  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
