31   *  Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
32   *  of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
33   * 
34   * [This is the first released version of the Lesser GPL.  It also counts
35   *  as the successor of the GNU Library Public License, version 2, hence
36   *  the version number 2.1.]
37   * 
38   *                 Preamble
39   * 
40   *   The licenses for most software are designed to take away your
41   * freedom to share and change it.  By contrast, the GNU General Public
42   * Licenses are intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change
43   * free software--to make sure the software is free for all its users.
44   * 
45   *   This license, the Lesser General Public License, applies to some
46   * specially designated software packages--typically libraries--of the
47   * Free Software Foundation and other authors who decide to use it.  You
48   * can use it too, but we suggest you first think carefully about whether
49   * this license or the ordinary General Public License is the better
50   * strategy to use in any particular case, based on the explanations below.
51   * 
52   *   When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom of use,
53   * not price.  Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that
54   * you have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge
55   * for this service if you wish); that you receive source code or can get
56   * it if you want it; that you can change the software and use pieces of
57   * it in new free programs; and that you are informed that you can do
58   * these things.
59   * 
60   *   To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid
61   * distributors to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender these
62   * rights.  These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for
63   * you if you distribute copies of the library or if you modify it.
64   * 
65   *   For example, if you distribute copies of the library, whether gratis
66   * or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that we gave
67   * you.  You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the source
68   * code.  If you link other code with the library, you must provide
69   * complete object files to the recipients, so that they can relink them
70   * with the library after making changes to the library and recompiling
71   * it.  And you must show them these terms so they know their rights.
72   * 
73   *   We protect your rights with a two-step method: (1) we copyright the
74   * library, and (2) we offer you this license, which gives you legal
75   * permission to copy, distribute and/or modify the library.
76   * 
77   *   To protect each distributor, we want to make it very clear that
78   * there is no warranty for the free library.  Also, if the library is
79   * modified by someone else and passed on, the recipients should know
80   * that what they have is not the original version, so that the original
81   * author's reputation will not be affected by problems that might be
82   * introduced by others.
83   * 
84   *   Finally, software patents pose a constant threat to the existence of
85   * any free program.  We wish to make sure that a company cannot
86   * effectively restrict the users of a free program by obtaining a
87   * restrictive license from a patent holder.  Therefore, we insist that
88   * any patent license obtained for a version of the library must be
89   * consistent with the full freedom of use specified in this license.
90   * 
91   *   Most GNU software, including some libraries, is covered by the
92   * ordinary GNU General Public License.  This license, the GNU Lesser
93   * General Public License, applies to certain designated libraries, and
94   * is quite different from the ordinary General Public License.  We use
95   * this license for certain libraries in order to permit linking those
96   * libraries into non-free programs.
97   * 
98   *   When a program is linked with a library, whether statically or using
99   * a shared library, the combination of the two is legally speaking a
100  * combined work, a derivative of the original library.  The ordinary
101  * General Public License therefore permits such linking only if the
102  * entire combination fits its criteria of freedom.  The Lesser General
103  * Public License permits more lax criteria for linking other code with
104  * the library.
105  * 
106  *   We call this license the &quot;Lesser&quot; General Public License because it
107  * does Less to protect the user's freedom than the ordinary General
108  * Public License.  It also provides other free software developers Less
109  * of an advantage over competing non-free programs.  These disadvantages
110  * are the reason we use the ordinary General Public License for many
111  * libraries.  However, the Lesser license provides advantages in certain
112  * special circumstances.
113  * 
114  *   For example, on rare occasions, there may be a special need to
115  * encourage the widest possible use of a certain library, so that it becomes
116  * a de-facto standard.  To achieve this, non-free programs must be
117  * allowed to use the library.  A more frequent case is that a free
118  * library does the same job as widely used non-free libraries.  In this
119  * case, there is little to gain by limiting the free library to free
120  * software only, so we use the Lesser General Public License.
121  * 
122  *   In other cases, permission to use a particular library in non-free
123  * programs enables a greater number of people to use a large body of
124  * free software.  For example, permission to use the GNU C Library in
125  * non-free programs enables many more people to use the whole GNU
126  * operating system, as well as its variant, the GNU/Linux operating
127  * system.
128  * 
129  *   Although the Lesser General Public License is Less protective of the
130  * users' freedom, it does ensure that the user of a program that is
131  * linked with the Library has the freedom and the wherewithal to run
132  * that program using a modified version of the Library.
133  * 
134  *   The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
135  * modification follow.  Pay close attention to the difference between a
136  * &quot;work based on the library&quot; and a &quot;work that uses the library&quot;.  The
137  * former contains code derived from the library, whereas the latter must
138  * be combined with the library in order to run.
139  * 
140  *           GNU LESSER GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
141  *    TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION
142  * 
143  *   0. This License Agreement applies to any software library or other
144  * program which contains a notice placed by the copyright holder or
145  * other authorized party saying it may be distributed under the terms of
146  * this Lesser General Public License (also called &quot;this License&quot;).
147  * Each licensee is addressed as &quot;you&quot;.
148  * 
149  *   A &quot;library&quot; means a collection of software functions and/or data
150  * prepared so as to be conveniently linked with application programs
151  * (which use some of those functions and data) to form executables.
152  * 
153  *   The &quot;Library&quot;, below, refers to any such software library or work
154  * which has been distributed under these terms.  A &quot;work based on the
155  * Library&quot; means either the Library or any derivative work under
156  * copyright law: that is to say, a work containing the Library or a
157  * portion of it, either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated
158  * straightforwardly into another language.  (Hereinafter, translation is
159  * included without limitation in the term &quot;modification&quot;.)
160  * 
161  *   &quot;Source code&quot; for a work means the preferred form of the work for
162  * making modifications to it.  For a library, complete source code means
163  * all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any associated
164  * interface definition files, plus the scripts used to control compilation
165  * and installation of the library.
166  * 
167  *   Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not
168  * covered by this License; they are outside its scope.  The act of
169  * running a program using the Library is not restricted, and output from
170  * such a program is covered only if its contents constitute a work based
171  * on the Library (independent of the use of the Library in a tool for
172  * writing it).  Whether that is true depends on what the Library does
173  * and what the program that uses the Library does.
174  * 
175  *   1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Library's
176  * complete source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that
177  * you conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an
178  * appropriate copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact
179  * all the notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any
180  * warranty; and distribute a copy of this License along with the
181  * Library.
182  * 
183  *   You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy,
184  * and you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a
185  * fee.
186  * 
187  *   2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Library or any portion
188  * of it, thus forming a work based on the Library, and copy and
189  * distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1
190  * above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
191  * 
192  *     a) The modified work must itself be a software library.
193  * 
194  *     b) You must cause the files modified to carry prominent notices
195  *     stating that you changed the files and the date of any change.
196  * 
197  *     c) You must cause the whole of the work to be licensed at no
198  *     charge to all third parties under the terms of this License.
199  * 
200  *     d) If a facility in the modified Library refers to a function or a
201  *     table of data to be supplied by an application program that uses
202  *     the facility, other than as an argument passed when the facility
203  *     is invoked, then you must make a good faith effort to ensure that,
204  *     in the event an application does not supply such function or
205  *     table, the facility still operates, and performs whatever part of
206  *     its purpose remains meaningful.
207  * 
208  *     (For example, a function in a library to compute square roots has
209  *     a purpose that is entirely well-defined independent of the
210  *     application.  Therefore, Subsection 2d requires that any
211  *     application-supplied function or table used by this function must
212  *     be optional: if the application does not supply it, the square
213  *     root function must still compute square roots.)
214  * 
215  * These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole.  If
216  * identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Library,
217  * and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in
218  * themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those
219  * sections when you distribute them as separate works.  But when you
220  * distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based
221  * on the Library, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of
222  * this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the
223  * entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote
224  * it.
225  * 
226  * Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest
227  * your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to
228  * exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or
229  * collective works based on the Library.
230  * 
231  * In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Library
232  * with the Library (or with a work based on the Library) on a volume of
233  * a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under
234  * the scope of this License.
