26 Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
27 of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.

29			    Preamble
30
31  The licenses for most software are designed to take away your
32freedom to share and change it.  By contrast, the GNU General Public
33License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free
34software--to make sure the software is free for all its users.  This
35General Public License applies to most of the Free Software
36Foundation's software and to any other program whose authors commit to
37using it.  (Some other Free Software Foundation software is covered by
38the GNU Library General Public License instead.)  You can apply it to
39your programs, too.
40
41  When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not
42price.  Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you
43have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for
44this service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it
45if you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it
46in new free programs; and that you know you can do these things.
47
48  To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid
49anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights.
50These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you
51distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it.
52
53  For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether
54gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that
55you have.  You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the
56source code.  And you must show them these terms so they know their
57rights.
58
59  We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and
60(2) offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy,
61distribute and/or modify the software.
62
63  Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain
64that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free
65software.  If the software is modified by someone else and passed on, we
66want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so
67that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original
68authors' reputations.
69
70  Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software
71patents.  We wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free
72program will individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the
73program proprietary.  To prevent this, we have made it clear that any
74patent must be licensed for everyone's free use or not licensed at all.
75
76  The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
77modification follow.
78
79		    GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
80   TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION
81
82  0. This License applies to any program or other work which contains
83a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed
84under the terms of this General Public License.  The "Program", below,
85refers to any such program or work, and a "work based on the Program"
86means either the Program or any derivative work under copyright law:
87that is to say, a work containing the Program or a portion of it,
88either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated into another
89language.  (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in
90the term "modification".)  Each licensee is addressed as "you".
91
92Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not
93covered by this License; they are outside its scope.  The act of
94running the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program
95is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the
96Program (independent of having been made by running the Program).
97Whether that is true depends on what the Program does.
98
99  1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's
100source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you
101conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate
102copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the
103notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty;
104and give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License
105along with the Program.
106
107You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and
108you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee.
109
110  2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion
111of it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and
112distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1
113above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
114
115    a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices
116    stating that you changed the files and the date of any change.
117
118    b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in
119    whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any
120    part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third
121    parties under the terms of this License.
122
123    c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively
124    when run, you must cause it, when started running for such
125    interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an
126    announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a
127    notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide
128    a warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under
129    these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this
130    License.  (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but
131    does not normally print such an announcement, your work based on
132    the Program is not required to print an announcement.)
133
134These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole.  If
135identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Program,
136and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in
137themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those
138sections when you distribute them as separate works.  But when you
139distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based
140on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of
141this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the
142entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it.
143
144Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest
145your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to
146exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or
147collective works based on the Program.
148
149In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program
150with the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of
151a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under
152the scope of this License.
153
154  3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it,
155under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of
156Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following:
157
158    a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable
159    source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections
160    1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,
161
162    b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three
163    years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your
164    cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete
165    machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be
166    distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium
167    customarily used for software interchange; or,
168
169    c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer
170    to distribute corresponding source code.  (This alternative is
171    allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you
172    received the program in object code or executable form with such
173    an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.)
174
175The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for
176making modifications to it.  For an executable work, complete source
177code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any
178associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to
179control compilation and installation of the executable.  However, as a
180special exception, the source code distributed need not include
181anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary
182form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the
183operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component
184itself accompanies the executable.
185
186If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering
187access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent
188access to copy the source code from the same place counts as
189distribution of the source code, even though third parties are not
190compelled to copy the source along with the object code.
191
192  4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program
193except as expressly provided under this License.  Any attempt
194otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is
195void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License.
196However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under
197this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such
198parties remain in full compliance.
199
200  5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not
201signed it.  However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or
202distribute the Program or its derivative works.  These actions are
203prohibited by law if you do not accept this License.  Therefore, by
204modifying or distributing the Program (or any work based on the
205Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and
206all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying
207the Program or works based on it.
208
209  6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the
210Program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the
211original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to
212these terms and conditions.  You may not impose any further
213restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein.
214You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to
215this License.
216
217  7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent
218infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues),
219conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
220otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
221excuse you from the conditions of this License.  If you cannot
222distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this
223License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you
224may not distribute the Program at all.  For example, if a patent
225license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by
226all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then
227the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to
228refrain entirely from distribution of the Program.
229
230If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under
231any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to
232apply and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other
233circumstances.
234
235It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any
236patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any
237such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the
238integrity of the free software distribution system, which is
239implemented by public license practices.  Many people have made
240generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed
241through that system in reliance on consistent application of that
242system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing
243to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot
244impose that choice.
245
246This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to
247be a consequence of the rest of this License.
