26 Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
27 of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
28
29			    Preamble
30
31  The licenses for most software are designed to take away your
32freedom to share and change it.  By contrast, the GNU General Public
33License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free
34software--to make sure the software is free for all its users.  This
35General Public License applies to most of the Free Software
36Foundation's software and to any other program whose authors commit to
37using it.  (Some other Free Software Foundation software is covered by
38the GNU Library General Public License instead.)  You can apply it to
39your programs, too.
40
41  When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not
42price.  Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you
43have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for
44this service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it
45if you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it
46in new free programs; and that you know you can do these things.
47
48  To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid
49anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights.
50These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you
51distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it.
52
53  For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether
54gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that
55you have.  You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the
56source code.  And you must show them these terms so they know their
57rights.
58
59  We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and
60(2) offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy,
61distribute and/or modify the software.
62
63  Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain
64that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free
65software.  If the software is modified by someone else and passed on, we
66want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so
67that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original
68authors' reputations.
69
70  Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software
71patents.  We wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free
72program will individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the
73program proprietary.  To prevent this, we have made it clear that any
74patent must be licensed for everyone's free use or not licensed at all.
75
76  The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
77modification follow.
78
79		    GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
80   TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION
81
82  0. This License applies to any program or other work which contains
83a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed
84under the terms of this General Public License.  The "Program", below,
85refers to any such program or work, and a "work based on the Program"
86means either the Program or any derivative work under copyright law:
87that is to say, a work containing the Program or a portion of it,
88either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated into another
89language.  (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in
90the term "modification".)  Each licensee is addressed as "you".
91
92Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not
93covered by this License; they are outside its scope.  The act of
94running the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program
95is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the
96Program (independent of having been made by running the Program).
97Whether that is true depends on what the Program does.
98
99  1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's
100source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you
101conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate
102copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the
103notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty;
104and give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License
105along with the Program.
106
107You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and
108you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee.
109
110  2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion
111of it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and
112distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1
113above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
114
115    a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices
116    stating that you changed the files and the date of any change.
117
118    b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in
119    whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any
120    part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third
121    parties under the terms of this License.
122
123    c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively
124    when run, you must cause it, when started running for such
125    interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an
126    announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a
127    notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide
128    a warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under
129    these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this
130    License.  (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but
131    does not normally print such an announcement, your work based on
132    the Program is not required to print an announcement.)
133
134These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole.  If
135identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Program,
136and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in
137themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those
138sections when you distribute them as separate works.  But when you
139distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based
140on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of
141this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the
142entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it.
143
144Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest
145your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to
146exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or
147collective works based on the Program.
148
149In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program
150with the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of
151a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under
152the scope of this License.
153
154  3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it,
155under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of
156Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following:
157
158    a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable
159    source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections
160    1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,
161
162    b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three
163    years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your
164    cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete
165    machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be
166    distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium
167    customarily used for software interchange; or,
168
169    c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer
170    to distribute corresponding source code.  (This alternative is
171    allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you
172    received the program in object code or executable form with such
173    an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.)
174
175The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for
176making modifications to it.  For an executable work, complete source
177code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any
178associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to
179control compilation and installation of the executable.  However, as a
180special exception, the source code distributed need not include
181anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary
182form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the
183operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component
184itself accompanies the executable.
185
186If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering
187access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent
188access to copy the source code from the same place counts as
189distribution of the source code, even though third parties are not
190compelled to copy the source along with the object code.
191
192  4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program
193except as expressly provided under this License.  Any attempt
194otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is
195void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License.
196However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under
197this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such
198parties remain in full compliance.
199
200  5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not
201signed it.  However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or
202distribute the Program or its derivative works.  These actions are
203prohibited by law if you do not accept this License.  Therefore, by
204modifying or distributing the Program (or any work based on the
205Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and
206all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying
207the Program or works based on it.
208
209  6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the
210Program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the
211original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to
212these terms and conditions.  You may not impose any further
213restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein.
214You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to
215this License.