235  * 
236  *   3. You may opt to apply the terms of the ordinary GNU General Public
237  * License instead of this License to a given copy of the Library.  To do
238  * this, you must alter all the notices that refer to this License, so
239  * that they refer to the ordinary GNU General Public License, version 2,
240  * instead of to this License.  (If a newer version than version 2 of the
241  * ordinary GNU General Public License has appeared, then you can specify
242  * that version instead if you wish.)  Do not make any other change in
243  * these notices.
244  * 
245  *   Once this change is made in a given copy, it is irreversible for
246  * that copy, so the ordinary GNU General Public License applies to all
247  * subsequent copies and derivative works made from that copy.
248  * 
249  *   This option is useful when you wish to copy part of the code of
250  * the Library into a program that is not a library.
251  * 
252  *   4. You may copy and distribute the Library (or a portion or
253  * derivative of it, under Section 2) in object code or executable form
254  * under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you accompany
255  * it with the complete corresponding machine-readable source code, which
256  * must be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a
257  * medium customarily used for software interchange.
258  * 
259  *   If distribution of object code is made by offering access to copy
260  * from a designated place, then offering equivalent access to copy the
261  * source code from the same place satisfies the requirement to
262  * distribute the source code, even though third parties are not
263  * compelled to copy the source along with the object code.
264  * 
265  *   5. A program that contains no derivative of any portion of the
266  * Library, but is designed to work with the Library by being compiled or
267  * linked with it, is called a &quot;work that uses the Library&quot;.  Such a
268  * work, in isolation, is not a derivative work of the Library, and
269  * therefore falls outside the scope of this License.
270  * 
271  *   However, linking a &quot;work that uses the Library&quot; with the Library
272  * creates an executable that is a derivative of the Library (because it
273  * contains portions of the Library), rather than a &quot;work that uses the
274  * library&quot;.  The executable is therefore covered by this License.
275  * Section 6 states terms for distribution of such executables.
276  * 
277  *   When a &quot;work that uses the Library&quot; uses material from a header file
278  * that is part of the Library, the object code for the work may be a
279  * derivative work of the Library even though the source code is not.
280  * Whether this is true is especially significant if the work can be
281  * linked without the Library, or if the work is itself a library.  The
282  * threshold for this to be true is not precisely defined by law.
283  * 
284  *   If such an object file uses only numerical parameters, data
285  * structure layouts and accessors, and small macros and small inline
286  * functions (ten lines or less in length), then the use of the object
287  * file is unrestricted, regardless of whether it is legally a derivative
288  * work.  (Executables containing this object code plus portions of the
289  * Library will still fall under Section 6.)
290  * 
291  *   Otherwise, if the work is a derivative of the Library, you may
292  * distribute the object code for the work under the terms of Section 6.
293  * Any executables containing that work also fall under Section 6,
294  * whether or not they are linked directly with the Library itself.
295  * 
296  *   6. As an exception to the Sections above, you may also combine or
297  * link a &quot;work that uses the Library&quot; with the Library to produce a
298  * work containing portions of the Library, and distribute that work
299  * under terms of your choice, provided that the terms permit
300  * modification of the work for the customer's own use and reverse
301  * engineering for debugging such modifications.
302  * 
303  *   You must give prominent notice with each copy of the work that the
304  * Library is used in it and that the Library and its use are covered by
305  * this License.  You must supply a copy of this License.  If the work
306  * during execution displays copyright notices, you must include the
307  * copyright notice for the Library among them, as well as a reference
308  * directing the user to the copy of this License.  Also, you must do one
309  * of these things:
310  * 
311  *     a) Accompany the work with the complete corresponding
312  *     machine-readable source code for the Library including whatever
313  *     changes were used in the work (which must be distributed under
314  *     Sections 1 and 2 above); and, if the work is an executable linked
315  *     with the Library, with the complete machine-readable &quot;work that
316  *     uses the Library&quot;, as object code and/or source code, so that the
317  *     user can modify the Library and then relink to produce a modified
318  *     executable containing the modified Library.  (It is understood
319  *     that the user who changes the contents of definitions files in the
320  *     Library will not necessarily be able to recompile the application
321  *     to use the modified definitions.)
