     non-exclusive license, subject to third party intellectual property
 
     claims:
 
          (a)  under intellectual property rights (other than patent or
 
          trademark) Licensable by Initial Developer to use, reproduce,
 
          modify, display, perform, sublicense and distribute the Original
 
          Code (or portions thereof) with or without Modifications, and/or
 
          as part of a Larger Work; and
 
 
 
          (b) under Patents Claims infringed by the making, using or
 
          selling of Original Code, to make, have made, use, practice,
 
          sell, and offer for sale, and/or otherwise dispose of the
 
          Original Code (or portions thereof).
 
 
 
          (c) the licenses granted in this Section 2.1(a) and (b) are
 
          effective on the date Initial Developer first distributes
 
          Original Code under the terms of this License.
 
 
 
          (d) Notwithstanding Section 2.1(b) above, no patent license is
 
          granted: 1) for code that You delete from the Original Code; 2)
 
          separate from the Original Code;  or 3) for infringements caused
 
          by: i) the modification of the Original Code or ii) the
 
          combination of the Original Code with other software or devices.
 
 
 
     2.2. Contributor Grant.
 
     Subject to third party intellectual property claims, each Contributor
 
     hereby grants You a world-wide, royalty-free, non-exclusive license
 
 
 
          (a)  under intellectual property rights (other than patent or
 
          trademark) Licensable by Contributor, to use, reproduce, modify,
 
          display, perform, sublicense and distribute the Modifications
 
          created by such Contributor (or portions thereof) either on an
 
          unmodified basis, with other Modifications, as Covered Code
 
          and/or as part of a Larger Work; and
 
 
 
          (b) under Patent Claims infringed by the making, using, or
 
          selling of  Modifications made by that Contributor either alone
 
          and/or in combination with its Contributor Version (or portions
 
          of such combination), to make, use, sell, offer for sale, have
 
          made, and/or otherwise dispose of: 1) Modifications made by that
 
          Contributor (or portions thereof); and 2) the combination of
 
          Modifications made by that Contributor with its Contributor
 
          Version (or portions of such combination).
 
 
 
          (c) the licenses granted in Sections 2.2(a) and 2.2(b) are
 
          effective on the date Contributor first makes Commercial Use of
 
          the Covered Code.
 
 
 
          (d)    Notwithstanding Section 2.2(b) above, no patent license is
 
          granted: 1) for any code that Contributor has deleted from the
 
          Contributor Version; 2)  separate from the Contributor Version;
 
          3)  for infringements caused by: i) third party modifications of
 
          Contributor Version or ii)  the combination of Modifications made
 
          by that Contributor with other software  (except as part of the
 
          Contributor Version) or other devices; or 4) under Patent Claims
 
          infringed by Covered Code in the absence of Modifications made by
 
          that Contributor.
 
 
 
3. Distribution Obligations.
 
 
 
     3.1. Application of License.
 
     The Modifications which You create or to which You contribute are
 
     governed by the terms of this License, including without limitation
 
     Section 2.2. The Source Code version of Covered Code may be
 
     distributed only under the terms of this License or a future version
 
     of this License released under Section 6.1, and You must include a
 
     copy of this License with every copy of the Source Code You
 
     distribute. You may not offer or impose any terms on any Source Code
 
     version that alters or restricts the applicable version of this
 
     License or the recipients' rights hereunder. However, You may include
 
     an additional document offering the additional rights described in
 
     Section 3.5.
 
 
 
     3.2. Availability of Source Code.
 
     Any Modification which You create or to which You contribute must be
 
     made available in Source Code form under the terms of this License
 
     either on the same media as an Executable version or via an accepted
 
     Electronic Distribution Mechanism to anyone to whom you made an
 
     Executable version available; and if made available via Electronic
 
     Distribution Mechanism, must remain available for at least twelve (12)
 
     months after the date it initially became available, or at least six
 
     (6) months after a subsequent version of that particular Modification
 
     has been made available to such recipients. You are responsible for
 
     ensuring that the Source Code version remains available even if the
 
     Electronic Distribution Mechanism is maintained by a third party.
 
 
 
     3.3. Description of Modifications.
 
     You must cause all Covered Code to which You contribute to contain a
 
     file documenting the changes You made to create that Covered Code and
 
     the date of any change. You must include a prominent statement that
 
     the Modification is derived, directly or indirectly, from Original
 
     Code provided by the Initial Developer and including the name of the
 
     Initial Developer in (a) the Source Code, and (b) in any notice in an
 
     Executable version or related documentation in which You describe the
 
     origin or ownership of the Covered Code.
 
