Version 2, June 1991
Copyright (C) 1989, 1991 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
  51 Franklin St, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA  02110-1301  USA
Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
Preamble
The licenses for most software are designed to take away your freedom to share and change it.  By contrast, the 
GNU General Public License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free software--to make 
sure the software is free for all its users. This General Public License applies to most of the Free Software 
Foundation’s software and to any other program whose authors commit to using it. (Some other Free Software 
Foundation software is covered by the GNU Library General Public License instead.) You can apply it to your 
programs, too.
When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not price. Our General Public Licenses are designed 
to make sure that you have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for this service if you wish), 
that you receive source code or can get it if you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it in new 
free programs; and that you know you can do these things.
To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to 
surrender the rights.  These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you distribute copies of the 
software, or if you modify it.
For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all 
the rights that you have.  You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the source code.  And you must show 
them these terms so they know their rights.
We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and (2) offer you this license which gives you 
legal permission to copy, distribute and/or modify the software.
Also, for each author’s protection and ours, we want to make certain that everyone understands that there is no 
warranty for this free software.  If the software is modifi ed by someone else and passed on, we want its recipients to 
know that what they have is not the original, so that any problems introduced by others will not refl ect on the original 
authors’ reputations.
Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software patents.  We wish to avoid the danger that 
redistributors of a free program will individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the program proprietary.  To 
prevent this, we have made it clear that any patent must be licensed for everyone’s free use or not licensed at all.
The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and modifi cation follow.
GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION
0. This License applies to any program or other work which contains a notice placed by the copyright holder saying 
it may be distributed under the terms of this General Public License. The “Program”, below, refers to any such 
program or work, and a “work based on the Program” means either the Program or any derivative work under 
copyright law: that is to say, a work containing the Program or a portion of it, either verbatim or with modifi cations 
and/or translated into another language. (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in the term 
“modifi cation”.)  Each licensee is addressed as “you”.
Activities other than copying, distribution and modifi cation are not covered by this License; they are outside its scope. 
The act of running the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program is covered only if its contents 
constitute a work based on the Program (independent of having been made by running the Program). Whether that 
is true depends on what the Program does.
 
						

							82
LICENSE AGREEMENTS (continued) 
End User License Agreements for Operating System Software (continued)
1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program’s source code as you receive it, in any medium, 
provided that you conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice and 
disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty; and 
give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License along with the Program.
You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and you may at your option offer warranty protection 
in exchange for a fee.
2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion of it, thus forming a work based on the 
Program, and copy and distribute such modifi cations or work under the terms of Section 1 above, provided that you 
also meet all of these conditions:
a) You must cause the modifi ed fi les to carry prominent notices
stating that you changed the fi les and the date of 
any change.
b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in whole or in part contains or is derived from the 
Program or any part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third parties under the terms of this 
License.
c) If the modifi ed program normally reads commands interactively when run, you must cause it, when started 
running for such interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an announcement including an 
appropriate copyright notice and a notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide a warranty) and 
that users may redistribute the program under these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this 
License. (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but does not normally print such an announcement, your 
work based on the Program is not required to print an announcement.)
These requirements apply to the modifi ed work as a whole.  If identifi able sections of that work are not derived from 
the Program, and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in themselves, then this License, 
and its terms, do not apply to those sections when you distribute them as separate works.  But when you distribute 
the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on 
the terms of this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the entire whole, and thus to each and 
every part regardless of who wrote it.
Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the 
intent is to exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or collective works based on the Program.
In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program with the Program (or with a work based on 
the Program) on a volume of a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under the scope of this 
License.
3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it, under Section 2) in object code or executable 
form under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following:
a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable source code, which must be distributed under 
the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,
b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than 
your cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete machine-readable copy of the corresponding 
source code, to be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for 
software interchange; or,
c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer to distribute corresponding source code. (This 
alternative is allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you received the program in object code or 
executable form with such an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.)

End User License Agreements for Operating System Software (continued)
The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for making modifi cations to it.  For an executable 
work, complete source code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any associated interface 
defi nition fi les, plus the scripts used to control compilation and installation of the executable.  However, as a special 
exception, the source code distributed need not include anything that is normally distributed (in either source or 
binary form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the operating system on which the 
executable runs, unless that component itself accompanies the executable.
If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering access to copy from a designated place, then offering 
equivalent access to copy the source code from the same place counts as distribution of the source code, even 
though third parties are not compelled to copy the source along with the object code.
4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program except as expressly provided under this 
License.  Any attempt otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program 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.
5. 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 Program or its derivative works.  These actions are prohibited by law if you do 
not accept this License.  Therefore, by modifying or distributing the Program (or any work based on the Program), 
you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or 
modifying the Program or works based on it.
6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the Program), the recipient automatically receives 
a license from the original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program 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.
7. 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 Program at all.  For example, if a patent license would not permit royalty-
free redistribution of the Program 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 Program.
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.
8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted 
interfaces, the original copyright holder who places the Program 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.
9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of the 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.
 
