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. + + +\gplsec{Terms and conditions for copying, distribution and modification} + +\begin{enumerate} + +\makeatletter \setcounter{\@listctr}{-1} \makeatother + +\item [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. + +\item [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. + +\item [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: + + \begin{enumerate} + + \item [(a)] You must cause the modified files to carry prominent + notices stating that you changed the files and the date of any + change. + + \item [(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. + + \item [(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.) + + \end{enumerate} + + 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. + +\item [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: + + \begin{enumerate} + + \item [(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, + + \item [(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, + + \item [(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.) + + \end{enumerate} + + 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. + +\item [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. + +\item [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. + +\item [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. + +\item [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. + +\item [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. + +\item [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. + +\item [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. + +\begin{center} +NO WARRANTY +\end{center} + +\bfseries + +\item [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. + +\item [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{enumerate} + +\begin{center} +\textbf{END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS} +\end{center} + + +\gplsec{Appendix: 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. + +\begin{verbatim} + +Copyright (C) 19yy + +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.

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: + +\begin{verbatim} +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 +\end{verbatim} + +This General Public License does not permit incorporating your program into +proprietary programs.

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 Library General Public License, applies to some specially +designated Free Software Foundation software, and to any other libraries +whose authors decide to use it. You can use it for your libraries, 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 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 a +program 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. + +Our method of protecting your rights has two steps: (1) copyright the +library, and (2) offer you this license which gives you legal permission to +copy, distribute and/or modify the library. + +Also, for each distributor's protection, we want to make certain that +everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free library. If the +library is modified by someone else and passed on, we want its recipients to +know that what they have is not the original version, 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 companies distributing free software will +individually obtain patent licenses, thus in effect transforming the program +into proprietary software. To prevent this, we have made it clear that any +patent must be licensed for everyone's free use or not licensed at all. + +Most GNU software, including some libraries, is covered by the ordinary GNU +General Public License, which was designed for utility programs. This +license, the GNU Library General Public License, applies to certain +designated libraries. This license is quite different from the ordinary one; +be sure to read it in full, and don't assume that anything in it is the same +as in the ordinary license. + +The reason we have a separate public license for some libraries is that they +blur the distinction we usually make between modifying or adding to a program +and simply using it. Linking a program with a library, without changing the +library, is in some sense simply using the library, and is analogous to +running a utility program or application program. However, in a textual and +legal sense, the linked executable is a combined work, a derivative of the +original library, and the ordinary General Public License treats it as such. + +Because of this blurred distinction, using the ordinary General Public +License for libraries did not effectively promote software sharing, because +most developers did not use the libraries. We concluded that weaker +conditions might promote sharing better. + +However, unrestricted linking of non-free programs would deprive the users of +those programs of all benefit from the free status of the libraries +themselves. This Library General Public License is intended to permit +developers of non-free programs to use free libraries, while preserving your +freedom as a user of such programs to change the free libraries that are +incorporated in them. (We have not seen how to achieve this as regards +changes in header files, but we have achieved it as regards changes in the +actual functions of the Library.) The hope is that this will lead to faster +development of free libraries. + +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, while the latter only works together with the +library. + +Note that it is possible for a library to be covered by the ordinary General +Public License rather than by this special one. + + +\gplsec{Terms and conditions for copying, distribution and modification} + +\begin{enumerate} + +\makeatletter \setcounter{\@listctr}{-1} \makeatother + +\item [0.] This License Agreement applies to any software library which + contains a notice placed by the copyright holder or other authorized + party saying it may be distributed under the terms of this Library + 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. + +\item [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. + +\item [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: + + \begin{enumerate} + + \item [(a)] The modified work must itself be a software library. + + \item [(b)] You must cause the files modified to carry prominent + notices stating that you changed the files and the date of any + change. + + \item [(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. + + \item [(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.) + + \end{enumerate} + + 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. + +\item [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. + +\item [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. + +\item [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. + +\item [6.] As an exception to the Sections above, you may also compile 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: + + \begin{enumerate} + + \item [(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.) + + \item [(b)] 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. + + \item [(c)] 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. + + \item [(d)] Verify that the user has already received a copy of these + materials or that you have already sent this user a copy. + + \end{enumerate} + + 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 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. + + 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. + +\item [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: + + \begin{enumerate} + + \item [(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. + + \item [(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. + + \end{enumerate} + +\item [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. + +\item [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. + +\item [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 to + this License. + +\item [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. + +\item [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. + +\item [13.] The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new + versions of the Library 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. + +\item [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. + +\begin{center} +NO WARRANTY +\end{center} + +\bfseries + +\item [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. + +\item [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{enumerate} + +\begin{center} +\textbf{END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS} +\end{center} + + +\gplsec{Appendix: 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.

However, in +a textual and legal sense, the linked executable is a combined work, a +derivative of the original library, and the ordinary General Public License +treats it as such. + + Because of this blurred distinction, using the ordinary General +Public License for libraries did not effectively promote software +sharing, because most developers did not use the libraries. We +concluded that weaker conditions might promote sharing better. + + However, unrestricted linking of non-free programs would deprive the +users of those programs of all benefit from the free status of the +libraries themselves. This Library General Public License is intended to +permit developers of non-free programs to use free libraries, while +preserving your freedom as a user of such programs to change the free +libraries that are incorporated in them. (We have not seen how to achieve +this as regards changes in header files, but we have achieved it as regards +changes in the actual functions of the Library.) The hope is that this +will lead to faster development of free libraries. + + 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, while the latter only +works together with the library. + + Note that it is possible for a library to be covered by the ordinary +General Public License rather than by this special one. + +@iftex +@unnumberedsec TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION +@end iftex +@ifinfo +@center TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION +@end ifinfo + +@enumerate 0 +@item +This License Agreement applies to any software library which +contains a notice placed by the copyright holder or other authorized +party saying it may be distributed under the terms of this Library +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. + +@item +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. + +@item +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: + +@enumerate a +@item +The modified work must itself be a software library. + +@item +You must cause the files modified to carry prominent notices +stating that you changed the files and the date of any change. + +@item +You must cause the whole of the work to be licensed at no +charge to all third parties under the terms of this License. + +@item +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.) +@end enumerate + +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. + +@item +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. + +@item +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. + +@item +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. + +@item +As an exception to the Sections above, you may also compile 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: + +@enumerate a +@item +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.) + +@item +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. + +@item +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. + +@item +Verify that the user has already received a copy of these +materials or that you have already sent this user a copy. +@end enumerate + + 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 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. + + 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. + +@item +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: + +@enumerate a +@item +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. + +@item +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. +@end enumerate + +@item +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. + +@item +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. + +@item +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 to +this License. + +@item +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. + +@item +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. + +@item +The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new +versions of the Library 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. + +@item +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. + +@center @b{NO WARRANTY} + +@item +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.
