inform recipients of any such Covered Software in Executable form
as to how they can obtain such Covered Software in Source Code
form in a reasonable manner on or through a medium customarily
used for software exchange.
3.2. Modifications.
The Modifications that You create or to which You contribute are
governed by the terms of this License. You represent that You
believe Your Modifications are Your original creation(s) and/or
You have sufficient rights to grant the rights conveyed by this
License.
3.3. Required Notices.
You must include a notice in each of Your Modifications that
identifies You as the Contributor of the Modification. You may
not remove or alter any copyright, patent or trademark notices
contained within the Covered Software, or any notices of licensing
or any descriptive text giving attribution to any Contributor or
the Initial Developer.
3.4. Application of Additional Terms.
You may not offer or impose any terms on any Covered Software in
Source Code form that alters or restricts the applicable version
of this License or the recipients' rights hereunder. You may
choose to offer, and to charge a fee for, warranty, support,
indemnity or liability obligations to one or more recipients of
Covered Software. However, you may do so only on Your own behalf,
and not on behalf of the Initial Developer or any Contributor.
You must make it absolutely clear that any such warranty, support,
indemnity or liability obligation is offered by You alone, and You
hereby agree to indemnify the Initial Developer and every
Contributor for any liability incurred by the Initial Developer or
such Contributor as a result of warranty, support, indemnity or
liability terms You offer.
3.5. Distribution of Executable Versions.
You may distribute the Executable form of the Covered Software
under the terms of this License or under the terms of a license of
Your choice, which may contain terms different from this License,
provided that You are in compliance with the terms of this License
and that the license for the Executable form does not attempt to
limit or alter the recipient's rights in the Source Code form from
the rights set forth in this License. If You distribute the
Covered Software in Executable form under a different license, You
must make it absolutely clear that any terms which differ from
this License are offered by You alone, not by the Initial
Developer or Contributor. You hereby agree to indemnify the
Initial Developer and every Contributor for any liability incurred
by the Initial Developer or such Contributor as a result of any
such terms You offer.
3.6. Larger Works.
You may create a Larger Work by combining Covered Software with
other code not governed by the terms of this License and
distribute the Larger Work as a single product. In such a case,
You must make sure the requirements of this License are fulfilled
for the Covered Software.
4. Versions of the License.
4.1. New Versions.
Sun Microsystems, Inc. is the initial license steward and may
publish revised and/or new versions of this License from time to
time. Each version will be given a distinguishing version number.
Except as provided in Section 4.3, no one other than the license
steward has the right to modify this License.
4.2. Effect of New Versions.
You may always continue to use, distribute or otherwise make the
Covered Software available under the terms of the version of the
License under which You originally received the Covered Software.
If the Initial Developer includes a notice in the Original
Software prohibiting it from being distributed or otherwise made
available under any subsequent version of the License, You must
distribute and make the Covered Software available under the terms
of the version of the License under which You originally received
the Covered Software. Otherwise, You may also choose to use,
distribute or otherwise make the Covered Software available under
the terms of any subsequent version of the License published by
the license steward.
4.3. Modified Versions.
When You are an Initial Developer and You want to create a new
license for Your Original Software, You may create and use a
modified version of this License if You: (a) rename the license
and remove any references to the name of the license steward
(except to note that the license differs from this License); and
(b) otherwise make it clear that the license contains terms which
differ from this License.
5. DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTY.
COVERED SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED UNDER THIS LICENSE ON AN "AS IS"
BASIS, WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED,
INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, WARRANTIES THAT THE COVERED
SOFTWARE IS FREE OF DEFECTS, MERCHANTABLE, FIT FOR A PARTICULAR
PURPOSE OR NON-INFRINGING. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND
PERFORMANCE OF THE COVERED SOFTWARE IS WITH YOU. SHOULD ANY
COVERED SOFTWARE PROVE DEFECTIVE IN ANY RESPECT, YOU (NOT THE
INITIAL DEVELOPER OR ANY OTHER CONTRIBUTOR) ASSUME THE COST OF ANY
NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION. THIS DISCLAIMER OF
WARRANTY CONSTITUTES AN ESSENTIAL PART OF THIS LICENSE. NO USE OF
ANY COVERED SOFTWARE IS AUTHORIZED HEREUNDER EXCEPT UNDER THIS
DISCLAIMER.
