VIEWING
The best picture is seen by sitting directly in front of
the TV and about 10 to 18 feet from the screen.

If the TV’s audio output will be connected to a Hi-Fi
system’s external speakers, the best audio
performance will be obtained by placing the
speakers equidistant from each side of the receiver
cabinet and as close as possible to the height of
the picture screen center. For best stereo
separation, place the external speakers at least
four feet from the side of the TV, place the surround
speakers to the side or behind the viewing area.
Differences in room sizes and acoustical
environments will require some experimentation
with speaker placement for best performance.

Reception Problems

IGNITION NOISE:
Black spots or horizontal streaks may appear, picture may flutter or drift.
Usually caused by interference from automobile ignition systems, neon lamps,
electrical drills, and other electrical appliances.

GHOSTS:
Ghosts are caused by the television signal following two paths. One is the
direct path and the other is reflected from tall buildings, hills or some other
objects. Changing the direction or position of the antenna may improve
reception. Ghosting may also be caused by defects in the antenna system such
as unshielded leads or connecting several sets to the same antenna without
using multiple antenna couplers.

SNOW:
If your receiver is located in the fringe area of a television station where the
signal is weak, your picture may be marred by the appearance of small dots.
When the signal is extremely weak, it may be necessary to install a special
antenna to improve the picture.

Useful Information

RADIO FREQUENCY INTERFERENCE:
• RADIO FREQUENCY INTERFERENCE:
The interference produces moving ripples or diagonal streaks, and in some
cases, causes loss of contrast in the picture.
• PREVENTION OF AN OBSTACLE TO RADIO RECEIVERS
This television has been designed pursuant to the FCC class B Rules. This is to prevent a problem to Radio
receivers. If this television causes a problem to Radio receivers, then take the following steps:
- Keep the television away from Radio.
- Adjust Radio antennas in order for the television not to receive interference.
- The antenna cable of Radio should be kept away from the television.
- Use a coaxial cable for antenna.
You can check if this television influences Radio receivers by turning off all other equipment other than the television.
If you find a problem receiving Radio when using the television, check the instructions mentioned above.

BLOCK NOISE (DIGITAL INPUT):
Fuzzy blocks may appear in some area or the whole area of the screen. This is
usually caused by interference from automobile ignition systems, neon lamps,
electrical drills, ghosting of the image and weak signals.

BLACK SCREEN:
When using an antenna, weak signals will display a black screen. It may be
necessary to upgrade your antenna.

NOTE: The TV set can generate sound distortion in external devices such as a radio. Please separate radio
equipment from the TV set to a considerable distance.

End User License Agreement for HITACHI DTV Software
END USER LICENSE AGREEMENT FOR HITACHI DTV SOFTWARE
IMPORTANT – READ CAREFULLY: This End User License Agreement for
HITACHI DTV Software (this “Agreement”) is a legal agreement between
you (“you” or “your”), in your capacity as the owner of a HITACHI brand
digital television (the “DTV”), and HITACHI America, Ltd., Ubiquitous
Platform System Division ("HITACHI"). By using the DTV or the digital
television software installed on the DTV (the "DTV Software") or any
Upgrade (as defined below, and together with the DTV Software, the
“Software”), you agree to be bound by the terms and conditions of this
Agreement. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THIS LICENSE
AGREEMENT, DO NOT USE THE DTV OR THE DTV SOFTWARE.
1.

