Precautions

Software

Use of the demonstration software developed by Sony Corporation or use of the software with customer developed application software may damage hardware, the application program or the camera. Sony Corporation is not liable for any damages under these conditions.

Operation

Start the camera control software on your computer after you turn on the camera and the image is displayed.

Operation and storage locations

Do not shoot images that are extremely bright (e.g., light sources, the sun, etc.) for long periods of time. Do not use or store the camera in the following extreme conditions:

• Extremely hot or cold places (operating temperature –5 ˚C to +60 ˚C (23 ˚F to 140 ˚F))

• Close to generators of powerful electromagnetic radiation such as radio or TV transmitters

• Where it is subject to fluorescent light reflections

• Where it is subject to unstable (flickering, etc.) lighting conditions

• Where it is subject to strong vibration

• Where it is subject to radiation from laser beams

Care of the unit

Remove dust or dirt on the surface of the lens with a blower (commercially available).

• In case of abnormal operation, contact your authorized Sony dealer or the store where you purchased the product.

Handling precautions

• When handling this unit, be careful not to apply an excessive load to all portions of the unit except for the sheet-metal cover. Otherwise, it may result in a failure.

• This unit is designed to be built in the housing. Therefore, take measures to prevent the unit from receiving the intense light such as sunlight directly from the direction other than the front side. Otherwise, it may cause the image quality degradation.

Phenomena specific to CMOS image sensors

The following phenomena that may appear in images are specific to CMOS image sensors. They do not indicate malfunctions.

Rolling shutter

As CMOS image sensors use shutters that capture images line-by-line, there is a slight time difference between the top and bottom of an image. As a result, images may appear skewed if the camera is moved.

White flecks

Although the CMOS image sensors are produced with high-precision technologies, fine white flecks may be generated on the screen in rare cases, caused by cosmic rays, etc. This is related to the principle of CMOS image sensors and is not a malfunction.

Other

• Design and specifications are subject to change without notice.

• Do not apply excessive voltage. (Use only the specified voltage.) Otherwise, you may get an electric shock or a fire may occur.

• The CMOS image sensor and IC included in this camera may break if exposed to static electricity. When directly handling this camera, wear an antistatic strap, spread a conductive sheet or similar item under your workbench, and take measures to eliminate static electricity.

The white flecks especially tend to be seen in the following cases:

• when operating at a high environmental temperature

• when you have raised the master gain (sensitivity)

• when operating in Slow-Shutter mode

Aliasing

When fine patterns, stripes, or lines are shot, they may appear jagged or flicker.

Notes on incorporating a camera

When incorporating a camera on a device that turns ON/OFF 3 times or more a day on average, please confirm the temperature in the set using communication command 'CAM_TempInq' (VISCA) or 'CAM_Temperature' (PTP). Please release heat until the increased temperature inside the set at the moment the set turns on reduces until it is stable at 12 °C or below.

Phenomena Specific to Lenses

Ghosting

If a strong light source (e.g., the sun) exists near the incidence angle of the lens, bright spots may appear in the image due to diffuse reflection within the lens.

Basic Functions

Overview of Functions

The camera control is performed by VISCA and PTP commands. For the camera control by PTP, refer to "Camera control PTP".

In general

• Power On/Off

Powers the camera on and off.

Although the screen is set non-displayed when the power is off, the camera is able to accept VISCA Command.

• I/F Clear

Clears the Command buffer of the FCB camera.

• Address Set

VISCA is a protocol, which normally supports a daisy

chain of up to seven connected cameras via RS-232C interface. In such cases, the address set command can be used to assign addresses from 1 to 7 to each of the seven cameras, allowing you to control the seven cameras with the same personal computer.

Although the FCB camera does not support direct

connection of cameras in a daisy chain, be sure to use the address set command to set the address whenever a camera is connected for the first time.

• ID Write

Sets the camera ID.

• Mute

Blanks the screen and sends out a synchronizing

signal.

• Lens Initialize

Initializes the zoom and focus of the lens. Even when

power is turned on, it initializes the zoom and the focus.

• APR (Auto Pixel Restoration)

During operation of the FBC camera, the temperature

of the set rises and white flecks may be generated on the CMOS image sensor.

The APR detects and corrects the white flecks,

making them unnoticeable.

The detection function of the APR needs to be done

while white flecks are generating.

If white flecks are not being generated, such as when

the temperature of the camera is not high immediately after the set turns on, previously generated white flecks cannot be detected even if the APR is used. Therefore, please be sure to use the APR while white flecks are generating.

By turning on the APR and turning the power OFF/

ON, white flecks are detected and corrected, and then recorded in the set.

Please be sure to turn "APR" to OFF when the APR

correction is completed. The correction data is maintained even if "APR" is OFF.

Zoom

The FCB camera incorporates a 20× optical zoom lens combined with a digital zoom function; this camera allows you to zoom up to 240×.

• Optical 20×, f = 4.4 mm to 88.4 mm (F 2.0 to F 3.8)

The zoom magnification can be set in the following methods.

Using Standard Mode Using Variable Mode

There are eight levels of zoom speed.

In these standard and variable modes, it is necessary to send Stop Command to stop the zoom operation.

Direct Mode

Setting the zoom position enables quick movement to the designated position.

Digital Zoom

There are three types of zoom modes; OFF, combined mode and separate mode.

Combined Mode

This is the previously existing zoom method. After the optical zoom has reached its

6

maximum level, the camera switches to Digital Zoom Mode.

Separate Mode

In this mode, Optical Zoom and Digital Zoom can be operated separately. You can use digital zoom magnification at any time from within any level of optical magnification.

In the combined mode, the digital zoom range can be set.

Super Resolution Zoom

Through the use of “all pixel super resolution technology” developed by Sony Corporation, this product provides superior images while maintaining the resolution without degrading image quality, even when magnified. By combining with optical zoom 20×, zoom is achieved up to 30× in 4K and 40× in FHD.

About Continuous Zoom Position Reply

With ZoomDirect mode, or when zooming according to a preset, the camera outputs zoom position data when Continues Zoom Position Reply is set to On via a command. Continues Zoom Position Reply: y0 07 04 69 0p 0p 0q 0q 0q 0q FF

pp: D-Zoom Position qqqq: Zoom Position

Focus

Focus has the following modes.

- Normal

Reaches the highest focus speed quickly. Use this when shooting a subject that moves frequently. Usually, this is the most appropriate mode.

- Low

Improves the stability of the focus. When the lighting level is low, the AF function does not take effect, even though the brightness varies, contributing to a stable image.

• Manual Focus Mode

Manual Focus has both a Standard Mode and a

Variable Mode. Standard Mode focuses at a fixed rate of speed. Variable Mode has eight speed levels.

In these standard and variable modes, it is necessary to send Stop Command to stop the zoom operation.

• One Push Trigger Mode

When a Trigger Command is sent, the lens moves to

adjust the focus for the subject. The focus lens then holds that position until the next Trigger Command is input.

• Near Limit

Can be set in a range from 1000 (∞) to F000 (80 mm). Initial setting: B000h (35 cm)

• Spot focus mode

The spot focus mode allows you to focus on a specific

portion of the subject. This mode is used when it is difficult to focus on the subject by using the normal auto focus, and so on. The focusing spot is specified by the area of the entire screen divided into 16-split both vertically and horizontally.

• Auto Focus Mode

The Auto Focus (AF) function automatically adjusts

the focus position to maximise the high frequency content of the picture in a center measurement area, taking into consideration the high luminance and strong contrast components.

The minimum focus distance is 80 mm at the optical

wide end and 800 mm at the optical tele end.

- Normal AF Mode

This is the normal mode for AF operations.

- Interval AF Mode

The mode used for AF movements carried out at particular intervals. The time intervals for AF movements and for the timing of the stops can be set in one-second increments using the Set Time Command. The initial setting for both is set to 5 seconds.

- Zoom Trigger Mode

When zoom position is changed,it becomes AF mode during the pre-set value (initial setting is set to 5 seconds). Then it stops.

• AF Sensitivity

The switching of AF sensitivity can be set.

White Balance (WB)

White Balance has the following modes.

• Auto

This mode computes the white balance value output

using color information from the entire screen. It outputs the proper value using the color temperature radiating from a black subject based on a range of values from 2500K to 7500K.

This mode is the initial setting.

• ATW

Auto Tracing White balance (2000K to 10000K)

• Indoor

3200K Base Mode

• Outdoor

5800K Base Mode

• One Push WB

The One Push White Balance mode is a fixed white

balance mode that may be automatically readjusted only at the request of the user (One Push Trigger), assuming that a white subject, in correct lighting

7

conditions, and occupying more than 1/2 of the image, is submitted to the camera.

One Push White Balance data is lost when the power

is turned off. If the power is turned off, reset One Push White Balance.

• Manual WB

This is a mode that enables you to manually set the

control of R and B gain up to 256 steps.

• Outdoor Auto

This is an auto white balance mode specifically for

outdoors. It allows you to capture images with natural white balance in the morning and evening.

• Sodium Vapor Lamp Auto

This is an auto white balance mode that is compatible

with sodium vapor lamps.

• Sodium Vapor Lamp

This is a fixed white balance mode specifically for

sodium vapor lamps.

• Sodium Vapor Lamp Outdoor Auto

This is an auto white balance mode specifically for

outdoors, which is compatible with sodium vapor lamps.

Note

High-pressure sodium lamps are supported. Proper white balance may not be captured for some subjects when using low-pressure sodium lamps.

Auto Exposure Mode (AE)

A variety of AE functions are available for optimal output of subjects in lighting conditions that range from low to high.

• Full Auto

Iris, Gain and Shutter Speed can be set automatically.

• Gain Limit Setting

The gain limit can be set at Full Auto, Shutter Priority,

Iris Priority, Bright, Spot Exposure and Manual in AE mode. Use this setting when you want to obtain images with a focus on the signal-to-noise ratio.

• Shutter Priority

AE – Shutter Priority

The shutter speed can be set freely by the user to a total of 28 steps – 16 high speeds and 12 low speeds. When the slow shutter is set, the speed can be adjusted according to subject brightness. The picture output is read at a normal rate from the memory. The memory is updated at a low rate from the CMOS. AF following capability is lowered and also the number of frame to be displayed is decreased. In high speed mode, the shutter speed can be set up to 1/10,000s. The iris and gain are set automatically, according to the brightness of the subject.

AE – Bright

The bright control function adjusts both gain and iris using an internal algorithm, according to a brightness level freely set by the user. Exposure is controlled by gain when dark, and by iris when bright. As both gain and iris are fixed, this mode is used when exposing at a fixed camera sensitivity. When switching from Full Auto or Shutter Priority Mode to Bright Mode, the current status will be retained for a short period of time. Only when the AE mode is set to “Full Auto” or “Shutter Priority,” can you switch it to “Bright.”

Controlled by Iris

When switching from the Shutter Priority mode to the Bright mode, the shutter speed set in the Shutter Priority mode is maintained.

Gain Limit Setting

The gain limit can be set at the Full Auto, Shutter Priority and Iris Priority of the Auto Exposure Mode. Use this setting when you want to obtain image in which signal-to-noise ratio is particularly important.

Gain Point Setting

Set the Gain Point in the middle between 0dB and gain limit. The shutter speed can be changed from the point when the set gain value is reached. When you want to obtain the motion-priority image, use this setting.

Spot Exposure Mode

In Full Auto AE, the level for the entire screen is computed and the optimum Auto Iris and Gain levels are determined. In Spot AE, a particular section of the subject can be designated, and then that portion of the image can be weighted and a value is computed so that the Iris and Gain can be optimized to obtain an image. For example, in an image with a lot of movement and with varying levels of brightness, portions without much change can be designated as such a “spot,” and changes to the screen can be minimized in that area. As shown in the diagram below, a range of 16 blocks vertically and 16 blocks horizontally can be designated. The level is calculated by the value of the surrounding blocks (shaded) including the designated center block (black). The range of the Spot AE frame is fixed to 5 blocks vertically and 4 blocks horizontally.

Exposure Compensation

Exposure compensation is a function which offsets the internal reference brightness level used in the AE mode, by steps of 1.5 dB.

High Resolution Mode

This mode enhances edges and produces higher definition images.

Aperture Control

Aperture control is a function which adjusts the edge enhancement of objects in the picture. When it is set to Auto, the adjustment is performed automatically. When it is set to Manual, you can adjust multiple setting items. Sometimes, the noise particle that is generated when the gain is increased becomes noticeable because its edge is enhanced by this function. In this case, lower the edge enhancement level or adjust the edge enhancement amount of noise by “Crispening”.

Setting value

Slow AE (Auto Exposure)

The slow AE Response function allows you to reduce the exposure response speed. Usually the camera is set up so that the optimum exposure can be obtained automatically within about 1 second. However, using the slow AE response function allows you to lengthen the auto exposure response speed from the initial setup speed (01h) to approx. 10 minutes (30h) (at normal shutter speed). For example, with the normal setting (about 1 second), if the headlights of a car are caught by the camera, the camera automatically adjusts the exposure so that it can shoot a high-intensity subject (in this case, the headlights). As a result, images around the headlights, that is, the rest of the subject, except the headlights, becomes relatively dark, and poorly distinguished. However, using the slow AE function means the AE response speed will be slower, and response time will be longer. As a result, even if the camera catches a highintensity subject (e.g., the headlights) for a moment, you can still easily distinguish the portions of the image surrounding the headlights.

Backlight Compensation

When the background of the subject is too bright, or when the subject is too dark due to shooting in the AE mode, back light compensation will make the subject appear clearer.

Visibility Enhancer (VE)

Depending on the imaging scene, the Visibility Enhancer function makes the darker part of a camera image brighter, and automatically correct brightness and contrast to show bright parts clearly.

Defog mode

When the surrounding area of the subject is foggy and low contrast, the defog mode will make the subject appear clearer. You can select four levels for this function: OFF, Low, Middle and High.

Highlight Compensation (HLC)

HLC (highlight correction) is a function to adjust AE and AF, and to perform the masking of light area as required when a high intensity spot light is detected. It allows you to easily read the number of vehicles and number plate in the indoor parking area or in the outdoor during the night.

10

Maximum Shutter Limit

The brighter the object is, the shutter speed will increase. This is the function to set the upper limitation on the shutter speed. This will help to make images smooth with less inconsistent motions when you shoot bright objects.

Grayscale image (256 levels)

Color image

Minimum Shutter Limit

When the subject becomes dark, the shutter speed becomes slow and the gain is increased. This is a function to put a limit on the shutter speed. It prevents the camera shake when you shoot a moving subject in a dark place.

Noise Reduction (NR)

The NR function removes noise (both random and non-random) to provide clearer images. This function has six steps: levels 1 to 5, plus off. The NR effect is applied in levels based on the gain, and this setting value determines the limit of the effect. In bright conditions, changing the NR level will not have an effect. When it is set to level 7Fh, you can set NR of 2D/3D individually.

High Sensitivity Mode

In this mode, the maximum gain increases, enabling to obtain a brighter output even in a darker environment. However, if the gain reaches high level, the image will have a large amount of noise.

Variable Gamma Mode

Standard (00h), straight gamma (01h), 512 pattern (02h) are available for setting.

