-
"The Library" refers to a covered work governed by this License,
20-
other than an Application or a Combined Work as defined below.
21-
22-
An "Application" is any work that makes use of an interface provided
23-
by the Library, but which is not otherwise based on the Library.
24-
Defining a subclass of a class defined by the Library is deemed a mode
25-
of using an interface provided by the Library.
26-
27-
A "Combined Work" is a work produced by combining or linking an
28-
Application with the Library. The particular version of the Library
29-
with which the Combined Work was made is also called the "Linked
30-
Version".
31-
32-
The "Minimal Corresponding Source" for a Combined Work means the
33-
Corresponding Source for the Combined Work, excluding any source code
34-
for portions of the Combined Work that, considered in isolation, are
35-
based on the Application, and not on the Linked Version.
36-
37-
The "Corresponding Application Code" for a Combined Work means the
38-
object code and/or source code for the Application, including any data
39-
and utility programs needed for reproducing the Combined Work from the
40-
Application, but excluding the System Libraries of the Combined Work.
41-
42-
1. Exception to Section 3 of the GNU GPL.
43-
44-
You may convey a covered work under sections 3 and 4 of this License
45-
without being bound by section 3 of the GNU GPL.
46-
47-
2. Conveying Modified Versions.
48-
49-
If you modify a copy of the Library, and, in your modifications, a
50-
facility refers to a function or data to be supplied by an Application
51-
that uses the facility (other than as an argument passed when the
52-
facility is invoked), then you may convey a copy of the modified
53-
version:
54-
55-
a) under this License, provided that you make a good faith effort to
56-
ensure that, in the event an Application does not supply the
57-
function or data, the facility still operates, and performs
58-
whatever part of its purpose remains meaningful, or
59-
60-
b) under the GNU GPL, with none of the additional permissions of
61-
this License applicable to that copy.
62-
63-
3. Object Code Incorporating Material from Library Header Files.
64-
65-
The object code form of an Application may incorporate material from
66-
a header file that is part of the Library. You may convey such object
67-
code under terms of your choice, provided that, if the incorporated
68-
material is not limited to numerical parameters, data structure
69-
layouts and accessors, or small macros, inline functions and templates
70-
(ten or fewer lines in length), you do both of the following:
71-
72-
a) Give prominent notice with each copy of the object code that the
73-
Library is used in it and that the Library and its use are
74-
covered by this License.
75-
76-
b) Accompany the object code with a copy of the GNU GPL and this license
77-
document.
78-
79-
4. Combined Works.
80-
81-
You may convey a Combined Work under terms of your choice that,
82-
taken together, effectively do not restrict modification of the
83-
portions of the Library contained in the Combined Work and reverse
84-
engineering for debugging such modifications, if you also do each of
85-
the following:
86-
87-
a) Give prominent notice with each copy of the Combined Work that
88-
the Library is used in it and that the Library and its use are
89-
covered by this License.
90-
91-
b) Accompany the Combined Work with a copy of the GNU GPL and this license
92-
document.
93-
94-
c) For a Combined Work that displays copyright notices during
95-
execution, include the copyright notice for the Library among
96-
these notices, as well as a reference directing the user to the
97-
copies of the GNU GPL and this license document.
98-
99-
d) Do one of the following:
100-
101-
0) Convey the Minimal Corresponding Source under the terms of this
102-
License, and the Corresponding Application Code in a form
103-
suitable for, and under terms that permit, the user to
104-
recombine or relink the Application with a modified version of
105-
the Linked Version to produce a modified Combined Work, in the
106-
manner specified by section 6 of the GNU GPL for conveying
107-
Corresponding Source.
108-
109-
1) Use a suitable shared library mechanism for linking with the
110-
Library. A suitable mechanism is one that (a) uses at run time
111-
a copy of the Library already present on the user's computer
112-
system, and (b) will operate properly with a modified version
113-
of the Library that is interface-compatible with the Linked
114-
Version.
115-
116-
e) Provide Installation Information, but only if you would otherwise
117-
be required to provide such information under section 6 of the
118-
GNU GPL, and only to the extent that such information is
119-
necessary to install and execute a modified version of the
120-
Combined Work produced by recombining or relinking the
121-
Application with a modified version of the Linked Version. (If
122-
you use option 4d0, the Installation Information must accompany
123-
the Minimal Corresponding Source and Corresponding Application
124-
Code. If you use option 4d1, you must provide the Installation
125-
Information in the manner specified by section 6 of the GNU GPL
126-
for conveying Corresponding Source.)
127-
128-
5. Combined Libraries.
129-
130-
You may place library facilities that are a work based on the
131-
Library side by side in a single library together with other library
132-
facilities that are not Applications and are not covered by this
133-
License, and convey such a combined library under terms of your
134-
choice, if you do both of the following:
135-
136-
a) Accompany the combined library with a copy of the same work based
137-
on the Library, uncombined with any other library facilities,
138-
conveyed under the terms of this License.
139-
140-
b) Give prominent notice with the combined library that part of it
141-
is a work based on the Library, and explaining where to find the
142-
accompanying uncombined form of the same work.
143-
144-
6. Revised Versions of the GNU Lesser General Public License.
145-
146-
The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions
147-
of the GNU Lesser General Public License from time to time. Such new
148-
versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may
149-
differ in detail to address new problems or concerns.
150-
151-
Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the
152-
Library as you received it specifies that a certain numbered version
153-
of the GNU Lesser General Public License "or any later version"
154-
applies to it, you have the option of following the terms and
155-
conditions either of that published version or of any later version
156-
published by the Free Software Foundation. If the Library as you
157-
received it does not specify a version number of the GNU Lesser
158-
General Public License, you may choose any version of the GNU Lesser
159-
General Public License ever published by the Free Software Foundation.
160-
161-
If the Library as you received it specifies that a proxy can decide
162-
whether future versions of the GNU Lesser General Public License shall
163-
apply, that proxy's public statement of acceptance of any version is
164-
permanent authorization for you to choose that version for the
165-
Library.

Special thanks to dcuddeback, willem66745, and apoloval who wrote the original serial-rs library
72-
which this library heavily borrows from. As that library licensed as MIT, the portions of this
73-
library that were copied from that one are licensed as MIT. All other code is licensed as LGPL
74-
version 3.0 or any later version. Therefore the license for this library as a whole is LGPLv3+.
