      <title>Preamble</title>

      <para>The licenses for most software are designed to take away
      your freedom to share and change it.  By contrast, the GNU General
      Public Licenses are intended to guarantee your freedom to share
      and change free software--to make sure the software is free for
      all its users.</para>

      <para>This license, the Lesser General Public License, applies to
      some specially designated software packages--typically
      libraries--of the Free Software Foundation and other authors who
      decide to use it.  You can use it too, but we suggest you first
      think carefully about whether this license or the ordinary General
      Public License is the better strategy to use in any particular
      case, based on the explanations below.</para>

      <para>When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom
      of use, not price.  Our General Public Licenses are designed to
      make sure that you have the freedom to distribute copies of free
      software (and charge for this service if you wish); that you
      receive source code or can get it if you want it; that you can
      change the software and use pieces of it in new free programs; and
      that you are informed that you can do these things.</para>

      <para>To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that
      forbid distributors to deny you these rights or to ask you to
      surrender these rights.  These restrictions translate to certain
      responsibilities for you if you distribute copies of the library
      or if you modify it.</para>

      <para>For example, if you distribute copies of the library,
      whether gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the
      rights that we gave you.  You must make sure that they, too,
      receive or can get the source code.  If you link other code with
      the library, you must provide complete object files to the
      recipients, so that they can relink them with the library after
      making changes to the library and recompiling it.  And you must
      show them these terms so they know their rights.</para>

      <para>We protect your rights with a two-step method: (1) we
      copyright the library, and (2) we offer you this license, which
      gives you legal permission to copy, distribute and/or modify the
      library.</para>

      <para>To protect each distributor, we want to make it very clear
      that there is no warranty for the free library.  Also, if the
      library is modified by someone else and passed on, the recipients
      should know that what they have is not the original version, so
      that the original author&#x2019;s reputation will not be affected
      by problems that might be introduced by others.</para>

      <para>Finally, software patents pose a constant threat to the
      existence of any free program.  We wish to make sure that a
      company cannot effectively restrict the users of a free program by
      obtaining a restrictive license from a patent holder.  Therefore,
      we insist that any patent license obtained for a version of the
      library must be consistent with the full freedom of use specified
      in this license.</para>

      <para>Most GNU software, including some libraries, is covered by
      the ordinary GNU General Public License.  This license, the GNU
      Lesser General Public License, applies to certain designated
      libraries, and is quite different from the ordinary General Public
      License.  We use this license for certain libraries in order to
      permit linking those libraries into non-free programs.</para>

      <para>When a program is linked with a library, whether statically
      or using a shared library, the combination of the two is legally
      speaking a combined work, a derivative of the original library.
      The ordinary General Public License therefore permits such linking
      only if the entire combination fits its criteria of freedom.  The
      Lesser General Public License permits more lax criteria for
      linking other code with the library.</para>

      <para>We call this license the &#x201C;Lesser&#x201D; General Public
      License because it does Less to protect the user&#x2019;s freedom
      than the ordinary General Public License.  It also provides other
      free software developers Less of an advantage over competing
      non-free programs.  These disadvantages are the reason we use the
      ordinary General Public License for many libraries.  However, the
      Lesser license provides advantages in certain special
      circumstances.</para>

      <para>For example, on rare occasions, there may be a special need
      to encourage the widest possible use of a certain library, so that
      it becomes a de-facto standard.  To achieve this, non-free
      programs must be allowed to use the library.  A more frequent case
      is that a free library does the same job as widely used non-free
      libraries.  In this case, there is little to gain by limiting the
      free library to free software only, so we use the Lesser General
      Public License.</para>

      <para>In other cases, permission to use a particular library in
      non-free programs enables a greater number of people to use a
      large body of free software.  For example, permission to use the
      GNU C Library in non-free programs enables many more people to use
      the whole GNU operating system, as well as its variant, the
      GNU/Linux operating system.</para>

