 Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
7 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
 of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.

			    Preamble
10 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
11 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
  The licenses for most software are designed to take away your
12 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
freedom to share and change it.  By contrast, the GNU General Public
13 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free
14 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
software--to make sure the software is free for all its users.  This
15 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
General Public License applies to most of the Free Software
16 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
Foundation's software and to any other program whose authors commit to
17 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
using it.  (Some other Free Software Foundation software is covered by
18 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
the GNU Lesser General Public License instead.)  You can apply it to
19 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
your programs, too.
20 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
21 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
  When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not
22 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
price.  Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you
23 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for
24 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
this service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it
25 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
if you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it
26 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
in new free programs; and that you know you can do these things.
27 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
28 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
  To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid
29 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights.
30 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you
31 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it.
32 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
33 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
  For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether
34 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that
35 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
you have.  You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the
36 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
source code.  And you must show them these terms so they know their
37 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
rights.
38 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
39 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
  We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and
40 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
(2) offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy,
41 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
distribute and/or modify the software.
42 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
43 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
  Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain
44 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free
45 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
software.  If the software is modified by someone else and passed on, we
46 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so
47 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original
48 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
authors' reputations.
49 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
50 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
  Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software
51 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
patents.  We wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free
52 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
program will individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the
53 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
program proprietary.  To prevent this, we have made it clear that any
54 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
patent must be licensed for everyone's free use or not licensed at all.
55 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
56 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
  The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
57 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
modification follow.
58 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
59 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
		    GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
60 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
   TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION
61 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
62 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
  0. This License applies to any program or other work which contains
63 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed
64 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
under the terms of this General Public License.  The "Program", below,
65 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
refers to any such program or work, and a "work based on the Program"
66 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
means either the Program or any derivative work under copyright law:
67 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
that is to say, a work containing the Program or a portion of it,
68 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated into another
69 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
language.  (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in
70 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
the term "modification".)  Each licensee is addressed as "you".
71 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
72 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not
73 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
covered by this License; they are outside its scope.  The act of
74 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
running the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program
75 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the
76 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
Program (independent of having been made by running the Program).
77 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
Whether that is true depends on what the Program does.
78 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
79 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
  1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's
80 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you
81 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate
82 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the
83 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty;
84 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
and give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License
85 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
along with the Program.
86 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
87 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and
88 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee.
89 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
90 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
  2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion
91 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
of it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and
92 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1
93 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
94 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
95 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
    a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices
96 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
    stating that you changed the files and the date of any change.
97 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
98 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
    b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in
99 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
    whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any
100 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
    part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third
101 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
    parties under the terms of this License.
102 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
103 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
    c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively
104 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
    when run, you must cause it, when started running for such
105 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
    interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an
106 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
    announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a
107 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
    notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide
108 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
    a warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under
109 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
    these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this
110 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
    License.  (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but
111 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
    does not normally print such an announcement, your work based on
112 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
    the Program is not required to print an announcement.)
113 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
114 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole.  If
115 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Program,
116 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in
117 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those
118 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
sections when you distribute them as separate works.  But when you
119 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based
120 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of
121 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the
122 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it.
123 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
124 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest
125 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to
126 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or
127 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
collective works based on the Program.
128 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
129 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program
130 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
with the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of
131 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under
132 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
the scope of this License.
133 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
134 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
  3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it,
135 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of
136 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following:
137 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
138 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
    a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable
139 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
    source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections
140 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
    1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,
141 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
142 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
    b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three
143 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
    years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your
144 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
    cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete
145 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
    machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be
146 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
    distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium
147 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
    customarily used for software interchange; or,
148 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
149 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
    c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer
150 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
    to distribute corresponding source code.  (This alternative is
151 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
    allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you
152 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
    received the program in object code or executable form with such
153 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
    an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.)
