CHAPTER 1
Introducing the WPA-1000
This chapter introduces the main applications of the WPA-1000. It also introduces the ways
you can manage the WPA-1000.
1.1 Overview
Multiple meeting participants connect to the WPA-1000 allowing them to take turns giving
presentations without having to change connections to the projector. Meeting participants can
also use the WPA-1000 to connect to the Internet or access the company network.
You can deploy the WPA-1000 in a number of different ways.
• Wireless Direct
• Wireless Indirect
•Wired
1.1.1 Wireless Direct
Meeting participants can access the WPA-1000 (W) via direct wireless connection, as shown
in the next figure. IEEE 802.11b/g standards are supported and wireless connections can be
secured with WEP security. You can also choose to allow users to access the company network
(N) or just access the Internet via the WPA-1000 and a switch (S).

1.3 Good Habits for Managing the WPA-1000
Do the following things regularly to make the WPA-1000 more secure and to manage the
WPA-1000 more effectively.
• Change the passwords and keep a record of the passwords in a safe place. Use a password
that’s not easy to guess and that consists of different types of characters, such as numbers
and letters.
• Configure wireless settings before enabling wireless. Write down the wireless settings.
• Change your wireless settings, such as SSID and WEP key, regularly and keep a record of
them in a safe place. Use settings that are not easy to guess and that consist of different
types of characters, such as numbers and letters.

3.2.1 USB PnS Token
A WPA-1000 USB PnS (Plug and Show) token is a USB storage device (such as a USB
memory stick) containing WPA-1000 utility files. Use a USB PnS token when you don’t want
to install the WPA-1000 utility on a computer but you want to make a presentation via the
WPA-1000 from it. You simply insert the USB storage device into that computer and it can
then connect to the WPA-1000 in order to make a presentation.
Use the USB PnS wizard to create a USB PnS token. The wizard copies a wps.ini file and a
WPA-1000 folder onto the USB storage device. The WPA-1000 folder contains the following
utility files:
• Token.exe • WPA-1000.exe
• ConnectAP.dll • DLCapPP.dll
• uninstall.bat • PseudoWebServer.dll
• VideoDuration.dll • WiFiMan.dll
(Delete these files from your USB storage device if you no longer want it to act as a WPA1000 USB PnS token.)
Follow this procedure to make the token.
1 Select Make PnS Token in the utility control panel menus (see Figure 12 on page 32).
2 Select Next.
Figure 14 USB PnS Token Wizard 1
3 Insert the USB storage device into an available USB port on a computer that is
connecting to the WPA-1000. Then select the Flash Drive (the drive where you inserted
the USB storage device) in the next screen.

4.5.2 Resolutions
Resolution is the number of pixels that the projector is capable of displaying. Pixels are the
individual dots that make up the image on your computer.
SVGA, XGA, and WXGA are the standards of resolution supported by the WPA-1000 at the
time of writing. SVGA and XGA are terms that describe standard (4:3 aspect ratio) resolutions
used by computers and projectors. WXGA is a term that describes widescreen (16:9 aspect
ratio) resolutions used by home cinema projectors.

The total number of pixels a projector can project depends on its resolution. For example, an
SVGA projector can display 480,000 pixels at a time.
Resolution affects how sharp your image is and the compatibility of your projector with your
WPA-1000. If the WPA-1000 is sending a signal to the projector that is XGA, and your
projector has SVGA resolution, there may be display or hardware problems, so it’s best to
select the resolution on the WPA-1000 that your projector supports.

color depth that your projector supports.
The refresh rate is the number of times that the image on the screen is drawn
each second. If your projector has a refresh rate of 72 Hertz (Hz), then it cycles
through all the pixels from top to bottom 72 times a second.
A higher refresh rate reduces screen flicker and reduces eye strain. However, if
you specify a refresh rate that is too high for your projector, you may damage it.
Also, there is a trade-off between refresh rate and resolution. Select the refresh
rate that your projector supports.

4.6.1 Deployment Scenarios
How you configure this screen depends on how you deploy the WPA-1000 in your network.
See Figure 1 on page 21, Figure 2 on page 22 and Figure 3 on page 22 for example
deployments.
The WPA-1000 can act as a DHCP server if you do not already have one in your network. A
DHCP server can assign private IP addresses to connected computers in your network. You
should disable DHCP server functionality on your WPA-1000 if another DHCP server, such as
one at your ISP, assigns IP addresses to computers on your network.
As shown in Figure 2 on page 22, you can also connect to the WPA-1000 via an access point
(A). The AP may have connections to more than one WPA-1000, (W1) and (W2) via a switch
or router (S) as shown in the next example. Once connected to the AP, a user (U) can use
projectors (P1) and (P2), that are connected to (W1) and (W2), without having to join a new
wireless network.

