- the version number 2.1.]
-</PRE>
-
-
-<H2><A NAME="SEC2" HREF="#TOC2">Preamble</A></H2>
-
-<P>
- 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.
-<P>
- 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.
-<P>
- 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.
-<P>
- 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.
-<P>
- 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.
-<P>
- 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.
-<P>
- 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.
-<P>
- 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.
-<P>
- 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.
-<P>
- 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.
-<P>
- 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.
-<P>
- 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.
-<P>
- 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.
-<P>
- 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.
-<P>
- 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.
-<P>
-
-<H2><A NAME="SEC3" HREF="#TOC3">TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION</A></H2>
-
-
-<P>
-<STRONG>0.</STRONG>
-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".
-<P>
- 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.
-<P>
- 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".)
-<P>
- "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.
-<P>
- 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.
-<P>
-<STRONG>1.</STRONG>
-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.
-<P>
- 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.
-<P>
-<STRONG>2.</STRONG>
-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:
-<P>
-<UL>
- <LI><STRONG>a)</STRONG>
- The modified work must itself be a software library.
- <LI><STRONG>b)</STRONG>
- You must cause the files modified to carry prominent notices
- stating that you changed the files and the date of any change.
-
- <LI><STRONG>c)</STRONG>
- You must cause the whole of the work to be licensed at no
- charge to all third parties under the terms of this License.
-
- <LI><STRONG>d)</STRONG>
- 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.
- <P>
- (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.)
- <P>
- 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.
- <P>
- 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.
- <P>
- 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.
-</UL>
-<P>
-<STRONG>3.</STRONG>
-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.
-<P>
- 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.
-<P>
- This option is useful when you wish to copy part of the code of
-the Library into a program that is not a library.
-<P>
-<STRONG>4.</STRONG>
-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.
-<P>
- 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.
-<P>
-<STRONG>5.</STRONG>
-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.
-<P>
- 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.
-<P>
- 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.
-<P>
- 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.)
-<P>
- 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.
-<P>
-<STRONG>6.</STRONG>
-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.
-<P>
- 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:
-<P>
-<UL>
- <LI><STRONG>a)</STRONG> Accompany the work with the complete corresponding
- machine-readable source code for the Library including whatever
- changes were used in the work (which must be distributed under
- Sections 1 and 2 above); and, if the work is an executable linked
- with the Library, with the complete machine-readable "work that
- uses the Library", as object code and/or source code, so that the
- user can modify the Library and then relink to produce a modified
- executable containing the modified Library. (It is understood
- that the user who changes the contents of definitions files in the
- Library will not necessarily be able to recompile the application
- to use the modified definitions.)
-
- <LI><STRONG>b)</STRONG> 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.
-
- <LI><STRONG>c)</STRONG> 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.
-
- <LI><STRONG>d)</STRONG> 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.
-
- <LI><STRONG>e)</STRONG> Verify that the user has already received a copy of these
- materials or that you have already sent this user a copy.
-</UL>
-<P>
- 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.
-<P>
- 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.
-<P>
-<STRONG>7.</STRONG> 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:
-<P>
-<UL>
- <LI><STRONG>a)</STRONG> 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.
-
- <LI><STRONG>b)</STRONG> 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.
-</UL>
-<P>
-<STRONG>8.</STRONG> 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.
-<P>
-<STRONG>9.</STRONG>
-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.
-<P>
-<STRONG>10.</STRONG>
-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.
-<P>
-<STRONG>11.</STRONG>
-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.
-<P>
-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.
-<P>
-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.
-<P>
-This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to
-be a consequence of the rest of this License.
-<P>
-<STRONG>12.</STRONG>
-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.
-<P>
-<STRONG>13.</STRONG>
-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.
-<P>
-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.
-<P>
-<STRONG>14.</STRONG>
-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.
-<P>
-<STRONG>NO WARRANTY</STRONG>
-<P>
-<STRONG>15.</STRONG>
-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.
-<P>
-<STRONG>16.</STRONG>
-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.

- If you develop a new library, and you want it to be of the greatest

+<UL><B>3.1. Application of License.</B> <BR>The Modifications which You create
+ or to which You contribute are governed by the terms of this License,
+ including without limitation Section <B>2.2</B>. The Source Code version of
+ Covered Code may be distributed only under the terms of this License or a
+ future version of this License released under Section <B>6.1</B>, and You must
+ include a copy of this License with every copy of the Source Code You
+ distribute. You may not offer or impose any terms on any Source Code version
+ that alters or restricts the applicable version of this License or the
+ recipients' rights hereunder. However, You may include an additional document
+ offering the additional rights described in Section <B>3.5</B>.
+ <P><B>3.2. Availability of Source Code.</B> <BR>Any Modification which You
+ create or to which You contribute must be made available in Source Code form
+ under the terms of this License either on the same media as an Executable
+ version or via an accepted Electronic Distribution Mechanism to anyone to whom
+ you made an Executable version available; and if made available via Electronic
+ Distribution Mechanism, must remain available for at least twelve (12) months
+ after the date it initially became available, or at least six (6) months after
+ a subsequent version of that particular Modification has been made available
+ to such recipients. You are responsible for ensuring that the Source Code
+ version remains available even if the Electronic Distribution Mechanism is
+ maintained by a third party.
+ <P><B>3.3. Description of Modifications.</B> <BR>You must cause all Covered
+ Code to which You contribute to contain a file documenting the changes You
+ made to create that Covered Code and the date of any change. You must include
+ a prominent statement that the Modification is derived, directly or
+ indirectly, from Original Code provided by the Initial Developer and including
+ the name of the Initial Developer in (a) the Source Code, and (b) in any
+ notice in an Executable version or related documentation in which You describe
+ the origin or ownership of the Covered Code.