248
249  8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in
250certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the
251original copyright holder who places the Program under this License
252may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding
253those countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among
254countries not thus excluded.  In such case, this License incorporates
255the limitation as if written in the body of this License.
256
257  9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions
258of the General Public License from time to time.  Such new versions will
259be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to
260address new problems or concerns.
261
262Each version is given a distinguishing version number.  If the Program
263specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and "any
264later version", you have the option of following the terms and conditions
265either of that version or of any later version published by the Free
266Software Foundation.  If the Program does not specify a version number of
267this License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software
268Foundation.
269
270  10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free
271programs whose distribution conditions are different, write to the author
272to ask for permission.  For software which is copyrighted by the Free
273Software Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes
274make exceptions for this.  Our decision will be guided by the two goals
275of preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and
276of promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally.
277
278			    NO WARRANTY
279
280  11. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY
281FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.  EXCEPT WHEN
282OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES
283PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED
284OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
285MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.  THE ENTIRE RISK AS
286TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU.  SHOULD THE
287PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING,
288REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
289
290  12. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING
291WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR
292REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES,
293INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING
294OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED
295TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY
296YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER
297PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE
298POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
299
300		     END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
301
302	    How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs
303
304  If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest
305possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it
306free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms.
307
308  To do so, attach the following notices to the program.  It is safest
309to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively
310convey the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least
311the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.
312
313    <one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.>
314    Copyright (C) <year>  <name of author>
315
316    This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify
317    it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by
318    the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or
319    (at your option) any later version.
320
321    This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful,
322    but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of
323    MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.  See the
324    GNU General Public License for more details.
325
326    You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License
327    along with this program; if not, write to the Free Software
328    Foundation, Inc., 51 Franklin Street, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA  02110-1301  USA
329
330
331Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.
332
333If the program is interactive, make it output a short notice like this
334when it starts in an interactive mode:
335
336    Gnomovision version 69, Copyright (C) year  name of author
337    Gnomovision comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type `show w'.
338    This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it
339    under certain conditions; type `show c' for details.
340
341The hypothetical commands `show w' and `show c' should show the appropriate
342parts of the General Public License.  Of course, the commands you use may
343be called something other than `show w' and `show c'; they could even be
344mouse-clicks or menu items--whatever suits your program.
345
346You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or your
347school, if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if
348necessary.  Here is a sample; alter the names:
349
350  Yoyodyne, Inc., hereby disclaims all copyright interest in the program
351  `Gnomovision' (which makes passes at compilers) written by James Hacker.

354  Ty Coon, President of Vice
355
356This General Public License does not permit incorporating your program into
357proprietary programs.  If your program is a subroutine library, you may
358consider it more useful to permit linking proprietary applications with the
359library.  If this is what you want to do, use the GNU Library General
360Public License instead of this License.

370
371[This is the first released version of the library GPL.  It is
372 numbered 2 because it goes with version 2 of the ordinary GPL.]
373
374			    Preamble
375
376  The licenses for most software are designed to take away your
377freedom to share and change it.  By contrast, the GNU General Public
378Licenses are intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change
379free software--to make sure the software is free for all its users.
380
381  This license, the Library General Public License, applies to some
382specially designated Free Software Foundation software, and to any
383other libraries whose authors decide to use it.  You can use it for
384your libraries, too.
385
386  When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not
387price.  Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you
388have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for
389this service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it
390if you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it
391in new free programs; and that you know you can do these things.
392
393  To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid
394anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights.
395These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if
396you distribute copies of the library, or if you modify it.
397
398  For example, if you distribute copies of the library, whether gratis
399or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that we gave
400you.  You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the source
401code.  If you link a program with the library, you must provide
402complete object files to the recipients so that they can relink them
403with the library, after making changes to the library and recompiling
404it.  And you must show them these terms so they know their rights.
405
406  Our method of protecting your rights has two steps: (1) copyright
407the library, and (2) offer you this license which gives you legal
408permission to copy, distribute and/or modify the library.
409
410  Also, for each distributor's protection, we want to make certain
411that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free
412library.  If the library is modified by someone else and passed on, we
413want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original
414version, so that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on
415the original authors' reputations.
416
417  Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software
418patents.  We wish to avoid the danger that companies distributing free
419software will individually obtain patent licenses, thus in effect
420transforming the program into proprietary software.  To prevent this,
421we have made it clear that any patent must be licensed for everyone's
422free use or not licensed at all.
423
424  Most GNU software, including some libraries, is covered by the ordinary
425GNU General Public License, which was designed for utility programs.  This
426license, the GNU Library General Public License, applies to certain
427designated libraries.  This license is quite different from the ordinary
428one; be sure to read it in full, and don't assume that anything in it is
429the same as in the ordinary license.