6. TERMINATION.
6.1. This License and the rights granted hereunder will terminate
automatically if You fail to comply with terms herein and fail to
cure such breach within 30 days of becoming aware of the breach.
Provisions which, by their nature, must remain in effect beyond
the termination of this License shall survive.
6.2. If You assert a patent infringement claim (excluding
declaratory judgment actions) against Initial Developer or a
Contributor (the Initial Developer or Contributor against whom You
assert such claim is referred to as "Participant") alleging that
the Participant Software (meaning the Contributor Version where
the Participant is a Contributor or the Original Software where
the Participant is the Initial Developer) directly or indirectly
infringes any patent, then any and all rights granted directly or
indirectly to You by such Participant, the Initial Developer (if
the Initial Developer is not the Participant) and all Contributors
under Sections 2.1 and/or 2.2 of this License shall, upon 60 days
notice from Participant terminate prospectively and automatically
at the expiration of such 60 day notice period, unless if within
such 60 day period You withdraw Your claim with respect to the
Participant Software against such Participant either unilaterally
or pursuant to a written agreement with Participant.
6.3. In the event of termination under Sections 6.1 or 6.2 above,
all end user licenses that have been validly granted by You or any
distributor hereunder prior to termination (excluding licenses
granted to You by any distributor) shall survive termination.
7. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY.
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES AND UNDER NO LEGAL THEORY, WHETHER TORT
(INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), CONTRACT, OR OTHERWISE, SHALL YOU, THE
INITIAL DEVELOPER, ANY OTHER CONTRIBUTOR, OR ANY DISTRIBUTOR OF
COVERED SOFTWARE, OR ANY SUPPLIER OF ANY OF SUCH PARTIES, BE
LIABLE TO ANY PERSON FOR ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, OR
CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OF ANY CHARACTER INCLUDING, WITHOUT
LIMITATION, DAMAGES FOR LOST PROFITS, LOSS OF GOODWILL, WORK
STOPPAGE, COMPUTER FAILURE OR MALFUNCTION, OR ANY AND ALL OTHER
COMMERCIAL DAMAGES OR LOSSES, EVEN IF SUCH PARTY SHALL HAVE BEEN
INFORMED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. THIS LIMITATION OF
LIABILITY SHALL NOT APPLY TO LIABILITY FOR DEATH OR PERSONAL
INJURY RESULTING FROM SUCH PARTY'S NEGLIGENCE TO THE EXTENT
APPLICABLE LAW PROHIBITS SUCH LIMITATION. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO
NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF INCIDENTAL OR
CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO THIS EXCLUSION AND LIMITATION MAY NOT
APPLY TO YOU.
8. U.S. GOVERNMENT END USERS.
The Covered Software is a "commercial item," as that term is
defined in 48 C.F.R. 2.101 (Oct. 1995), consisting of "commercial
computer software" (as that term is defined at 48
C.F.R. 252.227-7014(a)(1)) and "commercial computer software
documentation" as such terms are used in 48 C.F.R. 12.212
(Sept. 1995). Consistent with 48 C.F.R. 12.212 and 48
C.F.R. 227.7202-1 through 227.7202-4 (June 1995), all
U.S. Government End Users acquire Covered Software with only those
rights set forth herein. This U.S. Government Rights clause is in
lieu of, and supersedes, any other FAR, DFAR, or other clause or
provision that addresses Government rights in computer software
under this License.
9. MISCELLANEOUS.
This License represents the complete agreement concerning subject
matter hereof. If any provision of this License is held to be
unenforceable, such provision shall be reformed only to the extent
necessary to make it enforceable. This License shall be governed
by the law of the jurisdiction specified in a notice contained
within the Original Software (except to the extent applicable law,
if any, provides otherwise), excluding such jurisdiction's
conflict-of-law provisions. Any litigation relating to this
License shall be subject to the jurisdiction of the courts located
in the jurisdiction and venue specified in a notice contained
within the Original Software, with the losing party responsible
for costs, including, without limitation, court costs and
reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses. The application of the
United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale
of Goods is expressly excluded. Any law or regulation which
provides that the language of a contract shall be construed
against the drafter shall not apply to this License. You agree
that You alone are responsible for compliance with the United
States export administration regulations (and the export control
laws and regulation of any other countries) when You use,
distribute or otherwise make available any Covered Software.
