15 ===================================================================
16 As a special exception, the copyright holders of this library give you
17 permission to link this library with independent modules to produce an
18 executable, regardless of the license terms of these independent modules,
19 and to copy and distribute the resulting executable under terms of your
20 choice, provided that you also meet, for each linked independent module,
21 the terms and conditions of the license of that module. An independent
22 module is a module which is not derived from or based on this library.
23 If you modify this library, you may extend this exception to your version
24 of the library, but you are not obligated to do so. If you do not wish
25 to do so, delete this exception statement from your version.

28 GNU LESSER GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
29 Version 2.1, February 1999
30
31 Copyright (C) 1991, 1999 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
32 51 Franklin Street, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA 02110-1301 USA
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 "Lesser" 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 "work based on the library" and a "work that uses the library". 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 "this License").
149 Each licensee is addressed as "you".
150
151 A "library" 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 "Library", below, refers to any such software library or work
156 which has been distributed under these terms. A "work based on the
157 Library" 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 "modification".)
162
163 "Source code" 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 "work that uses the Library". 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 "work that uses the Library" 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 "work that uses the
276 library". The executable is therefore covered by this License.
277 Section 6 states terms for distribution of such executables.
278
279 When a "work that uses the Library" 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 "work that uses the Library" 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 "work that
318 uses the Library", 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 "work that uses the
346 Library" 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 "any later version", 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 "AS IS" 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

497 convey the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least the
498 "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.

540 As a special exception to the GNU Lesser General Public License, you
541 may link, statically or dynamically, a "work that uses the Library"
542 with a publicly distributed version of the Library to produce an
543 executable file containing portions of the Library, and distribute
544 that executable file under terms of your choice, without any of the
545 additional requirements listed in clause 6 of the GNU Library General
546 Public License. By "a publicly distributed version of the Library",
547 we mean either the unmodified Library as distributed by the copyright
548 holder, or a modified version of the Library that is distributed under
549 the conditions defined in clause 3 of the GNU Library General Public
550 License. This exception does not however invalidate any other reasons
551 why the executable file might be covered by the GNU Lesser General
552 Public License.