430
431  The reason we have a separate public license for some libraries is that
432they blur the distinction we usually make between modifying or adding to a
433program and simply using it.  Linking a program with a library, without
434changing the library, is in some sense simply using the library, and is
435analogous to running a utility program or application program.  However, in
436a textual and legal sense, the linked executable is a combined work, a
437derivative of the original library, and the ordinary General Public License
438treats it as such.
439
440  Because of this blurred distinction, using the ordinary General
441Public License for libraries did not effectively promote software
442sharing, because most developers did not use the libraries.  We
443concluded that weaker conditions might promote sharing better.
444
445  However, unrestricted linking of non-free programs would deprive the
446users of those programs of all benefit from the free status of the
447libraries themselves.  This Library General Public License is intended to
448permit developers of non-free programs to use free libraries, while
449preserving your freedom as a user of such programs to change the free
450libraries that are incorporated in them.  (We have not seen how to achieve
451this as regards changes in header files, but we have achieved it as regards
452changes in the actual functions of the Library.)  The hope is that this
453will lead to faster development of free libraries.
454
455  The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
456modification follow.  Pay close attention to the difference between a
457"work based on the library" and a "work that uses the library".  The
458former contains code derived from the library, while the latter only
459works together with the library.
460
461  Note that it is possible for a library to be covered by the ordinary
462General Public License rather than by this special one.
463
464		  GNU LIBRARY GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
465   TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION
466
467  0. This License Agreement applies to any software library which
468contains a notice placed by the copyright holder or other authorized
469party saying it may be distributed under the terms of this Library
470General Public License (also called "this License").  Each licensee is
471addressed as "you".
472
473  A "library" means a collection of software functions and/or data
474prepared so as to be conveniently linked with application programs
475(which use some of those functions and data) to form executables.
476
477  The "Library", below, refers to any such software library or work
478which has been distributed under these terms.  A "work based on the
479Library" means either the Library or any derivative work under
480copyright law: that is to say, a work containing the Library or a
481portion of it, either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated
482straightforwardly into another language.  (Hereinafter, translation is
483included without limitation in the term "modification".)
484
485  "Source code" for a work means the preferred form of the work for
486making modifications to it.  For a library, complete source code means
487all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any associated
488interface definition files, plus the scripts used to control compilation
489and installation of the library.
490
491  Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not
492covered by this License; they are outside its scope.  The act of
493running a program using the Library is not restricted, and output from
494such a program is covered only if its contents constitute a work based
495on the Library (independent of the use of the Library in a tool for
496writing it).  Whether that is true depends on what the Library does
497and what the program that uses the Library does.
498
499  1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Library's
500complete source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that
501you conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an
502appropriate copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact
503all the notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any
504warranty; and distribute a copy of this License along with the
505Library.
506
507  You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy,
508and you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a
509fee.
510
511  2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Library or any portion
512of it, thus forming a work based on the Library, and copy and
513distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1
514above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
515
516    a) The modified work must itself be a software library.
517
518    b) You must cause the files modified to carry prominent notices
519    stating that you changed the files and the date of any change.
520
521    c) You must cause the whole of the work to be licensed at no
522    charge to all third parties under the terms of this License.
523
524    d) If a facility in the modified Library refers to a function or a
525    table of data to be supplied by an application program that uses
526    the facility, other than as an argument passed when the facility
527    is invoked, then you must make a good faith effort to ensure that,
528    in the event an application does not supply such function or
529    table, the facility still operates, and performs whatever part of
530    its purpose remains meaningful.
531
532    (For example, a function in a library to compute square roots has
533    a purpose that is entirely well-defined independent of the
534    application.  Therefore, Subsection 2d requires that any
535    application-supplied function or table used by this function must
536    be optional: if the application does not supply it, the square
537    root function must still compute square roots.)
538
539These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole.  If
540identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Library,
541and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in
542themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those
543sections when you distribute them as separate works.  But when you
544distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based
545on the Library, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of
546this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the
547entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote
548it.
549
550Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest
551your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to
552exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or
553collective works based on the Library.
554
555In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Library
556with the Library (or with a work based on the Library) on a volume of
557a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under
558the scope of this License.
559
560  3. You may opt to apply the terms of the ordinary GNU General Public
561License instead of this License to a given copy of the Library.  To do
562this, you must alter all the notices that refer to this License, so
563that they refer to the ordinary GNU General Public License, version 2,
564instead of to this License.  (If a newer version than version 2 of the
565ordinary GNU General Public License has appeared, then you can specify
566that version instead if you wish.)  Do not make any other change in
567these notices.