Binarization process

Note

Flicker on images with color enhancement is not a malfunction of the camera. Flicker can be reduced by setting the threshold level

and the aperture control.

Assign any color

Temperature Reading Function

The conversion value (hex) of the temperature sensor built into to the camera can be read by using a query command. The conversion value has an error of ±3 C, and because the temperature sensor is inside the camera, this value is not the ambient temperature. Use it as a reference value.

Slow Shutter On/Off

When set to “On,” the slow shutter functions automatically when the light darkens. This setting is available only when the AE mode is set to “Full Auto.” The initial setting is “Auto Slow Shutter Off.”

Low-Illumination Chroma Suppress Mode

You can configure a chroma suppress mode for lowillumination conditions. This can be useful when color noise is particularly noticeable in such conditions. Four levels (disabled and three levels) are available for the low-illumination chroma suppress mode.

Gamma Offset

You can set the brightness from –16 (00h) to +64 (40h) in each mode of the variable gamma mode.

Color Enhancement

The shot color image can be output in any two colors in the grayscale image based on the density level (brighter or darker than the threshold value) of the image portion. (The threshold level can be set with an optional level.)

ICR (IR Cut-Removable) Mode

The IR Cut-Filter installed in front of the CMOS image sensor can be engaged or disengaged by the mechanical structure. The sensitivity in the infrared region is increased by disengaging the IR Cut-Filter, allowing the camera to capture the image in darker places. When the auto ICR mode is set to On, the image becomes black and white.

Note

Depending on the information such as brightness, etc., in the On/ Off settings condition, a malfunction may occur when the subjects largely consisting of blue and green colors are taken.

Camera ID

Custom Color Phase

You can configure the color phase. The initial setting 0 degrees (7h) is adjustable between approx. −14 degrees (0h) to +14 degrees (Eh), in 15 increments.

Auto ICR Mode

Auto ICR Mode automatically switches the settings needed for attaching or removing the IR Cut Filter. With a set level of darkness, the IR Cut Filter is automatically disabled (ICR On), and the infrared sensitivity is increased. With a set level of brightness, the IR Cut Filter is automatically enabled (ICR Off). Also, on systems equipped with an IR light, the internal data of the camera is used to make the proper decisions to avoid malfunctions. Auto ICR Mode operates with the AE Full Auto setting.

When Auto Slow Shutter is Off (initial setting)

The ID can be set up to 65,536 (0000h to FFFFh). As this will be memorized in the nonvolatile memory inside, data will be saved.

Picture Effect

It consists of the following function.

• Black & White: Monochrome Image

Image stabilizer

When the image stabilizer function is set to On, you can obtain the image with less screen blur caused by shaking and so on. The correction effect can be achieved at the vibration frequency around 10 Hz. The image stabilizer function uses the digital zoom method. Although there are changes in the angle of view and resolution, the sensitivity is maintained.

Note

The image stabilizer function may not work under the environment of high frequency vibration components. When using the camera under such environment, set the image stabilizer function to Off.

When Auto Slow Shutter is On

"StableZoom"

"StableZoom" is a function to perform correction using the image stabilizer function according to the zoom magnification and zoom the image up to approx. 24× smoothly by combining the optical zoom with the digital zoom. By zooming the image furthermore using the digital zoom, the image is zoomed up to 288×. On the wide side, the image without the deterioration in resolution can be obtained because the digital zoom is not used. On the other hand, the correction effect by the image stabilizer function is maximized on the tele side, reducing the blur. "StableZoom" can be set to On/Off by the register setting.

As with the position preset function, the camera shooting conditions can be stored and recalled. The settings are recalled when the power is turned on.

For setting items, see the “Initial Settings, Custom Preset and Backup” section on page 24.

LR Reverse

This function reverses the video output from the camera horizontally.

Freeze

This function captures an image in the field memory of the camera so that this image can be output continuously.

Because communication inside the camera is based on V cycle, the captured image is always the one 3V to 4Vs after the sending of a Command. Thus, you can not specify a time period after sending EVEN, ODD or a Command.

Using the position preset function, 16 sets of camera shooting conditions can be stored and recalled. This function allows you to achieve the desired status instantly, even without adjusting the following items each time.

User Memory Area

A user area of 16 bytes allows you to write data, such as an ID for each customer, data for each system, and so on, freely.

Note

Rewriting of memory is not unlimited. Be careful to avoid using the memory area for such as unnecessary tasks as rewriting the contents of the memory for every operation.

Placing a dome cover in front of the camera may cause the focal distance of the camera to change. Especially at the Tele end, this effect exceeds the AF range, so focus cannot track, although it responds to changes in this value.

For details, see “Register Setting” on page 55.

Extended mode: 5F

ON/OFF can be set. (initial setting is OFF.) For details, see page 17.

Note

Command List

Overview of VISCA

In VISCA, the device outputting commands, for example, a computer, is called the controller. The device receiving the commands, an FCB camera is called the peripheral device. In VISCA, up to seven peripheral devices like the FCB camera can be connected to one controller using communication conforming to the RS-232C standard. The parameters of RS-232C are as follows.

Communication speed: 9.6 kbps/19.2 kbps/

VISCA packet structure

The basic unit of VISCA communication is called a packet. The first byte of the packet is called the header and comprises the sender’s and receiver’s addresses. For example, the header of the packet sent to the FCB camera assigned address 1 from the controller (address

0) is hexadecimal 81h. The packet sent to the camera assigned address 2 is 82h. In the command list, as the header is 8X, input the address of the camera at X. The header of the reply packet from the camera assigned address 1 is 90h. The packet from the camera assigned address 2 is A0h. Some of the commands for setting cameras can be sent to all devices at one time (broadcast). In the case of broadcast, the header should be hexadecimal 88h. When the terminator is FFh, it signifies the end of the packet.

Responses for commands and inquiries

 Acknowledge message Returned by the FCB camera when it receives a

command. No Acknowledge message is returned for inquiries.

 Completion message Returned by the FCB camera when execution of

commands or inquiries is completed. In the case of inquiry commands, it will contain reply data for the inquiry after the 3rd byte of the packet. If the Acknowledge message is omitted, the socket number will contain 0.

The Acknowledge message is not returned for these commands and inquiries, and only the completion message of socket number 0 is returned.

Command execution cancel

To cancel a command which has already been sent, send the Cancel command as the next command. To cancel one of any two commands which have been sent, use the cancel message.

Cancel Packet Cancel 8X 2Y FF X = 1 to 7: FCB camera address, Y = socket number

Reply Packete Acknowledge X0 4Y FF Completion (Commands) X0 5Y FF Completion (Inquiries) X0 5Y ... FF X = 9 to F: FCB camera address + 8, Y = socket number

 Error message When a command could not be executed or failed,

an error message is returned instead of the Acknowledge message. After an Acknowledge message, an error message may be returned if the process of some command (zoom, etc.) has not been completed. When a inquiry command could not be executed or failed, an error message is returned instead of the completion message.

Error Packet Description

X0 6Y 01 FF Message length error (>14 bytes) X0 6Y 02 FF Syntax Error X0 6Y 03 FF Command buffer full X0 6Y 04 FF Command cancelled X0 6Y 05 FF No socket (to be cancelled) X0 6Y 41 FF Command not executable X = 9 to F: FCB camera address + 8, Y = socket number

An error message will be returned for this command, but this is not a fault. It indicates that the command has been canceled.

Socket number

When command messages are sent to the FCB camera, send the next command message after waiting for the completion message or error message to return. However to deal with advanced uses, the FCB camera has two buffers (memories) for commands, so that up to two commands including the commands currently being executed can be received. When the FCB camera receives commands, it notifies the sender which command buffer was used using the socket number of the Acknowledge message. As the completion message or error message also has a socket number, it indicates which command has ended. Even when two command buffers are being used at any one time, an FCB camera management command and some inquiry messages can be executed.