V I cannot access the Internet via the WPA-1000.
1 Check the hardware connections, and make sure the LEDs are behaving as expected. See
the Quick Start Guide and Section 2.1 on page 25.
2 If you are trying to access the Internet wirelessly, make sure your wireless settings are
the same as the settings in the AP through which you are trying to access the Internet.
3 Disconnect all the cables from your device, and reconnect them following the directions
in the Quick Start Guide.
4 Make sure that Gatekeeper is not set to All Block or Internet Only if you are
connecting to the WPA-1000 via a switch - see Section 4.6.3 on page 44.
5 If the problem continues, contact your ISP.
Chapter 5 Troubleshooting
V I cannot access the Internet anymore. I had access to the Internet (with the
WPA-1000), but my Internet connection is not available anymore.
1 Check the WPA-1000’s hardware connections, and make sure the LEDs are behaving as
expected. See the Quick Start Guide and Section 2.1 on page 25.
2 Restart the WPA-1000.

V The Internet connection is slow or intermittent.
1 There might be a lot of traffic on the network. Try closing some programs that use the
Internet, especially peer-to-peer applications.
2 Check the signal strength. If the signal strength is low, try moving the WPA-1000 closer
to the AP if possible, and look around to see if there are any devices that might be
interfering with the wireless network (for example, microwaves, other wireless
networks, and so on).
3 Reboot the WPA-1000.
4 If the problem continues, contact the network administrator or vendor.

APPENDIX B
Setting up Your Computer’s IP
Address
" The purpose of this appendix is to show you how to configure an IP address
on your computer depending on what operating system you have. It does NOT
mean that your WPA-1000 supports all these operating systems. To see what
operating systems your WPA-1000 supports, refer to Chapter 6 on page 59.
All computers must have a 10M or 100M Ethernet adapter card and TCP/IP installed.
Windows 95/98/Me/NT/2000/XP/Vista, Macintosh OS 7 and later operating systems and all
versions of UNIX/LINUX include the software components you need to install and use TCP/
IP on your computer. Windows 3.1 requires the purchase of a third-party TCP/IP application
package.
TCP/IP should already be installed on computers using Windows NT/2000/XP, Macintosh OS
7 and later operating systems.
After the appropriate TCP/IP components are installed, configure the TCP/IP settings in order
to "communicate" with your network.
If you manually assign IP information instead of using dynamic assignment, make sure that
your computers have IP addresses that place them in the same subnet as the WPA-1000’s LAN
port.

Version 2, June 1991
Copyright (C) 1989, 1991 Free Software Foundation, Inc., 59 Temple Place - Suite 330,
Boston, MA 02111-1307, USA
Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this license document, but
changing it is not allowed.
Preamble
The licenses for most software are designed to take away your freedom to share and change it.
By contrast, the GNU General Public License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share
and change free software--to make sure the software is free for all its users. This General
Public License applies to most of the Free Software Foundation's software and to any other
program whose authors commit to using it. (Some other Free Software Foundation software is
covered by the GNU Library General Public License instead.) You can apply it to your
programs, too.
When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not price. Our General Public
Licenses are designed to make sure that you have the freedom to distribute copies of free
software (and charge for this service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it if
you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it in new free programs; and that
you know you can do these things.

Appendix C Open Source Licences
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:
94
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.
WPA-1000 User’s Guide
Page 95
Appendix C Open Source Licences
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
machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be distributed under the terms of
Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or, c)
Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer to distribute corresponding
source code. (This alternative is allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you
received the program in object code or executable form with such an offer, in accord with
Subsection b above.) The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for
making modifications to it. For an executable work, complete source code means all the
source code for all modules it contains, plus any associated interface definition files, plus the
scripts used to control compilation and installation of the executable. However, as a special
exception, the source code distributed need not include anything that is normally distributed
(in either source or binary form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of
the operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component itself accompanies
the executable. If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering access to copy
from a designated place, then offering equivalent access to copy the source code from the
same place counts as distribution of the source code, even though third parties are not
compelled to copy the source along with the object code.

Appendix C Open Source Licences
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.
96
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.
WPA-1000 User’s Guide
Page 97
Appendix C Open Source Licences
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.

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, 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.
98
WPA-1000 User’s Guide

Appendix C Open Source Licences
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.
GNU LESSER GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR
COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION
0. This License Agreement applies to any software library or other program which contains a
notice placed by the copyright holder or other authorized party saying it may be distributed
under the terms of this Lesser General Public License (also called "this License").
Each licensee is addressed as "you".
A "library" means a collection of software functions and/or data prepared so as to be
conveniently linked with application programs (which use some of those functions and data)
to form executables. The "Library", below, refers to any such software library or work which
has been distributed under these terms. A "work based on the Library" means either the
Library or any derivative work under copyright law: that is to say, a work containing the
Library or a portion of it, either verbatim or with 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.
WPA-1000 User’s Guide

Appendix C Open Source Licences
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.
100
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
