Common Public License


      Common Public License Version 0.5

      THE ACCOMPANYING PROGRAM IS PROVIDED UNDER THE TERMS OF THIS
      COMMON PUBLIC LICENSE ("AGREEMENT"). ANY USE, REPRODUCTION OR
      DISTRIBUTION OF THE PROGRAM CONSTITUTES RECIPIENT'S ACCEPTANCE
      OF THIS AGREEMENT.

      1. DEFINITIONS 

      "Contribution" means:

          a) in the case of the initial Contributor, the initial code
          and documentation distributed under this Agreement, and

          b) in the case of each subsequent Contributor:

          i) changes to the Program, and

          ii) additions to the Program;

          where such changes and/or additions to the Program originate
          from and are distributed by that particular Contributor. A
          Contribution 'originates' from a Contributor if it was added
          to the Program by such Contributor itself or anyone acting
          on such Contributor's behalf. Contributions do not include
          additions to the Program which: (i) are separate modules of
          software distributed in conjunction with the Program under
          their own license agreement, and (ii) are not derivative
          works of the Program.

      "Contributor" means any person or entity that distributes the
      Program.

      "Licensed Patents " mean patent claims licensable by a
      Contributor which are necessarily infringed by the use or sale
      of its Contribution alone or when combined with the Program.

      "Program" means the Contributions distributed in accordance with
      this Agreement.

      "Recipient" means anyone who receives the Program under this
      Agreement, including all Contributors.

      2. GRANT OF RIGHTS

          a) Subject to the terms of this Agreement, each Contributor
          hereby grants Recipient a non-exclusive, worldwide,
          royalty-free copyright license to reproduce, prepare
          derivative works of, publicly display, publicly perform,
          distribute and sublicense the Contribution of such
          Contributor, if any, and such derivative works, in source
          code and object code form.

          b) Subject to the terms of this Agreement, each Contributor
          hereby grants Recipient a non-exclusive, worldwide,
          royalty-free patent license under Licensed Patents to make,
          use, sell, offer to sell, import and otherwise transfer the
          Contribution of such Contributor, if any, in source code and
          object code form. This patent license shall apply to the
          combination of the Contribution and the Program if, at the
          time the Contribution is added by the Contributor, such
          addition of the Contribution causes such combination to be
          covered by the Licensed Patents. The patent license shall
          not apply to any other combinations which include the
          Contribution. No hardware per se is licensed hereunder.

          c) Recipient understands that although each Contributor
          grants the licenses to its Contributions set forth herein,
          no assurances are provided by any Contributor that the
          Program does not infringe the patent or other intellectual
          property rights of any other entity.  Each Contributor
          disclaims any liability to Recipient for claims brought by
          any other entity based on infringement of intellectual
          property rights or otherwise. As a condition to exercising
          the rights and licenses granted hereunder, each Recipient
          hereby assumes sole responsibility to secure any other
          intellectual property rights needed, if any. For example, if
          a third party patent license is required to allow Recipient
          to distribute the Program, it is Recipient's responsibility
          to acquire that license before distributing the Program.

          d) Each Contributor represents that to its knowledge it has
          sufficient copyright rights in its Contribution, if any, to
          grant the copyright license set forth in this Agreement.

      3. REQUIREMENTS 

      A Contributor may choose to distribute the Program in object
      code form under its own license agreement, provided that:

          a) it complies with the terms and conditions of this
          Agreement; and

          b) its license agreement:

          i) effectively disclaims on behalf of all Contributors all
          warranties and conditions, express and implied, including
          warranties or conditions of title and non-infringement, and
          implied warranties or conditions of merchantability and
          fitness for a particular purpose;

          ii) effectively excludes on behalf of all Contributors all
          liability for damages, including direct, indirect, special,
          incidental and consequential damages, such as lost profits;

          iii) states that any provisions which differ from this
          Agreement are offered by that Contributor alone and not by
          any other party; and

          iv) states that source code for the Program is available
          from such Contributor, and informs licensees how to obtain
          it in a reasonable manner on or through a medium customarily
          used for software exchange.

      When the Program is made available in source code form:

          a) it must be made available under this Agreement; and

          b) a copy of this Agreement must be included with each copy
          of the Program.

      Contributors may not remove or alter any copyright notices
      contained within the Program.

      Each Contributor must identify itself as the originator of its
      Contribution, if any, in a manner that reasonably allows
      subsequent Recipients to identify the originator of the
      Contribution.

      4. COMMERCIAL DISTRIBUTION 

      Commercial distributors of software may accept certain
      responsibilities with respect to end users, business partners
      and the like. While this license is intended to facilitate the
      commercial use of the Program, the Contributor who includes the
      Program in a commercial product offering should do so in a
      manner which does not create potential liability for other
      Contributors. Therefore, if a Contributor includes the Program
      in a commercial product offering, such Contributor ("Commercial
      Contributor") hereby agrees to defend and indemnify every other
      Contributor ("Indemnified Contributor") against any losses,
      damages and costs (collectively "Losses") arising from claims,
      lawsuits and other legal actions brought by a third party
      against the Indemnified Contributor to the extent caused by the
      acts or omissions of such Commercial Contributor in connection
      with its distribution of the Program in a commercial product
      offering. The obligations in this section do not apply to any
      claims or Losses relating to any actual or alleged intellectual
      property infringement. In order to qualify, an Indemnified
      Contributor must: a) promptly notify the Commercial Contributor
      in writing of such claim, and b) allow the Commercial
      Contributor to control, and cooperate with the Commercial
      Contributor in, the defense and any related settlement
      negotiations. The Indemnified Contributor may participate in any
      such claim at its own expense.

      For example, a Contributor might include the Program in a
      commercial product offering, Product X. That Contributor is then
      a Commercial Contributor. If that Commercial Contributor then
      makes performance claims, or offers warranties related to
      Product X, those performance claims and warranties are such
      Commercial Contributor's responsibility alone. Under this
      section, the Commercial Contributor would have to defend claims
      against the other Contributors related to those performance
      claims and warranties, and if a court requires any other
      Contributor to pay any damages as a result, the Commercial
      Contributor must pay those damages.

      5. NO WARRANTY

      EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT, THE PROGRAM IS
      PROVIDED ON AN "AS IS" BASIS, WITHOUT WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS
      OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED INCLUDING, WITHOUT
      LIMITATION, ANY WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF TITLE,
      NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
      PURPOSE. EACH RECIPIENT IS SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR DETERMINING
      THE APPROPRIATENESS OF USING AND DISTRIBUTING THE PROGRAM AND
      ASSUMES ALL RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH ITS EXERCISE OF RIGHTS UNDER
      THIS AGREEMENT, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE RISKS AND COSTS
      OF PROGRAM ERRORS, COMPLIANCE WITH APPLICABLE LAWS, DAMAGE TO OR
      LOSS OF DATA, PROGRAMS OR EQUIPMENT, AND UNAVAILABILITY OR
      INTERRUPTION OF OPERATIONS.

      6. DISCLAIMER OF LIABILITY 

      EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT, NEITHER
      RECIPIENT NOR ANY CONTRIBUTORS SHALL HAVE ANY LIABILITY FOR ANY
      DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR
      CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES (INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION LOST
      PROFITS), HOWEVER CAUSED AND ON ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY, WHETHER
      IN CONTRACT, STRICT LIABILITY, OR TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE OR
      OTHERWISE) ARISING IN ANY WAY OUT OF THE USE OR DISTRIBUTION OF
      THE PROGRAM OR THE EXERCISE OF ANY RIGHTS GRANTED HEREUNDER,
      EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

      7. GENERAL

      If any provision of this Agreement is invalid or unenforceable
      under applicable law, it shall not affect the validity or
      enforceability of the remainder of the terms of this Agreement,
      and without further action by the parties hereto, such provision
      shall be reformed to the minimum extent necessary to make such
      provision valid and enforceable.

      If Recipient institutes patent litigation against a Contributor
      with respect to a patent applicable to software (including a
      cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit), then any patent
      licenses granted by that Contributor to such Recipient under
      this Agreement shall terminate as of the date such litigation is
      filed. In addition, If Recipient institutes patent litigation
      against any entity (including a cross-claim or counterclaim in a
      lawsuit) alleging that the Program itself (excluding
      combinations of the Program with other software or hardware)
      infringes such Recipient's patent(s), then such Recipient's
      rights granted under Section 2(b) shall terminate as of the date
      such litigation is filed.

      All Recipient's rights under this Agreement shall terminate if
      it fails to comply with any of the material terms or conditions
      of this Agreement and does not cure such failure in a reasonable
      period of time after becoming aware of such noncompliance. If
      all Recipient's rights under this Agreement terminate, Recipient
      agrees to cease use and distribution of the Program as soon as
      reasonably practicable. However, Recipient's obligations under
      this Agreement and any licenses granted by Recipient relating to
      the Program shall continue and survive.

      Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute copies of this
      Agreement, but in order to avoid inconsistency the Agreement is
      copyrighted and may only be modified in the following
      manner. The Agreement Steward reserves the right to publish new
      versions (including revisions) of this Agreement from time to
      time.  No one other than the Agreement Steward has the right to
      modify this Agreement. IBM is the initial Agreement Steward. IBM
      may assign the responsibility to serve as the Agreement Steward
      to a suitable separate entity.  Each new version of the
      Agreement will be given a distinguishing version number. The
      Program (including Contributions) may always be distributed
      subject to the version of the Agreement under which it was
      received. In addition, after a new version of the Agreement is
      published, Contributor may elect to distribute the Program
      (including its Contributions) under the new version.  Except as
      expressly stated in Sections 2(a) and 2(b) above, Recipient
      receives no rights or licenses to the intellectual property of
      any Contributor under this Agreement, whether expressly, by
      implication, estoppel or otherwise. All rights in the Program
      not expressly granted under this Agreement are reserved.

      This Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of New York
      and the intellectual property laws of the United States of
      America. No party to this Agreement will bring a legal action
      under this Agreement more than one year after the cause of
      action arose. Each party waives its rights to a jury trial in
      any resulting litigation.

ZIB Academice License



ZIB ACADEMIC LICENSE

This license for ZIB software is designed to guarantee freedom to share and 
change software for academic use, but restricting commercial firms
from exploiting your knowhow for their benefit. The precise terms and 
conditions for using, copying, distribution, and modification follow. 



Terms and Conditions for Using, Copying, Distribution, and Modification

The "Program" below refers to source, object and executable code, and a 
"work based on the Program" means either the Program or any
derivative work under copyright law: that is a work containing the Program 
or a portion of it, either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated
into another language. Each licensee is addressed as "you". 

1. This license applies to you only if you are a member of a noncommercial 
   and academic institution, e.g., a university. The license expires as
   soon as you are no longer a member of this institution. 
2. Every publication and presentation for which work based on the Program 
   or its output has been used must contain an appropriate citation
   and aknowledgement of the author(s) of the Program. 
3. You may copy and distribute the Program or work based on the Program 
   in source, object, or executable form provided that you also meet
   all of the following conditions: 

   a. You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in whole 
      or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any
      part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge under the terms of
      this License. You must accompany it with this unmodified license text. 

      These requirements apply to the Program or work based on the Program 
      as a whole. If identifiable sections of that work are
      not derived from the Program, and can be reasonably considered 
      independent and separate works in themselves, this License
      does 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 Program, 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. 

   b. You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices stating 
      that you changed the files and the date of any change. 
   c. You must keep track of access to the Program (e.g., similar to the 
      registration procedure at ZIB). 
   d. You must accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable 
      source code. 

      The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for 
      making modifications to it. For an executable work,
      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 
      executable. However, as a special exception, the source code
      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. 

4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program except as 
   expressly provided under this License. Any attempt otherwise to
   copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program 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. 
5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not signed it. 
   However, nothing else grants you permission to use, modify, or
   distribute the Program or its derivative works. These actions are 
   prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by using,
   modifying or distributing the Program (or any work based on the Program), 
   you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so and all its
   terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying the Program 
   or works based on it. 
6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the Program),
   the recipient automatically receives a license from the original
   licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to these terms 
   and conditions. You may not impose any further restrictions on the
   recipient's exercise of the rights granted herein. You are not responsible 
   for enforcing compliance by third parties to this License. 
7. 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. 
8. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other programs whose 
   distribution conditions are different, write to ZIB to ask for permission. 

NO WARRANTY

9. Because the program is licensed free of charge, there is no warranty for 
   the program to the extent permitted by applicable law. The
   copyright holders provide the program "as is" 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 program is
   with you. Should the program prove defective, you assume the cost of all 
   necessary servicing, repair, or correction. 
10.In no event will any copyright holder, or any other party who may modify 
   and/or redistribute the program 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 
   program (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
   program to operate with any other programs), even if such holder or other 
   party has been advised of the possibility of such damages.

The GNU Lesser General Public License


		  GNU LESSER GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
		       Version 2.1, February 1999

 Copyright (C) 1991, 1999 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
     59 Temple Place, Suite 330, Boston, MA  02111-1307  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 copyright the
library, and (2) we offer you this license, which 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.

  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.

  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.

  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.

  We call this license the "Lesser" General Public License because it
does Less to protect the user'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.

  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.

  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.

  Although the Lesser General Public License is Less protective of the
users' 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.

  The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
modification follow.  Pay close attention to the difference between a
"work based on the library" and a "work that uses the library".  The
former contains code derived from the library, whereas the latter must
be combined with the library in order to run.

		  GNU LESSER GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
   TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION

  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 "this License").
Each licensee is addressed as "you".

  A "library" 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.

  The "Library", below, refers to any such software library or work
which has been distributed under these terms.  A "work based on the
Library" 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 "modification".)

  "Source code" 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.

  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.
  
  1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Library'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.

  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.

  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:

    a) The modified work must itself be a software library.

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

    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.

    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.

    (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.)

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.

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.

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.

  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.

  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.

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

  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.

  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.

  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 "work that uses the Library".  Such a
work, in isolation, is not a derivative work of the Library, and
therefore falls outside the scope of this License.

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

  When a "work that uses the Library" 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.

  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.)

  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.

  6. As an exception to the Sections above, you may also combine or
link a "work that uses the Library" 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's own use and reverse
engineering for debugging such modifications.

  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:

    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 "work that
    uses the Library", 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.)

    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'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.

    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.

    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.

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

  For an executable, the required form of the "work that uses the
Library" 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.

  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.

  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:

    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.

    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.

  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.

  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.

  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' exercise of the rights granted herein.
You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties with
this License.

  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.

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.

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.

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

  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.

  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.

Each version is given a distinguishing version number.  If the Library
specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and
"any later version", 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.

  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.

			    NO WARRANTY

  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 "AS IS" 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.

  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.