VIOLATIONS; INDEMNITY. You understand and agree that your
use of the Software in any manner except as permitted under this
Agreement could constitute a serious crime and could subject you
to damages and an award to HITACHI of attorneys’ fees in
connection with your violation of this Agreement. You further
understand that you may be held legally responsible for any
copyright infringement or other violation of intellectual property
rights caused or facilitated by your failure to abide by the terms of
this Agreement. You agree to defend, indemnify and hold HITACHI
and its parent and affiliate companies harmless from and against
any and all liability resulting from any breach by you of this
Agreement.
INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY. The Software is protected by federal
copyright laws, international copyright treaties and other intellectual
property laws and treaties. The Software is licensed, not sold, to
you. All right, title and interest in and to the Software and any
intellectual property associated therewith, including any
accompanying printed materials, shall belong to HITACHI and its
licensors and suppliers. Except as expressly provided herein,
neither HITACHI nor any of its licensors or suppliers grants to you
under this Agreement any express or implied right in or to any
patents, copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets or other intellectual
property. All right, title and interest in and to the intellectual
property rights associated with any content that is accessible
through use of the Software shall belong to the applicable content
owners and may be protected by copyright or other intellectual
property laws and treaties. This Agreement grants you no rights to
use such content. Any rights of HITACHI not expressly granted to
you hereunder are reserved expressly by Hitachi.
SOFTWARE UPGRADES. In the future, HITACHI may release or
make available one or more upgrades to the DTV Software
(each, an “Upgrade”). You understand and agree that if you decide
to install or use any Upgrade, your installation and use of such
Upgrade and/or any other software or intellectual property
HITACHI may provide in connection therewith shall be governed by
the terms and conditions of this Agreement, except to the extent
that HITACHI provides different or supplementary license terms or
conditions that accompany such Upgrade or other software or
intellectual property. In the event HITACHI provides you with a
“flash card” or other media to effect or facilitate an Upgrade, you
understand and acknowledge that your failure to return such flash
card or other media to HITACHI as HITACHI may require could
result in HITACHI placing your name and your DTV’s serial number
on a “No Further Upgrades” list, which will prohibit you from
receiving any subsequent Upgrades HITACHI may later release or
make available. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE WITH ALL THE TERMS
AND CONDITIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ALL THE TERMS
AND CONDITIONS OF ANY DIFFERENT OR SUPPLEMENTARY
LICENSE THAT MAY ACCOMPANY SUCH UPGRADE, (A) DO NOT
USE ANY HITACHI-PROVIDED FLASH CARD OR OTHER MEDIA,
(B) DO NOT
INSTALL ANY HITACHI-PROVIDED
UPGRADE SOFTWARE ON YOUR DTV, AND (C) PROMPTLY
RETURN SUCH FLASH CARD OR OTHER MEDIA TO HITACHI.

re-export the Software. You specifically agree not to export or reexport the Software: (i) to any country to which the U.S. has
embargoed or restricted the export of goods or services, which
currently include, but are not necessarily limited to Cuba, Iran,
Libya, North Korea, Sudan and Syria, or to any national of any such
country, wherever located, who intends to transmit or transport the
Software back to such country; (ii) to any person or entity who you
know or have reason to know will utilize the Software in the design,
development, or production of nuclear, chemical, or biological
weapons; or (iii) to any person or entity who has been prohibited
from participating in U.S. export transactions by any federal agency
of the U.S. government. You warrant and represent that neither the
U.S. Bureau of Industry and Security nor any other U.S federal
Agency has suspended, revoked, or denied your export privileges.

NO WARRANTIES. The software is provided to you in "as is”
condition and HITACHI makes no warranties of any kind
whatsoever regarding the software and, to the maximum extent
permitted by law, hereby expressly disclaims all warranties of any
kind whatsoever, express or implied, with respect to the software.
All implied warranties, including without limitation, the implied
warranties of non-infringement, merchantability and fitness for a
particular purpose are hereby expressly disclaimed by hitachi to
the maximum extent permitted by law.

applicable law, HITACHI, its licensors, suppliers, parent
companies, affiliates, subsidiaries, employees and agents shall not
under any circumstances be liable to you or any third parties for
any damages of any nature arising in any way from this agreement,

any claims for lost profits, lost good will, lost data, business
interruption, procurement of substitute goods or services, or
expenditures made or committed for in reliance on the continuation
of this agreement, even if advised in advance of the possibility of
such damages.

NO FAILURE OF ESSENTIAL PURPOSE. You agree that neither
HITACHI' S breach of this agreement nor its failure to repair a
defect, error or bug in the software shall constitute a failure of the
essential purpose of this agreement.

developed by the OpenSSL Project, including cryptographic software
written by eric young (the "cryptographic software"). The
cryptographic software is provided by the OpenSSL Project in "as is''
condition and any express or implied warranties, including but not
limited to, the implied warranties of merchantability and fitness for
a particular purpose are hereby expressly disclaimed to the
maximum extent permitted by law. In no event shall the OpenSSL
Project, its contributors, HITACHI or any of its parent or affiliate
companies be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, special,
exemplary, or consequential damages (including, but not limited to,
procurement of substitute goods or services; loss of use, data, or
profits; or business interruption) however caused and on any theory
of liability, whether in contract, strict liability, or tort (including
negligence or otherwise) arising in any way out of the use of the
software or the cryptographic software, even if advised in advance
of the possibility of such damages.