216
217  7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent
218infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues),
219conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
220otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
221excuse you from the conditions of this License.  If you cannot
222distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this
223License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you
224may not distribute the Program at all.  For example, if a patent
225license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by
226all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then
227the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to
228refrain entirely from distribution of the Program.
229
230If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under
231any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to
232apply and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other
233circumstances.
234
235It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any
236patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any
237such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the
238integrity of the free software distribution system, which is
239implemented by public license practices.  Many people have made
240generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed
241through that system in reliance on consistent application of that
242system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing
243to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot
244impose that choice.
245
246This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to
247be a consequence of the rest of this License.
248
249  8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in
250certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the
251original copyright holder who places the Program under this License
252may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding
253those countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among
254countries not thus excluded.  In such case, this License incorporates
255the limitation as if written in the body of this License.
256
257  9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions
258of the General Public License from time to time.  Such new versions will
259be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to
260address new problems or concerns.
261
262Each version is given a distinguishing version number.  If the Program
263specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and "any
264later version", you have the option of following the terms and conditions
265either of that version or of any later version published by the Free
266Software Foundation.  If the Program does not specify a version number of
267this License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software
268Foundation.
269
270  10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free
271programs whose distribution conditions are different, write to the author
272to ask for permission.  For software which is copyrighted by the Free
273Software Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes
274make exceptions for this.  Our decision will be guided by the two goals
275of preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and
276of promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally.
277
278			    NO WARRANTY
279
280  11. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY
281FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.  EXCEPT WHEN
282OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES
283PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED
284OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
285MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.  THE ENTIRE RISK AS
286TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU.  SHOULD THE
287PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING,
288REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
289
290  12. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING
291WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR
292REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES,
293INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING
294OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED
295TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY
296YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER
297PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE
298POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
299
300		     END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
301
302	    How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs
303
304  If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest
305possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it
306free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms.
307
308  To do so, attach the following notices to the program.  It is safest
309to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively
310convey the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least
311the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.
312
313    <one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.>
314    Copyright (C) <year>  <name of author>
315
316    This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify
317    it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by
318    the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or
319    (at your option) any later version.
320
321    This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful,
322    but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of
323    MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.  See the
324    GNU General Public License for more details.
325
326    You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License
327    along with this program; if not, write to the Free Software
328    Foundation, Inc., 51 Franklin Street, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA  02110-1301  USA
329
330
331Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.
332
333If the program is interactive, make it output a short notice like this
334when it starts in an interactive mode:
335
336    Gnomovision version 69, Copyright (C) year  name of author
337    Gnomovision comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type `show w'.
338    This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it
339    under certain conditions; type `show c' for details.
340
341The hypothetical commands `show w' and `show c' should show the appropriate
342parts of the General Public License.  Of course, the commands you use may
343be called something other than `show w' and `show c'; they could even be
344mouse-clicks or menu items--whatever suits your program.
345
346You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or your
347school, if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if
348necessary.  Here is a sample; alter the names:
349
350  Yoyodyne, Inc., hereby disclaims all copyright interest in the program
351  `Gnomovision' (which makes passes at compilers) written by James Hacker.

354  Ty Coon, President of Vice
355
356This General Public License does not permit incorporating your program into
357proprietary programs.  If your program is a subroutine library, you may
358consider it more useful to permit linking proprietary applications with the
359library.  If this is what you want to do, use the GNU Library General
360Public License instead of this License.

368 Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
369 of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
370
371[This is the first released version of the Lesser GPL.  It also counts
372 as the successor of the GNU Library Public License, version 2, hence
373 the version number 2.1.]
374
375                            Preamble
376
377  The licenses for most software are designed to take away your
378freedom to share and change it.  By contrast, the GNU General Public
379Licenses are intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change
380free software--to make sure the software is free for all its users.
381
382  This license, the Lesser General Public License, applies to some
383specially designated software packages--typically libraries--of the
384Free Software Foundation and other authors who decide to use it.  You
385can use it too, but we suggest you first think carefully about whether
386this license or the ordinary General Public License is the better
387strategy to use in any particular case, based on the explanations below.
