Important Information
Disc Precautions
Be Careful of Scratches and Dust
•
BD, DVD and CD discs are sensitive to dust, fingerprints
and especially scratches. A scratched disc may not be able
to be played back. Handle discs with care and store them
in a safe place.
Proper Disc Storage
Place the disc in the center of the

disc upright.
Avoid storing discs in locations
subject to direct sunlight, close to
heating appliances or in locations of
high humidity.
Do not drop discs or subject them to
strong vibrations or impacts.
Avoid storing discs in locations
where there are large amounts of
dust or moisture.
Handling Precautions
•
If the surface is soiled, wipe gently with a soft, damp (water
only) cloth. When wiping discs, always move the cloth from
the center hole toward the outer edge.
Do not use record cleaning sprays, benzene, thinner, static
•
electricity prevention liquids or any other solvent.
Do not touch the surface.
•
Do not stick paper or adhesive labels to the disc.
•
If the playing surface of a disc is soiled or scratched, the
•
Player may decide that the disc is incompatible and eject
the disc tray, or it may fail to play the disc correctly. Wipe
any dirt off the playing surface with a soft cloth.
Cleaning the Pick Up Lens
Never use commercially available cleaning discs. The use
•
of these discs can damage the lens.
Request the nearest service center approved by Pioneer to
•
clean the lens.

zlib
•
This software is based in part on zlib see http://www.
zlib.net for information.
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.
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.
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
files 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. (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
Appendix
53
Page 56
Licenses
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
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 infor mation 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.
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 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.
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
54
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.
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.
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 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 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
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 ‘Gnomovision’ (which makes
passes at compilers) written by James Hacker.

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.
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
Page 57
Licenses
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 nonfree programs.
When a program is linked with a library, whether
statically or using a shared library, the combination
of the two is legally speaking a combined work, a
derivative of the original library. The ordinary General
Public License therefore permits such linking only
if the entire combination fits its criteria of freedom.
The Lesser General Public License permits more lax
criteria for linking other code with the library.
We call this license the “Lesser” General Public
License because it does Less to protect the user’s
freedom than the ordinary General Public License.
It also provides other free software developers Less
of an advantage over competing non-free programs.
These disadvantages are the reason we use the
ordinary General Public License for many libraries.
However, the Lesser license provides advantages in
certain special circumstances.
For example, on rare occasions, there may be a
special need to encourage the widest possible use
of a certain library, so that it becomes a de-facto
standard. To achieve this, non-free programs must be
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
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 run that
program using a modified version of the Library.
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 derived from the library, whereas the
latter must be combined with the library in order to
run.
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
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.
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.
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.)
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
Appendix
55
Page 58
Licenses
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
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.)
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 interfacecompatible 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.
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: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 librar y 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
56
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. 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.
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.
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 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.