10. RESPONSIBILITY FOR CLAIMS.
As between Initial Developer and the Contributors, each party is
responsible for claims and damages arising, directly or
indirectly, out of its utilization of rights under this License
and You agree to work with Initial Developer and Contributors to
distribute such responsibility on an equitable basis. Nothing
herein is intended or shall be deemed to constitute any admission
of liability.

Use of any of this software is governed by the terms of the license below:
GNU LESSER GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
Version 2.1, February 1999
Copyright (C) 1991, 1999 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
59 Temple Place, Suite 330, Boston, MA 02111-1307 USA
Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
[This is the first released version of the Lesser GPL. It also counts
as the successor of the GNU Library Public License, version 2, hence
the version number 2.1.]
Preamble
The licenses for most software are designed to take away your freedom to
share and change it. By contrast,
the GNU General Public Licenses are intended to guarantee your freedom
to share and change free
software--to make sure the software is free for all its users.
This license, the Lesser General Public License, applies to some
specially designated software
packages--typically libraries--of the Free Software Foundation and other
authors who decide to use it. You
can use it too, but we suggest you first think carefully about whether
this license or the ordinary General
Public License is the better strategy to use in any particular case,
based on the explanations below.
When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom of use, not
price. Our General Public Licenses
are designed to make sure that you have the freedom to distribute copies
of free software (and charge for
this service if you wish); that you receive source code or can get it if
you want it; that you can change the
software and use pieces of it in new free programs; and that you are
informed that you can do these things.
To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid
distributors to deny you these rights or to
ask you to surrender these rights. These restrictions translate to
certain responsibilities for you if you
distribute copies of the library or if you modify it.
For example, if you distribute copies of the library, whether gratis or
for a fee, you must give the recipients
all the rights that we gave you. You must make sure that they, too,
receive or can get the source code. If you
link other code with the library, you must provide complete object files
to the recipients, so that they can
relink them with the library after making changes to the library and
recompiling it. And you must show
them these terms so they know their rights.
We protect your rights with a two-step method: (1) we copyright 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.
TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION
0. This License Agreement applies to any software library or other
program which contains a notice placed
by the copyright holder or other authorized party saying it may be
distributed under the terms of this Lesser
General Public License (also called "this License"). Each licensee is
addressed as "you".
A "library" means a collection of software functions and/or data
prepared so as to be conveniently linked
with application programs (which use some of those functions and data)
to form executables.
The "Library", below, refers to any such software library or work which
has been distributed under these
terms. A "work based on the Library" means either the Library or any
derivative work under copyright law:
that is to say, a work containing the Library or a portion of it, either
verbatim or with modifications and/or
translated straightforwardly into another language. (Hereinafter,
translation is included without limitation in
the term "modification".)
"Source code" for a work means the preferred form of the work for making
modifications to it. For a library,
complete source code means all the source code for all modules it
contains, plus any associated interface
definition files, plus the scripts used to control compilation and
installation of the library.
Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not
covered by this License; they are outside
its scope. The act of running a program using the Library is not
restricted, and output from such a program
is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the Library
(independent of the use of the Library in
a tool for writing it). Whether that is true depends on what the Library
does and what the program that uses
the Library does.
1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Library's complete
source code as you receive it, in
any medium, provided that you conspicuously and appropriately publish on
each copy an appropriate
copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the notices
that refer to this License and to the
absence of any warranty; and distribute a copy of this License along
with the Library.
You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and
you may at your option offer warranty
protection in exchange for a fee.
2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Library or any portion of
it, thus forming a work based on the
Library, and copy and distribute such modifications or work under the
terms of Section 1 above, provided
that you also meet all of these conditions:
a) The modified work must itself be a software library.
b) You must cause the files modified to carry prominent notices stating
that you changed the files and
the date of any change.
c) You must cause the whole of the work to be licensed at no charge to
all third parties under the terms
of this License.
d) If a facility in the modified Library refers to a function or a table
of data to be supplied by an
application program that uses the facility, other than as an argument
passed when the facility is
invoked, then you must make a good faith effort to ensure that, in the
event an application does not
supply such function or table, the facility still operates, and performs
whatever part of its purpose
remains meaningful.