USB commands for firmware update

Basic specifications of commands and response

■ Communication is performed in units of packets.

■ The packet consists of a header (32 bytes) and body (from 0 byte).

■ Two types of packets in a command and response are defined as described below.

• Command Data transfer of a host to this unit

• Response Data transfer of this unit to a host

• One response packet is necessarily returned to one

command packet. * However, there is no response in a specific

command.

■ Byte array is based on a little-endian format.

■ Description of notation Notation of type uint: Unsigned integer (Does not depend on the

data length.)

Binary: Binary data string

■ Packet structure

The packet consists of a fixed-length (32-byte) header

and size-variable body.

The maximum packet size is prescribed for each

command or during communication parameter setting.

Data array Size [Byte] Type

Packet{ Packet Header Body }

32 Packet Header

n Binary

Command ID

Command packet: Sets the command to be

executed.

Response packet: The same value as the

corresponding command packet is set.

Response ID

Command packet: Fixed to 0x0000. Response packet: ID indicating the processing

result of the corresponding

command For more details, refer to the specifications for each command. (See pages 58 to 62.)

Sequence No.

Command packet: Sequence number unique in all

commands Returned to 1 when an overflow

occurs in the range of 1 to

65536.

Response packet: Returns the sequence number

of the corresponding command

as it is. An error does not especially

occur even when the value of a

sequence number is skipped.

■ Body Data used as each command and response parameter

is stored.

The body varies depending on each command and

response.

■ Packet Header (Common in both a command and response)

Data array Size [Byte] Type

Packet Header{ BodySize Protocol Version Command ID Response ID Sequence No. reserved reserved reserved reserved }

4 uint 2 uint 2 uint 2 uint 2 uint 4 uint 4 uint 4 uint 8 uint

■ Meaning

Body Size

This is the size of a body following a packet header. (The size of a packet header is not contained.)

Protocol Version

This is the version of a communication protocol. Fixed to 0x0100. (The host sets the protocol version contained in firmware data.)

Discriminating the camera mode and updater mode

As described in the section of a UUD Firmware data structure, the USB PID, USB VID, and operating mode of equipment to be updated are described in the UDID chunk of firmware package data. The host to be updated confirms that USB PID and USB VID which acquired a USB descriptor from the unit are contained in the UDID chunk. By the ID operating mode, judge whether the unit is started in a camera mode or updater mode.

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 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 machinereadable 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

72

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 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 an idea of what it does. Copyright (C) yyyy name of author

This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or (at your option) any later version.

This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. See the GNU General Public License for more details.

You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License along with this program; if not, write to the Free Software Foundation, Inc., 51 Franklin Street, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA 02110-1301, USA.

Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.

If the program is interactive, make it output a short notice like this when it starts in an interactive mode: Gnomovision version 69, Copyright (C) year name of author Gnomovision comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type `show w'. This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it under certain conditions; type `show c' for details.

The hypothetical commands `show w' and `show c' should show the appropriate parts of the General Public License. Of course, the commands you use may be called something other than `show w' and `show c'; they could even be mouse-clicks or menu items--whatever suits your program.

You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or your school, if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if necessary.

Here is a sample; alter the names: Yoyodyne, Inc., hereby disclaims all copyright interest in the program `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.

GNU LESSER GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE

Version 2.1, February 1999

Copyright (C) 1991, 1999 Free Software Foundation, Inc. 51 Franklin Street, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA 02110-1301 USA Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.

[This is the first released version of the Lesser GPL. It also counts as the successor of the GNU Library Public License, version 2, hence the version number 2.1.]

Preamble

The licenses for most software are designed to take away your freedom to share and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public Licenses are intended to guarantee your 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 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,

73

and is quite different from the ordinary General Public License. We use this license for certain libraries in order to permit linking those libraries into non-free programs.

