\section*{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.

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,

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:
 

	
 
\begin{quote}
 
Yoyodyne, Inc., hereby disclaims all copyright interest in the program \\
 
`Gnomovision' (which makes passes at compilers) written by James Hacker. \\

{\bf\large Preamble}

The GNU General Public License is a free, copyleft license for
 
software and other kinds of works.
 

	
 
The licenses for most software and other practical works are designed
 
to take away your freedom to share and change the works.  By contrast,
 
the GNU General Public License is intended to guarantee your freedom to
 
share and change all versions of a program--to make sure it remains free
 
software for all its users.  We, the Free Software Foundation, use the
 
GNU General Public License for most of our software; it applies also to
 
any other work released this way by its authors.  You can apply it to
 
your programs, too.
 

	
 
When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, 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
 
them if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it if you
 
want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it in new
 
free programs, and that you know you can do these things.
 

	
 
To protect your rights, we need to prevent others from denying you
 
these rights or asking you to surrender the rights.  Therefore, you have
 
certain responsibilities if you distribute copies of the software, or if
 
you modify it: responsibilities to respect the freedom of others.
 

	
 
For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether
 
gratis or for a fee, you must pass on to the recipients the same
 
freedoms that you received.  You must make sure that they, too, receive
 
or can get the source code.  And you must show them these terms so they
 
know their rights.