						

							84
LICENSE AGREEMENTS (continued) 
End User License Agreements for Operating System Software (continued)
Each version is given a distinguishing version number.  If the Program specifi es 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 Program does not specify a version 
number of this License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software Foundation.
10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free programs whose distribution conditions are 
different, 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
11. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE 
PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.  EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN 
WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE PROGRAM “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 PROGRAM IS WITH YOU.  SHOULD THE PROGRAM 
PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
12. 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 PROGRAM 
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 
PROGRAM (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 PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY 
OTHER PROGRAMS), 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 Programs
If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest possible use to the public, the best way to 
achieve this is to make it free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms.
To do so, attach the following notices to the program.  It is safest to attach them to the start of each source fi le to 
most effectively convey the exclusion of warranty; and each fi le should have at least the “copyright” line and a pointer 
to where the full notice is found.

Copyright (C)  
This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the terms of the GNU General Public 
License as published by the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or   (at your option) any 
later version.
This program 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 General 
Public License for more details.
You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License along with this program; if not, write to the 
Free Software Foundation, Inc., 51 Franklin St, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA  02110-1301  USA
Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.

If the program is interactive, make it output a short notice like this when it starts in an interactive mode:
Gnomovision version 69, Copyright (C) year name of author Gnomovision comes with ABSOLUTELY NO 
WARRANTY; for details type `show w’.  This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it under certain 
conditions; type `show c’ for details.
The hypothetical commands `show w’ and `show c’ should show the appropriate parts of the General Public License.  
Of course, the commands you use may be called something other than `show w’ and `show c’; they could even be 
mouse-clicks or menu items--whatever suits your program.
You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or your school, if any, to sign a “copyright 
disclaimer” for the program, if necessary.  Here is a sample; alter the names:
Yoyodyne, Inc., hereby disclaims all copyright interest in the program `Gnomovision’ (which makes passes at 
compilers) written by James Hacker.

This General Public License does not permit incorporating your program into proprietary programs.  If your program 
is a subroutine library, you may consider it more useful to permit linking proprietary applications with the library.  If 
this is what you want to do, use the GNU Library General Public License instead of this License.

Version 2.1, February 1999
Copyright (C) 1991, 1999 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
  51 Franklin St, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA 02110-1301 USA
Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
[This is the fi rst released version of the Lesser GPL.  It also counts as the successor of the GNU Library Public 
License, version 2, hence the version number 2.1.]
Preamble
The licenses for most software are designed to take away your freedom to share and change it.  By contrast, the 
GNU General Public Licenses are intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free software--to make 
sure the software is free for all its users.
This license, the Lesser General Public License, applies to some specially designated software packages--typically 
libraries--of the Free Software Foundation and other authors who decide to use it. You can use it too, but we suggest 
you fi rst think carefully about whether this license or the ordinary General Public License is the better strategy to use 
in any particular case, based on the explanations below.
When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom of use, not price.  Our General Public Licenses are 
designed to make sure that you have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for this service if 
you wish); that you receive source code or can get it if you want it; that you can change the software and use pieces 
of it in new free programs; and that you are informed that you can do these things.
To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid distributors to deny you these rights or to ask you to 
surrender these rights.  These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you distribute copies of the 
library or if you modify it.
For example, if you distribute copies of the library, whether gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the 
rights that we gave you.  You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the source code.  If you link other 
code with the library, you must provide complete object fi les to the recipients, so that they can relink them with the 
library after making changes to the library and recompiling it.  And you must show them these terms so they know 
their rights.
We protect your rights with a two-step method: (1) we copyright the library, and (2) we offer you this license, which 
gives you legal permission to copy, distribute and/or modify the library.
To protect each distributor, we want to make it very clear that there is no warranty for the free library.  Also, if the 
library is modifi ed by someone else and passed on, the recipients should know that what they have is not the original 
version, so that the original author’s reputation will not be affected by problems that might be introduced by others.
Finally, software patents pose a constant threat to the existence of any free program.  We wish to make sure that a 
company cannot effectively restrict the users of a free program by obtaining a restrictive license from a patent holder.  
Therefore, we insist that any patent license obtained for a version of the library must be consistent with the full 
freedom of use specifi ed in this license.
Most GNU software, including some libraries, is covered by the ordinary GNU General Public License.  This 
license, the GNU Lesser General Public License, applies to certain designated libraries, and is quite different from 
the ordinary General Public License.  We use this license for certain libraries in order to permit linking those libraries 
into non-free programs.
When a program is linked with a library, whether statically or using a shared library, the combination of the two is 
legally speaking a combined work, a derivative of the original library. The ordinary General Public License therefore 
permits such linking only if the entire combination fi ts its criteria of freedom. The Lesser General Public License 
permits more lax criteria for linking other code with the library.
 