      <para>Although the Lesser General Public License is Less
      protective of the users&#x2019; freedom, it does ensure that the
      user of a program that is linked with the Library has the freedom
      and the wherewithal to run that program using a modified version
      of the Library.</para>

      <para>The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution
      and modification follow.  Pay close attention to the difference
      between a &#x201C;work based on the library&#x201D; and a
      &#x201C;work that uses the library&#x201D;.  The former contains
      code derived from the library, whereas the latter must be combined
      with the library in order to run.</para>

    <sect3 id="lgpl-terms">
      <title>GNU LESSER GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE</title>
      <subtitle>TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND
      MODIFICATION</subtitle>

      <para>0. This License Agreement applies to any software library or
      other program which contains a notice placed by the copyright
      holder or other authorized party saying it may be distributed
      under the terms of this Lesser General Public License (also called
      &#x201C;this License&#x201D;).  Each licensee is addressed as
      &#x201C;you&#x201D;.</para>

      <para>A &#x201C;library&#x201D; means a collection of software
      functions and/or data prepared so as to be conveniently linked
      with application programs (which use some of those functions and
      data) to form executables.</para>

      <para>The &#x201C;Library&#x201D;, below, refers to any such
      software library or work which has been distributed under these
      terms.  A &#x201C;work based on the Library&#x201D; means either the
      Library or any derivative work under copyright law: that is to
      say, a work containing the Library or a portion of it, either
      verbatim or with modifications and/or translated straightforwardly
      into another language.  (Hereinafter, translation is included
      without limitation in the term &#x201C;modification&#x201D;.)</para>

      <para>&#x201C;Source code&#x201D; for a work means the preferred
      form of the work for making modifications to it.  For a library,
      complete source code means all the source code for all modules it
      contains, plus any associated interface definition files, plus the
      scripts used to control compilation and installation of the
      library.</para>

      <para>Activities other than copying, distribution and modification
      are not covered by this License; they are outside its scope.  The
      act of running a program using the Library is not restricted, and
      output from such a program is covered only if its contents
      constitute a work based on the Library (independent of the use of
      the Library in a tool for writing it).  Whether that is true
      depends on what the Library does and what the program that uses
      the Library does.</para>

      <para>1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the
      Library&#x2019;s complete source code as you receive it, in any
      medium, provided that you conspicuously and appropriately publish
      on each copy an appropriate copyright notice and disclaimer of
      warranty; keep intact all the notices that refer to this License
      and to the absence of any warranty; and distribute a copy of this
      License along with the Library.</para>

      <para>You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a
      copy, and you may at your option offer warranty protection in
      exchange for a fee.</para>

      <para>2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Library or any
      portion of it, thus forming a work based on the Library, and copy
      and distribute such modifications or work under the terms of
      Section 1 above, provided that you also meet all of these
      conditions:</para>

      <blockquote>
        <para>a) The modified work must itself be a software
        library.</para>

        <para>b) You must cause the files modified to carry prominent
        notices stating that you changed the files and the date of any
        change.</para>

        <para>c) You must cause the whole of the work to be licensed at
        no charge to all third parties under the terms of this
        License.</para>

        <para>d) If a facility in the modified Library refers to a
        function or a table of data to be supplied by an application
        program that uses the facility, other than as an argument passed
        when the facility is invoked, then you must make a good faith
        effort to ensure that, in the event an application does not
        supply such function or table, the facility still operates, and
        performs whatever part of its purpose remains meaningful.</para>

        <para>(For example, a function in a library to compute square
        roots has a purpose that is entirely well-defined independent of
        the application.  Therefore, Subsection 2d requires that any
        application-supplied function or table used by this function
        must be optional: if the application does not supply it, the
        square root function must still compute square roots.)</para>
      </blockquote>