 
 
     3.4. Intellectual Property Matters
 
          (a) Third Party Claims.
 
          If Contributor has knowledge that a license under a third party's
 
          intellectual property rights is required to exercise the rights
 
          granted by such Contributor under Sections 2.1 or 2.2,
 
          Contributor must include a text file with the Source Code
 
          distribution titled "LEGAL" which describes the claim and the
 
          party making the claim in sufficient detail that a recipient will
 
          know whom to contact. If Contributor obtains such knowledge after
 
          the Modification is made available as described in Section 3.2,
 
          Contributor shall promptly modify the LEGAL file in all copies
 
          Contributor makes available thereafter and shall take other steps
 
          (such as notifying appropriate mailing lists or newsgroups)
 
          reasonably calculated to inform those who received the Covered
 
          Code that new knowledge has been obtained.
 
 
 
          (b) Contributor APIs.
 
          If Contributor's Modifications include an application programming
 
          interface and Contributor has knowledge of patent licenses which
 
          are reasonably necessary to implement that API, Contributor must
 
          also include this information in the LEGAL file.
 
 
 
               (c)    Representations.
 
          Contributor represents that, except as disclosed pursuant to
 
          Section 3.4(a) above, Contributor believes that Contributor's
 
          Modifications are Contributor's original creation(s) and/or
 
          Contributor has sufficient rights to grant the rights conveyed by
 
          this License.
 
 
 
     3.5. Required Notices.
 
     You must duplicate the notice in Exhibit A in each file of the Source
 
     Code.  If it is not possible to put such notice in a particular Source
 
     Code file due to its structure, then You must include such notice in a
 
     location (such as a relevant directory) where a user would be likely
 
     to look for such a notice.  If You created one or more Modification(s)
 
     You may add your name as a Contributor to the notice described in
 
     Exhibit A.  You must also duplicate this License in any documentation
 
     for the Source Code where You describe recipients' rights or ownership
 
     rights relating to Covered Code.  You may choose to offer, and to
 
     charge a fee for, warranty, support, indemnity or liability
 
     obligations to one or more recipients of Covered Code. 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 than
 
     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.
 
 
 
     3.6. Distribution of Executable Versions.
 
     You may distribute Covered Code in Executable form only if the
 
     requirements of Section 3.1-3.5 have been met for that Covered Code,
 
     and if You include a notice stating that the Source Code version of
 
     the Covered Code is available under the terms of this License,
 
     including a description of how and where You have fulfilled the
 
     obligations of Section 3.2. The notice must be conspicuously included
 
     in any notice in an Executable version, related documentation or
 
     collateral in which You describe recipients' rights relating to the
 
     Covered Code. You may distribute the Executable version of Covered
 
     Code or ownership rights under 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 version does not attempt to limit or alter the recipient's
 
     rights in the Source Code version from the rights set forth in this
 
     License. If You distribute the Executable version 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 any 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.
 
 
 
     3.7. Larger Works.
 
     You may create a Larger Work by combining Covered Code 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 Code.
 
 
 
4. Inability to Comply Due to Statute or Regulation.
 
 
 
     If it is impossible for You to comply with any of the terms of this
 
     License with respect to some or all of the Covered Code due to
 
     statute, judicial order, or regulation then You must: (a) comply with
 
     the terms of this License to the maximum extent possible; and (b)
 
     describe the limitations and the code they affect. Such description
 
     must be included in the LEGAL file described in Section 3.4 and must
 
     be included with all distributions of the Source Code. Except to the
 
     extent prohibited by statute or regulation, such description must be
 
     sufficiently detailed for a recipient of ordinary skill to be able to
 
     understand it.
 
 
 
5. Application of this License.
 
 
 
     This License applies to code to which the Initial Developer has
 
     attached the notice in Exhibit A and to related Covered Code.
 
 
 
6. Versions of the License.
 
 
 
     6.1. New Versions.
 
     Netscape Communications Corporation ("Netscape") may publish revised
 
     and/or new versions of the License from time to time. Each version
 
     will be given a distinguishing version number.
 
 
 
     6.2. Effect of New Versions.
 
     Once Covered Code has been published under a particular version of the
 
     License, You may always continue to use it under the terms of that
 
     version. You may also choose to use such Covered Code under the terms
 
     of any subsequent version of the License published by Netscape. No one
 
     other than Netscape has the right to modify the terms applicable to
 
     Covered Code created under this License.
 