+ <UL><B>(a) Third Party Claims</B>. <BR>If Contributor has knowledge that a
+ license under a third party's intellectual property rights is required to
+ exercise the rights granted by such Contributor under Sections 2.1 or 2.2,
+ Contributor must include a text file with the Source Code distribution
+ titled "LEGAL'' which describes the claim and the party making the claim in
+ sufficient detail that a recipient will know whom to contact. If Contributor
+ obtains such knowledge after the Modification is made available as described
+ in Section 3.2, Contributor shall promptly modify the LEGAL file in all
+ copies Contributor makes available thereafter and shall take other steps
+ (such as notifying appropriate mailing lists or newsgroups) reasonably
+ calculated to inform those who received the Covered Code that new knowledge
+ has been obtained.

+ Contributor's original creation(s) and/or Contributor has sufficient rights
+ to grant the rights conveyed by this License.</UL>
+ <P><BR><B>3.5. Required Notices.</B> <BR>You must duplicate the notice in
+ <B>Exhibit A</B> in each file of the Source Code.&nbsp; If it is not possible
+ to put such notice in a particular Source Code file due to its structure, then
+ You must include such notice in a location (such as a relevant directory)
+ where a user would be likely to look for such a notice.&nbsp; If You created
+ one or more Modification(s) You may add your name as a Contributor to the
+ notice described in <B>Exhibit A</B>.&nbsp; You must also duplicate this
+ License in any documentation for the Source Code where You describe
+ recipients' rights or ownership rights relating to Covered Code.&nbsp; You may
+ choose to offer, and to charge a fee for, warranty, support, indemnity or
+ liability obligations to one or more recipients of Covered Code. However, You
+ may do so only on Your own behalf, and not on behalf of the Initial Developer
+ or any Contributor. You must make it absolutely clear than any such warranty,
+ support, indemnity or liability obligation is offered by You alone, and You
+ hereby agree to indemnify the Initial Developer and every Contributor for any
+ liability incurred by the Initial Developer or such Contributor as a result of
+ warranty, support, indemnity or liability terms You offer.
+ <P><B>3.6. Distribution of Executable Versions.</B> <BR>You may distribute
+ Covered Code in Executable form only if the requirements of Section
+ <B>3.1-3.5</B> have been met for that Covered Code, and if You include a
+ notice stating that the Source Code version of the Covered Code is available
+ under the terms of this License, including a description of how and where You
+ have fulfilled the obligations of Section <B>3.2</B>. The notice must be
+ conspicuously included in any notice in an Executable version, related
+ documentation or collateral in which You describe recipients' rights relating
+ to the Covered Code. You may distribute the Executable version of Covered Code
+ or ownership rights under a license of Your choice, which may contain terms
+ different from this License, provided that You are in compliance with the
+ terms of this License and that the license for the Executable version does not
+ attempt to limit or alter the recipient's rights in the Source Code version
+ from the rights set forth in this License. If You distribute the Executable
+ version under a different license You must make it absolutely clear that any
+ terms which differ from this License are offered by You alone, not by the
+ Initial Developer or any Contributor. You hereby agree to indemnify the
+ Initial Developer and every Contributor for any liability incurred by the
+ Initial Developer or such Contributor as a result of any such terms You offer.

+Code.</P></UL><B>4. Inability to Comply Due to Statute or Regulation.</B>
+<UL>If it is impossible for You to comply with any of the terms of this
+ License with respect to some or all of the Covered Code due to statute,
+ judicial order, or regulation then You must: (a) comply with the terms of this
+ License to the maximum extent possible; and (b) describe the limitations and
+ the code they affect. Such description must be included in the LEGAL file
+ described in Section <B>3.4</B> and must be included with all distributions of
+ the Source Code. Except to the extent prohibited by statute or regulation,
+ such description must be sufficiently detailed for a recipient of ordinary
+ skill to be able to understand it.</UL><B>5. Application of this License.</B>

+ (''Netscape'') may publish revised and/or new versions of the License from
+ time to time. Each version will be given a distinguishing version number.
+ <P><B>6.2. Effect of New Versions</B>. <BR>Once Covered Code has been
+ published under a particular version of the License, You may always continue
+ to use it under the terms of that version. You may also choose to use such
+ Covered Code under the terms of any subsequent version of the License
+ published by Netscape. No one other than Netscape has the right to modify the
+ terms applicable to Covered Code created under this License.
+ <P><B>6.3. Derivative Works</B>. <BR>If You create or use a modified version
+ of this License (which you may only do in order to apply it to code which is
+ not already Covered Code governed by this License), You must (a) rename Your
+ license so that the phrases ''Mozilla'', ''MOZILLAPL'', ''MOZPL'',
+ ''Netscape'', "MPL", ''NPL'' or any confusingly similar phrase do not appear
+ in your license (except to note that your license differs from this License)
+ and (b) otherwise make it clear that Your version of the license contains
+ terms which differ from the Mozilla Public License and Netscape Public
+ License. (Filling in the name of the Initial Developer, Original Code or
+ Contributor in the notice described in <B>Exhibit A</B> shall not of
+ themselves be deemed to be modifications of this License.)</P></UL><B>7.