322  * 
323  *     b) Use a suitable shared library mechanism for linking with the
324  *     Library.  A suitable mechanism is one that (1) uses at run time a
325  *     copy of the library already present on the user's computer system,
326  *     rather than copying library functions into the executable, and (2)
327  *     will operate properly with a modified version of the library, if
328  *     the user installs one, as long as the modified version is
329  *     interface-compatible with the version that the work was made with.
330  * 
331  *     c) Accompany the work with a written offer, valid for at
332  *     least three years, to give the same user the materials
333  *     specified in Subsection 6a, above, for a charge no more
334  *     than the cost of performing this distribution.
335  * 
336  *     d) If distribution of the work is made by offering access to copy
337  *     from a designated place, offer equivalent access to copy the above
338  *     specified materials from the same place.
339  * 
340  *     e) Verify that the user has already received a copy of these
341  *     materials or that you have already sent this user a copy.
342  * 
343  *   For an executable, the required form of the &quot;work that uses the
344  * Library&quot; must include any data and utility programs needed for
345  * reproducing the executable from it.  However, as a special exception,
346  * the materials to be distributed need not include anything that is
347  * normally distributed (in either source or binary form) with the major
348  * components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the operating system on
349  * which the executable runs, unless that component itself accompanies
350  * the executable.
351  * 
352  *   It may happen that this requirement contradicts the license
353  * restrictions of other proprietary libraries that do not normally
354  * accompany the operating system.  Such a contradiction means you cannot
355  * use both them and the Library together in an executable that you
356  * distribute.
357  * 
358  *   7. You may place library facilities that are a work based on the
359  * Library side-by-side in a single library together with other library
360  * facilities not covered by this License, and distribute such a combined
361  * library, provided that the separate distribution of the work based on
362  * the Library and of the other library facilities is otherwise
363  * permitted, and provided that you do these two things:
364  * 
365  *     a) Accompany the combined library with a copy of the same work
366  *     based on the Library, uncombined with any other library
367  *     facilities.  This must be distributed under the terms of the
368  *     Sections above.
369  * 
370  *     b) Give prominent notice with the combined library of the fact
371  *     that part of it is a work based on the Library, and explaining
372  *     where to find the accompanying uncombined form of the same work.
373  * 
374  *   8. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, link with, or distribute
375  * the Library except as expressly provided under this License.  Any
376  * attempt otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense, link with, or
377  * distribute the Library is void, and will automatically terminate your
378  * rights under this License.  However, parties who have received copies,
379  * or rights, from you under this License will not have their licenses
380  * terminated so long as such parties remain in full compliance.
381  * 
382  *   9. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not
383  * signed it.  However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or
384  * distribute the Library or its derivative works.  These actions are
385  * prohibited by law if you do not accept this License.  Therefore, by
386  * modifying or distributing the Library (or any work based on the
387  * Library), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and
388  * all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying
389  * the Library or works based on it.
390  * 
391  *   10. Each time you redistribute the Library (or any work based on the
392  * Library), the recipient automatically receives a license from the
393  * original licensor to copy, distribute, link with or modify the Library
394  * subject to these terms and conditions.  You may not impose any further
395  * restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein.
396  * You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties with
397  * this License.
398  * 
399  *   11. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent
400  * infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues),
401  * conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
402  * otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
403  * excuse you from the conditions of this License.  If you cannot
404  * distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this
405  * License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you
406  * may not distribute the Library at all.  For example, if a patent
407  * license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Library by
408  * all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then
409  * the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to
410  * refrain entirely from distribution of the Library.
411  * 
412  * If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under any
413  * particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to apply,
414  * and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other circumstances.
415  * 
416  * It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any
417  * patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any
418  * such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the
419  * integrity of the free software distribution system which is
420  * implemented by public license practices.  Many people have made
421  * generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed
422  * through that system in reliance on consistent application of that
423  * system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing
424  * to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot
425  * impose that choice.
