> GNU LESSER GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
> Version 2.1, February 1999
>
> Copyright (C) 1991, 1999 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
> 51 Franklin Street, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA 02110-1301 USA
> Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
> of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
>
> [This is the first released version of the Lesser GPL. It also counts
> as the successor of the GNU Library Public License, version 2, hence
> the version number 2.1.]
>
> Preamble
>
> The licenses for most software are designed to take away your
> freedom to share and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public
> Licenses are intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change
> free software--to make sure the software is free for all its users.
>
> This license, the Lesser General Public License, applies to some
> specially designated software packages--typically libraries--of the
> Free Software Foundation and other authors who decide to use it. You
> can use it too, but we suggest you first think carefully about whether
> this license or the ordinary General Public License is the better
> strategy to use in any particular case, based on the explanations below.
>
> When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom of use,
> not price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that
> you have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge
> for this service if you wish); that you receive source code or can get
> it if you want it; that you can change the software and use pieces of
> it in new free programs; and that you are informed that you can do
> these things.
>
> To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid
> distributors to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender these
> rights. These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for
> you if you distribute copies of the library or if you modify it.
>
> For example, if you distribute copies of the library, whether gratis
> or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that we gave
> you. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the source
> code. If you link other code with the library, you must provide
> complete object files to the recipients, so that they can relink them
> with the library after making changes to the library and recompiling
> it. And you must show them these terms so they know their rights.
>
> We protect your rights with a two-step method: (1) we copyright the
> library, and (2) we offer you this license, which gives you legal
> permission to copy, distribute and/or modify the library.
>
> To protect each distributor, we want to make it very clear that
> there is no warranty for the free library. Also, if the library is
> modified by someone else and passed on, the recipients should know
> that what they have is not the original version, so that the original
> author's reputation will not be affected by problems that might be
> introduced by others.
>
> Finally, software patents pose a constant threat to the existence of
> any free program. We wish to make sure that a company cannot
> effectively restrict the users of a free program by obtaining a
> restrictive license from a patent holder. Therefore, we insist that
> any patent license obtained for a version of the library must be
> consistent with the full freedom of use specified in this license.
>
> Most GNU software, including some libraries, is covered by the
> ordinary GNU General Public License. This license, the GNU Lesser
> General Public License, applies to certain designated libraries, and
> is quite different from the ordinary General Public License. We use
> this license for certain libraries in order to permit linking those
> libraries into non-free programs.
>
> When a program is linked with a library, whether statically or using
> a shared library, the combination of the two is legally speaking a
> combined work, a derivative of the original library. The ordinary
> General Public License therefore permits such linking only if the
> entire combination fits its criteria of freedom. The Lesser General
> Public License permits more lax criteria for linking other code with
> the library.
>
> We call this license the "Lesser" General Public License because it
> does Less to protect the user's freedom than the ordinary General
> Public License. It also provides other free software developers Less
> of an advantage over competing non-free programs. These disadvantages
> are the reason we use the ordinary General Public License for many
> libraries. However, the Lesser license provides advantages in certain
> special circumstances.
>
> For example, on rare occasions, there may be a special need to
> encourage the widest possible use of a certain library, so that it becomes
> a de-facto standard. To achieve this, non-free programs must be
> allowed to use the library. A more frequent case is that a free
> library does the same job as widely used non-free libraries. In this
> case, there is little to gain by limiting the free library to free
> software only, so we use the Lesser General Public License.
>
> In other cases, permission to use a particular library in non-free
> programs enables a greater number of people to use a large body of
> free software. For example, permission to use the GNU C Library in
> non-free programs enables many more people to use the whole GNU
> operating system, as well as its variant, the GNU/Linux operating
> system.
>
> Although the Lesser General Public License is Less protective of the
> users' freedom, it does ensure that the user of a program that is
> linked with the Library has the freedom and the wherewithal to run
> that program using a modified version of the Library.
>
> The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
> modification follow. Pay close attention to the difference between a
> "work based on the library" and a "work that uses the library". The
> former contains code derived from the library, whereas the latter must
> be combined with the library in order to run.
>
> GNU LESSER GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
> TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION
>
> 0. This License Agreement applies to any software library or other
> program which contains a notice placed by the copyright holder or
> other authorized party saying it may be distributed under the terms of
> this Lesser General Public License (also called "this License").
> Each licensee is addressed as "you".
>
> A "library" means a collection of software functions and/or data
> prepared so as to be conveniently linked with application programs
> (which use some of those functions and data) to form executables.
>
> The "Library", below, refers to any such software library or work
> which has been distributed under these terms. A "work based on the
> Library" means either the Library or any derivative work under
> copyright law: that is to say, a work containing the Library or a
> portion of it, either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated
> straightforwardly into another language. (Hereinafter, translation is
> included without limitation in the term "modification".)
>
> "Source code" for a work means the preferred form of the work for
> making modifications to it. For a library, complete source code means
> all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any associated
> interface definition files, plus the scripts used to control compilation
> and installation of the library.
>
> Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not
> covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of
> running a program using the Library is not restricted, and output from
> such a program is covered only if its contents constitute a work based
> on the Library (independent of the use of the Library in a tool for
> writing it). Whether that is true depends on what the Library does
> and what the program that uses the Library does.
>
> 1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Library's
> complete source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that
> you conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an
> appropriate copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact
> all the notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any
> warranty; and distribute a copy of this License along with the
> Library.
>
> You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy,
> and you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a
