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 Foundations software and to any other program whose authors commit to using it. (Some other Free Software Foundation software is covered by the GNU Lesser 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 ser vice 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 cer tain 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 modifythe software. Also, for each authors protection and ours, we want to make cer tain that ever yone 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 proprietar y To prevent this, we have made it clear that any patent must be licensed for ever yones free use or not licensed at all. 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 por tion 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 Programs 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 por tion 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 carr y 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 par t contains or is derived from the Program or any par t thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third par ties under the terms of this License. c) If the modifi ed program normally reads commands interactively when run, you must cause it, when star ted running for such interactive use in the most ordinar y 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 par t 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 ever y par t 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.
ii 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 par ty, 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 binar y 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 par ties 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, par ties who have received copies, or rights, from you under this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such par ties 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 fur ther restrictions on the recipients exercise of the rights granted herein. You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third par ties to this License. 7. If, as a consequence of a cour t judgment or allegation of patent infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues), conditions are imposed on you (whether by cour t 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 per tinent 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 por tion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under any par ticular 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 proper ty 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 cer tain 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. 10. If you wish to incorporate par ts 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 preser ving 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
iii 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 ever yone 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 star t 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. one line to give the programs name and an idea of what it does. Copyright (C) yyyy name of author 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.

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 Street, 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 shor t notice like this when it star ts 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 cer tain conditions; type ‘show c’ for details. The hypothetical commands ‘show w’ and ‘show c’ should show the appropriate par ts 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 necessar y.

[This is the fi rst released version of the Lesser GPL. It also counts as the successor of the GNU Librar y 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 ordinar y General Public License is the better strategy to use in any par ticular 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 ser vice 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 cer tain responsibilities for you if you distribute copies of the librar y or if you modify it. For example, if you distribute copies of the librar y, 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 librar y, you must provide complete object fi les to the recipients, so that they can relink them with the librar y after making changes to the librar y 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 librar y, and (2) we offer you this license, which gives you legal permission to copy, distribute and/or modify the librar y. To protect each distributor, we want to make it ver y clear that there is no warranty for the free librar y. Also, if the librar y 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 authors 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 librar y must be consistent with the full freedom of use specifi ed in this license. Most GNU software, including some libraries, is covered by the ordinar y GNU General Public License. This license, the GNU Lesser General Public License, applies to cer tain designated libraries, and is quite different from the ordinar y General Public License. We use this license for cer tain libraries in order to permit linking those libraries into non-free programs. When a program is linked with a librar y, whether statically or using a shared librar y, the combination of the two is legally speaking a combined work, a derivative of the original librar y. The ordinar y General Public License therefore permits such linking only if the entire combination fi ts
iv
its criteria of freedom. The Lesser General Public License permits more
lax criteria for linking other code with the librar y.
We call this license the “Lesser” General Public License because it does
Less to protect the users freedom than the ordinar y 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 ordinar y General Public License for many libraries.
However, the Lesser license provides advantages in cer tain special
circumstances.
For example, on rare occasions, there may be a special need to encourage
the widest possible use of a cer tain librar y, so that it becomes a de-facto
standard. To achieve this, non-free programs must be allowed to use the
librar y. A more frequent case is that a free librar y does the same job as
widely used non-free libraries. In this case, there is little to gain by limiting
the free librar y to free software only, so we use the Lesser General Public
License.
In other cases, permission to use a par ticular librar y 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 Librar y 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
Librar y has the freedom and the wherewithal to run that program using
a modifi ed version of the Librar y.
The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and modifi cation
follow. Pay close attention to the difference between a “work based on
the librar y” and a “work that uses the librar y”. The former contains code
derived from the librar y, whereas the latter must be combined with the
librar y 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 librar y or other
program which contains a notice placed by the copyright holder
or other authorized par ty 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 “librar y” 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 “Librar y”, below, refers to any such software librar y or work
which has been distributed under these terms. A “work based
on the Librar y” means either the Librar y or any derivative
work under copyright law: that is to say, a work containing the
Librar y or a por tion 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 librar y, 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 librar y.
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 Librar y is not restricted, and output
from such a program is covered only if its contents constitute a
work based on the Librar y (independent of the use of the Librar y
in a tool for writing it). Whether that is true depends on what the
Librar y does and what the program that uses the Librar y does.1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Librar ys
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 Librar y.
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 Librar y or any por tion
of it, thus forming a work based on the Librar y, 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 librar y.
b) You must cause the fi les modifi ed to carr y 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 par ties under the terms of this License.
d) If a facility in the modifi ed Librar y 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 effor t to ensure
that, in the event an application does not supply such function
or table, the facility still operates, and performs whatever par t
of its purpose remains meaningful. (For example, a function
in a librar y 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 Librar y,
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 par t of a whole
which is a work based on the Librar y, 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 ever y
par t 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 Librar y.