426  * 
427  * This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to
428  * be a consequence of the rest of this License.
429  * 
430  *   12. If the distribution and/or use of the Library is restricted in
431  * certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the
432  * original copyright holder who places the Library under this License may add
433  * an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding those countries,
434  * so that distribution is permitted only in or among countries not thus
435  * excluded.  In such case, this License incorporates the limitation as if
436  * written in the body of this License.
437  * 
438  *   13. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new
439  * versions of the Lesser General Public License from time to time.
440  * Such new versions will be similar in spirit to the present version,
441  * but may differ in detail to address new problems or concerns.
442  * 
443  * Each version is given a distinguishing version number.  If the Library
444  * specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and
445  * &quot;any later version&quot;, you have the option of following the terms and
446  * conditions either of that version or of any later version published by
447  * the Free Software Foundation.  If the Library does not specify a
448  * license version number, you may choose any version ever published by
449  * the Free Software Foundation.
450  * 
451  *   14. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Library into other free
452  * programs whose distribution conditions are incompatible with these,
453  * write to the author to ask for permission.  For software which is
454  * copyrighted by the Free Software Foundation, write to the Free
455  * Software Foundation; we sometimes make exceptions for this.  Our
456  * decision will be guided by the two goals of preserving the free status
457  * of all derivatives of our free software and of promoting the sharing
458  * and reuse of software generally.
459  * 
460  *                 NO WARRANTY
461  * 
462  *   15. BECAUSE THE LIBRARY IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO
463  * WARRANTY FOR THE LIBRARY, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.
464  * EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR
465  * OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE LIBRARY &quot;AS IS&quot; WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY
466  * KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE
467  * IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
468  * PURPOSE.  THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE
469  * LIBRARY IS WITH YOU.  SHOULD THE LIBRARY PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME
470  * THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
471  * 
472  *   16. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN
473  * WRITING WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY
474  * AND/OR REDISTRIBUTE THE LIBRARY AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU
475  * FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR
476  * CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE
477  * LIBRARY (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING
478  * RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A
479  * FAILURE OF THE LIBRARY TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER SOFTWARE), EVEN IF
480  * SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH
481  * DAMAGES.
482  * 
483  *              END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
484  * 
485  *            How to Apply These Terms to Your New Libraries
486  * 
487  *   If you develop a new library, and you want it to be of the greatest
488  * possible use to the public, we recommend making it free software that
489  * everyone can redistribute and change.  You can do so by permitting
490  * redistribution under these terms (or, alternatively, under the terms of the
491  * ordinary General Public License).
492  * 
493  *   To apply these terms, attach the following notices to the library.  It is
494  * safest to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively
495  * convey the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least the
496  * &quot;copyright&quot; line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.
497  * 
498  *     &lt;one line to give the library's name and a brief idea of what it does.&gt;
499  *     Copyright (C) &lt;year&gt;  &lt;name of author&gt;
500  * 
501  *     This library is free software; you can redistribute it and/or
502  *     modify it under the terms of the GNU Lesser General Public
503  *     License as published by the Free Software Foundation; either
504  *     version 2.1 of the License, or (at your option) any later version.
505  * 
506  *     This library is distributed in the hope that it will be useful,
507  *     but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of
508  *     MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.  See the GNU
509  *     Lesser General Public License for more details.
510  * 
511  *     You should have received a copy of the GNU Lesser General Public
512  *     License along with this library; if not, write to the Free Software
513  *     Foundation, Inc., 51 Franklin St, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA  02110-1301  USA
514  * 
515  * Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.
516  * 
517  * You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or your
518  * school, if any, to sign a &quot;copyright disclaimer&quot; for the library, if
519  * necessary.  Here is a sample; alter the names:
520  * 
521  *   Yoyodyne, Inc., hereby disclaims all copyright interest in the
522  *   library `Frob' (a library for tweaking knobs) written by James Random Hacker.
523  * 
524  *   &lt;signature of Ty Coon&gt;, 1 April 1990
525  *   Ty Coon, President of Vice
526  * 
527  * That's all there is to it!