388
389  When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom of use,
390not price.  Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that
391you have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge
392for this service if you wish); that you receive source code or can get
393it if you want it; that you can change the software and use pieces of
394it in new free programs; and that you are informed that you can do
395these things.
396
397  To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid
398distributors to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender these
399rights.  These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for
400you if you distribute copies of the library or if you modify it.
401
402  For example, if you distribute copies of the library, whether gratis
403or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that we gave
404you.  You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the source
405code.  If you link other code with the library, you must provide
406complete object files to the recipients, so that they can relink them
407with the library after making changes to the library and recompiling
408it.  And you must show them these terms so they know their rights.
409
410  We protect your rights with a two-step method: (1) we copyright the
411library, and (2) we offer you this license, which gives you legal
412permission to copy, distribute and/or modify the library.
413
414  To protect each distributor, we want to make it very clear that
415there is no warranty for the free library.  Also, if the library is
416modified by someone else and passed on, the recipients should know
417that what they have is not the original version, so that the original
418author's reputation will not be affected by problems that might be
419introduced by others.
420
421  Finally, software patents pose a constant threat to the existence of
422any free program.  We wish to make sure that a company cannot
423effectively restrict the users of a free program by obtaining a
424restrictive license from a patent holder.  Therefore, we insist that
425any patent license obtained for a version of the library must be
426consistent with the full freedom of use specified in this license.
427
428  Most GNU software, including some libraries, is covered by the
429ordinary GNU General Public License.  This license, the GNU Lesser
430General Public License, applies to certain designated libraries, and
431is quite different from the ordinary General Public License.  We use
432this license for certain libraries in order to permit linking those
433libraries into non-free programs.
434
435  When a program is linked with a library, whether statically or using
436a shared library, the combination of the two is legally speaking a
437combined work, a derivative of the original library.  The ordinary
438General Public License therefore permits such linking only if the
439entire combination fits its criteria of freedom.  The Lesser General
440Public License permits more lax criteria for linking other code with
441the library.
442
443  We call this license the "Lesser" General Public License because it
444does Less to protect the user's freedom than the ordinary General
445Public License.  It also provides other free software developers Less
446of an advantage over competing non-free programs.  These disadvantages
447are the reason we use the ordinary General Public License for many
448libraries.  However, the Lesser license provides advantages in certain
449special circumstances.
450
451  For example, on rare occasions, there may be a special need to
452encourage the widest possible use of a certain library, so that it becomes
453a de-facto standard.  To achieve this, non-free programs must be
454allowed to use the library.  A more frequent case is that a free
455library does the same job as widely used non-free libraries.  In this
456case, there is little to gain by limiting the free library to free
457software only, so we use the Lesser General Public License.
458
459  In other cases, permission to use a particular library in non-free
460programs enables a greater number of people to use a large body of
461free software.  For example, permission to use the GNU C Library in
462non-free programs enables many more people to use the whole GNU
463operating system, as well as its variant, the GNU/Linux operating
464system.
465
466  Although the Lesser General Public License is Less protective of the
467users' freedom, it does ensure that the user of a program that is
468linked with the Library has the freedom and the wherewithal to run
469that program using a modified version of the Library.
470
471  The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
472modification follow.  Pay close attention to the difference between a
473"work based on the library" and a "work that uses the library".  The
474former contains code derived from the library, whereas the latter must
475be combined with the library in order to run.
476
477                  GNU LESSER GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
478   TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION
479
480  0. This License Agreement applies to any software library or other
481program which contains a notice placed by the copyright holder or
482other authorized party saying it may be distributed under the terms of
483this Lesser General Public License (also called "this License").
484Each licensee is addressed as "you".
485
486  A "library" means a collection of software functions and/or data
487prepared so as to be conveniently linked with application programs
488(which use some of those functions and data) to form executables.
489
490  The "Library", below, refers to any such software library or work
491which has been distributed under these terms.  A "work based on the
492Library" means either the Library or any derivative work under
493copyright law: that is to say, a work containing the Library or a
494portion of it, either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated
495straightforwardly into another language.  (Hereinafter, translation is
496included without limitation in the term "modification".)