10.

TERMINATION. HITACHI may terminate this Agreement
immediately at any time by providing notice to you.

11.

GOVERNING LAW; SEVERABILITY. This Agreement will be
governed by the laws of the State of New York, and you consent to

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.
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

GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
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.

1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's
source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that
you conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an
appropriate copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep
intact all the notices that refer to this License and to the absence
of any warranty; and give any other recipients of the Program a
copy of this License along with the Program.
You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy,
and you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange
for a fee.
2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any
portion of it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and
copy and distribute such modifications or work under the terms
of Section 1 above, provided that you also meet all of these
conditions:
a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent
notices stating that you changed the ¿OHV 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. ([FHSWLRQ 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.)

License Agreements

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.

(Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in the term
PRGL¿FDWLRQ(DFKOLFHQVHHLVDGGUHVVHGDV\RX
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.

These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If
identL¿DEOH 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.

End User License Agreement for Operating System Software
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 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 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 PRGL¿FDWLRQV to it. For an executable work, complete
source code means all the source code for all modules it contains,
plus any associated interface GH¿QLWLRQ ¿OHV 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.

License Agreements

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 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 VSHFL¿HV a version number of this License which applies
to it and "any later version", you have the option of following the
terms and conditions either of that version or of any later version
published by the Free Software Foundation. If the Program does
not specify a version number of this License, you may choose any
version ever published by the Free Software Foundation.
10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free
programs whose distribution conditions are different, write to the
author to ask for permission. For software which is copyrighted
by the Free Software Foundation, write to the Free Software
Foundation; we sometimes make exceptions for this. Our decision
will be guided by the two goals of preserving the free status of all
derivatives of our free software and of promoting the sharing and
reuse of software generally.

NO WARRANTY
11. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF
CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE PROGRAM,
TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT
WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT
HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE PROGRAM
"AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER
EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED

End User License Agreement for Operating System Software
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.

You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer)
or your school, if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the
program, if necessary. Here is a sample; alter the names:
Yoyodyne, Inc., hereby disclaims all copyright interest in the
program `Gnomovision' (which makes passes at compilers)
written by James Hacker.

Ty Coon, President of Vice
This General Public License does not permit incorporating
your program into proprietary programs. If your program is a
subroutine library, you may consider it more useful to permit
linking proprietary applications with the library. If this is what you
want to do, use the GNU Library General Public License instead
of this License.

END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs
If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the
greatest possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this
is to make it free software which everyone can redistribute and
change under these terms.
To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It is safest
to attach them to the start of each source ¿le 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.

License Agreements

This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or
modify it under the terms of the GNU General Public License
as published by the Free Software Foundation; either version
2 of the License, or (at your option) any later version.
This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful,
but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied
warranty of MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A

You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public
License along with this program; if not, write to the Free
Software Foundation, Inc., 51 Franklin St, Fifth Floor, Boston,
MA 02110-1301 USA
Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and
paper mail.
If the program is interactive, make it output a short notice like this
when it starts in an interactive mode:
Gnomovision version 69, Copyright © year name of author
Gnomovision comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY;
for details type `show w'. This is free software, and you are
welcome to redistribute it under certain conditions; type `show
c' for details.
The hypothetical commands `show w' and `show c' should show
the appropriate parts of the General Public License. Of course,
the commands you use may be called something other than `show
w' and `show c'; they could even be mouse-clicks or menu items-whatever suits your program.

GNU LESSER GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE Version 2.1, February 1999
Copyright © 1991, 1999 Free Software Foundation, Inc. 51 Franklin St, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA 02110-1301 USA
Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
[This is the ¿UVW released version of the Lesser GPL. It also counts as the successor of the GNU Library Public License, version 2, hence
the version number 2.1.]

