From Robert Osfield, a rather belated update of the copyright/licensing notes
to reflect the intended OpenSceneGraph Public License (OSGPL).

Hmmm...I thought we had changed OT to OSGPL some time ago. Perhaps this
didn't make the jump one time when we moved CVS. In any case. I'd
prefer it to be OSGPL as this license is clearer w.r.t. what's
permissible IMO.

Make it so, Number One. Grin.

PS. Sorry for the cheesy star-trek joke...no offense meant if you
aren't a fan.

    5 Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies 
    6 of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.

    8 Preamble 
    9  
    10 The licenses for most software are designed to take away your freedom to  
    11 share and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public Licenses are  
    12 intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free software--to  
    13 make sure the software is free for all its users. 
    14  
    15 This license, the Lesser General Public License, applies to some specially  
    16 designated software packages--typically libraries--of the Free Software  
    17 Foundation and other authors who decide to use it. You can use it too, but  
    18 we suggest you first think carefully about whether this license or the  
    19 ordinary General Public License is the better strategy to use in any  
    20 particular case, based on the explanations below. 
    21  
    22 When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom of use, not  
    23 price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you have  
    24 the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for this  
    25 service if you wish); that you receive source code or can get it if you  
    26 want it; that you can change the software and use pieces of it in new free  
    27 programs; and that you are informed that you can do these things. 
    28  
    29 To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid  
    30 distributors to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender these  
    31 rights. These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you  
    32 if you distribute copies of the library or if you modify it. 
    33  
    34 For example, if you distribute copies of the library, whether gratis or  
    35 for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that we gave you.  
    36 You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the source code. If  
    37 you link other code with the library, you must provide complete object  
    38 files to the recipients, so that they can relink them with the library  
    39 after making changes to the library and recompiling it. And you must show  
    40 them these terms so they know their rights. 
    41  
    42 We protect your rights with a two-step method: (1) we copyright the  
    43 library, and (2) we offer you this license, which gives you legal

     50  1. As a special exception, the copyright holders of this library give 
     51  permission for additional uses of the text contained in this release of 
     52  the library as licenced under the wxWindows Library Licence, applying 
     53  either version 3 of the Licence, or (at your option) any later version of 
     54  the Licence as published by the copyright holders of version 3 of the

     62  General Public Licence or the GNU Library General Public Licence into a 
     63  copy of this library, as this licence permits, the exception does not 
     64  apply to the code that you add in this way.  To avoid misleading anyone as 
     65  to the status of such modified files, you must delete this exception 
     66  notice from such code and/or adjust the licensing conditions notice 
     67  accordingly.

     76                  GNU LESSER GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE 
     77                       Version 2.1, February 1999 
     78 
     79 Copyright (C) 1991, 1999 Free Software Foundation, Inc. 
     80 51 Franklin Street, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA  02110-1301  USA 
     81 Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies 
     82 of this license document, but changing it is not allowed. 
     83 
     84[This is the first released version of the Lesser GPL.  It also counts 
     85 as the successor of the GNU Library Public License, version 2, hence 
     86 the version number 2.1.] 
     87 
     88                            Preamble 
     89 
     90  The licenses for most software are designed to take away your 
     91freedom to share and change it.  By contrast, the GNU General Public 
     92Licenses are intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change 
     93free software--to make sure the software is free for all its users. 
     94 
     95  This license, the Lesser General Public License, applies to some 
     96specially designated software packages--typically libraries--of the 
     97Free Software Foundation and other authors who decide to use it.  You 
     98can use it too, but we suggest you first think carefully about whether 
     99this license or the ordinary General Public License is the better 
     100strategy to use in any particular case, based on the explanations below. 
     101 
     102  When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom of use, 
     103not price.  Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that 
     104you have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge 
     105for this service if you wish); that you receive source code or can get 
     106it if you want it; that you can change the software and use pieces of 
     107it in new free programs; and that you are informed that you can do 
     108these things. 
     109 
     110  To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid 
     111distributors to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender these 
     112rights.  These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for 
     113you if you distribute copies of the library or if you modify it. 
     114 
     115  For example, if you distribute copies of the library, whether gratis 
     116or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that we gave 
     117you.  You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the source 
     118code.  If you link other code with the library, you must provide 
     119complete object files to the recipients, so that they can relink them 
     120with the library after making changes to the library and recompiling 
     121it.  And you must show them these terms so they know their rights. 
     122 
     123  We protect your rights with a two-step method: (1) we copyright the 
     124library, and (2) we offer you this license, which gives you legal 
    44125permission to copy, distribute and/or modify the library. 
    45126 
    46 To protect each distributor, we want to make it very clear that there is  
    47 no warranty for the free library. Also, if the library is modified by  
    48 someone else and passed on, the recipients should know that what they have  
    49 is not the original version, so that the original author's reputation will  
    50 not be affected by problems that might be introduced by others. 
    51  
    52 Finally, software patents pose a constant threat to the existence of any  
    53 free program. We wish to make sure that a company cannot effectively  
    54 restrict the users of a free program by obtaining a restrictive license  
    55 from a patent holder. Therefore, we insist that any patent license  
    56 obtained for a version of the library must be consistent with the full  
    57 freedom of use specified in this license. 
    58  
    59 Most GNU software, including some libraries, is covered by the ordinary  
    60 GNU General Public License. This license, the GNU Lesser General Public  
    61 License, applies to certain designated libraries, and is quite different  
    62 from the ordinary General Public License. We use this license for certain  
    63 libraries in order to permit linking those libraries into non-free  
    64 programs. 
    65  
    66 When a program is linked with a library, whether statically or using a  
    67 shared library, the combination of the two is legally speaking a combined  
    68 work, a derivative of the original library. The ordinary General Public  
    69 License therefore permits such linking only if the entire combination fits  
    70 its criteria of freedom. The Lesser General Public License permits more  
    71 lax criteria for linking other code with the library. 
    72  
    73 We call this license the "Lesser" General Public License because it does  
    74 Less to protect the user's freedom than the ordinary General Public  
    75 License. It also provides other free software developers Less of an  
    76 advantage over competing non-free programs. These disadvantages are the  
    77 reason we use the ordinary General Public License for many libraries.  
    78 However, the Lesser license provides advantages in certain special  
    79 circumstances. 
    80  
    81 For example, on rare occasions, there may be a special need to encourage  
    82 the widest possible use of a certain library, so that it becomes a  
    83 de-facto standard. To achieve this, non-free programs must be allowed to  
    84 use the library. A more frequent case is that a free library does the same  
    85 job as widely used non-free libraries. In this case, there is little to  
    86 gain by limiting the free library to free software only, so we use the  
    87 Lesser General Public License. 
    88  
    89 In other cases, permission to use a particular library in non-free  
    90 programs enables a greater number of people to use a large body of free  
    91 software. For example, permission to use the GNU C Library in non-free  
    92 programs enables many more people to use the whole GNU operating system,  
    93 as well as its variant, the GNU/Linux operating system. 
    94  
    95 Although the Lesser General Public License is Less protective of the  
    96 users' freedom, it does ensure that the user of a program that is linked  
    97 with the Library has the freedom and the wherewithal to run that program  
