ANTENNA
Unless your LCD Television is connected to a cable
TV system or to a centralized antenna system, a good
outdoor color TV antenna is recommended for best
performance. However, if you are located in an
exceptionally good signal area that is free from
interference and multiple image ghosts,
an indoor antenna may be sufficient.
LOCATION
Select an area where sunlight or bright indoor
illumination will not fall directly on the picture screen.
Also, be sure that the location selected allows a free
flow of air to and from the perforated back cover of the
set. In order to prevent an internal temperature
increase, maintain a space of 10 cm (4 inches) from the
sides/back of the Television, and 30 cm (12 inches)
from the top of the television to the wall. To avoid
cabinet warping, cabinet color changes, and increased
chance of set failure, do not place the TV where
temperatures can become excessively hot, for
example, in direct sunlight or near a heating appliance,
etc.

violence content is minimal or is depicted appropriately with humor or caricature or in an
unrealistic manner.
8 ans +8 + General - Not recommended for young children - Programming intended for a broad
audience but contains light or occasional violence that could disturb young children.

Reception Problems
IGNITION NOISE:
Black spots or horizontal streaks may appear, picture may flutter or drift.
Usually caused by interference from automobile ignition systems, neon lamps,
electrical drills, and other electrical appliances.
GHOSTS:
Ghosts are caused by the television signal following two paths. One is the
direct path and the other is reflected from tall buildings, hills or some other
objects. Changing the direction or position of the antenna may improve
reception. Ghosting may also be caused by defects in the antenna system such
as unshielded leads or connecting several sets to the same antenna without
using multiple antenna couplers.
SNOW:
If your receiver is located in the fringe area of a television station where the
signal is weak, your picture may be marred by the appearance of small dots.
When the signal is extremely weak, it may be necessary to install a special
antenna to improve the picture.
RADIO FREQUENCY INTERFERENCE:
• RADIO FREQUENCY INTERFERENCE:
The interference produces moving ripples or diagonal streaks, and in some
cases, causes loss of contrast in the picture.
• PREVENTION OF AN OBSTACLE TO RADIO RECEIVERS
This television has been designed pursuant to the FCC class B Rules. This is to prevent a problem to Radio
receivers. If this television causes a problem to Radio receivers, then take the following steps:
- Keep the television away from Radio.
- Adjust Radio antennas in order for the television not to receive interference.
- The antenna cable of Radio should be kept away from the television.
- Use a coaxial cable for antenna.
You can check if this television influences Radio receivers by turning off all other equipment other than the television.
If you find a problem receiving Radio when using the television, check the instructions mentioned above.
BLOCK NOISE (DIGITAL INPUT):
Fuzzy blocks may appear in some area or the whole area of the screen. This is
usually caused by interference from automobile ignition systems, neon lamps,
electrical drills, ghosting of the image and weak signals.
BLACK SCREEN:
When using an antenna, weak signals will display a black screen. It may be
necessary to upgrade your antenna.
Useful Information
NOTE: The TV set can generate sound distortion in external devices such as a radio. Please separate radio
equipment from the TV set to a considerable distance.

2. TV Guide On-Screen
My Guide listings disappeared after a power failure.
You should begin to receive listings again within 24 hours.
A buzzing sound might be heard when the LCD display monitor is turned on in a very quiet room. This is due to the LCD panel
drive circuit when it is functioning. This arching sound is normal and it is not a malfunction.
Some infrared rays are emitted from the LCD display monitor’s panel that might affect other infrared controlling equipment.
When receving still picture signals, (e.g. channel number indication or clock indication) for a while, you can see image-like
when the picture varied. This is not a defect.
The LCD panel is made from glass. Heavy shock on the front panel might damage it.
When the LCD monitor is transported horizontally, the glass panel has the possibility of being broken or increasing the picture
defects. At the time of transportation, horizontal style is prohibited. More-over, please treat the LCD panel with great care
because of a precision apparatus. Please instruct transporters so that it should be put into the packing box at the time
of shipment.(There is a possibility that breakage of the panel or defects will increase.) Rough transportation might cause
damage to the panel and pixel failure.
When a screen is seen at point-blank range, a random fine grain may be visible to a dark part.
Black dots and Bright points may appear on the LCD screen. This is a structural property of the LCD panel and is not
a defect.
If an apparatus (VCR, etc.) antenna line is arranged near the monitor, the image may shake, or disturbance may be
received.
There is some time lag betweeen the picture and the sound. You can see lip motion that is delayed compared to the sound.
Storing the LCD television for a period of more than 2 to 3 months without use might cause an unstable picture when
the set is turned on.
Operating altitude: 800 to 1,114hPa (6,194ft to -2,484ft). Operating temperature: 41 F to 95 F.
Avoid operating the LCD TV below 41 F LCD response speed may slow down when operating at these temperatures.
This is a normal operating characteristic of the LCD monitor.
Storage Altitude: 300 to 1,114hPa (31,912ft to -2,484ft). Storage temperature: 5 F to 140 F.
Frequent use of the Power ON or OFF might trigger the power protection circuit. If the TV does not turn ON, please wait
a little before turning ON again.