(For example, a function in a library to compute square roots has a
purpose that is entirely well-defined
independent of the application. Therefore, Subsection 2d requires that
any application-supplied
function or table used by this function must be optional: if the
application does not supply it, the square
root function must still compute square roots.)
These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If
identifiable sections of that work are not
derived from the Library, and can be reasonably considered independent
and separate works in
themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those
sections when you distribute them as
separate works. But when you distribute the same sections as part of a
whole which is a work based on
the Library, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of this
License, whose permissions for
other licensees extend to the entire whole, and thus to each and every
part regardless of who wrote it.
Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest
your rights to work written entirely by
you; rather, the intent is to exercise the right to control the
distribution of derivative or collective works
based on the Library.
In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Library
with the Library (or with a work
based on the Library) on a volume of a storage or distribution medium
does not bring the other work
under the scope of this License.
3. You may opt to apply the terms of the ordinary GNU General Public
License instead of this License to a
given copy of the Library. To do this, you must alter all the notices
that refer to this License, so that they refer
to the ordinary GNU General Public License, version 2, instead of to
this License. (If a newer version than
version 2 of the ordinary GNU General Public License has appeared, then
you can specify that version instead
if you wish.) Do not make any other change in these notices.
Once this change is made in a given copy, it is irreversible for that
copy, so the ordinary GNU General Public
License applies to all subsequent copies and derivative works made from
that copy.
This option is useful when you wish to copy part of the code of the
Library into a program that is not a
library.
4. You may copy and distribute the Library (or a portion or derivative
of it, under Section 2) in object code or
executable form under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above provided that
you accompany it with the
complete corresponding machine-readable source code, which must be
distributed under the terms of
Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software
interchange.
If distribution of object code is made by offering access to copy from a
designated place, then offering
equivalent access to copy the source code from the same place satisfies
the requirement to distribute the
source code, even though third parties are not compelled to copy the
source along with the object code.
5. A program that contains no derivative of any portion of the Library,
but is designed to work with the
Library by being compiled or linked with it, is called a "work that uses
the Library". Such a work, in isolation,
is not a derivative work of the Library, and therefore falls outside the
scope of this License.
However, linking a "work that uses the Library" with the Library creates
an executable that is a derivative of
the Library (because it contains portions of the Library), rather than a
"work that uses the library". The
executable is therefore covered by this License. Section 6 states terms
for distribution of such executables.
When a "work that uses the Library" uses material from a header file
that is part of the Library, the object
code for the work may be a derivative work of the Library even though
the source code is not. Whether this is
true is especially significant if the work can be linked without the
Library, or if the work is itself a library.
The threshold for this to be true is not precisely defined by law.
If such an object file uses only numerical parameters, data structure
layouts and accessors, and small macros
and small inline functions (ten lines or less in length), then the use
of the object file is unrestricted,
regardless of whether it is legally a derivative work. (Executables
containing this object code plus portions of
the Library will still fall under Section 6.)
Otherwise, if the work is a derivative of the Library, you may
distribute the object code for the work under
the terms of Section 6. Any executables containing that work also fall
under Section 6, whether or not they
are linked directly with the Library itself.
6. As an exception to the Sections above, you may also combine or link a
"work that uses the Library" with
the Library to produce a work containing portions of the Library, and
distribute that work under terms of
your choice, provided that the terms permit modification of the work for
the customer's own use and reverse
engineering for debugging such modifications.
You must give prominent notice with each copy of the work that the
Library is used in it and that the Library
and its use are covered by this License. You must supply a copy of this
License. If the work during execution
displays copyright notices, you must include the copyright notice for
the Library among them, as well as a
reference directing the user to the copy of this License. Also, you must
do one of these things:
a) Accompany the work with the complete corresponding machine-readable
source code for the Library
including whatever changes were used in the work (which must be
distributed under Sections 1 and 2
above); and, if the work is an executable linked with the Library, with
the complete machine-readable
"work that uses the Library", as object code and/or source code, so that
the user can modify the Library
and then relink to produce a modified executable containing the modified
Library. (It is understood that
the user who changes the contents of definitions files in the Library
will not necessarily be able to
recompile the application to use the modified definitions.)
b) Use a suitable shared library mechanism for linking with the Library.