568
569  Once this change is made in a given copy, it is irreversible for
570that copy, so the ordinary GNU General Public License applies to all
571subsequent copies and derivative works made from that copy.
572
573  This option is useful when you wish to copy part of the code of
574the Library into a program that is not a library.
575
576  4. You may copy and distribute the Library (or a portion or
577derivative of it, under Section 2) in object code or executable form
578under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you accompany
579it with the complete corresponding machine-readable source code, which
580must be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a
581medium customarily used for software interchange.
582
583  If distribution of object code is made by offering access to copy
584from a designated place, then offering equivalent access to copy the
585source code from the same place satisfies the requirement to
586distribute the source code, even though third parties are not
587compelled to copy the source along with the object code.
588
589  5. A program that contains no derivative of any portion of the
590Library, but is designed to work with the Library by being compiled or
591linked with it, is called a "work that uses the Library".  Such a
592work, in isolation, is not a derivative work of the Library, and
593therefore falls outside the scope of this License.
594
595  However, linking a "work that uses the Library" with the Library
596creates an executable that is a derivative of the Library (because it
597contains portions of the Library), rather than a "work that uses the
598library".  The executable is therefore covered by this License.
599Section 6 states terms for distribution of such executables.
600
601  When a "work that uses the Library" uses material from a header file
602that is part of the Library, the object code for the work may be a
603derivative work of the Library even though the source code is not.
604Whether this is true is especially significant if the work can be
605linked without the Library, or if the work is itself a library.  The
606threshold for this to be true is not precisely defined by law.
607
608  If such an object file uses only numerical parameters, data
609structure layouts and accessors, and small macros and small inline
610functions (ten lines or less in length), then the use of the object
611file is unrestricted, regardless of whether it is legally a derivative
612work.  (Executables containing this object code plus portions of the
613Library will still fall under Section 6.)
614
615  Otherwise, if the work is a derivative of the Library, you may
616distribute the object code for the work under the terms of Section 6.
617Any executables containing that work also fall under Section 6,
618whether or not they are linked directly with the Library itself.
619
620  6. As an exception to the Sections above, you may also compile or
621link a "work that uses the Library" with the Library to produce a
622work containing portions of the Library, and distribute that work
623under terms of your choice, provided that the terms permit
624modification of the work for the customer's own use and reverse
625engineering for debugging such modifications.
626
627  You must give prominent notice with each copy of the work that the
628Library is used in it and that the Library and its use are covered by
629this License.  You must supply a copy of this License.  If the work
630during execution displays copyright notices, you must include the
631copyright notice for the Library among them, as well as a reference
632directing the user to the copy of this License.  Also, you must do one
633of these things:
634
635    a) Accompany the work with the complete corresponding
636    machine-readable source code for the Library including whatever
637    changes were used in the work (which must be distributed under
638    Sections 1 and 2 above); and, if the work is an executable linked
639    with the Library, with the complete machine-readable "work that
640    uses the Library", as object code and/or source code, so that the
641    user can modify the Library and then relink to produce a modified
642    executable containing the modified Library.  (It is understood
643    that the user who changes the contents of definitions files in the
644    Library will not necessarily be able to recompile the application
645    to use the modified definitions.)
646
647    b) Accompany the work with a written offer, valid for at
648    least three years, to give the same user the materials
649    specified in Subsection 6a, above, for a charge no more
650    than the cost of performing this distribution.
651
652    c) If distribution of the work is made by offering access to copy
653    from a designated place, offer equivalent access to copy the above
654    specified materials from the same place.
655
656    d) Verify that the user has already received a copy of these
657    materials or that you have already sent this user a copy.
658
659  For an executable, the required form of the "work that uses the
660Library" must include any data and utility programs needed for
661reproducing the executable from it.  However, as a special exception,
662the source code distributed need not include anything that is normally
663distributed (in either source or binary form) with the major
664components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the operating system on
665which the executable runs, unless that component itself accompanies
666the executable.
667
668  It may happen that this requirement contradicts the license
669restrictions of other proprietary libraries that do not normally
670accompany the operating system.  Such a contradiction means you cannot
671use both them and the Library together in an executable that you
672distribute.
673
674  7. You may place library facilities that are a work based on the
675Library side-by-side in a single library together with other library
676facilities not covered by this License, and distribute such a combined
677library, provided that the separate distribution of the work based on
678the Library and of the other library facilities is otherwise
679permitted, and provided that you do these two things:
680
681    a) Accompany the combined library with a copy of the same work
682    based on the Library, uncombined with any other library
683    facilities.  This must be distributed under the terms of the
684    Sections above.
685
686    b) Give prominent notice with the combined library of the fact
687    that part of it is a work based on the Library, and explaining
688    where to find the accompanying uncombined form of the same work.
