END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
How to Apply These Terms to Your New

Programs

If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the

greatest possible use to the public, the best way to achieve

this is to make it free software which everyone can redistribute

and change under these terms.
To do so, attach the following notices to the program. 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 "copyright" line and a pointer to

where the full notice is found.

<one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of

what it does.>

or modify it under the terms of the GNU General Public

License as published by the Free Software Foundation;

either version 2 of the License, or (at your option) any later

version.
This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful,

but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied

warranty of MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A

PARTICULAR PURPOSE. See the GNU General Public

License for more details.
You should have received a copy of the GNU General

Public License along with this program; if not, write to the

Free Software Foundation, Inc., 51 Franklin Street, Fifth

Floor, Boston, MA 02110- 1301 USA

Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and

paper mail.
If the program is interactive, make it output a short notice like

this when it starts in an interactive mode:

Gnomovision version 69, Copyright (C) year name of author

Gnomovision comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY;

for details type `show w'.

This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it

under certain conditions; type `show c' for details.

The hypothetical commands `show w' and `show c' should

show the appropriate parts of the General Public License.

Of course, the commands you use may be called something

other than `show w' and `show c'; they could even be mouse-

clicks or menu items-- whatever suits your program.
You should also get your employer (if you work as a

programmer) or your school, if any, to sign a "copyright

disclaimer" for the program, if necessary. Here is a sample;

alter the names:

Yoyodyne, Inc., hereby disclaims all copyright interest in the

program `Gnomovision' (which makes passes at compilers)

written by James Hacker.
<signature of Ty Coon>, 1 April 1989

This General Public License does not permit incorporating

your program into proprietary programs. If your program is a

subroutine library, you may consider it more useful to permit

linking proprietary applications with the library. If this is what

you want to do, use the GNU Lesser General Public License

instead of this License.

GNU LESSER GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
Version 2.1, February 1999

51 Franklin Street, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA 02110-1301 USA

Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies

of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
[This is the first released version of the Lesser GPL. It also

counts as the successor of the GNU Library Public License,

version 2, hence the version number 2.1.]

Preamble

The licenses for most software are designed to take away

your freedom to share and change it. By contrast, the GNU

General Public Licenses are intended to guarantee your

freedom to share and change free software--to make sure the

software is free for all its users.
This license, the Lesser General Public License, applies

to some specially designated software packages--typically

libraries--of the Free Software Foundation and other authors

who decide to use it. You can use it too, but we suggest you

first think carefully about whether this license or the ordinary

General Public License is the better strategy to use in any

particular case, based on the explanations below.
When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom

of use, not price. Our General Public Licenses are designed

to make sure that you have the freedom to distribute copies

of free software (and charge for this service if you wish); that

you receive source code or can get it if you want it; that you

can change the software and use pieces of it in new free

programs; and that you are informed that you can do these

things.
To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that

forbid distributors to deny you these rights or to ask you to

surrender these rights. These restrictions translate to certain

responsibilities for you if you distribute copies of the library or

if you modify it.
For example, if you distribute copies of the library, whether

gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the

rights that we gave you. You must make sure that they, too,

receive or can get the source code. If you link other code

with the library, you must provide complete object files to the

recipients, so that they can relink them with the library after

making changes to the library and recompiling it. And you

must show them these terms so they know their rights.
We protect your rights with a two-step method: (1) we

gives you legal permission to copy, distribute and/or modify

the library. To protect each distributor, we want to make it

very clear that there is no warranty for the free library. Also,

if the library is modified by someone else and passed on, the

recipients should know that what they have is not the original

version, so that the original author's reputation will not be

affected by problems that might be introduced by others.