A suitable mechanism is one
that (1) uses at run time a copy of the library already present on the
user's computer system, rather than
copying library functions into the executable, and (2) will operate
properly with a modified version of
the library, if the user installs one, as long as the modified version
is interface-compatible with the
version that the work was made with.
c) Accompany the work with a written offer, valid for at least three
years, to give the same user the
materials specified in Subsection 6a, above, for a charge no more than
the cost of performing this
distribution.
d) If distribution of the work is made by offering access to copy from a
designated place, offer
equivalent access to copy the above specified materials from the same
place.
e) Verify that the user has already received a copy of these materials
or that you have already sent this
user a copy.
For an executable, the required form of the "work that uses the Library"
must include any data and utility
programs needed for reproducing the executable from it. However, as a
special exception, the materials to be
distributed need not include anything that is normally distributed (in
either source or binary form) with the
major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the operating system
on which the executable runs,
unless that component itself accompanies the executable.
It may happen that this requirement contradicts the license restrictions
of other proprietary libraries that do
not normally accompany the operating system. Such a contradiction means
you cannot use both them and
the Library together in an executable that you distribute.
7. You may place library facilities that are a work based on the Library
side-by-side in a single library
together with other library facilities not covered by this License, and
distribute such a combined library,
provided that the separate distribution of the work based on the Library
and of the other library facilities is
otherwise permitted, and provided that you do these two things:
a) Accompany the combined library with a copy of the same work based on
the Library, uncombined
with any other library facilities. This must be distributed under the
terms of the Sections above.
b) Give prominent notice with the combined library of the fact that part
of it is a work based on the
Library, and explaining where to find the accompanying uncombined form
of the same work.
8. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, link with, or distribute the
Library except as expressly provided
under this License. Any attempt otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense,
link with, or distribute the Library is
void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License.
However, parties who have received
copies, or rights, from you under this License will not have their
licenses terminated so long as such parties
remain in full compliance.
9. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not
signed it. However, nothing else grants you
permission to modify or distribute the Library or its derivative works.
These actions are prohibited by law if
you do not accept this License. Therefore, by modifying or distributing
the Library (or any work based on the
Library), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and all
its terms and conditions for copying,
distributing or modifying the Library or works based on it.
10. Each time you redistribute the Library (or any work based on the
Library), the recipient automatically
receives a license from the original licensor to copy, distribute, link
with or modify the Library subject to
these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further restrictions
on the recipients' exercise of the
rights granted herein. You are not responsible for enforcing compliance
by third parties with this License.
11. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent
infringement or for any other reason (not
limited to patent issues), conditions are imposed on you (whether by
court order, agreement or otherwise)
that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not excuse you
from the conditions of this License. If
you cannot distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations
under this License and any other
pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you may not distribute the
Library at all. For example, if a
patent license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the
Library by all those who receive copies
directly or indirectly through you, then the only way you could satisfy
both it and this License would be to
refrain entirely from distribution of the Library.
If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under
any particular circumstance, the balance
of the section is intended to apply, and the section as a whole is
intended to apply in other circumstances.
It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any
patents or other property right claims or to
contest validity of any such claims; this section has the sole purpose
of protecting the integrity of the free
software distribution system which is implemented by public license
practices. Many people have made
generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed through
that system in reliance on
consistent application of that system; it is up to the author/donor to
decide if he or she is willing to
distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot
impose that choice.
This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to be
a consequence of the rest of this
License.
12. If the distribution and/or use of the Library is restricted in
certain countries either by patents or by
copyrighted interfaces, the original copyright holder who places the
Library under this License may add an
explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding those countries,
so that distribution is permitted only
in or among countries not thus excluded. In such case, this License
incorporates the limitation as if written
in the body of this License.
13. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions
of the Lesser General Public
License from time to time. Such new versions will be similar in spirit
to the present version, but may differ in
detail to address new problems or concerns.
Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Library
specifies a version number of this
License which applies to it and "any later version", you have the option
of following the terms and conditions
either of that version or of any later version published by the Free
Software Foundation. If the Library does
not specify a license version number, you may choose any version ever
published by the Free Software
Foundation.
14. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Library into other free
programs whose distribution conditions are
incompatible with these, write to the author to ask for permission. For
software which is copyrighted by the
Free Software Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we
sometimes make exceptions for this.
Our decision will be guided by the two goals of preserving the free
status of all derivatives of our free
software and of promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally.
NO WARRANTY
15. BECAUSE THE LIBRARY IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY
FOR THE LIBRARY, TO THE
EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN
WRITING THE COPYRIGHT
HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE LIBRARY "AS IS" WITHOUT
WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER
EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED
WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY
AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY
AND PERFORMANCE OF THE
LIBRARY IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE LIBRARY PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE
COST OF ALL NECESSARY
SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
16. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN
WRITING WILL ANY COPYRIGHT
HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR REDISTRIBUTE THE
LIBRARY AS PERMITTED
ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL,
INCIDENTAL OR
CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE
LIBRARY (INCLUDING BUT
NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES
SUSTAINED BY YOU OR
THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE LIBRARY TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER
SOFTWARE), EVEN IF SUCH
HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
How to Apply These Terms to Your New Libraries
If you develop a new library, and you want it to be of the greatest
possible use to the public, we recommend
making it free software that everyone can redistribute and change. You
can do so by permitting
redistribution under these terms (or, alternatively, under the terms of
the ordinary General Public License).
To apply these terms, attach the following notices to the library. It is
safest to attach them to the start of each
source file to most effectively convey the exclusion of warranty; and
each file should have at least the
"copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.
one line to give the library's name and an idea of what it does.

GNU LIBRARY GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
Version 2, June 1991
Copyright (C) 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.
[This is the first released version of the library GPL. It is
numbered 2 because it goes with version 2 of the ordinary GPL.]
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 Library General Public License, applies to some
specially designated Free Software Foundation software, and to any
other libraries whose authors decide to use it. You can use it for
your libraries, 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 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 a program 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.
Our method of protecting your rights has two steps: (1) copyright
the library, and (2) offer you this license which gives you legal
permission to copy, distribute and/or modify the library.
Also, for each distributor's protection, we want to make certain
that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free
library. If the library is modified by someone else and passed on, we
want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original
version, 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 companies distributing free
software will individually obtain patent licenses, thus in effect
transforming the program into proprietary software. To prevent this,
we have made it clear that any patent must be licensed for everyone's
free use or not licensed at all.
Most GNU software, including some libraries, is covered by the ordinary
GNU General Public License, which was designed for utility programs. This
license, the GNU Library General Public License, applies to certain
designated libraries. This license is quite different from the ordinary
one; be sure to read it in full, and don't assume that anything in it is
the same as in the ordinary license.
The reason we have a separate public license for some libraries is that
they blur the distinction we usually make between modifying or adding to a
program and simply using it. Linking a program with a library, without
changing the library, is in some sense simply using the library, and is
analogous to running a utility program or application program. However, in
a textual and legal sense, the linked executable is a combined work, a
derivative of the original library, and the ordinary General Public License
treats it as such.
Because of this blurred distinction, using the ordinary General
Public License for libraries did not effectively promote software
sharing, because most developers did not use the libraries. We
concluded that weaker conditions might promote sharing better.
However, unrestricted linking of non-free programs would deprive the
users of those programs of all benefit from the free status of the
libraries themselves. This Library General Public License is intended to
permit developers of non-free programs to use free libraries, while
preserving your freedom as a user of such programs to change the free
libraries that are incorporated in them. (We have not seen how to achieve
this as regards changes in header files, but we have achieved it as regards
changes in the actual functions of the Library.) The hope is that this
will lead to faster development of free libraries.
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, while the latter only
works together with the library.
Note that it is possible for a library to be covered by the ordinary
General Public License rather than by this special one.
GNU LIBRARY GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION
0. This License Agreement applies to any software library which
contains a notice placed by the copyright holder or other authorized
party saying it may be distributed under the terms of this Library
General Public License (also called "this License"). Each licensee is
addressed as "you".
A "library" means a collection of software functions and/or data
prepared so as to be conveniently linked with application programs
(which use some of those functions and data) to form executables.