In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the
Librar y with the Librar y (or with a work based on the Librar y) 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 ordinar y GNU General
Public License instead of this License to a given copy of the
Librar y. To do this, you must alter all the notices that refer to this
License, so that they refer to the ordinar y GNU General Public
License, version 2, instead of to this License. (If a newer version
than version 2 of the ordinar y 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 ordinar y 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 par t of the code of
the Librar y into a program that is not a librar y.
v 4. You may copy and distribute the Librar y (or a por tion 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 par ties are not compelled to copy the source along with the object code. 5. A program that contains no derivative of any por tion of the Librar y, but is designed to work with the Librar y by being compiled or linked with it, is called a “work that uses the Librar y”. Such a work, in isolation, is not a derivative work of the Librar y, and therefore falls outside the scope of this License. However, linking a “work that uses the Librar y” with the Librar y creates an executable that is a derivative of the Librar y (because it contains por tions of the Librar y), rather than a “work that uses the librar y”. The executable is therefore covered by this License. Section 6 states terms for distribution of such executables. When a “work that uses the Librar y” uses material from a header fi le that is par t of the Librar y, the object code for the work may be a derivative work of the Librar y even though the source code is not. Whether this is true is especially signifi cant if the work can be linked without the Librar y, or if the work is itself a librar y. 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 por tions of the Librar y will still fall under Section 6.) Otherwise, if the work is a derivative of the Librar y, 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 Librar y itself. 6. As an exception to the Sections above, you may also combine or link a “work that uses the Librar y” with the Librar y to produce a work containing por tions of the Librar y, and distribute that work under terms of your choice, provided that the terms permit modifi cation of the work for the customers own use and reverse engineering for debugging such modifi cations. You must give prominent notice with each copy of the work that the Librar y is used in it and that the Librar y 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 Librar y 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 Librar y 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 Librar y, with the complete machine-readable “work that uses the Librar y”, as object code and/or source code, so that the user can modify the Librar y and then relink to produce a modifi ed executable containing the modifi ed Librar y. (It is understood that the user who changes the contents of defi nitions fi les in the Librar y will not necessarily be able to recompile the application to use the modifi ed defi nitions.) b) Use a suitable shared librar y mechanism for linking with the Librar y. A suitable mechanism is one that (1) uses at run time a copy of the librar y already present on the users computer system, rather than copying librar y functions into the executable, and (2) will operate properly with a modifi ed version of the librar y, 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 Librar y” 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 binar y 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 proprietar y libraries that do not normally accompany the operating system. Such a contradiction means you cannot use both them and the Librar y together in an executable that you distribute. 7. You may place librar y facilities that are a work based on the Librar y side-by-side in a single librar y together with other librar y facilities not covered by this License, and distribute such a combined librar y, provided that the separate distribution of the work based on the Librar y and of the other librar y facilities is otherwise permitted, and provided that you do these two things: a) Accompany the combined librar y with a copy of the same work based on the Librar y, uncombined with any other librar y facilities. This must be distributed under the terms of the Sections above. b) Give prominent notice with the combined librar y of the fact that par t of it is a work based on the Librar y, 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 Librar y except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense, link with, or distribute the Librar y is void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License. However, par ties who have received copies, or rights, from you under this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such par ties 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 Librar y or its derivative works. These actions are prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by modifying or distributing the Librar y (or any work based on the Librar y), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying the Librar y or works based on it. 10. Each time you redistribute the Librar y (or any work based on the Librar y), the recipient automatically receives a license from the original licensor to copy, distribute, link with or modify the Librar y
vi subject to these terms and conditions. You may not impose any fur ther restrictions on the recipients exercise of the rights granted herein. You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third par ties with this License. 11. If, as a consequence of a cour t judgment or allegation of patent infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues), conditions are imposed on you (whether by cour t 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 per tinent obligations, then as a consequence you may not distribute the Librar y at all. For example, if a patent license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Librar y 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 Librar y. If any por tion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under any par ticular 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 proper ty 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 Librar y is restricted in cer tain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the original copyright holder who places the Librar y 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 Librar y 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 Librar y 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 par ts of the Librar y 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 preser ving 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 AS 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 librar y, and you want it to be of the greatest possible use to the public, we recommend making it free software that ever yone can redistribute and change. You can do so by permitting redistribution under these terms (or, alternatively, under the terms of the ordinar y General Public License). To apply these terms, attach the following notices to the librar y. It is safest to attach them to the star t 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 librar y is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the terms of the GNU Lesser General Public License as published by the Free Software Foundation; either version 2.1 of the License, or (at your option) any later version. This librar y 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 Lesser General Public License for more details. You should have received a copy of the GNU Lesser General Public License along with this librar y; if not, write to the Free Software Foundation, Inc., 51 Franklin Street, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA 02110-1301 USA Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail. You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or your school, if any, to sign a “copyright disclaimer” for the librar y, if necessar y.