      <para>These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole.
      If identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the
      Library, and can be reasonably considered independent and separate
      works in themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not
      apply to those sections when you distribute them as separate
      works.  But when you distribute the same sections as part of a
      whole which is a work based on the Library, the distribution of
      the whole must be on the terms of this License, whose permissions
      for other licensees extend to the entire whole, and thus to each
      and every part regardless of who wrote it.</para>

      <para>Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights
      or contest your rights to work written entirely by you; rather,
      the intent is to exercise the right to control the distribution of
      derivative or collective works based on the Library.</para>

      <para>In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on
      the Library with the Library (or with a work based on the Library)
      on a volume of a storage or distribution medium does not bring the
      other work under the scope of this License.</para>

      <para>3. You may opt to apply the terms of the ordinary GNU
      General Public License instead of this License to a given copy of
      the Library.  To do this, you must alter all the notices that
      refer to this License, so that they refer to the ordinary GNU
      General Public License, version 2, instead of to this License.
      (If a newer version than version 2 of the ordinary GNU General
      Public License has appeared, then you can specify that version
      instead if you wish.)  Do not make any other change in these
      notices.</para>

      <para>Once this change is made in a given copy, it is irreversible
      for that copy, so the ordinary GNU General Public License applies
      to all subsequent copies and derivative works made from that
      copy.</para>

      <para>This option is useful when you wish to copy part of the code
      of the Library into a program that is not a library.</para>

      <para>4. You may copy and distribute the Library (or a portion or
      derivative of it, under Section 2) in object code or executable
      form under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you
      accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable
      source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections
      1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software
      interchange.</para>

      <para>If distribution of object code is made by offering access to
      copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent access to
      copy the source code from the same place satisfies the requirement
      to distribute the source code, even though third parties are not
      compelled to copy the source along with the object code.</para>

      <para>5. A program that contains no derivative of any portion of
      the Library, but is designed to work with the Library by being
      compiled or linked with it, is called a &#x201C;work that uses the
      Library&#x201D;.  Such a work, in isolation, is not a derivative
      work of the Library, and therefore falls outside the scope of this
      License.</para>

      <para>However, linking a &#x201C;work that uses the Library&#x201D;
      with the Library creates an executable that is a derivative of the
      Library (because it contains portions of the Library), rather than
      a &#x201C;work that uses the library&#x201D;.  The executable is
      therefore covered by this License.  Section 6 states terms for
      distribution of such executables.</para>

      <para>When a &#x201C;work that uses the Library&#x201D; uses
      material from a header file that is part of the Library, the
      object code for the work may be a derivative work of the Library
      even though the source code is not.  Whether this is true is
      especially significant if the work can be linked without the
      Library, or if the work is itself a library.  The threshold for
      this to be true is not precisely defined by law.</para>

      <para>If such an object file uses only numerical parameters, data
      structure layouts and accessors, and small macros and small inline
      functions (ten lines or less in length), then the use of the
      object file is unrestricted, regardless of whether it is legally a
      derivative work.  (Executables containing this object code plus
      portions of the Library will still fall under Section 6.)</para>

      <para>Otherwise, if the work is a derivative of the Library, you
      may distribute the object code for the work under the terms of
      Section 6.  Any executables containing that work also fall under
      Section 6, whether or not they are linked directly with the
      Library itself.</para>

      <para>6. As an exception to the Sections above, you may also
      combine or link a &#x201C;work that uses the Library&#x201D; with
      the Library to produce a work containing portions of the Library,
      and distribute that work under terms of your choice, provided that
      the terms permit modification of the work for the customer&#x2019;s
      own use and reverse engineering for debugging such
      modifications.</para>

      <para>You must give prominent notice with each copy of the work
      that the Library is used in it and that the Library and its use
      are covered by this License.  You must supply a copy of this
      License.  If the work during execution displays copyright notices,
      you must include the copyright notice for the Library among them,
      as well as a reference directing the user to the copy of this
      License.  Also, you must do one of these things:</para>