The "Library", below, refers to any such software library or work
which has been distributed under these terms. A "work based on the
Library" means either the Library or any derivative work under
copyright law: that is to say, a work containing the Library or a
portion of it, either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated
straightforwardly into another language. (Hereinafter, translation is
included without limitation in the term "modification".)
"Source code" for a work means the preferred form of the work for
making modifications to it. For a library, complete source code means
all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any associated
interface definition files, plus the scripts used to control compilation
and installation of the library.
Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not
covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of
running a program using the Library is not restricted, and output from
such a program is covered only if its contents constitute a work based
on the Library (independent of the use of the Library in a tool for
writing it). Whether that is true depends on what the Library does
and what the program that uses the Library does.
1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Library's
complete source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that
you conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an
appropriate copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact
all the notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any
warranty; and distribute a copy of this License along with the
Library.
You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy,
and you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a
fee.
2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Library or any portion
of it, thus forming a work based on the Library, and copy and
distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1
above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
a) The modified work must itself be a software library.
b) You must cause the files modified to carry prominent notices
stating that you changed the files and the date of any change.
c) You must cause the whole of the work to be licensed at no
charge to all third parties under the terms of this License.
d) If a facility in the modified Library refers to a function or a
table of data to be supplied by an application program that uses
the facility, other than as an argument passed when the facility
is invoked, then you must make a good faith effort to ensure that,
in the event an application does not supply such function or
table, the facility still operates, and performs whatever part of
its purpose remains meaningful.
(For example, a function in a library to compute square roots has
a purpose that is entirely well-defined independent of the
application. Therefore, Subsection 2d requires that any
application-supplied function or table used by this function must
be optional: if the application does not supply it, the square
root function must still compute square roots.)
These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If
identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Library,
and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in
themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those
sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you
distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based
on the Library, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of
this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the
entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote
it.
Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest
your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to
exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or
collective works based on the Library.
In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Library
with the Library (or with a work based on the Library) on a volume of
a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under
the scope of this License.
3. You may opt to apply the terms of the ordinary GNU General Public
License instead of this License to a given copy of the Library. To do
this, you must alter all the notices that refer to this License, so
that they refer to the ordinary GNU General Public License, version 2,
instead of to this License. (If a newer version than version 2 of the
ordinary GNU General Public License has appeared, then you can specify
that version instead if you wish.) Do not make any other change in
these notices.
Once this change is made in a given copy, it is irreversible for
that copy, so the ordinary GNU General Public License applies to all
subsequent copies and derivative works made from that copy.
This option is useful when you wish to copy part of the code of
the Library into a program that is not a library.
4. You may copy and distribute the Library (or a portion or
derivative of it, under Section 2) in object code or executable form
under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you accompany
it with the complete corresponding machine-readable source code, which
must be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a
medium customarily used for software interchange.
If distribution of object code is made by offering access to copy
from a designated place, then offering equivalent access to copy the
source code from the same place satisfies the requirement to
distribute the source code, even though third parties are not
compelled to copy the source along with the object code.
5. A program that contains no derivative of any portion of the
Library, but is designed to work with the Library by being compiled or
linked with it, is called a "work that uses the Library". Such a
work, in isolation, is not a derivative work of the Library, and
therefore falls outside the scope of this License.
However, linking a "work that uses the Library" with the Library
creates an executable that is a derivative of the Library (because it
contains portions of the Library), rather than a "work that uses the
library". The executable is therefore covered by this License.
Section 6 states terms for distribution of such executables.
When a "work that uses the Library" uses material from a header file
that is part of the Library, the object code for the work may be a
derivative work of the Library even though the source code is not.
Whether this is true is especially significant if the work can be
linked without the Library, or if the work is itself a library. The
threshold for this to be true is not precisely defined by law.
If such an object file uses only numerical parameters, data
structure layouts and accessors, and small macros and small inline
functions (ten lines or less in length), then the use of the object
file is unrestricted, regardless of whether it is legally a derivative
work. (Executables containing this object code plus portions of the
Library will still fall under Section 6.)
Otherwise, if the work is a derivative of the Library, you may
distribute the object code for the work under the terms of Section 6.
Any executables containing that work also fall under Section 6,
whether or not they are linked directly with the Library itself.
6. As an exception to the Sections above, you may also compile 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) 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.
c) 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.
d) 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 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.
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 to
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 Library 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.