> fee.
>
> 2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Library or any portion
> of it, thus forming a work based on the Library, and copy and
> distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1
> above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
>
> a) The modified work must itself be a software library.
>
> b) You must cause the files modified to carry prominent notices
> stating that you changed the files and the date of any change.
>
> c) You must cause the whole of the work to be licensed at no
> charge to all third parties under the terms of this License.
>
> d) If a facility in the modified Library refers to a function or a
> table of data to be supplied by an application program that uses
> the facility, other than as an argument passed when the facility
> is invoked, then you must make a good faith effort to ensure that,
> in the event an application does not supply such function or
> table, the facility still operates, and performs whatever part of
> its purpose remains meaningful.
>
> (For example, a function in a library to compute square roots has
> a purpose that is entirely well-defined independent of the
> application. Therefore, Subsection 2d requires that any
> application-supplied function or table used by this function must
> be optional: if the application does not supply it, the square
> root function must still compute square roots.)
>
> These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If
> identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Library,
> and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in
> themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those
> sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you
> distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based
> on the Library, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of
> this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the
> entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote
> it.
>
> Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest
> your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to
> exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or
> collective works based on the Library.
>
> In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Library
> with the Library (or with a work based on the Library) on a volume of
> a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under
> the scope of this License.
>
> 3. You may opt to apply the terms of the ordinary GNU General Public
> License instead of this License to a given copy of the Library. To do
> this, you must alter all the notices that refer to this License, so
> that they refer to the ordinary GNU General Public License, version 2,
> instead of to this License. (If a newer version than version 2 of the
> ordinary GNU General Public License has appeared, then you can specify
> that version instead if you wish.) Do not make any other change in
> these notices.
>
> Once this change is made in a given copy, it is irreversible for
> that copy, so the ordinary GNU General Public License applies to all
> subsequent copies and derivative works made from that copy.
>
> This option is useful when you wish to copy part of the code of
> the Library into a program that is not a library.
>
> 4. You may copy and distribute the Library (or a portion or
> derivative of it, under Section 2) in object code or executable form
> under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you accompany
> it with the complete corresponding machine-readable source code, which
> must be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a
> medium customarily used for software interchange.
>
> If distribution of object code is made by offering access to copy
> from a designated place, then offering equivalent access to copy the
> source code from the same place satisfies the requirement to
> distribute the source code, even though third parties are not
> compelled to copy the source along with the object code.
>
> 5. A program that contains no derivative of any portion of the
> Library, but is designed to work with the Library by being compiled or
> linked with it, is called a "work that uses the Library". Such a
> work, in isolation, is not a derivative work of the Library, and
> therefore falls outside the scope of this License.
>
> However, linking a "work that uses the Library" with the Library
> creates an executable that is a derivative of the Library (because it
> contains portions of the Library), rather than a "work that uses the
> library". The executable is therefore covered by this License.
> Section 6 states terms for distribution of such executables.
>
> When a "work that uses the Library" uses material from a header file
> that is part of the Library, the object code for the work may be a
> derivative work of the Library even though the source code is not.
> Whether this is true is especially significant if the work can be
> linked without the Library, or if the work is itself a library. The
> threshold for this to be true is not precisely defined by law.
>
> If such an object file uses only numerical parameters, data
> structure layouts and accessors, and small macros and small inline
> functions (ten lines or less in length), then the use of the object
> file is unrestricted, regardless of whether it is legally a derivative
> work. (Executables containing this object code plus portions of the
> Library will still fall under Section 6.)
>
> Otherwise, if the work is a derivative of the Library, you may
> distribute the object code for the work under the terms of Section 6.
> Any executables containing that work also fall under Section 6,
> whether or not they are linked directly with the Library itself.
>
> 6. As an exception to the Sections above, you may also combine or
> link a "work that uses the Library" with the Library to produce a
> work containing portions of the Library, and distribute that work
> under terms of your choice, provided that the terms permit
> modification of the work for the customer's own use and reverse
> engineering for debugging such modifications.
>
> You must give prominent notice with each copy of the work that the
> Library is used in it and that the Library and its use are covered by
> this License. You must supply a copy of this License. If the work
> during execution displays copyright notices, you must include the
> copyright notice for the Library among them, as well as a reference
> directing the user to the copy of this License. Also, you must do one
> of these things:
>
> a) Accompany the work with the complete corresponding
> machine-readable source code for the Library including whatever
> changes were used in the work (which must be distributed under
> Sections 1 and 2 above); and, if the work is an executable linked
> with the Library, with the complete machine-readable "work that
> uses the Library", as object code and/or source code, so that the
> user can modify the Library and then relink to produce a modified
> executable containing the modified Library. (It is understood
> that the user who changes the contents of definitions files in the
> Library will not necessarily be able to recompile the application
> to use the modified definitions.)
>
> b) Use a suitable shared library mechanism for linking with the

> d) If distribution of the work is made by offering access to copy

> 7. You may place library facilities that are a work based on the
> Library side-by-side in a single library together with other library
> facilities not covered by this License, and distribute such a combined
> library, provided that the separate distribution of the work based on
> the Library and of the other library facilities is otherwise
> permitted, and provided that you do these two things:
>
> a) Accompany the combined library with a copy of the same work
> based on the Library, uncombined with any other library
> facilities. This must be distributed under the terms of the
> Sections above.
>
> b) Give prominent notice with the combined library of the fact
> that part of it is a work based on the Library, and explaining

> 8. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, link with, or distribute
> 0the 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

> 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

> 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.

> 12. If the distribution and/or use of the Library is restricted in

> Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Library

>
> 14. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Library into other free
