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

  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.
 
\item
 

	
 
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.
 

	
 
  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.
 
This option is useful when you wish to copy part of the code of the
 
Library into a program that is not a library.
 

	
 
\item
 

	
 
  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.
 
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.
 

	
 
\item
 

	
 
  When a ``work that uses the Library'' uses material from a header file
 
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.
 
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.
 

	
 
  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.
 
\item
 

	
 
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.
 
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.
 

	
 
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.
 
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:
 

	
 
This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to
 
be a consequence of the rest of this License.
 
\begin{enumerate}
 

	
 
  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.

           How to Apply These Terms to Your New Libraries
 

	
 
  If you develop a new library, and you want it to be of the greatest
 
  \item
 

	
 
    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.)
 

	
 
  \item
 

	
 
    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.
 

	
 
  \item
 

	
 
    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.
 

	
 
  \item
 

	
 
    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.
 

	
 
  \item
 

	
 
    Verify that the user has already received a copy of these materials or
 
    that you have already sent this user a copy.
 
\end{enumerate}
 

	
 
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.
 

	
 
\item
 

	
 
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:
 

	
 
\begin{enumerate}
 

	
 
   \item
 

	
 
     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.
 

	
 
   \item
 

	
 
     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.

  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

  based on it.

  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.

  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.

  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.

  copyright holder who places the Library under this License may add an

\section*{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
