-<P>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. </P>
-<P>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. </P>
-<P>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. </P>
-<P>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. </P>
-<P>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. </P>
-<P>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. </P>
-<P>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. </P>
-<P>The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and modification
-follow. </P>
-<H2><A name=SEC3 href="#TOC3">TERMS AND
-CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION</A></H2>
-<P><STRONG>0.</STRONG> 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".
-<P>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.
-<P><STRONG>1.</STRONG> 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.
-<P>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.
-<P><STRONG>2.</STRONG> 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:
<P>
-<UL>
- <LI><STRONG>a)</STRONG> You must cause the modified files to carry prominent
- notices stating that you changed the files and the date of any change.
- <P></P>
- <LI><STRONG>b)</STRONG> 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.
- <P></P>
- <LI><STRONG>c)</STRONG> 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.) </LI></UL>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.
-<P>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.
-<P>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.
-<P><STRONG>3.</STRONG> 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:
+ 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.
+<P>
+ 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.
+<P>
+ 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.
+<P>
+ 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.
+<P>
+ 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.
+<P>
+ 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.
+<P>
+ 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.
+<P>
+ 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.
+<P>
+ 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.
+<P>
+ 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.
+<P>
+ 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.
+<P>
+ 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.
+<P>
+ 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.
+<P>
+ 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.
+<P>
+ 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.

+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".
+<P>
+ 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.
+<P>
+ 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".)
+<P>
+ "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.
+<P>
+ 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.
+<P>
+<STRONG>1.</STRONG>
+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.
+<P>
+ 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.
+<P>
+<STRONG>2.</STRONG>
+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:
+<P>
+<UL>
+ <LI><STRONG>a)</STRONG>
+ The modified work must itself be a software library.
+ <LI><STRONG>b)</STRONG>
+ You must cause the files modified to carry prominent notices
+ stating that you changed the files and the date of any change.
+
+ <LI><STRONG>c)</STRONG>
+ You must cause the whole of the work to be licensed at no
+ charge to all third parties under the terms of this License.
+
+ <LI><STRONG>d)</STRONG>
+ 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.
+ <P>
+ (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.)
+ <P>
+ 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.
+ <P>
+ 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.
+ <P>
+ 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.
+</UL>
+<P>
+<STRONG>3.</STRONG>
+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.
+<P>
+ 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.
+<P>
+ This option is useful when you wish to copy part of the code of
+the Library into a program that is not a library.
+<P>
+<STRONG>4.</STRONG>
+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.
+<P>
+ 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.
+<P>
+<STRONG>5.</STRONG>
+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.
+<P>
+ 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.
+<P>
+ 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.
+<P>
+ 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.)
+<P>
+ 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.
+<P>
+<STRONG>6.</STRONG>
+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.
+<P>
+ 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:
+<P>
+<UL>
+ <LI><STRONG>a)</STRONG> 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.)
+
+ <LI><STRONG>b)</STRONG> 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.
+
+ <LI><STRONG>c)</STRONG> 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.

- Subsection b above.) </LI></UL>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

-<P>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.
-<P><STRONG>4.</STRONG> 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

-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.
-<P><STRONG>5.</STRONG> 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

-this License to do so, and all its terms and conditions for copying,

-<P><STRONG>6.</STRONG> Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based

-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,

-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