497
498  "Source code" for a work means the preferred form of the work for
499making modifications to it.  For a library, complete source code means
500all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any associated
501interface definition files, plus the scripts used to control compilation
502and installation of the library.
503
504  Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not
505covered by this License; they are outside its scope.  The act of
506running a program using the Library is not restricted, and output from
507such a program is covered only if its contents constitute a work based
508on the Library (independent of the use of the Library in a tool for
509writing it).  Whether that is true depends on what the Library does
510and what the program that uses the Library does.
511
512  1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Library's
513complete source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that
514you conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an
515appropriate copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact
516all the notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any
517warranty; and distribute a copy of this License along with the
518Library.
519
520  You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy,
521and you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a
522fee.
523
524  2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Library or any portion
525of it, thus forming a work based on the Library, and copy and
526distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1
527above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
528
529    a) The modified work must itself be a software library.
530
531    b) You must cause the files modified to carry prominent notices
532    stating that you changed the files and the date of any change.
533
534    c) You must cause the whole of the work to be licensed at no
535    charge to all third parties under the terms of this License.
536
537    d) If a facility in the modified Library refers to a function or a
538    table of data to be supplied by an application program that uses
539    the facility, other than as an argument passed when the facility
540    is invoked, then you must make a good faith effort to ensure that,
541    in the event an application does not supply such function or
542    table, the facility still operates, and performs whatever part of
543    its purpose remains meaningful.
544
545    (For example, a function in a library to compute square roots has
546    a purpose that is entirely well-defined independent of the
547    application.  Therefore, Subsection 2d requires that any
548    application-supplied function or table used by this function must
549    be optional: if the application does not supply it, the square
550    root function must still compute square roots.)
551
552These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole.  If
553identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Library,
554and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in
555themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those
556sections when you distribute them as separate works.  But when you
557distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based
558on the Library, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of
559this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the
560entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote
561it.
562
563Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest
564your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to
565exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or
566collective works based on the Library.
567
568In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Library
569with the Library (or with a work based on the Library) on a volume of
570a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under
571the scope of this License.
572
573  3. You may opt to apply the terms of the ordinary GNU General Public
574License instead of this License to a given copy of the Library.  To do
575this, you must alter all the notices that refer to this License, so
576that they refer to the ordinary GNU General Public License, version 2,
577instead of to this License.  (If a newer version than version 2 of the
578ordinary GNU General Public License has appeared, then you can specify
579that version instead if you wish.)  Do not make any other change in
580these notices.
581
582  Once this change is made in a given copy, it is irreversible for
583that copy, so the ordinary GNU General Public License applies to all
584subsequent copies and derivative works made from that copy.
585
586  This option is useful when you wish to copy part of the code of
587the Library into a program that is not a library.
588
589  4. You may copy and distribute the Library (or a portion or
590derivative of it, under Section 2) in object code or executable form
591under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you accompany
592it with the complete corresponding machine-readable source code, which
593must be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a
594medium customarily used for software interchange.
595
596  If distribution of object code is made by offering access to copy
597from a designated place, then offering equivalent access to copy the
598source code from the same place satisfies the requirement to
599distribute the source code, even though third parties are not
600compelled to copy the source along with the object code.
601
602  5. A program that contains no derivative of any portion of the
603Library, but is designed to work with the Library by being compiled or
604linked with it, is called a "work that uses the Library".  Such a
605work, in isolation, is not a derivative work of the Library, and
606therefore falls outside the scope of this License.
607
608  However, linking a "work that uses the Library" with the Library
609creates an executable that is a derivative of the Library (because it
610contains portions of the Library), rather than a "work that uses the
611library".  The executable is therefore covered by this License.
612Section 6 states terms for distribution of such executables.
613
614  When a "work that uses the Library" uses material from a header file
615that is part of the Library, the object code for the work may be a
616derivative work of the Library even though the source code is not.
617Whether this is true is especially significant if the work can be
618linked without the Library, or if the work is itself a library.  The
619threshold for this to be true is not precisely defined by law.
620
621  If such an object file uses only numerical parameters, data
622structure layouts and accessors, and small macros and small inline
623functions (ten lines or less in length), then the use of the object
624file is unrestricted, regardless of whether it is legally a derivative
625work.  (Executables containing this object code plus portions of the
626Library will still fall under Section 6.)
627
628  Otherwise, if the work is a derivative of the Library, you may
629distribute the object code for the work under the terms of Section 6.
630Any executables containing that work also fall under Section 6,
631whether or not they are linked directly with the Library itself.
632
633  6. As an exception to the Sections above, you may also combine or
634link a "work that uses the Library" with the Library to produce a
635work containing portions of the Library, and distribute that work
636under terms of your choice, provided that the terms permit
637modification of the work for the customer's own use and reverse
638engineering for debugging such modifications.
639
640  You must give prominent notice with each copy of the work that the
641Library is used in it and that the Library and its use are covered by
642this License.  You must supply a copy of this License.  If the work
643during execution displays copyright notices, you must include the
644copyright notice for the Library among them, as well as a reference
645directing the user to the copy of this License.  Also, you must do one
646of these things:
647
648    a) Accompany the work with the complete corresponding
649    machine-readable source code for the Library including whatever
650    changes were used in the work (which must be distributed under
651    Sections 1 and 2 above); and, if the work is an executable linked
652    with the Library, with the complete machine-readable "work that
653    uses the Library", as object code and/or source code, so that the
654    user can modify the Library and then relink to produce a modified
655    executable containing the modified Library.  (It is understood
656    that the user who changes the contents of definitions files in the
657    Library will not necessarily be able to recompile the application
658    to use the modified definitions.)
659
660    b) Use a suitable shared library mechanism for linking with the
661    Library.  A suitable mechanism is one that (1) uses at run time a
662    copy of the library already present on the user's computer system,
663    rather than copying library functions into the executable, and (2)
664    will operate properly with a modified version of the library, if
665    the user installs one, as long as the modified version is
666    interface-compatible with the version that the work was made with.
667
668    c) Accompany the work with a written offer, valid for at
669    least three years, to give the same user the materials
670    specified in Subsection 6a, above, for a charge no more
671    than the cost of performing this distribution.
672
673    d) If distribution of the work is made by offering access to copy
674    from a designated place, offer equivalent access to copy the above
675    specified materials from the same place.
676
677    e) Verify that the user has already received a copy of these
678    materials or that you have already sent this user a copy.
679
680  For an executable, the required form of the "work that uses the
681Library" must include any data and utility programs needed for
682reproducing the executable from it.  However, as a special exception,
683the materials to be distributed need not include anything that is
684normally distributed (in either source or binary form) with the major
685components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the operating system on
686which the executable runs, unless that component itself accompanies
687the executable.
688
689  It may happen that this requirement contradicts the license
690restrictions of other proprietary libraries that do not normally
691accompany the operating system.  Such a contradiction means you cannot
692use both them and the Library together in an executable that you
693distribute.
694
695  7. You may place library facilities that are a work based on the
696Library side-by-side in a single library together with other library
697facilities not covered by this License, and distribute such a combined
698library, provided that the separate distribution of the work based on
699the Library and of the other library facilities is otherwise
700permitted, and provided that you do these two things:
701
702    a) Accompany the combined library with a copy of the same work
703    based on the Library, uncombined with any other library
704    facilities.  This must be distributed under the terms of the
705    Sections above.
706
707    b) Give prominent notice with the combined library of the fact
708    that part of it is a work based on the Library, and explaining
709    where to find the accompanying uncombined form of the same work.
710
711  8. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, link with, or distribute
712the Library except as expressly provided under this License.  Any
713attempt otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense, link with, or
714distribute the Library is void, and will automatically terminate your
715rights under this License.  However, parties who have received copies,
716or rights, from you under this License will not have their licenses
717terminated so long as such parties remain in full compliance.
718
719  9. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not
720signed it.  However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or
721distribute the Library or its derivative works.  These actions are
722prohibited by law if you do not accept this License.  Therefore, by
723modifying or distributing the Library (or any work based on the
724Library), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and
725all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying
726the Library or works based on it.
