Handspring Treo 90 Handheld User Guide

							Page 241
It may happen that this requirement contradicts the license restrictions of other proprietary libraries that do not 
normally accompany the operating system. Such a contradiction means you cannot use both them and the 
Library together in an executable that you distribute. 
9. 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 not covered by this License, and distribute such a combined library, provided that the 
separate distribution of the work based on the Library and of the other library facilities is otherwise permitted, 
and provided that you do these two things: 
a) Accompany the combined library with a copy of the same work based on the Library, uncombined with any 
other library facilities. This must be distributed under the terms of the Sections above. 
b) Give prominent notice with the combined library of the fact that part of it is a work based on the Library, and 
explaining where to find the accompanying uncombined form of the same work. 
10. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, link with, or distribute the Library except as expressly provided under 
this License. Any attempt otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense, link with, or distribute the Library 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.
11. 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 Library or its derivative works. These actions are prohibited by law if you 
do not accept this License. Therefore, by modifying or distributing the Library (or any work based on the 
Library), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and all its terms and conditions for copying, 
distributing or modifying the Library or works based on it. 
12. Each time you redistribute the Library (or any work based on the Library), the recipient automatically receives 
a license from the original licensor to copy, distribute, link with or modify the Library 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.
13. 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 Library at all. For example, if a patent license 
would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Library 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 Library. 
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. 
14. If the distribution and/or use of the Library is restricted in certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted 
interfaces, the original copyright holder who places the Library 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.
15. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of the Library 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.  
						

							Page 242  Warranty and Other Product Information
Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Library 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 Library does not specify 
a license version number, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software Foundation. 
16. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Library into other free programs whose distribution conditions are 
incompatible with these, 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 
17. BECAUSE THE LIBRARY IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE LIBRARY, 
TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING 
THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE LIBRARY “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 LIBRARY IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE 
LIBRARY PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR 
CORRECTION. 
18. 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 
LIBRARY 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 LIBRARY (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 LIBRARY 
TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER SOFTWARE), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN 
ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. 
END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
How to Apply These Terms to Your New Library 
If you develop a new library, and you want it to be of the greatest possible use to the public, we recommend making
it free software that everyone can redistribute and change. You can do so by permitting redistribution under these
terms (or, alternatively, under the terms of the ordinary General Public License). 
To apply these terms, attach the following notices to the library. It is safest to attach them to the start of each source
file to most effectively convey the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least the “copyright” line and
a pointer to where the full notice is found. 
One line to give the librarys name and an idea of what it does. 
Copyright (C) year name of author 
This library is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the terms of the GNU Library General
Public License as published by the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or (at your option)
any later version. 
This library is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied
warranty of MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. See the GNU Library General Pub-
lic License for more details. 
You should have received a copy of the GNU Library General Public License along with this library; if not, write to
the Free Software Foundation, Inc., 59 Temple Place - Suite 330, Boston, MA  02111-1307, USA. 
Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail. You should also get your employer (if you
work as a programmer) or your school, if any, to sign a “copyright disclaimer” for the library, if necessary. Here is a
sample; alter the names:
