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