 
 
     6.3. Derivative Works.
 
     If You create or use a modified version of this License (which you may
 
     only do in order to apply it to code which is not already Covered Code
 
     governed by this License), You must (a) rename Your license so that
 
     the phrases "Mozilla", "MOZILLAPL", "MOZPL", "Netscape",
 
     "MPL", "NPL" or any confusingly similar phrase do not appear in your
 
     license (except to note that your license differs from this License)
 
     and (b) otherwise make it clear that Your version of the license
 
     contains terms which differ from the Mozilla Public License and
 
     Netscape Public License. (Filling in the name of the Initial
 
     Developer, Original Code or Contributor in the notice described in
 
     Exhibit A shall not of themselves be deemed to be modifications of
 
     this License.)
 
 
 
7. DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTY.
 
 
 
     COVERED CODE 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 CODE 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 CODE
 
     IS WITH YOU. SHOULD ANY COVERED CODE 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 CODE IS AUTHORIZED HEREUNDER EXCEPT UNDER THIS DISCLAIMER.
 
 
 
8. TERMINATION.
 
 
 
     8.1.  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. All
 
     sublicenses to the Covered Code which are properly granted shall
 
     survive any termination of this License. Provisions which, by their
 
     nature, must remain in effect beyond the termination of this License
 
     shall survive.
 
 
 
     8.2.  If You initiate litigation by asserting a patent infringement
 
     claim (excluding declatory judgment actions) against Initial Developer
 
     or a Contributor (the Initial Developer or Contributor against whom
 
     You file such action is referred to as "Participant")  alleging that:
 
 
 
     (a)  such Participant's Contributor Version directly or indirectly
 
     infringes any patent, then any and all rights granted by such
 
     Participant to You under Sections 2.1 and/or 2.2 of this License
 
     shall, upon 60 days notice from Participant terminate prospectively,
 
     unless if within 60 days after receipt of notice You either: (i)
 
     agree in writing to pay Participant a mutually agreeable reasonable
 
     royalty for Your past and future use of Modifications made by such
 
     Participant, or (ii) withdraw Your litigation claim with respect to
 
     the Contributor Version against such Participant.  If within 60 days
 
     of notice, a reasonable royalty and payment arrangement are not
 
     mutually agreed upon in writing by the parties or the litigation claim
 
     is not withdrawn, the rights granted by Participant to You under
 
     Sections 2.1 and/or 2.2 automatically terminate at the expiration of
 
     the 60 day notice period specified above.
 
 
 
     (b)  any software, hardware, or device, other than such Participant's
 
     Contributor Version, directly or indirectly infringes any patent, then
 
     any rights granted to You by such Participant under Sections 2.1(b)
 
     and 2.2(b) are revoked effective as of the date You first made, used,
 
     sold, distributed, or had made, Modifications made by that
 
     Participant.
 
 
 
     8.3.  If You assert a patent infringement claim against Participant
 
     alleging that such Participant's Contributor Version directly or
 
     indirectly infringes any patent where such claim is resolved (such as
 
     by license or settlement) prior to the initiation of patent
 
     infringement litigation, then the reasonable value of the licenses
 
     granted by such Participant under Sections 2.1 or 2.2 shall be taken
 
     into account in determining the amount or value of any payment or
 
     license.
 
 
 
     8.4.  In the event of termination under Sections 8.1 or 8.2 above,
 
     all end user license agreements (excluding distributors and resellers)
 
     which have been validly granted by You or any distributor hereunder
 
     prior to termination shall survive termination.
 
 
 
9. 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 CODE,
 
     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 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.
 
 
 
10. U.S. GOVERNMENT END USERS.
 
 
 
     The Covered Code is a "commercial item," as that term is defined in
 
     48 C.F.R. 2.101 (Oct. 1995), consisting of "commercial computer
 
     software" 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 Code with only those
 
     rights set forth herein.
 
 
 
11. 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
 
     California law provisions (except to the extent applicable law, if
 
     any, provides otherwise), excluding its conflict-of-law provisions.
 
     With respect to disputes in which at least one party is a citizen of,
 
     or an entity chartered or registered to do business in the United
 
     States of America, any litigation relating to this License shall be
 
     subject to the jurisdiction of the Federal Courts of the Northern
 
     District of California, with venue lying in Santa Clara County,
 
     California, 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.
 
 
 
12. RESPONSIBILITY FOR CLAIMS.
 
 
 
     As between Initial Developer and the Contributors, each party is

                    GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
 
                       Version 2, June 1991
 
 
 
 Copyright (C) 1989, 1991 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.
 