When a program is linked with a library, whether statically or using a shared library, the combination of the two is legally speaking a combined work, a derivative of the original library. The ordinary General Public License therefore permits such linking only if the entire combination fits its criteria of freedom. The Lesser General Public License permits more lax criteria for linking other code with the library.

We call this license the "Lesser" General Public License because it does Less to protect the user's freedom than the ordinary General Public License. It also provides other free software developers Less of an advantage over competing non-free programs. These disadvantages are the reason we use the ordinary General Public License for many libraries. However, the Lesser license provides advantages in certain special circumstances.

For example, on rare occasions, there may be a special need to encourage the widest possible use of a certain library, so that it becomes a de-facto standard. To achieve this, non-free programs must be allowed to use the library. A more frequent case is that a free library does the same job as widely used non-free libraries. In this case, there is little to gain by limiting the free library to free software only, so we use the Lesser General Public License.

In other cases, permission to use a particular library in non-free programs enables a greater number of people to use a large body of free software. For example, permission to use the GNU C Library in non-free programs enables many more people to use the whole GNU operating system, as well as its variant, the GNU/Linux operating system. Although the Lesser General Public License is Less protective of the users' freedom, it does ensure that the user of a program that is linked with the Library has the freedom and the wherewithal to run that program using a modified version of the Library.

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 welldefined independent of the application. Therefore, Subsection 2d requires that any applicationsupplied 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 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 machinereadable "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 interface-compatible with the version that the work was made with.

c) Accompany the work with a written offer, valid for at least three years, to give the same user the materials specified in Subsection 6a, above, for a charge no more than the cost of performing this distribution.

d) If distribution of the work is made by offering access to copy from a designated place, offer equivalent access to copy the above specified materials from the same place.

e) Verify that the user has already received a copy of these materials or that you have already sent this user a copy.

For an executable, the required form of the "work that uses the Library" must include any data and utility programs needed for reproducing the executable from it. However, as a special exception, the materials to be distributed need not include anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component itself accompanies the executable.

It may happen that this requirement contradicts the license restrictions of other proprietary libraries that do not normally accompany the operating system. Such a contradiction means you cannot use both them and the Library together in an executable that you distribute.

7. You may place library facilities that are a work based on the Library side-by-side in a single library together with other library facilities not covered by this License, and distribute such a combined library, provided that the separate distribution of the work based on the Library and of the other library facilities is otherwise permitted, and provided that you do these two things:

a) Accompany the combined library with a copy of the same work based on the Library, uncombined with any other library facilities. This must be distributed under the terms of the Sections above.

b) Give prominent notice with the combined library of the fact that part of it is a work based on the Library, and explaining where to find the accompanying uncombined form of the same work.

74

8. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, link with, or distribute the Library except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense, link with, or distribute the Library is void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License. However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such parties remain in full compliance.

9. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or distribute the Library or its derivative works. These actions are prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by modifying or distributing the Library (or any work based on the Library), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying the Library or works based on it.

10. Each time you redistribute the Library (or any work based on the Library), the recipient automatically receives a license from the original licensor to copy, distribute, link with or modify the Library subject to these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein. You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties with this License.

11. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues), conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you may not distribute the Library at all. For example, if a patent license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Library by all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to refrain entirely from distribution of the Library.

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.

one line to give the library's name and an idea of what it does. Copyright (C) year name of author

This library is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the terms of the GNU Lesser General Public License as published by the Free Software Foundation; either version 2.1 of the License, or (at your option) any later version.

This library is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. See the GNU Lesser General Public License for more details.

You should have received a copy of the GNU Lesser General Public License along with this library; if not, write to the Free Software Foundation, Inc., 51 Franklin Street, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA 02110-1301 USA

Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.

You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or your school, if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the library, if necessary. Here is a sample; alter the names:

Yoyodyne, Inc., hereby disclaims all copyright interest in the library `Frob' (a library for tweaking knobs) written by James Random Hacker.
