Common Public License - v 1.0
THE ACCOMPANYING PROGRAM
IS PROVIDED UNDER THE TERMS OF THIS COMMON PUBLIC LICENSE ("AGREEMENT").
ANY USE, REPRODUCTION OR DISTRIBUTION OF THE PROGRAM CONSTITUTES RECIPIENT'S
ACCEPTANCE OF THIS AGREEMENT.
1. DEFINITIONS
"Contribution"
means:
a) in the case of the initial Contributor, the initial code and documentation
distributed under this Agreement, and
b) in the case of each subsequent Contributor:
i) changes to the Program, and
ii) additions to the Program;
where such changes and/or additions to the Program originate from and
are distributed by that particular Contributor. A Contribution 'originates'
from a Contributor if it was added to the Program by such Contributor
itself or anyone acting on such Contributor's behalf. Contributions
do not include additions to the Program which: (i) are separate modules
of software distributed in conjunction with the Program under their
own license agreement, and (ii) are not derivative works of the Program.
"Contributor" means any person or entity that distributes
the Program.
"Licensed Patents
" mean patent claims licensable by a Contributor which are necessarily
infringed by the use or sale of its Contribution alone or when combined
with the Program.
"Program" means
the Contributions distributed in accordance with this Agreement.
"Recipient" means
anyone who receives the Program under this Agreement, including all Contributors.
2. GRANT OF RIGHTS
a) Subject to the terms
of this Agreement, each Contributor hereby grants Recipient a non-exclusive,
worldwide, royalty-free copyright license to reproduce, prepare derivative
works of, publicly display, publicly perform, distribute and sublicense
the Contribution of such Contributor, if any, and such derivative works,
in source code and object code form.
b) Subject to the terms of this Agreement, each Contributor hereby grants
Recipient a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free patent license under
Licensed Patents to make, use, sell, offer to sell, import and otherwise
transfer the Contribution of such Contributor, if any, in source code
and object code form. This patent license shall apply to the combination
of the Contribution and the Program if, at the time the Contribution
is added by the Contributor, such addition of the Contribution causes
such combination to be covered by the Licensed Patents. The patent license
shall not apply to any other combinations which include the Contribution.
No hardware per se is licensed hereunder.
c) Recipient understands that although each Contributor grants the licenses
to its Contributions set forth herein, no assurances are provided by
any Contributor that the Program does not infringe the patent or other
intellectual property rights of any other entity. Each Contributor disclaims
any liability to Recipient for claims brought by any other entity based
on infringement of intellectual property rights or otherwise. As a condition
to exercising the rights and licenses granted hereunder, each Recipient
hereby assumes sole responsibility to secure any other intellectual
property rights needed, if any. For example, if a third party patent
license is required to allow Recipient to distribute the Program, it
is Recipient's responsibility to acquire that license before distributing
the Program.
d) Each Contributor represents that to its knowledge it has sufficient
copyright rights in its Contribution, if any, to grant the copyright
license set forth in this Agreement.
3. REQUIREMENTS
A Contributor may choose
to distribute the Program in object code form under its own license agreement,
provided that:
a) it complies with the
terms and conditions of this Agreement; and
b) its license agreement:
i) effectively disclaims on behalf of all Contributors all warranties
and conditions, express and implied, including warranties or conditions
of title and non-infringement, and implied warranties or conditions
of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose;
ii) effectively excludes on behalf of all Contributors all liability
for damages, including direct, indirect, special, incidental and consequential
damages, such as lost profits;
iii) states that any provisions which differ from this Agreement are
offered by that Contributor alone and not by any other party; and
iv) states that source code for the Program is available from such Contributor,
and informs licensees how to obtain it in a reasonable manner on or
through a medium customarily used for software exchange.
When the Program is made available in source code form:
a) it must be made available under this Agreement; and
b) a copy of this Agreement must be included with each copy of the Program.
Contributors may not remove
or alter any copyright notices contained within the Program.
Each Contributor must identify
itself as the originator of its Contribution, if any, in a manner that
reasonably allows subsequent Recipients to identify the originator of
the Contribution.
4. COMMERCIAL DISTRIBUTION
Commercial distributors
of software may accept certain responsibilities with respect to end users,
business partners and the like. While this license is intended to facilitate
the commercial use of the Program, the Contributor who includes the Program
in a commercial product offering should do so in a manner which does not
create potential liability for other Contributors. Therefore, if a Contributor
includes the Program in a commercial product offering, such Contributor
("Commercial Contributor") hereby agrees to defend and indemnify
every other Contributor ("Indemnified Contributor") against
any losses, damages and costs (collectively "Losses") arising
from claims, lawsuits and other legal actions brought by a third party
against the Indemnified Contributor to the extent caused by the acts or
omissions of such Commercial Contributor in connection with its distribution
of the Program in a commercial product offering. The obligations in this
section do not apply to any claims or Losses relating to any actual or
alleged intellectual property infringement. In order to qualify, an Indemnified
