-Version 2, June 1991 <BR>
-Copyright (C) 1991 Free Software Foundation, Inc. <BR>
-59 Temple Place - Suite 330, Boston, MA 02111-1307, USA <BR>
-Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of
-this license document, but changing it is not allowed. <BR>
-[This is the first released version of the library GPL. It is
-numbered 2 because it goes with version 2 of the ordinary GPL.]
-
-\par 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 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
-&quot;work based on the libary&quot; and a &quot;work that uses the library&quot;. 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.
-
-\par TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION
-
-\b 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 &quot;this License&quot;).
-Each licensee is addressed as &quot;you&quot;.
-
-A &quot;library&quot; 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 &quot;Library&quot;, below, refers to any such software library or work
-which has been distributed under these terms. A &quot;work based on the
-Library&quot; 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 &quot;modification&quot;.)
-
-&quot;Source code&quot; 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.
-
-\b 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.
-
-\b 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:
-
-\b a) The modified work must itself be a software library.
-
-\b b) You must cause the files modified to carry
-prominent notices stating that you changed the files and the date of
-any change.
-
-\b 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.
-
-\b 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.
-
-\b 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.
-
-\b 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.
-
-\b 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 &quot;work that uses the
-Library&quot;. 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 &quot;work that uses the Library&quot; with the Library
-creates an executable that is a derivative of the Library (because it
-contains portions of the Library), rather than a &quot;work that uses the
-library&quot;. The executable is therefore covered by this License. Section
-6 states terms for distribution of such executables.
-
-When a &quot;work that uses the Library&quot; 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.
-
-\b 6. As an exception to the Sections above, you may also compile or
-link a &quot;work that uses the Library&quot; 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:
-
-\b 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
-&quot;work that uses the Library&quot;, 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 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.
-
-\b 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.
-
-\b d) 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 &quot;work that
-uses the Library&quot; 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.
-
-\b 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:
-
-\b 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 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.
-
-
-\b 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.
-
-\b 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.
-
-\b 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.
-
-\b 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.
-
-\b 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.
-
-\b 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 &quot;any later version&quot;, 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.
-
-\b 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.
-
-\par NO WARRANTY
-
-\b 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 &quot;AS IS&quot; 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.
-
-\b 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.