 
 
                            Preamble
 
 
 
  The licenses for most software are designed to take away your
 
freedom to share and change it.  By contrast, the GNU General Public
 
License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free
 
software--to make sure the software is free for all its users.  This
 
General Public License applies to most of the Free Software
 
Foundation's software and to any other program whose authors commit to
 
using it.  (Some other Free Software Foundation software is covered by
 
the GNU Library General Public License instead.)  You can apply it to
 
your programs, too.
 
 
 
  When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not
 
price.  Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you
 
have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for
 
this service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it
 
if you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it
 
in new free programs; and that you know you can do these things.
 
 
 
  To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid
 
anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights.
 
These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you
 
distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it.
 
 
 
  For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether
 
gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that
 
you have.  You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the
 
source code.  And you must show them these terms so they know their
 
rights.
 
 
 
  We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and
 
(2) offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy,
 
distribute and/or modify the software.
 
 
 
  Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain
 
that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free
 
software.  If the software is modified by someone else and passed on, we
 
want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so
 
that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original
 
authors' reputations.
 
 
 
  Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software
 
patents.  We wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free
 
program will individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the
 
program proprietary.  To prevent this, we have made it clear that any
 
patent must be licensed for everyone's free use or not licensed at all.
 
 
 
  The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
 
modification follow.
 
 
 
                    GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
 
   TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION
 
 
 
  0. This License applies to any program or other work which contains
 
a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed
 
under the terms of this General Public License.  The "Program", below,
 
refers to any such program or work, and a "work based on the Program"
 
means either the Program or any derivative work under copyright law:
 
that is to say, a work containing the Program or a portion of it,
 
either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated into another
 
language.  (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in
 
the term "modification".)  Each licensee is addressed as "you".
 
 
 
Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not
 
covered by this License; they are outside its scope.  The act of
 
running the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program
 
is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the
 
Program (independent of having been made by running the Program).
 
Whether that is true depends on what the Program does.
 
 
 
  1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's
 
source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you
 
conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate
 
copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the
 
notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty;
 
and give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License
 
along with the Program.
 
 
 
You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and
 
you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee.
 
 
 
  2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion
 
of it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and
 
distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1
 
above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
 
 
 
    a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices
 
    stating that you changed the files and the date of any change.
 
 
 
    b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in
 
    whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any
 
    part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third
 
    parties under the terms of this License.
 
 
 
    c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively
 
    when run, you must cause it, when started running for such
 
    interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an
 
    announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a
 
    notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide
 
    a warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under
 
    these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this
 
    License.  (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but
 
    does not normally print such an announcement, your work based on
 
    the Program is not required to print an announcement.)
 
 
 
These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole.  If
 
identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Program,
 
and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in
 
themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those
 
sections when you distribute them as separate works.  But when you
 
distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based
 
on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of
 
this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the
 
entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it.
 
 
 
Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest
 
your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to
 
exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or
 
collective works based on the Program.
 
 
 
In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program
 
with the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of
 
a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under
 
the scope of this License.
 
 
 
  3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it,
 
under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of
 
Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following:
 
 
 
    a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable
 
    source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections
 
    1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,
 
 
 
    b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three
 
    years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your
 
    cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete
 
    machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be
 
    distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium
 
    customarily used for software interchange; or,
 
 
 
    c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer
 
    to distribute corresponding source code.  (This alternative is
 
    allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you
 
    received the program in object code or executable form with such
 
    an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.)
 
 
 
The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for
 
making modifications to it.  For an executable work, complete source
 
code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any
 
associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to
 
control compilation and installation of the executable.  However, as a
 
special exception, the source code distributed need not include
 
anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary
 
form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the
 
operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component
 
itself accompanies the executable.
 
 
 
If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering
 
access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent
 
access to copy the source code from the same place counts as
 
distribution of the source code, even though third parties are not
 
compelled to copy the source along with the object code.
 
 
 
  4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program
 
except as expressly provided under this License.  Any attempt
 
otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is
 
void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License.
 
However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under
 
this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such
 
parties remain in full compliance.
 
 
 
  5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not
 
signed it.  However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or
 
distribute the Program or its derivative works.  These actions are
 
prohibited by law if you do not accept this License.  Therefore, by
 
modifying or distributing the Program (or any work based on the
 
Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and
 
all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying
 
the Program or works based on it.
 
