AND CONDITIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT, SONY DOES NOT 
GRANT THE LIMITED RIGHTS HEREIN, AND PLEASE DO 
NOT USE THE SERVICE, PRODUCT, SOFTWARE, AND/OR 
SITE.

WARRANT OR MAKE ANY REPRESENTATIONS 
REGARDING THE USE OR THE RESULTS OF THE USE OF 
THE SOFTWARE, SERVICE, AND/OR SITE IN TERMS OF ITS 
CORRECTNESS, ACCURACY, RELIABILITY, OR

GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSEVersion 2, June 1991
Copyright (C) 1989, 1991 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
51 Franklin Street, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA 02110-1301 USA
Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this 
license document, but changing it is not allowed.
PreambleThe 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 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 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.
 
						

							106US
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.
GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE TERMS AND 
CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND 
MODIFICATION
0. This License applies to any program or other work which 
contains a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be 
distributed under the terms of this General Public License. The 
“Program”, below, refers to any such program or work, and a 
“work based on the Program” means either the Program or any 
derivative work under copyright law: that is to say, a work 
containing the Program or a portion of it, either verbatim or with 
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.)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 DAMAGES, 
INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR 
CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE 
OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT 
NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING 
RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY 
YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE 
PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER 
PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY 
HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH 
DAMAGES.
END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
How to Apply These Terms to Your New ProgramsIf 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 (C)  
This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify 
it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published 
by the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or 
(at your option) any later version.
This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, but 
WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty 
of MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR 
PURPOSE. See the GNU General Public License for more details.
You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License 
along with this program; if not, write to the Free Software 
Foundation, Inc., 59 Temple Place - Suite 330, Boston, MA 02111-
1307, USA.
Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper 
mail.
If the program is interactive, make it output a short notice like this 
when it starts in an interactive mode:
Gnomovision version 69, Copyright (C) year name of author
Gnomovision comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for 
details type ‘show w’. This is free software, and you are welcome to 
redistribute it under certain conditions; type ‘show c’ for details.
The hypothetical commands ‘show w’ and ‘show c’ should show the 
appropriate parts of the General Public License. Of course, the 
commands you use may be called something other than ‘show w’ and 
‘show c’; they could even be mouse-clicks or menu items--whatever 
suits your program.

You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or 
your school, if any, to sign a “copyright disclaimer” for the program, 
if necessary. Here is a sample; alter the names:

program ‘Gnomovision’ (which makes passes at compilers) written

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 Lesser General Public License instead of this License.
GNU LESSER GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSEVersion 2.1, February 1999 
Copyright (C) 1991, 1999 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
51 Franklin Street, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA 02110-1301 USA 
Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this 
license document, but changing it is not allowed.
[This is the 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.]
PreambleThe 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 the 
library, and (2) we offer you this license, which gives you legal 
permission to copy, distribute and/or modify the library. 
To protect each distributor, we want to make it very clear that there 
is no warranty for the free library. Also, if the library is 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.
GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE TERMS AND 
CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND 
MODIFICATION
0. This License Agreement applies to any software library or other 
program which contains a notice placed by the copyright holder 
or other authorized party saying it may be distributed under the 
terms of this Lesser General Public License (also called “this 
License”). Each licensee is addressed as “you”.
A “library” means a collection of software functions and/or data 
prepared so as to be conveniently linked with application programs 
(which use some of those functions and data) to form executables.
The “Library”, below, refers to any such software library or work 
which has been distributed under these terms. A “work based on the 
Library” means either the Library or any derivative work under 
copyright law: that is to say, a work containing the Library or a 
portion of it, either verbatim or with 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.
 
						

							Additional Information
109US
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.
If such an object file uses only numerical parameters, data structure 
layouts and assessors, 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. 
 
						

							110US
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.