End User License Agreement for Operating System Software
The licenses for most software are designed to take away your
freedom to share and change it. By contrast, the GNU General
PublicLicense 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 Library 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

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.

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
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
(Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in the term
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.
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 Program or any
portion of it, thus forming a work based on the Program, 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)
You must cause the modified files to carry prominent
notices stating that you changed the ¿OHV and the date of
any change.
b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that
in whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program
or any part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge
to all third parties under the terms of this License.
c) If the modified program normally reads commands
interactively when run, you must cause it, when started
running for such interactive use in the most ordinary way, to
print or display an announcement including an appropriate
copyright notice and a notice that there is no warranty (or
else, saying that you provide a warranty) and that users may
redistribute the program under these conditions, and telling
the user how to view a copy of this License. ([FHSWLRQ 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
identL¿DEOH 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
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
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
.skrow etarapes sa meht etubirtsid uoy nehw snoitces esoht ot
81
End User License Agreement for Operating System Software
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:
The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work
for making PRGL¿FDWLRQV to it. For an executable work, complete
source code means all the source code for all modules it contains,
plus any associated interface GH¿QLWLRQ ¿OHV 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.
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.
5. 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 Program or its derivative works. These actions
are prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore,
by modifying or distributing the Program (or any work based on
the Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License to
do so, and all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or
modifying the Program or works based on it.
6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based
on the Program), the recipient automatically receives a license
License Agreements
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.
a)
Accompany it with the complete corresponding machinereadable source code, which must be distributed under the
terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily
used for software 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.)
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 torefrain entirely from
distribution of the Program. If any portion of this section is held
invalid or unenforceable underany particular circumstance, the
balance of the section is intended toapply and the section as a
whole is intended to apply in othercircumstances.
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.
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
.emit ot emit morf esneciL cilbuP lareneG eht fo snoisrev wen
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 VSHFL¿HV 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.
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

FITNESS FOR A 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.
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 ¿le 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 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 St, 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:
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 `Gnomovision' (which makes passes at compilers)

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 Library General Public License instead
of this License.

GNU LESSER GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE Version 2.1, February 1999
[This is the ¿UVW 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 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 freedom to share
and change free software--to make sure the software is free for all
its users.
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 ¿UVW 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
modi¿ed 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

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.
Preamble
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 nonfree 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
.seirarbil eerf-non desu ylediw sa boj emas eht seod yrarbil eerf
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 nonfree 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

GNU LESSER GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING,
DISTRIBUTION 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 PRGL¿FDWLRQV and/or translated
84
End User License Agreement for Operating System Software
straightforwardly into another language. (Hereinafter, translation
"Source code" for a work means the preferred form of the work
for making PRGL¿FDWLRQV to it. For a library, complete source code
means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any
associated interface GH¿QLWLRQ ¿OHV 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 LW 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:
E You must cause the files modified to carry prominent
notices stating that you changed the ¿OHV and the date of
any change.
F You must cause the whole of the work to be licensed at no
charge to all third parties under the terms of this License.
G If a facility in the PRGL¿HG 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-de¿Qed 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
These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If
GHQWL¿DEOH 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
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.
In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the
Library with the Library (or with a work based on the LibraU\ on
a volume of a storage or distribution medium does not bring the
other work under the scope of this License.
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
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 in object code or executable
form under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above provided that
you accompany it with the complete corresponding machinereadable 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
¿OH that is part of the Library, the object code for the work may be

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).
It is safest to attach them to the start of each source ¿le to most
effectively convey the exclusion of warranty; and each ¿OH 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