 
 
  6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the
 
Program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the
 
original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to
 
these terms and conditions.  You may not impose any further
 
restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein.
 
You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to
 
this License.
 
 
 
  7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent
 
infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues),
 
conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
 
otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
 
excuse you from the conditions of this License.  If you cannot
 
distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this
 
License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you
 
may not distribute the Program at all.  For example, if a patent
 
license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by
 
all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then
 
the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to
 
refrain entirely from distribution of the Program.
 
 
 
If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under
 
any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to
 
apply and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other
 
circumstances.
 
 
 
It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any
 
patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any
 
such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the
 
integrity of the free software distribution system, which is
 
implemented by public license practices.  Many people have made
 
generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed
 
through that system in reliance on consistent application of that
 
system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing
 
to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot
 
impose that choice.
 
 
 
This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to
 
be a consequence of the rest of this License.
 
 
 
  8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in
 
certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the
 
original copyright holder who places the Program under this License
 
may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding
 
those countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among
 
countries not thus excluded.  In such case, this License incorporates
 
the limitation as if written in the body of this License.
 
 
 
  9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions
 
of the General Public License from time to time.  Such new versions will
 
be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to
 
address new problems or concerns.
 
 
 
Each version is given a distinguishing version number.  If the Program
 
specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and "any
 
later version", you have the option of following the terms and conditions
 
either of that version or of any later version published by the Free
 
Software Foundation.  If the Program does not specify a version number of
 
this License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software
 
Foundation.
 
 
 
  10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free
 
programs whose distribution conditions are different, write to the author
 
to ask for permission.  For software which is copyrighted by the Free
 
Software Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes
 
make exceptions for this.  Our decision will be guided by the two goals
 
of preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and
 
of promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally.
 
 
 
                            NO WARRANTY
 
 
 
  11. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY
 
FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.  EXCEPT WHEN
 
OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES
 
PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED
 
OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
 
MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.  THE ENTIRE RISK AS
 
TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU.  SHOULD THE
 
PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING,
 
REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
 
 
 
  12. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING
 
WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR
 
REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES,
 
INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING
 
OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED
 
TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY
 
YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER
 
PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE
 
POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
 
 
 
                     END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
 
 
 
            How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs
 
 
 
  If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest
 
possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it
 
free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms.
 
 
 
  To do so, attach the following notices to the program.  It is safest
 
to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively
 
convey the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least
 
the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.
 
 
 
    
 
    Copyright (C)   
 
 
 
    This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify
 
    it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by
 
    the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or
 
    (at your option) any later version.
 
 
 
    This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful,
 
    but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of
 
    MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.  See the
 
    GNU General Public License for more details.
 
 
 
    You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License
 
    along with this program; if not, write to the Free Software
 
    Foundation, Inc., 59 Temple Place, Suite 330, Boston, MA  02111-1307  USA
 
 
 
 
 
Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.
 
 
 
If the program is interactive, make it output a short notice like this
 
when it starts in an interactive mode:
 
 
 
    Gnomovision version 69, Copyright (C) year name of author
 
    Gnomovision comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type `show w'.
 
    This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it
 
    under certain conditions; type `show c' for details.
 
 
 
The hypothetical commands `show w' and `show c' should show the appropriate
 
parts of the General Public License.  Of course, the commands you use may
 
be called something other than `show w' and `show c'; they could even be
 
mouse-clicks or menu items--whatever suits your program.
 
 
 
You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or your
 
school, if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if
 
necessary.  Here is a sample; alter the names:
 
 
 
  Yoyodyne, Inc., hereby disclaims all copyright interest in the program
 
  `Gnomovision' (which makes passes at compilers) written by James Hacker.
 
 
 
  , 1 April 1989
 
  Ty Coon, President of Vice
 
 
 
This General Public License does not permit incorporating your program into
 
proprietary programs.  If your program is a subroutine library, you may
 
consider it more useful to permit linking proprietary applications with the
 
library.  If this is what you want to do, use the GNU Library General
 
Public License instead of this License.
 
 
 
ANNEX B : THE GNU LESSER GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 
 
 
                  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.
 
 
 
                  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.
 
 
 
                     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.
 
 
 
    
 
    Copyright (C)   
 
 
 
    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., 59 Temple Place, Suite 330, Boston, MA  02111-1307  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.
 
 
 
  , 1 April 1990
 
  Ty Coon, President of Vice
 
 
 
That's all there is to it!
