Limited Warranty
Limited Warranty Coverage
If your product does not work properly because of a defect in materials or workmanship, Panasonic Consumer 
Electronics Company or Panasonic Sales Company (collectively referred to as “the warrantor”) will, for the length of 
the period indicated on the chart below, which starts with the date of original purchase (“warranty period”), at its 
option either (a) repair your product with new or refurbished parts, or (b) replace it with a new or a refurbished 
product. The decision to repair or replace will be made by the warrantor.
During the “Labor” warranty period there will be no charge for labor. During the “Parts” warranty period, there will be 
no charge for parts. You must carry-in your product or arrange for in-home service during the warranty period. If 
non-rechargeable batteries are included, they are not warranted. This warranty only applies to products purchased 
and serviced in the United States or Puerto Rico. This warranty is extended only to the original purchaser of a new 
product which was not sold “as is”. A purchase receipt or other proof of the original purchase date is required for 
warranty service.
Carry-in or In-Home Service
For In-Home or Carry-In Service in the United States call 1-888-VIEW-PTV (1-888-843-9788).
For assistance in Puerto Rico call Panasonic Sales Company (787) -750- 4300 or fax (787) -768-2910.
In-Home service requires clear, complete and easy access to the product by the authorized servicer and does not 
include removal or re-installation of an installed product. It is possible that certain in-home repairs will not be 
completed in-home, but will require that the product, or parts of the product, be removed for shop diagnosis and/or 
repair and then returned.
Limited Warranty Limits And Exclusions
This warranty ONLY COVERS failures due to defects in materials or workmanship, and DOES NOT COVER normal 
wear and tear or cosmetic damage. The warranty also does not cover damages which occurred in shipment, or 
failures which are caused by products not supplied by the warrantor, or failures which result from accidents, misuse, 
abuse, neglect, mishandling, misapplication, alteration, faulty installation, set-up adjustments, misadjustment of 
consumer controls, power line surge, lightning damage, modifi cation, or commercial use (such as in a hotel, offi ce, 
restaurant, or other business), rental use of the product, service by anyone other than a Factory Servicenter or other 
Authorized Servicer, or damage that is attributable to acts of God.
THERE ARE NO EXPRESS WARRANTIES EXCEPT AS LISTED UNDER “ LIMITED WARRANTY COVERAGE”.  
THE WARRANTOR IS NOT LIABLE FOR INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES RESULTING FROM 
THE USE OF THIS PRODUCT, OR ARISING OUT OF ANY BREACH OF THIS WARRANTY. (As examples, this 
excludes damages for lost time, cost of having someone remove or re-install an installed unit if applicable, or travel to 
and from the servicer. The items listed are not exclusive, but are for illustration only.) ALL EXPRESS AND IMPLIED 
WARRANTIES, INCLUDING THE WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, ARE LIMITED TO THE PERIOD OF 
THE LIMITED WARRANTY.
Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, or limitations on how 
long an implied warranty lasts, so the exclusions may not apply to you.
This warranty gives you specifi c legal rights and you may also have other rights, which vary, from state to state. If a 
problem with this product develops during or after the warranty period, you may contact your dealer or Servicenter. If 
the problem is not handled to your satisfaction, then write to the warrantors Consumer Affairs Department at the 
addresses listed for the warrantor.
PARTS AND SERVICE (INCLUDING COST OF AN IN-HOME SERVICE CALL, WHERE APPLICABLE) WHICH 
ARE NOT COVERED BY THIS LIMITED WARRANTY ARE YOUR RESPONSIBILITY.

Information
GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
Version 2, June 1991
Copyright (C) 1989, 1991 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
59 Temple Place, Suite 330, Boston, MA 02111-1307 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.
This product utilizes the following so called “open source” software:
(1)  the software which is licensed under the GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE,
(2)  the software which is licensed under the GNU LESSER GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE, and
(3)  software developed by the third parties and available under certain terms and conditions.
For the software categorized as (1) and (2), please refer to the terms and conditions of the following GNU 
GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE and GNU LESSER GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE respectively.
  If you wish to get further information as to the software, please contact the web site below.
  http://www.fsf.org/licenses/ and http://www.am-linux.jp/
The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and 
modifi cation follow.
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.
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.)
Other Information 
						

							106For assistance, please call : 1-888-VIEW PTV(843-9788) or, contact us via the web at: http://www.panasonic.com/contactinfo
  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.)
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.
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.
Other Information 
						

							107
Information
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 COR RECTION.
12. IN NO EVENT U NLESS 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 AMAGES, 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.

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.

GNU LESSER GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
Version 2.1, February 1999
Copyright (C) 1991, 1999 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
59 Temple Place, Suite 330, Boston, MA 02111-1307 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 then 
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.
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.

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) T he modifi ed work must itself be a software library.
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.
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:
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 
fi nd the accompanying uncombined form of the same work.
8. 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.
9. 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.
10. 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 with this License.
11. 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