						

							87
ENGLISH
LICENSE AGREEMENTS (continued) 
End User License Agreements for Operating System Software (continued)
We call this license the “Lesser” General Public License because it does Less to protect the user’s freedom than 
the ordinary General Public License.  It also provides other free software developers Less of an advantage over 
competing non-free programs. These disadvantages are the reason we use the ordinary General Public License for 
many libraries.  However, the Lesser license provides advantages in certain special circumstances.
For example, on rare occasions, there may be a special need to encourage the widest possible use of a certain 
library, so that it becomes a de-facto standard.  To achieve this, non-free programs must be allowed to use the 
library.  A more frequent case is that a free library does the same job as widely used non-free libraries.  In this case, 
there is little to gain by limiting the free library to free software only, so we use the Lesser General Public License.
In other cases, permission to use a particular library in non-free programs enables a greater number of people to 
use a large body of free software.  For example, permission to use the GNU C Library in non-free programs enables 
many more people to use the whole GNU operating system, as well as its variant, the GNU/Linux operating system.
Although the Lesser General Public License is Less protective of the users’ freedom, it does ensure that the user 
of a program that is linked with the Library has the freedom and the wherewithal to run that program using a modifi ed 
version of the Library.
The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and modifi cation follow.  Pay close attention to the 
difference between a “work based on the library” and a “work that uses the library”.  The former contains code 
derived from the library, whereas the latter must be combined with the library in order to run.
GNU LESSER GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION
0. This License Agreement applies to any software library or other program which contains a notice placed by the 
copyright holder or other authorized party saying it may be distributed under the terms of this Lesser General Public 
License (also called “this License”). Each licensee is addressed as “you”.
A “library” means a collection of software functions and/or data prepared so as to be conveniently linked with 
application programs (which use some of those functions and data) to form executables.
The “Library”, below, refers to any such software library or work which has been distributed under these terms.  A 
“work based on the Library” means either the Library or any derivative work under copyright law: that is to say, a 
work containing the Library or a portion of it, either verbatim or with modifi cations and/or translated straightforwardly 
into another language.  (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in the term “modifi cation”.)
“Source code” for a work means the preferred form of the work for making modifi cations to it.  For a library, 
complete source code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any associated interface defi nition 
fi les, plus the scripts used to control compilation and installation of the library.
Activities other than copying, distribution and modifi cation are not covered by this License; they are outside its 
scope.  The act of running a program using the Library is not restricted, and output from such a program is covered 
only if its contents constitute a work based on the Library (independent of the use of the Library in a tool for writing 
it). Whether that is true depends on what the Library does and what the program that uses the Library does.
1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Library’s complete source code as you receive it, in any 
medium, provided that you conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice 
and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty; 
and distribute a copy of this License along with the Library.
You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and you may at your option offer warranty 
protection in exchange for a fee.
2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Library or any portion of it, thus forming a work based on the Library, 
and copy and distribute such modifi cations or work under the terms of Section 1 above, provided that you also meet 
all of these conditions:
a) The modifi ed work must itself be a software library.
 
						

							88
LICENSE AGREEMENTS (continued) 
End User License Agreements for Operating System Software (continued)
b) You must cause the fi les modifi ed to carry prominent notices stating that you changed the fi les and the date of 
any change.
c) You must cause the whole of the work to be licensed at no charge to all third parties under the terms of this 
License.
d) If a facility in the modifi ed Library refers to a function or a table of data to be supplied by an application program 
that uses the facility, other than as an argument passed when the facility is invoked, then you must make a good 
faith effort to ensure that, in the event an application does not supply such function or table, the facility still 
operates, and performs whatever part of its purpose remains meaningful.
(For example, a function in a library to compute square roots has a purpose that is entirely well-defi ned 
independent of the application.  Therefore, Subsection 2d requires that any application-supplied function or table 
used by this function must be optional: if the application does not supply it, the square root function must still 
compute square roots.)
These requirements apply to the modifi ed work as a whole. If identifi able sections of that work are not derived from 
the Library, and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in themselves, then this License, 
and its terms, do not apply to those sections when you distribute them as separate works.  But when you distribute 
the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based on the Library, the distribution of the whole must be on 
the terms of this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the entire whole, and thus to each and 
every part regardless of who wrote it.
Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the 
intent is to exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or collective works based on the Library.
In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Library with the Library (or with a work based on the 
Library) on a volume of a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under the scope of this 
License.
3. You may opt to apply the terms of the ordinary GNU General Public License instead of this License to a given 
copy of the Library.  To do this, you must alter all the notices that refer to this License, so that they refer to the 
ordinary GNU General Public License, version 2, instead of to this License. (If a newer version than version 2 of the 
ordinary GNU General Public License has appeared, then you can specify that version instead if you wish.)  Do not 
make any other change in these notices.
Once this change is made in a given copy, it is irreversible for that copy, so the ordinary GNU General Public 
License applies to all subsequent copies and derivative works made from that copy. 
This option is useful when you wish to copy part of the code of the Library into a program that is not a library.
4. You may copy and distribute the Library (or a portion or derivative of it, under Section 2) in object code or 
executable form under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you accompany it with the complete 
corresponding machine-readable source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above 
on a medium customarily used for software interchange.
If distribution of object code is made by offering access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent 
access to copy the source code from the same place satisfi es the requirement to distribute the source code, even 
though third parties are not compelled to copy the source along with the object code.
5. A program that contains no derivative of any portion of the Library, but is designed to work with the Library by 
being compiled or linked with it, is called a “work that uses the Library”. Such a work, in isolation, is not a derivative 
work of the Library, and therefore falls outside the scope of this License.
However, linking a “work that uses the Library” with the Library creates an executable that is a derivative of the 
Library (because it contains portions of the Library), rather than a “work that uses the library”.  The executable is 
therefore covered by this License. Section 6 states terms for distribution of such executables.
 
						

							89
ENGLISH
LICENSE AGREEMENTS (continued) 
End User License Agreements for Operating System Software (continued)
When a “work that uses the Library” uses material from a header fi le that is part of the Library, the object code for 
the work may be a derivative work of the Library even though the source code is not.  Whether this is true is 
especially signifi cant if the work can be linked without the Library, or if the work is itself a library.  The threshold for 
this to be true is not precisely defi ned by law.
If such an object fi le uses only numerical parameters, data structure layouts and accessors, and small macros and 
small inline functions (ten lines or less in length), then the use of the object fi le is unrestricted, regardless of whether 
it is legally a derivative work. (Executables containing this object code plus portions of the Library will still fall under 
Section 6.)
Otherwise, if the work is a derivative of the Library, you may distribute the object code for the work under the terms 
of Section 6.  Any executables containing that work also fall under Section 6, whether or not they are linked directly 
with the Library itself.
6. As an exception to the Sections above, you may also combine or link a “work that uses the Library” with the 
Library to produce a work containing portions of the Library, and distribute that work under terms of your choice, 
provided that the terms permit modifi cation of the work for the customer’s own use and reverse engineering for 
debugging such modifi cations.
You must give prominent notice with each copy of the work that the Library is used in it and that the Library and its 
use are covered by this License.  You must supply a copy of this License.  If the work during execution displays 
copyright notices, you must include the copyright notice for the Library among them, as well as a reference directing 
the user to the copy of this License. Also, you must do one of these things:
a) Accompany the work with the complete corresponding machine-readable source code for the Library including 
whatever changes were used in the work (which must be distributed under Sections 1 and 2 above); and, if the 
work is an executable linked with the Library, with the complete machine-readable “work that uses the Library”, as 
object code and/or source code, so that the user can modify the Library and then relink to produce a modifi ed
executable containing the modifi ed Library.  (It is understood that the user who changes the contents of defi nitions 
fi les in the Library will not necessarily be able to recompile the application to use the modifi ed defi nitions.)
b) Use a suitable shared library mechanism for linking with the Library.  A suitable mechanism is one that (1) uses 
at run time a copy of the library already present on the user’s computer system, rather than copying library 
functions into the executable, and (2) will operate properly with a modifi ed version of the library, if the user installs 
one, as long as the modifi ed version is interface-compatible with the version that the work was made with.
c) Accompany the work with a written offer, valid for at least three years, to give the same user the materials 
specifi ed in Subsection 6a, above, for a charge no more than the cost of performing this distribution.
d) If distribution of the work is made by offering access to copy from a designated place, offer equivalent access to 
copy the above specifi ed materials from the same place.
e) Verify that the user has already received a copy of these materials or that you have already sent this user a 
copy.
For an executable, the required form of the “work that uses the Library” must include any data and utility programs 
needed for reproducing the executable from it.  However, as a special exception, the materials to be distributed need 
not include anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary form) with the major components 
(compiler, kernel, and so on) of the operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component itself 
accompanies the executable.
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.
7. 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:
