+\
+ Copyright (C) 1991, 1999 Free Software Foundation, Inc.\

+ 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.\
+\page \
+  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.\
+\page \
+                  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.\
+\page \
+  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.\
+\page \
+  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.\
+\page \
+  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.\
+\page \
+  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.\
+\page \
+  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.\
+\page \
+  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.\
+\
+                     END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS\
+\page \
+           How to Apply These Terms to Your New Libraries\
+\
+  If you develop a new library, and you want it to be of the greatest\
+possible use to the public, we recommend making it free software that\
+everyone can redistribute and change.  You can do so by permitting\
+redistribution under these terms (or, alternatively, under the terms of the\
+ordinary General Public License).\
+\
+  To apply these terms, attach the following notices to the library.  It is\
+safest to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively\
+convey the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least the\
+"copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.\
+\
+    <one line to give the library's name and a brief idea of what it does.>\
+    Copyright (C) <year>  <name of author>\
+\
+    This library is free software; you can redistribute it and/or\
+    modify it under the terms of the GNU Lesser General Public\
+    License as published by the Free Software Foundation; either\
+    version 2.1 of the License, or (at your option) any later version.\
+\
+    This library is distributed in the hope that it will be useful,\
+    but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of\
+    MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.  See the GNU\
+    Lesser General Public License for more details.\
+\
+    You should have received a copy of the GNU Lesser General Public\
+    License along with this library; if not, write to the Free Software\
+    Foundation, Inc., 51 Franklin Street, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA  02110-1301  USA\
+\
+Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.\
+\
+You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or your\
+school, if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the library, if\
+necessary.  Here is a sample; alter the names:\
+\
+  Yoyodyne, Inc., hereby disclaims all copyright interest in the\
+  library `Frob' (a library for tweaking knobs) written by James Random Hacker.\