Contributor must: a) promptly notify the Commercial Contributor in writing
of such claim, and b) allow the Commercial Contributor to control, and
cooperate with the Commercial Contributor in, the defense and any related
settlement negotiations. The Indemnified Contributor may participate in
any such claim at its own expense.
For example, a Contributor
might include the Program in a commercial product offering, Product X.
That Contributor is then a Commercial Contributor. If that Commercial
Contributor then makes performance claims, or offers warranties related
to Product X, those performance claims and warranties are such Commercial
Contributor's responsibility alone. Under this section, the Commercial
Contributor would have to defend claims against the other Contributors
related to those performance claims and warranties, and if a court requires
any other Contributor to pay any damages as a result, the Commercial Contributor
must pay those damages.
5. NO WARRANTY
EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET
FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT, THE PROGRAM IS PROVIDED ON AN "AS IS"
BASIS, WITHOUT WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR
IMPLIED INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF
TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
Each Recipient is solely responsible for determining the appropriateness
of using and distributing the Program and assumes all risks associated
with its exercise of rights under this Agreement, including but not limited
to the risks and costs of program errors, compliance with applicable laws,
damage to or loss of data, programs or equipment, and unavailability or
interruption of operations.
6. DISCLAIMER OF LIABILITY
EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET
FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT, NEITHER RECIPIENT NOR ANY CONTRIBUTORS SHALL
HAVE ANY LIABILITY FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY,
OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES (INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION LOST PROFITS),
HOWEVER CAUSED AND ON ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, STRICT
LIABILITY, OR TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE OR OTHERWISE) ARISING IN ANY
WAY OUT OF THE USE OR DISTRIBUTION OF THE PROGRAM OR THE EXERCISE OF ANY
RIGHTS GRANTED HEREUNDER, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
7. GENERAL
If any provision of this
Agreement is invalid or unenforceable under applicable law, it shall not
affect the validity or enforceability of the remainder of the terms of
this Agreement, and without further action by the parties hereto, such
provision shall be reformed to the minimum extent necessary to make such
provision valid and enforceable.
If Recipient institutes
patent litigation against a Contributor with respect to a patent applicable
to software (including a cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit), then
any patent licenses granted by that Contributor to such Recipient under
this Agreement shall terminate as of the date such litigation is filed.
In addition, if Recipient institutes patent litigation against any entity
(including a cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that the
Program itself (excluding combinations of the Program with other software
or hardware) infringes such Recipient's patent(s), then such Recipient's
rights granted under Section 2(b) shall terminate as of the date such
litigation is filed.
All Recipient's rights
under this Agreement shall terminate if it fails to comply with any of
the material terms or conditions of this Agreement and does not cure such
failure in a reasonable period of time after becoming aware of such noncompliance.
If all Recipient's rights under this Agreement terminate, Recipient agrees
to cease use and distribution of the Program as soon as reasonably practicable.
However, Recipient's obligations under this Agreement and any licenses
granted by Recipient relating to the Program shall continue and survive.
Everyone is permitted to
copy and distribute copies of this Agreement, but in order to avoid inconsistency
the Agreement is copyrighted and may only be modified in the following
manner. The Agreement Steward reserves the right to publish new versions
(including revisions) of this Agreement from time to time. No one other
than the Agreement Steward has the right to modify this Agreement. IBM
is the initial Agreement Steward. IBM may assign the responsibility to
serve as the Agreement Steward to a suitable separate entity. Each new
version of the Agreement will be given a distinguishing version number.
The Program (including Contributions) may always be distributed subject
to the version of the Agreement under which it was received. In addition,
after a new version of the Agreement is published, Contributor may elect
to distribute the Program (including its Contributions) under the new
version. Except as expressly stated in Sections 2(a) and 2(b) above, Recipient
receives no rights or licenses to the intellectual property of any Contributor
under this Agreement, whether expressly, by implication, estoppel or otherwise.
All rights in the Program not expressly granted under this Agreement are
reserved.
This Agreement is governed
by the laws of the State of New York and the intellectual property laws
of the United States of America. No party to this Agreement will bring
a legal action under this Agreement more than one year after the cause
of action arose. Each party waives its rights to a jury trial in any resulting
litigation.

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.

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.

A "library" means a

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

a work containing the Library or a portion of it, either verbatim or

Activities other than copying,

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

You should also get your

a "copyright disclaimer" for the library, if necessary. Here
is a sample; alter the names:
