2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or  
any portion of it, thus forming a work based on the

you also meet all of these conditions:  
a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent

GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE  
Version 2, June 1991  
Copyright (C) 1989, 1991 Free Software Foundation, Inc.,  
51 Franklin Street, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA 02110-1301 USA  
Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim  
copies of this license document, but changing it is not  
allowed.

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 recipients' exercise of the rights  
granted herein. You are not responsible for enforcing  
compliance by third parties to this License.  
Preamble  
The licenses for most software are designed to take away  
your freedom to share and change it. By contrast, the GNU  
General Public License is intended to guarantee your  
freedom to share and change free software--to make sure  
the software is free for all its users. This General Public  
License applies to most of the Free Software Foundation's  
software and to any other program whose authors commit  
to using it. (Some other Free Software Foundation software  
is covered by the GNU Lesser General Public License  
instead.) 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 this  
service 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 make restrictions that  
forbid anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to  
surrender the rights. These restrictions translate to certain  
responsibilities for you if you distribute copies of the  
software, or if you modify it.  
For example, if you distribute copies of such a program,  
whether gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all  
the rights that you have. 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.  
We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the  
software, and (2) offer you this license which gives you legal  
permission to copy, distribute and/or modify the software.  
Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to  
make certain that everyone understands that there is no  
warranty for this free software. If the software is modified  
by someone else and passed on, we want its recipients to  
know that what they have is not the original, so that any  
problems introduced by others will not reflect on the  
original authors' reputations.  
Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by  
software patents. We wish to avoid the danger that  
redistributors of a free program will individually obtain  
patent licenses, in effect making the program proprietary.  
To prevent this, we have made it clear that any patent must  
be licensed for everyone's free use or not licensed at all.  
The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution  
and modification follow.  
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. 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 Program at all. For example, if a patent  
license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of  
the Program 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 Program.  
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.  
redistribute the program under these conditions, and  
telling the user how to view a copy of this License.  
(Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but  
does not normally print such an announcement, your  
work based on the Program is not required to print an  
announcement.)  
These requirements apply to the modified work 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, 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 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.  
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 Program.  
In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on  
the Program with the Program (or with a work based on the  
Program) on a volume of a storage or distribution medium  
does not bring the other work under the scope of this  
License.  
3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work  
based on it, under Section 2) in object code or  
executable form under the terms of Sections 1 and 2  
above provided that you also do one of the following:  
a) 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  
This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what  
is believed to be a consequence of the rest of this  
License.  
8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is  
restricted in certain countries either by patents or by  
copyrighted interfaces, the original copyright holder  
who places the Program 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.  
9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/  
or new versions of the 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 Program 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 Program does not  
specify a version number of this License, you may  
choose any version ever published by the Free Software  
Foundation.  
10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into  
other free programs whose distribution conditions are  
different, 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.  
interchange; or,  
b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least  
three years, to give any third party, for a charge no  
more than your cost of physically performing source  
distribution, a complete machine-readable copy of  
the corresponding source code, to be distributed  
under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a  
medium customarily used for software interchange;  
or,  
c) Accompany it with the information you received as to  
the offer to distribute corresponding source code.  
(This alternative is allowed only for noncommercial  
distribution and only if you received the program in  
object code or executable form with such an offer, in  
accord with Subsection b above.)  
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.  
If distribution of executable or 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 counts as distribution of the source code, even  
though third parties are not compelled to copy the source  
along with the object code.  
GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE  
TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION  
AND MODIFICATION  
0. This License applies to any program or other work  
which contains a notice placed by the copyright holder  
saying it may be distributed under the terms of this  
General Public License. The "Program", below, refers to  
any such program or work, and a "work based on the  
Program" means either the Program or any derivative  
work under copyright law: that is to say, a work  
containing the Program or a portion of it, either  
verbatim or with modifications and/or translated into  
another language. (Hereinafter, translation is included  
without limitation in the term "modification".) Each  
licensee is addressed as "you".  
Activities other than copying, distribution and  
modification are not covered by this License; they are  
outside its scope. The act of running the Program is not  
restricted, and the output from the Program is covered  
only if its contents constitute a work based on the  
Program (independent of having been made by running  
the Program). Whether that is true depends on what the  
Program does.  
1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the  
Program's 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 give any other recipients  
of the Program a copy of this License along with the  
Program.  
NO WARRANTY  
11. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF  
CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE  
PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY  
APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE  
STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/  
OR OTHER PARTIES 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  
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.  
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.

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.  
12. 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 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.

derived from the library, whereas the latter must be

GNU LESSER GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE  
TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION  
08  
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  
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.  
END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS  
How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs  
If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the  
greatest possible use to the public, the best way to achieve  
this is to make it free software which everyone can  
redistribute and change under these terms.  
To do so, attach the following notices to the program. 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 program's name and a brief idea  
of what it does.>  
Copyright (C) <year> <name of author>  
This program is free software; you can redistribute it  
and/or modify it under the terms of the GNU General  
Public License as published by the Free Software  
Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or (at your  
option) any later version.  
This program 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 General  
Public License for more details.  
You should have received a copy of the GNU General  
Public License along with this program; 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.  
If the program is interactive, make it output a short notice  
like this when it starts in an interactive mode:  
Gnomovision version 69, Copyright (C) year name of  
author  
Gnomovision comes with ABSOLUTELY NO  
WARRANTY; for details type `show w'.  
This is free software, and you are welcome to  
redistribute it under certain conditions; type `show c'  
for details.  
The hypothetical commands `show w' and `show c' should  
show the appropriate parts of the General Public License.  
Of course, the commands you use may be called  
something other than `show w' and `show c'; they could  
even be mouse-clicks or menu items--whatever suits your  
program.  
You should also get your employer (if you work as a  
programmer) or your school, if any, to sign a "copyright  
disclaimer" for the program, if necessary. Here is a sample;  
alter the names:  
Yoyodyne, Inc., hereby disclaims all copyright interest in  
the program  
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.

Ty Coon, President of Vice  
This General Public License does not permit incorporating  
your program into proprietary programs. If your program is  
a subroutine library, you may consider it more useful to  
permit linking proprietary applications with the library. If  
this is what you want to do, use the GNU Lesser General  
Public License instead of this License.  
GNU LESSER GENERAL PUBLICLICENSE  
Version 2.1, February 1999  
Copyright (C) 1991, 1999 Free Software Foundation, Inc.  
51 Franklin Street, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA 02110-1301 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.]  
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  
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  
51  
En  
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.  
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.  
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.  
08  
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.)  
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.  
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.  
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  
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  
POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.  
END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS  
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.>

or modify it under the terms of the GNU Lesser General

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.)  
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.

Condensation  
Cautions on use  
08  
If the player is moved suddenly from a cold place into a  
warm room (in winter, for example) or if the temperature  
in the room in which the player is installed rises suddenly  
due to a heater, etc., water droplets (condensation) may  
form inside (on operating parts and the lens). When  
condensation is present, the player will not operate  
properly and playback is not possible. Let the player stand  
at room temperature for 1 or 2 hours with the power  
turned on (the time depends on the extent of  
Moving the player  
If you need to move this unit, first remove the disc if  
there’s one loaded, and close the disc tray. Next, press  
STANDBY/ON to switch the power to standby,  
checking that the POWER OFF indication on the front  
panel display goes off. Wait at least 10 seconds. Lastly,  
disconnect the power cord.  
condensation). The water droplets will dissipate and  
playback will become possible.  
Never lift or move the unit during playback — discs rotate  
at a high speed and may be damaged.  
Condensation can also occur in the summer if the player  
is exposed to the direct wind from an air-conditioner. If  
this happens, move the player to a different place.  
Place of installation  
Select a stable place near the TV and AV system to which  
the unit is connected.  
Cleaning the player  
Normally, wipe the player with a soft cloth. For tough dirt,  
apply some neutral detergent diluted in 5 to 6 parts water  
to a soft cloth, wring out thoroughly, wipe off the dirt, then  
wipe again with a dry cloth.  
Do not place the player on top of a TV or color monitor.  
Keep it away from cassette decks or other components  
easily affected by magnetism.  
Avoid the following types of places:  
• Places exposed to direct sunlight  
• Humid or poorly ventilated places  
• Extremely hot or cold places  
• Places subject to vibration  
• Dusty places  
Note that getting alcohol, thinner, benzene or insecticide  
on the player could cause the print and coating to peel off.  
Also, avoid leaving rubber or vinyl products in contact  
with the player for long periods of time, as this could  
damage the cabinet.  
When using chemical-impregnated wipes, etc., read the  
wipe’s cautions carefully.  
• Places exposed to soot, steam or heat (in kitchens,  
etc.)  
Unplug the power cord from the power outlet when  
cleaning the player.  
Do not place objects on top  
Do not place objects on top of the player.  
Caution for when the unit is  
installed in a rack with a glass  
door  
Do not obstruct the ventilation  
holes  
Do not use the player on a shaggy rug, bed, or sofa, and  
do not cover the player with a cloth, etc. Doing so will  
prevent heat dissipation and could lead to damage.  
Do not press the OPEN/CLOSE on the remote control  
to open the disc tray while the glass door is closed. The  
door will hamper the movement of the disc tray, and the  
unit could be damaged.  
Keep away from heat  
Do not place the player on top of an amplifier or other  
device generating heat. When installing in a rack, to avoid  
the heat generated by the amplifier and other devices,  
place it on a shelf below the amplifier whenever possible.  
Cleaning the pickup lens  
The player’s lens should not become dirty in normal use,  
but if for some reason it should malfunction due to dust  
or dirt, consult your nearest Pioneer authorized service  
center. Although lens cleaners for players are  
commercially available, we advise against using them  
since some may damage the lens.

Specially shaped discs  
Specially shaped discs (heart-shaped, hexagonal, etc.)  
cannot be used on this player. Never use such discs, as  
they will damage the player.  
Storing discs  
Always store discs in their cases, and place the cases  
vertically, avoiding places exposed to high temperatures  
or humidity, direct sunlight or extremely low  
temperatures.  
Be sure to read the cautions included with the disc.

Condensation on discs  
It may not be possible to play the disc if there are  
fingerprints or dust on it. In this case, using a cleaning  
cloth, etc., to wipe the disc gently from the center toward  
the outer edge. Do not use a dirty cleaning cloth.  
If the disc is moved suddenly from a cold place into a  
warm room (in winter, for example), water droplets  
(condensation) may form on the disc surface. Discs will  
not play properly if there is condensation on them.  
Carefully wipe off the water droplets from the disc surface  
before using the disc.
