Unless your Plasma Television is connected to a cable
TV system or to a centralized antenna system, a good
outdoor color TV antenna is recommended
for best

an indoor antenna may be sufficient.

increase, maintain a space of 10 cm (4 inches) from the
sides/back
of the Television, and 30 cm (12 inches)
from the top of the television to the wall. To avoid
cabinet warping, cabinet color changes, and increased
chance of set failure, do not place the TV where
temperatures
can become excessively hot, for
example, in direct sunlight or near a heating appliance,
etc.

RADIUS

The maximum turning radius is 30 (left and right). Do
not place any objects on the path of the TV when turning

Caution
when moving the main unit
As this product is heavy, whenever it is moved, two
people are required to transport it safely. Whenever the
unit is moved it should be lifted forward using the top
and base on both sides of the Television for stability.
When moving the Television, lift the handles (42"
models), support the top frame (55" models) and the
bottom frame as shown below.

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 san 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 9et
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,
tf 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 _icensed for everyone's
free use or not
licensed at all.

TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING,
DISTRtBUTtON AND MODtFICATION
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.

but changing

it is not allowed.

(Hereinafter, translation
is included without _imitation 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
copy of this License along with the Program.

of the Program

a

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.

69

In addition, mere
Program with the
on a volume of a
other work under

aggregation
of another work not based on the
Program (or with a work based on the Program)
storage or distribution medium does not bring the
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
machinereadable source code, which must be distributed
under the
terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily
used for software interchange; or,
b) Accompany
it with a written offer, valid for at least three
years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than
your cost of physically
performing
source distribution,
a
complete
machine-readable
copy of the corresponding
source code, to be distributed under the terms of Sections
1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software
interchange; or,
c)Accompany
it with the information
you received
as to
the offer to distribute
corresponding
source code.
(This
alternative
is allowed onty 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, subticense
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 futl 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.

7O

7. If, as a consequence
of a court judgment or allegation of patent
infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues),
conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement
or otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they
do not excuse you from the conditions
of this License.
If you
cannot distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously
your obligations
under this License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a
consequence you may not distribute the Program at all.
For example, if a patent license would not permit royalty-free
redistribution
of the Program by all those who receive copies
directly or indirectly
through you, then the only way you could
satisfy both it and this License would be torefrain entirely from
distribution of the Program. If any portion of this section is held
invalid or unenforceable
underany particular
circumstance,
the
balance of the section is intended toapply and the section as a
whole is intended to apply in othercircumstances.
It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any
patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of
any such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting
the integrity of the free software
distribution
system, which is
implemented by public license practices.
Many people have made
generous contributions
to the wide range of software distributed
through that system in reliance on consistent application
of that
system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing
to distribute
software through any other system and a licensee
cannot impose that choice.
This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed
to be a consequence of the rest of this License.
8. If the distribution
and/or use of the Program is restricted
in
certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted
interfaces,
the original copyright holder who places the Program under this
License may add an explicit geographical
distribution
limitation
excluding those countries, so that distribution is permitted only in
or among countries not thus excluded.
In such case, this License
incorporates the limitation as if written in the body of this License.
9. The Free Software Foundation
may publish revised and/or
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.

END OF TERMS ANb CONDmONS
How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs
If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the
greatest possibJe 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.

Copyright ©

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. tf 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.

72

February

Inc. 51 Franklin St, Fifth Floor, Boston,

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.
tt also provides
other free
software developers
Less of an advantage over competing nonfree programs.
These disadvantages
are the reason we use the
ordinary
General Public License for many libraries.
However,
the Lesser license
provides
advantages
in certain
special
circumstances.
For example, on rare occasions, there may be a special need to
encourage the widest possible use of a certain library, so that it
becomes a de-facto standard. To achieve this, non-free programs
must be allowed to use the library. A more frequent case is that a
free library does the same job as widely used non-free libraries.
In this case, there is little to gain by limiting the free %rary to free
software only, so we use the Lesser General Public License.
In other cases, permission
to use a particular
library in nonfree programs enables a greater number of people to use a large
body of free software.
For example, permission to use the GNU
C Library in non-free programs enables many more people to use
the whole GNU operating system, as wetl 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,
is included w)thout lim)tation in the term "modification".)

translation

"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 air modu)es it contains, plus any
associated interface definition fibs, 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 outs)de its scope. The act of
running a program using the Library is not restricted, and output
from such a program )s covered only if its contents constitute a
work based on the Library (independent
of the use of the Library
in a toot 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
condRions:
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 welt-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
dentifiable 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 controi the distribution
cotbctive works based on the Library.

of derivative

or

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 Pub}ic 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
machinereadable source code, which must be distributed
under the terms
of Sections
1 and 2 above on a medium customarily
used for
software interchange.
If distribution of object code is made by offering access to copy
from a designated place, then offering equivalent access to copy
the source code from the same place satisfies the requirement
to distribute the source code, even though third parties are not
compelled to copy the source along with the object code,
5. A program that contains no derivative
of any portion of the
Library, but is designed to work with the Library by being compiled
or linked with it, is called a "work that uses the Library".
Such
a work, in )so)at)on, 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 ptus
portions of the Library will still fall under Section 6.)
Otherwise,
{f the
distribute the object
6. Any executables
whether or not they

work is a derivative
of the Library, you may
code for the work under the terms of Section
containing that work also fall under Section 6,
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

73

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
machine-readable
"work that uses the Library", as object
code and/or source code, so that the user can modify the
Library and then retink 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) wilt 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

74

the Sections above.
b) Give prominent notice with the combined library of the fact
that part of it is a work based on the Library, and explaining
where to find the accompanying
uncombined
form of the
same work.
8. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, link with, or distribute
the Library except as expressly
provided under this License.
Any attempt otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense,
link with, or
distribute the Library is void, and will automatically terminate your
rights under this License.
However, parties who have received
copies, or rights, from you under this License
wilt 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 alt 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.
tf 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
believed to be a consequence of the rest of this License.

what

is

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.


Copyright

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 _ater 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 wilt be guided by the two goals of preserving the
free status of atl derivatives of our free software and of promoting
the sharing and reuse of software generally.

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
noticeisfound.