154 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
155 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for
156 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
making modifications to it.  For an executable work, complete source
157 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any
158 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to
159 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
control compilation and installation of the executable.  However, as a
160 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
special exception, the source code distributed need not include
161 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary
162 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the
163 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component
164 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
itself accompanies the executable.
165 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
166 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering
167 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent
168 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
access to copy the source code from the same place counts as
169 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
distribution of the source code, even though third parties are not
170 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
compelled to copy the source along with the object code.
171 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
172 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
  4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program
173 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
except as expressly provided under this License.  Any attempt
174 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is
175 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License.
176 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under
177 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such
178 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
parties remain in full compliance.
179 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
180 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
  5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not
181 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
signed it.  However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or
182 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
distribute the Program or its derivative works.  These actions are
183 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
prohibited by law if you do not accept this License.  Therefore, by
184 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
modifying or distributing the Program (or any work based on the
185 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and
186 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying
187 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
the Program or works based on it.
188 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
189 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
  6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the
190 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
Program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the
191 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to
192 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
these terms and conditions.  You may not impose any further
193 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein.
194 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to
195 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
this License.
196 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
197 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
  7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent
198 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues),
199 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
200 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
201 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
excuse you from the conditions of this License.  If you cannot
202 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this
203 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you
204 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
may not distribute the Program at all.  For example, if a patent
205 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by
206 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then
207 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to
208 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
refrain entirely from distribution of the Program.
209 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
210 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under
211 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to
212 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
apply and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other
213 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
circumstances.
214 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
215 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any
216 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any
217 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the
218 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
integrity of the free software distribution system, which is
219 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
implemented by public license practices.  Many people have made
220 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed
221 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
through that system in reliance on consistent application of that
222 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing
223 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot
224 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
impose that choice.
225 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
226 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to
227 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
be a consequence of the rest of this License.
228 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
229 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
  8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in
230 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the
231 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
original copyright holder who places the Program under this License
232 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding
233 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
those countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among
234 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
countries not thus excluded.  In such case, this License incorporates
235 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
the limitation as if written in the body of this License.
236 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
237 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
  9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions
238 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
of the General Public License from time to time.  Such new versions will
239 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to
240 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
address new problems or concerns.
241 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
242 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
Each version is given a distinguishing version number.  If the Program
243 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and "any
244 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
later version", you have the option of following the terms and conditions
245 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
either of that version or of any later version published by the Free
246 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
Software Foundation.  If the Program does not specify a version number of
247 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
this License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software
248 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
Foundation.
249 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
250 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
  10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free
251 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
programs whose distribution conditions are different, write to the author
252 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
to ask for permission.  For software which is copyrighted by the Free
253 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
Software Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes
254 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
make exceptions for this.  Our decision will be guided by the two goals
255 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
of preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and
256 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
of promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally.
257 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
258 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
			    NO WARRANTY
259 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
260 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
  11. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY
261 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.  EXCEPT WHEN
262 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES
263 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED
264 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
265 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.  THE ENTIRE RISK AS
266 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU.  SHOULD THE
267 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING,
268 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
269 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
270 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
  12. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING
271 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR
272 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES,
273 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING
274 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED
275 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY
276 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop

	    How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs
283 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
284 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
  If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest
285 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it
286 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms.
287 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
288 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
  To do so, attach the following notices to the program.  It is safest
289 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively
290 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
convey the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least
291 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.
292 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
293 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
    <one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.>

Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.
311 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
312 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
If the program is interactive, make it output a short notice like this
313 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
when it starts in an interactive mode:
314 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
315 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
    Gnomovision version 69, Copyright (C) year name of author
316 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
    Gnomovision comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type `show w'.
317 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
    This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it
318 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
    under certain conditions; type `show c' for details.
319 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
320 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
The hypothetical commands `show w' and `show c' should show the appropriate
321 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
parts of the General Public License.  Of course, the commands you use may
322 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
be called something other than `show w' and `show c'; they could even be
323 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
mouse-clicks or menu items--whatever suits your program.
324 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
325 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or your
326 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
school, if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if
327 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
necessary.  Here is a sample; alter the names:

This General Public License does not permit incorporating your program into
336 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
proprietary programs.  If your program is a subroutine library, you may
337 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
consider it more useful to permit linking proprietary applications with the
338 e4f08c46 Iustin Pop
library.  If this is what you want to do, use the GNU Lesser General