      <blockquote>
        <para>a) Accompany the work with the complete corresponding
        machine-readable source code for the Library including whatever
        changes were used in the work (which must be distributed under
        Sections 1 and 2 above); and, if the work is an executable
        linked with the Library, with the complete machine-readable
        &#x201C;work that uses the Library&#x201D;, as object code and/or
        source code, so that the user can modify the Library and then
        relink to produce a modified executable containing the modified
        Library.  (It is understood that the user who changes the
        contents of definitions files in the Library will not
        necessarily be able to recompile the application to use the
        modified definitions.)</para>

        <para>b) Use a suitable shared library mechanism for linking
        with the Library.  A suitable mechanism is one that (1) uses at
        run time a copy of the library already present on the
        user&#x2019;s computer system, rather than copying library
        functions into the executable, and (2) will operate properly
        with a modified version of the library, if the user installs
        one, as long as the modified version is interface-compatible
        with the version that the work was made with.</para>

        <para>c) Accompany the work with a written offer, valid for at
        least three years, to give the same user the materials specified
        in Subsection 6a, above, for a charge no more than the cost of
        performing this distribution.</para>

        <para>d) If distribution of the work is made by offering access
        to copy from a designated place, offer equivalent access to copy
        the above specified materials from the same place.</para>

        <para>e) Verify that the user has already received a copy of
        these materials or that you have already sent this user a
        copy.</para>
      </blockquote>

      <para>For an executable, the required form of the &#x201C;work that
      uses the Library&#x201D; must include any data and utility programs
      needed for reproducing the executable from it.  However, as a
      special exception, the materials to be distributed need not
      include anything that is normally distributed (in either source or
      binary form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so
      on) of the operating system on which the executable runs, unless
      that component itself accompanies the executable.</para>

      <para>It may happen that this requirement contradicts the license
      restrictions of other proprietary libraries that do not normally
      accompany the operating system.  Such a contradiction means you
      cannot use both them and the Library together in an executable
      that you distribute.</para>

      <para>7. You may place library facilities that are a work based on
      the Library side-by-side in a single library together with other
      library facilities not covered by this License, and distribute
      such a combined library, provided that the separate distribution
      of the work based on the Library and of the other library
      facilities is otherwise permitted, and provided that you do these
      two things:</para>

      <blockquote>
        <para>a) Accompany the combined library with a copy of the same
        work based on the Library, uncombined with any other library
        facilities.  This must be distributed under the terms of the
        Sections above.</para>

        <para>b) Give prominent notice with the combined library of the
        fact that part of it is a work based on the Library, and
        explaining where to find the accompanying uncombined form of the
        same work.</para>
      </blockquote>

      <para>8. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, link with, or
      distribute the Library except as expressly provided under this
      License.  Any attempt otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense, link
      with, or distribute the Library is void, and will automatically
      terminate your rights under this License.  However, parties who
      have received copies, or rights, from you under this License will
      not have their licenses terminated so long as such parties remain
      in full compliance.</para>

      <para>9. You are not required to accept this License, since you
      have not signed it.  However, nothing else grants you permission
      to modify or distribute the Library or its derivative works.
      These actions are prohibited by law if you do not accept this
      License.  Therefore, by modifying or distributing the Library (or
      any work based on the Library), you indicate your acceptance of
      this License to do so, and all its terms and conditions for
      copying, distributing or modifying the Library or works based on
      it.</para>

      <para>10. Each time you redistribute the Library (or any work
      based on the Library), the recipient automatically receives a
      license from the original licensor to copy, distribute, link with
      or modify the Library subject to these terms and conditions.  You
      may not impose any further restrictions on the recipients&#x2019;
      exercise of the rights granted herein.  You are not responsible
      for enforcing compliance by third parties with this
      License.</para>