555 GNU LESSER GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
556 Version 3, 29 June 2007
557
558 Copyright (C) 2007 Free Software Foundation, Inc. <http://fsf.org/>
559 Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
560 of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
561
562
563 This version of the GNU Lesser General Public License incorporates
564 the terms and conditions of version 3 of the GNU General Public
565 License, supplemented by the additional permissions listed below.
566
567 0. Additional Definitions.
568
569 As used herein, "this License" refers to version 3 of the GNU Lesser
570 General Public License, and the "GNU GPL" refers to version 3 of the GNU
571 General Public License.
572
573 "The Library" refers to a covered work governed by this License,
574 other than an Application or a Combined Work as defined below.
575
576 An "Application" is any work that makes use of an interface provided
577 by the Library, but which is not otherwise based on the Library.
578 Defining a subclass of a class defined by the Library is deemed a mode
579 of using an interface provided by the Library.
580
581 A "Combined Work" is a work produced by combining or linking an
582 Application with the Library. The particular version of the Library
583 with which the Combined Work was made is also called the "Linked
584 Version".
585
586 The "Minimal Corresponding Source" for a Combined Work means the
587 Corresponding Source for the Combined Work, excluding any source code
588 for portions of the Combined Work that, considered in isolation, are
589 based on the Application, and not on the Linked Version.
590
591 The "Corresponding Application Code" for a Combined Work means the
592 object code and/or source code for the Application, including any data
593 and utility programs needed for reproducing the Combined Work from the
594 Application, but excluding the System Libraries of the Combined Work.
595
596 1. Exception to Section 3 of the GNU GPL.
597
598 You may convey a covered work under sections 3 and 4 of this License
599 without being bound by section 3 of the GNU GPL.
600
601 2. Conveying Modified Versions.
602
603 If you modify a copy of the Library, and, in your modifications, a
604 facility refers to a function or data to be supplied by an Application
605 that uses the facility (other than as an argument passed when the
606 facility is invoked), then you may convey a copy of the modified
607 version:
608
609 a) under this License, provided that you make a good faith effort to
610 ensure that, in the event an Application does not supply the
611 function or data, the facility still operates, and performs
612 whatever part of its purpose remains meaningful, or
613
614 b) under the GNU GPL, with none of the additional permissions of
615 this License applicable to that copy.
616
617 3. Object Code Incorporating Material from Library Header Files.
618
619 The object code form of an Application may incorporate material from
620 a header file that is part of the Library. You may convey such object
621 code under terms of your choice, provided that, if the incorporated
622 material is not limited to numerical parameters, data structure
623 layouts and accessors, or small macros, inline functions and templates
624 (ten or fewer lines in length), you do both of the following:
625
626 a) Give prominent notice with each copy of the object code that the
627 Library is used in it and that the Library and its use are
628 covered by this License.
629
630 b) Accompany the object code with a copy of the GNU GPL and this license
631 document.
632
633 4. Combined Works.
634
635 You may convey a Combined Work under terms of your choice that,
636 taken together, effectively do not restrict modification of the
637 portions of the Library contained in the Combined Work and reverse
638 engineering for debugging such modifications, if you also do each of
639 the following:
640
641 a) Give prominent notice with each copy of the Combined Work that
642 the Library is used in it and that the Library and its use are
643 covered by this License.
644
645 b) Accompany the Combined Work with a copy of the GNU GPL and this license
646 document.
647
648 c) For a Combined Work that displays copyright notices during
649 execution, include the copyright notice for the Library among
650 these notices, as well as a reference directing the user to the
651 copies of the GNU GPL and this license document.
652
653 d) Do one of the following:
654
655 0) Convey the Minimal Corresponding Source under the terms of this
656 License, and the Corresponding Application Code in a form
657 suitable for, and under terms that permit, the user to
658 recombine or relink the Application with a modified version of
659 the Linked Version to produce a modified Combined Work, in the
660 manner specified by section 6 of the GNU GPL for conveying
661 Corresponding Source.
662
663 1) Use a suitable shared library mechanism for linking with the
664 Library. A suitable mechanism is one that (a) uses at run time
665 a copy of the Library already present on the user's computer
666 system, and (b) will operate properly with a modified version
667 of the Library that is interface-compatible with the Linked
668 Version.
669
670 e) Provide Installation Information, but only if you would otherwise
671 be required to provide such information under section 6 of the
672 GNU GPL, and only to the extent that such information is
673 necessary to install and execute a modified version of the
674 Combined Work produced by recombining or relinking the
675 Application with a modified version of the Linked Version. (If
676 you use option 4d0, the Installation Information must accompany
677 the Minimal Corresponding Source and Corresponding Application
678 Code. If you use option 4d1, you must provide the Installation
679 Information in the manner specified by section 6 of the GNU GPL
680 for conveying Corresponding Source.)
681
682 5. Combined Libraries.
683
684 You may place library facilities that are a work based on the
685 Library side by side in a single library together with other library
686 facilities that are not Applications and are not covered by this
687 License, and convey such a combined library under terms of your
688 choice, if you do both of the following:
689
690 a) Accompany the combined library with a copy of the same work based
691 on the Library, uncombined with any other library facilities,
692 conveyed under the terms of this License.
693
694 b) Give prominent notice with the combined library that part of it
695 is a work based on the Library, and explaining where to find the
696 accompanying uncombined form of the same work.
697
698 6. Revised Versions of the GNU Lesser General Public License.
699
700 The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions
701 of the GNU Lesser General Public License from time to time. Such new
702 versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may
703 differ in detail to address new problems or concerns.
704
705 Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the
706 Library as you received it specifies that a certain numbered version
707 of the GNU Lesser General Public License "or any later version"
708 applies to it, you have the option of following the terms and
709 conditions either of that published version or of any later version
710 published by the Free Software Foundation. If the Library as you
711 received it does not specify a version number of the GNU Lesser
712 General Public License, you may choose any version of the GNU Lesser
713 General Public License ever published by the Free Software Foundation.
714
715 If the Library as you received it specifies that a proxy can decide
716 whether future versions of the GNU Lesser General Public License shall
717 apply, that proxy's public statement of acceptance of any version is
718 permanent authorization for you to choose that version for the
719 Library.
