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