      <para>11. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation
      of patent infringement or for any other reason (not limited to
      patent issues), conditions are imposed on you (whether by court
      order, agreement or otherwise) that contradict the conditions of
      this License, they do not excuse you from the conditions of this
      License.  If you cannot distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously
      your obligations under this License and any other pertinent
      obligations, then as a consequence you may not distribute the
      Library at all.  For example, if a patent license would not permit
      royalty-free redistribution of the Library by all those who
      receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then the only
      way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to refrain
      entirely from distribution of the Library.</para>

      <para>If any portion of this section is held invalid or
      unenforceable under any particular circumstance, the balance of
      the section is intended to apply, and the section as a whole is
      intended to apply in other circumstances.</para>

      <para>It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to
      infringe any patents or other property right claims or to contest
      validity of any such claims; this section has the sole purpose of
      protecting the integrity of the free software distribution system
      which is implemented by public license practices.  Many people
      have made generous contributions to the wide range of software
      distributed through that system in reliance on consistent
      application of that system; it is up to the author/donor to decide
      if he or she is willing to distribute software through any other
      system and a licensee cannot impose that choice.</para>

      <para>This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is
      believed to be a consequence of the rest of this License.</para>

      <para>12. If the distribution and/or use of the Library is
      restricted in certain countries either by patents or by
      copyrighted interfaces, the original copyright holder who places
      the Library under this License may add an explicit geographical
      distribution limitation excluding those countries, so that
      distribution is permitted only in or among countries not thus
      excluded.  In such case, this License incorporates the limitation
      as if written in the body of this License.</para>

      <para>13. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or
      new versions of the Lesser General Public License from time to
      time.  Such new versions will be similar in spirit to the present
      version, but may differ in detail to address new problems or
      concerns.</para>

      <para>Each version is given a distinguishing version number.  If
      the Library specifies a version number of this License which
      applies to it and &#x201C;any later version&#x201D;, you have the
      option of following the terms and conditions either of that
      version or of any later version published by the Free Software
      Foundation.  If the Library does not specify a license version
      number, you may choose any version ever published by the Free
      Software Foundation.</para>

      <para>14. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Library into
      other free programs whose distribution conditions are incompatible
      with these, write to the author to ask for permission.  For
      software which is copyrighted by the Free Software Foundation,
      write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes make
      exceptions for this.  Our decision will be guided by the two goals
      of preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free
      software and of promoting the sharing and reuse of software
      generally.</para>

      <para>NO WARRANTY</para>

      <para>15. BECAUSE THE LIBRARY IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS
      NO WARRANTY FOR THE LIBRARY, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE
      LAW.  EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT
      HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE LIBRARY &#x201C;AS
      IS&#x201D; WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR
      IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
      MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.  THE ENTIRE
      RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE LIBRARY IS WITH YOU.
      SHOULD THE LIBRARY PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL
      NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.</para>

      <para>16. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED
      TO IN WRITING WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO
      MAY MODIFY AND/OR REDISTRIBUTE THE LIBRARY AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE
      LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL,
      INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR
      INABILITY TO USE THE LIBRARY (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF
      DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU
      OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE LIBRARY TO OPERATE WITH ANY
      OTHER SOFTWARE), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN
      ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.</para>

      <title>How to Apply These Terms to Your New Libraries</title>

      <para>If you develop a new library, and you want it to be of the
      greatest possible use to the public, we recommend making it free
      software that everyone can redistribute and change.  You can do so
      by permitting redistribution under these terms (or, alternatively,
      under the terms of the ordinary General Public License).</para>

      <para>To apply these terms, attach the following notices to the
      library.  It is safest to attach them to the start of each source
      file to most effectively convey the exclusion of warranty; and
      each file should have at least the &#x201C;copyright&#x201D; line
      and a pointer to where the full notice is found.</para>

      <blockquote>
        <para>&lt;one line to give the library&#x2019;s name and a brief
        idea of what it does.&gt;</para>

        version.</para>

        useful, but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied
        warranty of MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

      sample; alter the names:</para>