    98 using a modified version of the Library. 
    99  
    100 The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and  
    101 modification follow. Pay close attention to the difference between a "work  
    102 based on the library" and a "work that uses the library". The former  
    103 contains code derived from the library, whereas the latter must be  
    104 combined with the library in order to run. 
    105  
    106 TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION 
    107  
    108 0. This License Agreement applies to any software library or other program  
    109 which contains a notice placed by the copyright holder or other authorized  
    110 party saying it may be distributed under the terms of this Lesser General  
    111 Public License (also called "this License"). Each licensee is addressed as  
    112 "you". 
    113  
    114 A "library" means a collection of software functions and/or data prepared  
    115 so as to be conveniently linked with application programs (which use some  
    116 of those functions and data) to form executables. 
    117  
    118 The "Library", below, refers to any such software library or work which  
    119 has been distributed under these terms. A "work based on the Library"  
    120 means either the Library or any derivative work under copyright law: that  
    121 is to say, a work containing the Library or a portion of it, either  
    122 verbatim or with modifications and/or translated straightforwardly into  
    123 another language. (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation  
    124 in the term "modification".) 
    125  
    126 "Source code" for a work means the preferred form of the work for making  
    127 modifications to it. For a library, complete source code means all the  
    128 source code for all modules it contains, plus any associated interface  
    129 definition files, plus the scripts used to control compilation and  
    130 installation of the library. 
    131  
    132 Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not  
    133 covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of running a  
    134 program using the Library is not restricted, and output from such a  
    135 program is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the  
    136 Library (independent of the use of the Library in a tool for writing it).  
    137 Whether that is true depends on what the Library does and what the program  
    138 that uses the Library does. 
    139  
    140 1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Library's complete  
    141 source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you  
    142 conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate  
    143 copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the notices  
    144 that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty; and  
    145 distribute a copy of this License along with the Library. 
    146  
    147 You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and you  
    148 may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee. 
    149  
    150 2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Library or any portion of it,  
    151 thus forming a work based on the Library, and copy and distribute such  
    152 modifications or work under the terms of Section 1 above, provided that  
    153 you also meet all of these conditions: 
    154  
    155     * a) The modified work must itself be a software library. 
    156     * b) You must cause the files modified to carry prominent notices  
    157 stating that you changed the files and the date of any change. 
    158     * c) You must cause the whole of the work to be licensed at no charge  
    159 to all third parties under the terms of this License. 
    160     * d) If a facility in the modified Library refers to a function or a  
    161 table of data to be supplied by an application program that uses the  
    162 facility, other than as an argument passed when the facility is invoked,  
    163 then you must make a good faith effort to ensure that, in the event an  
    164 application does not supply such function or table, the facility still  
    165 operates, and performs whatever part of its purpose remains meaningful. 
    166  
    167       (For example, a function in a library to compute square roots has a  
    168 purpose that is entirely well-defined independent of the application.  
    169 Therefore, Subsection 2d requires that any application-supplied function  
    170 or table used by this function must be optional: if the application does  
    171 not supply it, the square root function must still compute square roots.) 
    172  
    173       These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If  
    174 identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Library, and  
    175 can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in themselves,  
    176 then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those sections when you  
    177 distribute them as separate works. But when you distribute the same  
    178 sections as part of a whole which is a work based on the Library, the  
    179 distribution of the whole must be on the terms of this License, whose  
    180 permissions for other licensees extend to the entire whole, and thus to  
    181 each and every part regardless of who wrote it. 
    182  
    183       Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or  
    184 contest your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is  
    185 to exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or  
     127  To protect each distributor, we want to make it very clear that 
     128there is no warranty for the free library.  Also, if the library is 
     129modified by someone else and passed on, the recipients should know 
     130that what they have is not the original version, so that the original 
     131author's reputation will not be affected by problems that might be 
     132introduced by others. 
     133  
     134  Finally, software patents pose a constant threat to the existence of 
     135any free program.  We wish to make sure that a company cannot 
     136effectively restrict the users of a free program by obtaining a 
     137restrictive license from a patent holder.  Therefore, we insist that 
     138any patent license obtained for a version of the library must be 
     139consistent with the full freedom of use specified in this license. 
     140

     142ordinary GNU General Public License.  This license, the GNU Lesser 
     143General Public License, applies to certain designated libraries, and

     145this license for certain libraries in order to permit linking those 
     146libraries into non-free programs.

     149a shared library, the combination of the two is legally speaking a 
     150combined work, a derivative of the original library.  The ordinary 
     151General Public License therefore permits such linking only if the 
     152entire combination fits its criteria of freedom.  The Lesser General 
     153Public License permits more lax criteria for linking other code with 
     154the library. 
     155 
     156  We call this license the "Lesser" General Public License because it 
     157does Less to protect the user's freedom than the ordinary General 
     158Public License.  It also provides other free software developers Less 
     159of an advantage over competing non-free programs.  These disadvantages 
     160are the reason we use the ordinary General Public License for many 
     161libraries.  However, the Lesser license provides advantages in certain 
     162special circumstances. 
     163 
     164  For example, on rare occasions, there may be a special need to 
     165encourage the widest possible use of a certain library, so that it becomes

     200prepared so as to be conveniently linked with application programs 
     201(which use some of those functions and data) to form executables. 
     202 
     203  The "Library", below, refers to any such software library or work 
     204which has been distributed under these terms.  A "work based on the 
     205Library" means either the Library or any derivative work under 
     206copyright law: that is to say, a work containing the Library or a 
     207portion of it, either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated 
     208straightforwardly into another language.  (Hereinafter, translation is 
     209included without limitation in the term "modification".) 
     210 
     211  "Source code" for a work means the preferred form of the work for 
     212making modifications to it.  For a library, complete source code means 
     213all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any associated 
     214interface definition files, plus the scripts used to control compilation 
     215and installation of the library. 
     216 
     217  Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not 
     218covered by this License; they are outside its scope.  The act of 
     219running a program using the Library is not restricted, and output from 
     220such a program is covered only if its contents constitute a work based 
     221on the Library (independent of the use of the Library in a tool for 
     222writing it).  Whether that is true depends on what the Library does 
     223and what the program that uses the Library does. 
     224   
     225  1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Library's 
     226complete source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that 
     227you conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an 
     228appropriate copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact 
     229all the notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any 
     230warranty; and distribute a copy of this License along with the 
     231Library. 
     232 
     233  You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, 
     234and you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a 
     235fee. 
     236  
     237  2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Library or any portion 
     238of it, thus forming a work based on the Library, and copy and 
     239distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1 
     240above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions: 
     241 
     242    a) The modified work must itself be a software library. 
     243 
     244    b) You must cause the files modified to carry prominent notices 
     245    stating that you changed the files and the date of any change. 
     246 
     247    c) You must cause the whole of the work to be licensed at no 
     248    charge to all third parties under the terms of this License. 
     249 
     250    d) If a facility in the modified Library refers to a function or a 
     251    table of data to be supplied by an application program that uses 
     252    the facility, other than as an argument passed when the facility 
     253    is invoked, then you must make a good faith effort to ensure that, 
     254    in the event an application does not supply such function or 
     255    table, the facility still operates, and performs whatever part of 
     256    its purpose remains meaningful. 
     257 
     258    (For example, a function in a library to compute square roots has 
     259    a purpose that is entirely well-defined independent of the 
     260    application.  Therefore, Subsection 2d requires that any 
     261    application-supplied function or table used by this function must 
     262    be optional: if the application does not supply it, the square 
     263    root function must still compute square roots.) 
     264 
     265These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole.  If 
     266identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Library, 
     267and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in 
     268themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those 
     269sections when you distribute them as separate works.  But when you 
     270distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based 
     271on the Library, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of 
     272this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the 
     273entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote 
     274it. 
     275 
     276Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest 
     277your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to 
     278exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or 
    186279collective works based on the Library. 
    187280 
    188 In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Library  
    189 with the Library (or with a work based on the Library) on a volume of a  
    190 storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under the  
    191 scope of this License. 
    192  
    193 3. You may opt to apply the terms of the ordinary GNU General Public  
    194 License instead of this License to a given copy of the Library. To do  
    195 this, you must alter all the notices that refer to this License, so that  
    196 they refer to the ordinary GNU General Public License, version 2, instead  
    197 of to this License. (If a newer version than version 2 of the ordinary GNU  
    198 General Public License has appeared, then you can specify that version  
    199 instead if you wish.) Do not make any other change in these notices. 
    200  
    201 Once this change is made in a given copy, it is irreversible for that  
    202 copy, so the ordinary GNU General Public License applies to all subsequent  
    203 copies and derivative works made from that copy. 
    204  
    205 This option is useful when you wish to copy part of the code of the  
    206 Library into a program that is not a library. 
    207  
    208 4. You may copy and distribute the Library (or a portion or derivative of  
    209 it, under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of  
    210 Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you accompany it with the complete  
    211 corresponding machine-readable source code, which must be distributed  
    212 under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for  
    213 software interchange. 
    214  
    215 If distribution of object code is made by offering access to copy from a  
    216 designated place, then offering equivalent access to copy the source code  
    217 from the same place satisfies the requirement to distribute the source  
    218 code, even though third parties are not compelled to copy the source along  
    219 with the object code. 
    220  
    221 5. A program that contains no derivative of any portion of the Library,  
    222 but is designed to work with the Library by being compiled or linked with  
    223 it, is called a "work that uses the Library". Such a work, in isolation,  
    224 is not a derivative work of the Library, and therefore falls outside the  
    225 scope of this License. 
    226  
    227 However, linking a "work that uses the Library" with the Library creates  
    228 an executable that is a derivative of the Library (because it contains  
    229 portions of the Library), rather than a "work that uses the library". The  
    230 executable is therefore covered by this License. Section 6 states terms  
    231 for distribution of such executables. 
    232  
    233 When a "work that uses the Library" uses material from a header file that  
    234 is part of the Library, the object code for the work may be a derivative  
    235 work of the Library even though the source code is not. Whether this is  
    236 true is especially significant if the work can be linked without the  
    237 Library, or if the work is itself a library. The threshold for this to be  
    238 true is not precisely defined by law. 
    239  
    240 If such an object file uses only numerical parameters, data structure  
    241 layouts and accessors, and small macros and small inline functions (ten  
    242 lines or less in length), then the use of the object file is unrestricted,  
    243 regardless of whether it is legally a derivative work. (Executables  
    244 containing this object code plus portions of the Library will still fall  
    245 under Section 6.) 
    246  
    247 Otherwise, if the work is a derivative of the Library, you may distribute  
    248 the object code for the work under the terms of Section 6. Any executables  
    249 containing that work also fall under Section 6, whether or not they are  
    250 linked directly with the Library itself. 
    251  
    252 6. As an exception to the Sections above, you may also combine or link a  
    253 "work that uses the Library" with the Library to produce a work containing  
    254 portions of the Library, and distribute that work under terms of your  
    255 choice, provided that the terms permit modification of the work for the  
    256 customer's own use and reverse engineering for debugging such  
    257 modifications. 
    258  
    259 You must give prominent notice with each copy of the work that the Library  
    260 is used in it and that the Library and its use are covered by this  
    261 License. You must supply a copy of this License. If the work during  
    262 execution displays copyright notices, you must include the copyright  
    263 notice for the Library among them, as well as a reference directing the  
    264 user to the copy of this License. Also, you must do one of these things: 
    265  
    266     * a) Accompany the work with the complete corresponding  
    267 machine-readable source code for the Library including whatever changes  
    268 were used in the work (which must be distributed under Sections 1 and 2  
    269 above); and, if the work is an executable linked with the Library, with  
    270 the complete machine-readable "work that uses the Library", as object code  
    271 and/or source code, so that the user can modify the Library and then  
    272 relink to produce a modified executable containing the modified Library.  
    273 (It is understood that the user who changes the contents of definitions  
    274 files in the Library will not necessarily be able to recompile the  
    275 application to use the modified definitions.) 
    276     * b) Use a suitable shared library mechanism for linking with the  
    277 Library. A suitable mechanism is one that (1) uses at run time a copy of  
    278 the library already present on the user's computer system, rather than  
    279 copying library functions into the executable, and (2) will operate  
    280 properly with a modified version of the library, if the user installs one,  
    281 as long as the modified version is interface-compatible with the version  
    282 that the work was made with. 
    283     * c) Accompany the work with a written offer, valid for at least three  
    284 years, to give the same user the materials specified in Subsection 6a,  
    285 above, for a charge no more than the cost of performing this distribution. 
    286     * d) If distribution of the work is made by offering access to copy  
    287 from a designated place, offer equivalent access to copy the above  
    288 specified materials from the same place. 
    289 * e) Verify that the user has already received a copy of these materials  
    290 or that you have already sent this user a copy. 
    291  
    292 For an executable, the required form of the "work that uses the Library"  
    293 must include any data and utility programs needed for reproducing the  
    294 executable from it. However, as a special exception, the materials to be  
    295 distributed need not include anything that is normally distributed (in  
    296 either source or binary form) with the major components (compiler, kernel,  
    297 and so on) of the operating system on which the executable runs, unless  
    298 that component itself accompanies the executable. 
    299  
    300 It may happen that this requirement contradicts the license restrictions  
    301 of other proprietary libraries that do not normally accompany the  
    302 operating system. Such a contradiction means you cannot use both them and  
    303 the Library together in an executable that you distribute. 
    304  
    305 7. You may place library facilities that are a work based on the Library  
    306 side-by-side in a single library together with other library facilities  
    307 not covered by this License, and distribute such a combined library,  
    308 provided that the separate distribution of the work based on the Library  
    309 and of the other library facilities is otherwise permitted, and provided  
    310 that you do these two things: 
    311  
    312     * a) Accompany the combined library with a copy of the same work based  
    313 on the Library, uncombined with any other library facilities. This must be  
    314 distributed under the terms of the Sections above. 
    315 * b) Give prominent notice with the combined library of the fact that part  
    316 of it is a work based on the Library, and explaining where to find the  
    317 accompanying uncombined form of the same work. 
    318  
    319 8. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, link with, or distribute the  
    320 Library except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt  
    321 otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense, link with, or distribute the  
    322 Library is void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this  
    323 License. However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you  
    324 under this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such  
    325 parties remain in full compliance. 
    326  
    327 9. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not signed  
    328 it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or distribute  
    329 the Library or its derivative works. These actions are prohibited by law  
    330 if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by modifying or distributing  
    331 the Library (or any work based on the Library), you indicate your  
    332 acceptance of this License to do so, and all its terms and conditions for  
    333 copying, distributing or modifying the Library or works based on it. 
    334  
    335 10. Each time you redistribute the Library (or any work based on the  
    336 Library), the recipient automatically receives a license from the original  
    337 licensor to copy, distribute, link with or modify the Library subject to  
    338 these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further restrictions on  
    339 the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein. You are not  
    340 responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties with this License. 
    341  
    342 11. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent  
    343 infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues),  
    344 conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or  
    345 otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not  
    346 excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot distribute  
    347 so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this License and  
    348 any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you may not  
    349 distribute the Library at all. For example, if a patent license would not  
    350 permit royalty-free redistribution of the Library by all those who receive  
    351 copies directly or indirectly through you, then the only way you could  
    352 satisfy both it and this License would be to refrain entirely from  
    353 distribution of the Library. 
    354  
    355 If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under any  
    356 particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to apply,  
     281In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Library 
     282with the Library (or with a work based on the Library) on a volume of 
     283a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under 
     284the scope of this License. 
     285 
     286  3. You may opt to apply the terms of the ordinary GNU General Public 
     287License instead of this License to a given copy of the Library.  To do 
     288this, you must alter all the notices that refer to this License, so 
     289that they refer to the ordinary GNU General Public License, version 2, 
     290instead of to this License.  (If a newer version than version 2 of the 
     291ordinary GNU General Public License has appeared, then you can specify 
     292that version instead if you wish.)  Do not make any other change in 
     293these notices. 
     294  
     295  Once this change is made in a given copy, it is irreversible for 
     296that copy, so the ordinary GNU General Public License applies to all 
     297subsequent copies and derivative works made from that copy. 
     298 
     299  This option is useful when you wish to copy part of the code of 
     300the Library into a program that is not a library. 
     301 
     302  4. You may copy and distribute the Library (or a portion or 
     303derivative of it, under Section 2) in object code or executable form 
     304under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you accompany 
     305it with the complete corresponding machine-readable source code, which 
     306must be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a 
     307medium customarily used for software interchange. 
     308 
     309  If distribution of object code is made by offering access to copy 
     310from a designated place, then offering equivalent access to copy the 
     311source code from the same place satisfies the requirement to 
     312distribute the source code, even though third parties are not 
     313compelled to copy the source along with the object code. 
     314 
     315  5. A program that contains no derivative of any portion of the 
     316Library, but is designed to work with the Library by being compiled or 
     317linked with it, is called a "work that uses the Library".  Such a 
     318work, in isolation, is not a derivative work of the Library, and 
     319therefore falls outside the scope of this License. 
     320 
     321  However, linking a "work that uses the Library" with the Library 
     322creates an executable that is a derivative of the Library (because it 
     323contains portions of the Library), rather than a "work that uses the 
     324library".  The executable is therefore covered by this License. 
     325Section 6 states terms for distribution of such executables. 
     326 
     327  When a "work that uses the Library" uses material from a header file 
     328that is part of the Library, the object code for the work may be a 
     329derivative work of the Library even though the source code is not. 
     330Whether this is true is especially significant if the work can be 
     331linked without the Library, or if the work is itself a library.  The 
     332threshold for this to be true is not precisely defined by law. 
     333 
     334  If such an object file uses only numerical parameters, data 
     335structure layouts and accessors, and small macros and small inline 
     336functions (ten lines or less in length), then the use of the object 
     337file is unrestricted, regardless of whether it is legally a derivative 
     338work.  (Executables containing this object code plus portions of the 
     339Library will still fall under Section 6.) 
     340 
     341  Otherwise, if the work is a derivative of the Library, you may 
     342distribute the object code for the work under the terms of Section 6. 
     343Any executables containing that work also fall under Section 6, 
     344whether or not they are linked directly with the Library itself. 
     345  
     346  6. As an exception to the Sections above, you may also combine or 
     347link a "work that uses the Library" with the Library to produce a 
     348work containing portions of the Library, and distribute that work 
     349under terms of your choice, provided that the terms permit 
     350modification of the work for the customer's own use and reverse 
     351engineering for debugging such modifications. 
     352 
     353  You must give prominent notice with each copy of the work that the 
     354Library is used in it and that the Library and its use are covered by 
     355this License.  You must supply a copy of this License.  If the work 
     356during execution displays copyright notices, you must include the 
     357copyright notice for the Library among them, as well as a reference 
     358directing the user to the copy of this License.  Also, you must do one 
     359of these things: 
     360 
     361    a) Accompany the work with the complete corresponding 
     362    machine-readable source code for the Library including whatever 
     363    changes were used in the work (which must be distributed under 
     364    Sections 1 and 2 above); and, if the work is an executable linked 
     365    with the Library, with the complete machine-readable "work that 
     366    uses the Library", as object code and/or source code, so that the 
     367    user can modify the Library and then relink to produce a modified 
     368    executable containing the modified Library.  (It is understood 
     369    that the user who changes the contents of definitions files in the 
     370    Library will not necessarily be able to recompile the application 
     371    to use the modified definitions.) 
     372 
     373    b) Use a suitable shared library mechanism for linking with the 
     374    Library.  A suitable mechanism is one that (1) uses at run time a 
     375    copy of the library already present on the user's computer system, 
     376    rather than copying library functions into the executable, and (2) 
     377    will operate properly with a modified version of the library, if 
     378    the user installs one, as long as the modified version is 
     379    interface-compatible with the version that the work was made with. 
     380 
     381    c) Accompany the work with a written offer, valid for at 
     382    least three years, to give the same user the materials 
     383    specified in Subsection 6a, above, for a charge no more 
     384    than the cost of performing this distribution. 
     385 
     386    d) If distribution of the work is made by offering access to copy 
     387    from a designated place, offer equivalent access to copy the above 
     388    specified materials from the same place. 
     389 
     390    e) Verify that the user has already received a copy of these 
     391    materials or that you have already sent this user a copy. 
     392 
     393  For an executable, the required form of the "work that uses the 
     394Library" must include any data and utility programs needed for 
     395reproducing the executable from it.  However, as a special exception, 
     396the materials to be distributed need not include anything that is 
     397normally distributed (in either source or binary form) with the major 
     398components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the operating system on 
     399which the executable runs, unless that component itself accompanies 
     400the executable. 
     401 
     402  It may happen that this requirement contradicts the license 
     403restrictions of other proprietary libraries that do not normally 
     404accompany the operating system.  Such a contradiction means you cannot 
     405use both them and the Library together in an executable that you 
     406distribute. 
     407  
     408  7. You may place library facilities that are a work based on the 
     409Library side-by-side in a single library together with other library 
     410facilities not covered by this License, and distribute such a combined 
     411library, provided that the separate distribution of the work based on 
     412the Library and of the other library facilities is otherwise 
     413permitted, and provided that you do these two things: 
     414 
     415    a) Accompany the combined library with a copy of the same work 
     416    based on the Library, uncombined with any other library 
     417    facilities.  This must be distributed under the terms of the 
     418    Sections above. 
     419 
     420    b) Give prominent notice with the combined library of the fact 
     421    that part of it is a work based on the Library, and explaining 
     422    where to find the accompanying uncombined form of the same work. 
     423 
     424  8. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, link with, or distribute 
     425the Library except as expressly provided under this License.  Any 
     426attempt otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense, link with, or 
     427distribute the Library is void, and will automatically terminate your 
     428rights under this License.  However, parties who have received copies, 
     429or rights, from you under this License will not have their licenses 
     430terminated so long as such parties remain in full compliance. 
     431 
     432  9. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not 
     433signed it.  However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or 
     434distribute the Library or its derivative works.  These actions are 
     435prohibited by law if you do not accept this License.  Therefore, by 
     436modifying or distributing the Library (or any work based on the 
     437Library), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and 
     438all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying 
     439the Library or works based on it. 
     440 
     441  10. Each time you redistribute the Library (or any work based on the 
     442Library), the recipient automatically receives a license from the 
     443original licensor to copy, distribute, link with or modify the Library 
     444subject to these terms and conditions.  You may not impose any further 
     445restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein. 
     446You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties with 
     447this License. 
     448  
     449  11. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent 
     450infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues), 
     451conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or 
     452otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not 
     453excuse you from the conditions of this License.  If you cannot 
     454distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this 
     455License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you 
     456may not distribute the Library at all.  For example, if a patent 
     457license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Library by 
     458all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then 
     459the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to 
     460refrain entirely from distribution of the Library. 
     461 
     462If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under any 
     463particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to apply, 
    357464and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other circumstances. 
    358465 
    359 It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any  
    360 patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any such  
    361 claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the integrity of  
    362 the free software distribution system which is implemented by public  
    363 license practices. Many people have made generous contributions to the  
    364 wide range of software distributed through that system in reliance on  
    365 consistent application of that system; it is up to the author/donor to  
    366 decide if he or she is willing to distribute software through any other  
    367 system and a licensee cannot impose that choice. 
    368  
    369 This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to be a  
    370 consequence of the rest of this License. 
    371  
    372 12. If the distribution and/or use of the Library is restricted in certain  
    373 countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the original  
    374 copyright holder who places the Library under this License may add an  
    375 explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding those countries,  
    376 so that distribution is permitted only in or among countries not thus  
    377 excluded. In such case, this License incorporates the limitation as if  
     466It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any 
     467patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any 
     468such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the 
     469integrity of the free software distribution system which is

     474to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot 
     475impose that choice. 
     476 
     477This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to 
     478be a consequence of the rest of this License. 
     479 
     480  12. If the distribution and/or use of the Library is restricted in 
     481certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the 
     482original copyright holder who places the Library under this License may add 
     483an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding those countries, 
     484so that distribution is permitted only in or among countries not thus 
     485excluded.  In such case, this License incorporates the limitation as if 
    378486written in the body of this License.

    380 13. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions  
    381 of the Lesser General Public License from time to time. Such new versions  
    382 will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail  
    383 to address new problems or concerns. 
    384  
    385 Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Library  
    386 specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and "any  
    387 later version", you have the option of following the terms and conditions  
    388 either of that version or of any later version published by the Free  
    389 Software Foundation. If the Library does not specify a license version  
    390 number, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software  
    391 Foundation. 
    392  
    393 14. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Library into other free  
    394 programs whose distribution conditions are incompatible with these, write  
    395 to the author to ask for permission. For software which is copyrighted by  
    396 the Free Software Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we  
    397 sometimes make exceptions for this. Our decision will be guided by the two  
    398 goals of preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free  
    399 software and of promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally.

     537  If you develop a new library, and you want it to be of the greatest 
     538possible use to the public, we recommend making it free software that 
     539everyone can redistribute and change.  You can do so by permitting 
     540redistribution under these terms (or, alternatively, under the terms of the
