Cleaning
To ensure continued excellent performance by this product, periodic cleaning is recommended.
The unit contains many 
plastic parts. For this 
reason DO NOT use 
benzine, thinner or other 
chemicals to clean the 
unit.Dust will accumulate on the 
picture screen. Please wipe with 
a soft cloth from time to time. 
If you use a chemically treated 
cloth, please be careful to follow 
the instructions that come with 
the cloth.
DO NOT bring into 
contact with insecticide or 
other volatile substances. 
DO NOT allow the unit 
to come into contact for 
extended periods with 
rubber or vinyl products.
Remove dirt and soiling by wiping 
with a light cloth. Even if the unit 
is heavily soiled, do not apply 
cleaner directly to the unit. Soak 
a cloth in a solution of neutral 
cleanser diluted with water. Then 
wring out the cloth, wipe the unit 
clean, and finish by wiping with a 
dry cloth. Do not use any type of 
cleansers on the picture screen.

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, bug infestation, mishandling, misapplication, alteration, faulty installation, set-up adjustments, 
misadjustment of consumer controls, power line surge, lightning damage, modification, or commercial use (such as 
in a hotel, office, 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 specific 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

GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
Version 2, June 1991
Copyright © 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 modified 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 reflect 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 modification 
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 modifications and/or translated into another language. (Hereinafter, 
translation is included without limitation in the term “modification”.) Each 
licensee is addressed as “you”.
  Activities other than copying, distribution and modification 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 
modifications or work under the terms of Section 1 above, provided that 
you also meet all of these conditions:
a)  You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices stating 
that you changed the files 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 modified 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
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/ 
						

							85
Information
  These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If 
identifiable 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 modifications to it. For an executable work, complete source code 
means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any associated 
interface definition files, 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 
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 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 
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 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.

Copyright ©  
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., 59 Temple Place - Suite 330, Boston, MA 02111-1307, USA
Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail. If e 
program is interactive, make it output a short notice like this when it starts in 
an interactive mode:
Gnomovision version 69, Copyright © 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.

Ty Coon, President of Vice
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 © 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 first 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 first 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 files 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 modified 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 specified 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 fits 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 
modified version of the Library. 
The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and modification 
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 modifications and/or translated straightforwardly into another 
language. (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in the 
term “modification”.)
  “Source code” for a work means the preferred form of the work for 
making modifications to it. For a library, complete source code means all 
the source code for all modules it contains, plus any associated interface 
definition files, plus the scripts used to control compilation and installation 
of the library.
  Activities other than copying, distribution and modification 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 
modifications or work under the terms of Section 1 above, provided that 
you also meet all of these conditions:
a)  The modified work must itself be a software library.
b)  You must cause the files modified to carry prominent notices stating 
that you changed the files 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 modified 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-defined 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 modified work as a whole. If 
identifiable 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 satisfies 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 file 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 significant 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 defined by law.

Information
  If such an object file 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 file 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 modification of the work 
for the customer’s own use and reverse engineering for debugging such 
modifications.
  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 modified executable containing the modified 
Library. (It is understood that the user who changes the contents of 
definitions files in the Library will not necessarily be able to recompile 
the application to use the modified definitions.) 
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 modified version of the library, if the user installs one, as long as the 
modified 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 specified 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 specified 
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 find 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 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.

12. 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.
13. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of 
the Lesser 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 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.
14. 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
15. 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.
16. 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 Libraries
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.

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.
