             Open Source Used In Cisco MediaSense 11.5(1)                                                                                                                                    4086
 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.