727
728  10. Each time you redistribute the Library (or any work based on the
729Library), the recipient automatically receives a license from the
730original licensor to copy, distribute, link with or modify the Library
731subject to these terms and conditions.  You may not impose any further
732restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein.
733You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties with
734this License.
735
736  11. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent
737infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues),
738conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
739otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
740excuse you from the conditions of this License.  If you cannot
741distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this
742License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you
743may not distribute the Library at all.  For example, if a patent
744license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Library by
745all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then
746the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to
747refrain entirely from distribution of the Library.
748
749If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under any
750particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to apply,
751and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other circumstances.
752
753It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any
754patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any
755such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the
756integrity of the free software distribution system which is
757implemented by public license practices.  Many people have made
758generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed
759through that system in reliance on consistent application of that
760system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing
761to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot
762impose that choice.
763
764This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to
765be a consequence of the rest of this License.
766
767  12. If the distribution and/or use of the Library is restricted in
768certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the
769original copyright holder who places the Library under this License may add
770an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding those countries,
771so that distribution is permitted only in or among countries not thus
772excluded.  In such case, this License incorporates the limitation as if
773written in the body of this License.
774
775  13. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new
776versions of the Lesser General Public License from time to time.
777Such new versions will be similar in spirit to the present version,
778but may differ in detail to address new problems or concerns.
779
780Each version is given a distinguishing version number.  If the Library
781specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and
782"any later version", you have the option of following the terms and
783conditions either of that version or of any later version published by
784the Free Software Foundation.  If the Library does not specify a
785license version number, you may choose any version ever published by
786the Free Software Foundation.
787
788  14. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Library into other free
789programs whose distribution conditions are incompatible with these,
790write to the author to ask for permission.  For software which is
791copyrighted by the Free Software Foundation, write to the Free
792Software Foundation; we sometimes make exceptions for this.  Our
793decision will be guided by the two goals of preserving the free status
794of all derivatives of our free software and of promoting the sharing
795and reuse of software generally.
796
797                            NO WARRANTY
798
799  15. BECAUSE THE LIBRARY IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO
800WARRANTY FOR THE LIBRARY, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.
801EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR
802OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE LIBRARY "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY
803KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE
804IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
805PURPOSE.  THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE
806LIBRARY IS WITH YOU.  SHOULD THE LIBRARY PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME
807THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
808
809  16. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN
810WRITING WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY
811AND/OR REDISTRIBUTE THE LIBRARY AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU
812FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR
813CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE
814LIBRARY (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING
815RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A
816FAILURE OF THE LIBRARY TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER SOFTWARE), EVEN IF
817SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH
818DAMAGES.
819
820                     END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
821
822           How to Apply These Terms to Your New Libraries
823
824  If you develop a new library, and you want it to be of the greatest
825possible use to the public, we recommend making it free software that
826everyone can redistribute and change.  You can do so by permitting
827redistribution under these terms (or, alternatively, under the terms of the
828ordinary General Public License).
829
830  To apply these terms, attach the following notices to the library.  It is
831safest to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively
832convey the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least the
833"copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.
834
835    <one line to give the library's name and a brief idea of what it does.>
836    Copyright (C) <year>  <name of author>
837
838    This library is free software; you can redistribute it and/or
839    modify it under the terms of the GNU Lesser General Public
840    License as published by the Free Software Foundation; either
841    version 2.1 of the License, or (at your option) any later version.
842
843    This library is distributed in the hope that it will be useful,
844    but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of
845    MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.  See the GNU
846    Lesser General Public License for more details.
847
848    You should have received a copy of the GNU Lesser General Public
849    License along with this library; if not, write to the Free Software
850    Foundation, Inc., 51 Franklin Street, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA  02110-1301  USA
851
852Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.
853
854You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or your
855school, if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the library, if
856necessary.  Here is a sample; alter the names:
857
858  Yoyodyne, Inc., hereby disclaims all copyright interest in the
