>> +
>> +    c) You must cause the whole of the work to be licensed at no

>> +
>> +  3. You may opt to apply the terms of the ordinary GNU General Public

>> +

>> +
>> +  5. A program that contains no derivative of any portion of the

>> +
>> +  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

>> +threshold for this to be true is not precisely defined by law.
>> +
>> +  If such an object file uses only numerical parameters, data
>> +structure layouts and accessors, and small macros and small inline
>> +functions (ten lines or less in length), then the use of the object
>> +file is unrestricted, regardless of whether it is legally a derivative
>> +work.  (Executables containing this object code plus portions of the
>> +Library will still fall under Section 6.)
>> +
>> +  Otherwise, if the work is a derivative of the Library, you may
>> +distribute the object code for the work under the terms of Section 6.
>> +Any executables containing that work also fall under Section 6,
>> +whether or not they are linked directly with the Library itself.
>> +
>> +  6. As an exception to the Sections above, you may also combine or
>> +link a "work that uses the Library" with the Library to produce a
>> +work containing portions of the Library, and distribute that work
>> +under terms of your choice, provided that the terms permit
>> +modification of the work for the customer's own use and reverse
>> +engineering for debugging such modifications.
>> +
>> +  You must give prominent notice with each copy of the work that the
>> +Library is used in it and that the Library and its use are covered by
>> +this License.  You must supply a copy of this License.  If the work
>> +during execution displays copyright notices, you must include the
>> +copyright notice for the Library among them, as well as a reference
>> +directing the user to the copy of this License.  Also, you must do one
>> +of these things:
>> +
>> +    a) Accompany the work with the complete corresponding
>> +    machine-readable source code for the Library including whatever
>> +    changes were used in the work (which must be distributed under
>> +    Sections 1 and 2 above); and, if the work is an executable linked
>> +    with the Library, with the complete machine-readable "work that
>> +    uses the Library", as object code and/or source code, so that the
>> +    user can modify the Library and then relink to produce a modified
>> +    executable containing the modified Library.  (It is understood
>> +    that the user who changes the contents of definitions files in the
>> +    Library will not necessarily be able to recompile the application
>> +    to use the modified definitions.)
>> +
>> +    b) Use a suitable shared library mechanism for linking with the
>> +    Library.  A suitable mechanism is one that (1) uses at run time a
>> +    copy of the library already present on the user's computer system,
>> +    rather than copying library functions into the executable, and (2)
>> +    will operate properly with a modified version of the library, if
>> +    the user installs one, as long as the modified version is
>> +    interface-compatible with the version that the work was made with.
>> +
>> +    c) Accompany the work with a written offer, valid for at
>> +    least three years, to give the same user the materials
>> +    specified in Subsection 6a, above, for a charge no more
>> +    than the cost of performing this distribution.
>> +
>> +    d) If distribution of the work is made by offering access to copy
>> +    from a designated place, offer equivalent access to copy the above
>> +    specified materials from the same place.
>> +
>> +    e) Verify that the user has already received a copy of these
>> +    materials or that you have already sent this user a copy.
>> +
>> +  For an executable, the required form of the "work that uses the
>> +Library" must include any data and utility programs needed for
>> +reproducing the executable from it.  However, as a special exception,
>> +the materials to be distributed need not include anything that is
>> +normally distributed (in either source or binary form) with the major
>> +components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the operating system on
>> +which the executable runs, unless that component itself accompanies
>> +the executable.
>> +
>> +  It may happen that this requirement contradicts the license
>> +restrictions of other proprietary libraries that do not normally
>> +accompany the operating system.  Such a contradiction means you cannot
>> +use both them and the Library together in an executable that you
>> +distribute.
>> +
>> +  7. You may place library facilities that are a work based on the
>> +Library side-by-side in a single library together with other library
>> +facilities not covered by this License, and distribute such a combined
>> +library, provided that the separate distribution of the work based on
>> +the Library and of the other library facilities is otherwise

>> +
>> +    a) Accompany the combined library with a copy of the same work

>> +    facilities.  This must be distributed under the terms of the
>> +    Sections above.
>> +
>> +    b) Give prominent notice with the combined library of the fact
>> +    that part of it is a work based on the Library, and explaining
>> +    where to find the accompanying uncombined form of the same work.
>> +
>> +  8. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, link with, or distribute
>> +the Library except as expressly provided under this License.  Any
>> +attempt otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense, link with, or
>> +distribute the Library is void, and will automatically terminate your
>> +rights under this License.  However, parties who have received copies,
>> +or rights, from you under this License will not have their licenses
>> +terminated so long as such parties remain in full compliance.
>> +
>> +  9. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not
>> +signed it.  However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or
>> +distribute the Library or its derivative works.  These actions are
>> +prohibited by law if you do not accept this License.  Therefore, by
>> +modifying or distributing the Library (or any work based on the
>> +Library), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and
>> +all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying
>> +the Library or works based on it.
>> +
>> +  10. Each time you redistribute the Library (or any work based on the
>> +Library), the recipient automatically receives a license from the
>> +original licensor to copy, distribute, link with or modify the Library
>> +subject to these terms and conditions.  You may not impose any further
>> +restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein.
>> +You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties with
>> +this License.
>> +
>> +  11. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent
>> +infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues),
>> +conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
>> +otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
>> +excuse you from the conditions of this License.  If you cannot
>> +distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this
>> +License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you
>> +may not distribute the Library at all.  For example, if a patent
>> +license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Library by
>> +all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then
>> +the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to
>> +refrain entirely from distribution of the Library.
>> +
>> +If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under any
>> +particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to apply,
>> +and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other circumstances.
>> +
>> +It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any
>> +patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any
>> +such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the
>> +integrity of the free software distribution system which is
>> +implemented by public license practices.  Many people have made
>> +generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed
>> +through that system in reliance on consistent application of that
>> +system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing
>> +to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot
>> +impose that choice.
>> +
>> +This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to
>> +be a consequence of the rest of this License.
>> +
>> +  12. If the distribution and/or use of the Library is restricted in
>> +certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the
>> +original copyright holder who places the Library under this License may add
>> +an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding those countries,
>> +so that distribution is permitted only in or among countries not thus
>> +excluded.  In such case, this License incorporates the limitation as if
>> +written in the body of this License.
>> +
>> +  13. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new
>> +versions of the Lesser General Public License from time to time.
>> +Such new versions will be similar in spirit to the present version,
>> +but may differ in detail to address new problems or concerns.
>> +
>> +Each version is given a distinguishing version number.  If the Library
>> +specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and
>> +"any later version", you have the option of following the terms and
>> +conditions either of that version or of any later version published by
>> +the Free Software Foundation.  If the Library does not specify a
>> +license version number, you may choose any version ever published by
>> +the Free Software Foundation.
>> +
>> +  14. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Library into other free
>> +programs whose distribution conditions are incompatible with these,
>> +write to the author to ask for permission.  For software which is
>> +copyrighted by the Free Software Foundation, write to the Free
>> +Software Foundation; we sometimes make exceptions for this.  Our
>> +decision will be guided by the two goals of preserving the free status
>> +of all derivatives of our free software and of promoting the sharing
>> +and reuse of software generally.
>> +
>> +                            NO WARRANTY
>> +
>> +  15. BECAUSE THE LIBRARY IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO

>> +           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

>> +redistribution under these terms (or, alternatively, under the terms of the
>> +ordinary General Public License).
>> +
>> +  To apply these terms, attach the following notices to the library.  It is
>> +safest to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively
>> +convey the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least the
>> +"copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.
