|   | 		  GNU LESSER GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE | |||
|  | 		       Version 2.1, February 1999 | |||
|  | 
 | |||
|  |  Copyright (C) 1991, 1999 Free Software Foundation, Inc. | |||
|  |  51 Franklin Street, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA  02110-1301  USA | |||
|  |  Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies | |||
|  |  of this license document, but changing it is not allowed. | |||
|  | 
 | |||
|  | [This is the first released version of the Lesser GPL.  It also counts | |||
|  |  as the successor of the GNU Library Public License, version 2, hence | |||
|  |  the version number 2.1.] | |||
|  | 
 | |||
|  | 			    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. | |||
|  |  | |||
|  | 		  GNU LESSER GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE | |||
|  |    TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION | |||
|  | 
 | |||
|  |   0. This License Agreement applies to any software library or other | |||
|  | program which contains a notice placed by the copyright holder or | |||
|  | other authorized party saying it may be distributed under the terms of | |||
|  | this Lesser General Public License (also called "this License"). | |||
|  | Each licensee is addressed as "you". | |||
|  | 
 | |||
|  |   A "library" means a collection of software functions and/or data | |||
|  | prepared so as to be conveniently linked with application programs | |||
|  | (which use some of those functions and data) to form executables. | |||
|  | 
 | |||
|  |   The "Library", below, refers to any such software library or work | |||
|  | which has been distributed under these terms.  A "work based on the | |||
|  | Library" means either the Library or any derivative work under | |||
|  | copyright law: that is to say, a work containing the Library or a | |||
|  | portion of it, either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated | |||
|  | straightforwardly into another language.  (Hereinafter, translation is | |||
|  | included without limitation in the term "modification".) | |||
|  | 
 | |||
|  |   "Source code" for a work means the preferred form of the work for | |||
|  | making modifications to it.  For a library, complete source code means | |||
|  | all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any associated | |||
|  | interface definition files, plus the scripts used to control compilation | |||
|  | and installation of the library. | |||
|  | 
 | |||
|  |   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. | |||

|  |  | |||
|  |            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 a brief idea of what it does.> | |||
|  |     Copyright (C) <year>  <name of author> | |||
|  | 
 | |||
|  |     This library is free software; you can redistribute it and/or | |||
|  |     modify it under the terms of the GNU Lesser General Public | |||
|  |     License as published by the Free Software Foundation; either | |||
|  |     version 2.1 of the License, or (at your option) any later version. | |||
|  | 
 | |||
|  |     This library is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, | |||
|  |     but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of | |||
|  |     MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.  See the GNU | |||
|  |     Lesser General Public License for more details. | |||
|  | 
 | |||
|  |     You should have received a copy of the GNU Lesser General Public | |||
|  |     License along with this library; if not, write to the Free Software | |||
|  |     Foundation, Inc., 51 Franklin Street, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA  02110-1301  USA | |||
|  | 
 | |||
|  | Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail. | |||
|  | 
 | |||
|  | You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or your | |||
|  | school, if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the library, if | |||
|  | necessary.  Here is a sample; alter the names: | |||
|  | 
 | |||
|  |   Yoyodyne, Inc., hereby disclaims all copyright interest in the | |||
|  |   library `Frob' (a library for tweaking knobs) written by James Random Hacker. | |||