689
690  8. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, link with, or distribute
691the Library except as expressly provided under this License.  Any
692attempt otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense, link with, or
693distribute the Library is void, and will automatically terminate your
694rights under this License.  However, parties who have received copies,
695or rights, from you under this License will not have their licenses
696terminated so long as such parties remain in full compliance.
697
698  9. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not
699signed it.  However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or
700distribute the Library or its derivative works.  These actions are
701prohibited by law if you do not accept this License.  Therefore, by
702modifying or distributing the Library (or any work based on the
703Library), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and
704all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying
705the Library or works based on it.
706
707  10. Each time you redistribute the Library (or any work based on the
708Library), the recipient automatically receives a license from the
709original licensor to copy, distribute, link with or modify the Library
710subject to these terms and conditions.  You may not impose any further
711restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein.
712You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to
713this License.
714
715  11. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent
716infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues),
717conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
718otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
719excuse you from the conditions of this License.  If you cannot
720distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this
721License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you
722may not distribute the Library at all.  For example, if a patent
723license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Library by
724all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then
725the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to
726refrain entirely from distribution of the Library.
727
728If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under any
729particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to apply,
730and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other circumstances.
731
732It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any
733patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any
734such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the
735integrity of the free software distribution system which is
736implemented by public license practices.  Many people have made
737generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed
738through that system in reliance on consistent application of that
739system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing
740to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot
741impose that choice.
742
743This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to
744be a consequence of the rest of this License.
745
746  12. If the distribution and/or use of the Library is restricted in
747certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the
748original copyright holder who places the Library under this License may add
749an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding those countries,
750so that distribution is permitted only in or among countries not thus
751excluded.  In such case, this License incorporates the limitation as if
752written in the body of this License.
753
754  13. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new
755versions of the Library General Public License from time to time.
756Such new versions will be similar in spirit to the present version,
757but may differ in detail to address new problems or concerns.
758
759Each version is given a distinguishing version number.  If the Library
760specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and
761"any later version", you have the option of following the terms and
762conditions either of that version or of any later version published by
763the Free Software Foundation.  If the Library does not specify a
764license version number, you may choose any version ever published by
765the Free Software Foundation.
766
767  14. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Library into other free
768programs whose distribution conditions are incompatible with these,
769write to the author to ask for permission.  For software which is
770copyrighted by the Free Software Foundation, write to the Free
771Software Foundation; we sometimes make exceptions for this.  Our
772decision will be guided by the two goals of preserving the free status
773of all derivatives of our free software and of promoting the sharing
774and reuse of software generally.
775
776			    NO WARRANTY
777
778  15. BECAUSE THE LIBRARY IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO
779WARRANTY FOR THE LIBRARY, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.
780EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR
781OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE LIBRARY "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY
782KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE
783IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
784PURPOSE.  THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE
785LIBRARY IS WITH YOU.  SHOULD THE LIBRARY PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME
786THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
787
788  16. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN
789WRITING WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY
790AND/OR REDISTRIBUTE THE LIBRARY AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU
791FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR
792CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE
793LIBRARY (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING
794RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A
795FAILURE OF THE LIBRARY TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER SOFTWARE), EVEN IF
796SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH
797DAMAGES.
798
799		     END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
800
801           How to Apply These Terms to Your New Libraries
802
803  If you develop a new library, and you want it to be of the greatest
804possible use to the public, we recommend making it free software that
805everyone can redistribute and change.  You can do so by permitting
806redistribution under these terms (or, alternatively, under the terms of the
807ordinary General Public License).
808
809  To apply these terms, attach the following notices to the library.  It is
810safest to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively
811convey the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least the
812"copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.
813
814    <one line to give the library's name and a brief idea of what it does.>
815    Copyright (C) <year>  <name of author>
816
817    This library is free software; you can redistribute it and/or
818    modify it under the terms of the GNU Library General Public
819    License as published by the Free Software Foundation; either
820    version 2 of the License, or (at your option) any later version.
821
822    This library is distributed in the hope that it will be useful,
823    but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of
824    MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.  See the GNU
825    Library General Public License for more details.
826
827    You should have received a copy of the GNU Library General Public
828    License along with this library; if not, write to the Free Software
829    Foundation, Inc., 59 Temple Place, Suite 330, Boston, MA  02111-1307  USA
830
831Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.
832
833You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or your
834school, if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the library, if
835necessary.  Here is a sample; alter the names:
836