Preamble
The licenses for most software are designed to take away your
freedom to share and change it. By contrast, the GNU General
Public Licenses are intended to guarantee your freedom to share
and change free software--to make sure the software is free for all
its users.
This license, the Lesser General Public License, applies to some
specially designated software packages--typically libraries--of
the Free Software Foundation and other authors who decide to
use it. You can use it too, but we suggest you ¿UVW 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.

License Agreements

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

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.

The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
PRGL¿FDWLRQ 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.

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
modi¿ed 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.

GNU LESSER GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING,
DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION

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
FRQVLVWHQWZLWKWKHIXOOIUHHGRPRIXVHVSHFL¿HGLQWKLVOLFHQVH
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.

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 PRGL¿FDWLRQV and/or translated

End User License Agreement for Operating System Software
straightforwardly into another language. (Hereinafter, translation
LVLQFOXGHGZLWKRXWOLPLWDWLRQLQWKHWHUPPRGL¿FDWLRQ

to exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or
collective works based on the Library.

"Source code" for a work means the preferred form of the work
for making PRGL¿FDWLRQV to it. For a library, complete source code
means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any
associated interface GH¿QLWLRQ ¿OHV plus the scripts used to control
compilation and installation of the library.

In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the
Library with the Library (or with a work based on the LibraU\ on
a volume of a storage or distribution medium does not bring the
other work under the scope of this License.

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 LW Whether that is true depends on what the
Library does and what the program that uses the Library does.
1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Library's
complete source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided
that you conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy
an appropriate copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep
intact all the notices that refer to this License and to the absence
of any warranty; and distribute a copy of this License along with
the Library.
You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy,
and you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange
for a fee.
2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Library or any
portion of it, thus forming a work based on the Library, and
copy and distribute such modifications or work under the terms
of Section 1 above, provided that you also meet all of these
conditions:
D 7KHPRGL¿HGZRUNPXVWLWVHOIEHDVRIWZDUHOLEUDUy.
E You must cause the files modified to carry prominent
notices stating that you changed the ¿OHV and the date of
any change.
F You must cause the whole of the work to be licensed at no
charge to all third parties under the terms of this License.

These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If
GHQWL¿DEOH 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

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 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 isolation, is not a derivative work of the Library, and
therefore falls outside the scope of this License.
However, linking a "work that uses the Library" with the Library
creates an executable that is a derivative of the Library (because
it contains portions of the Library, rather than a "work that uses
the library". The executable is therefore covered by this License.
Section 6 states terms for distribution of such executables.
When a "work that uses the Library" uses material from a header
¿OH 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

GIf a facility in the PRGL¿HG 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-de¿Qed 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

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

Do not make any other change in these notices.

If such an object file uses only numerical parameters, data

whether or not they are linked directly with the Library itself.

or link a "work that uses the Library" with the Library to produce

the Library" must include any data and utility programs needed
for reproducing the executable from iW However, as a special

If the Library specifies a version number of this License which
applies to it and "any later version", you have the option of
following the terms and conditions either of that version or of
any later version published by the Free Software Foundation.
If the Library does not specify a license version number, you
may choose any version ever published by the Free Software
Foundation.
14. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Library into other free
programs whose distribution conditions are incompatible with
these, write to the author to ask for permission. For software
which is copyrighted by the Free Software Foundation, write to the
Free Software Foundation; we sometimes make exceptions for
this. Our decision will be guided by the two goals of preserving the
free status of all derivatives of our free software and of promoting
the sharing and reuse of software generally.

NO WARRANTY
15. BECAUSE THE LIBRARY IS LICENSED FREE OF
CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE LIBRARY, TO
THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT
WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT
HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE LIBRARY
"AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER
EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED
TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND
FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK
AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE LIBRARY
IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE LIBRARY PROVE DEFECTIVE,
YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING,
REPAIR OR CORRECTION.

Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and
paper mail.
You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer)
or your school, if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the
library, if necessary. Here is a sample; alter the names: Yoyodyne,
Inc., hereby disclaims all copyright interest in the library `Frob' (a
library for tweaking knobs) written by James Random Hacker.

Ty Coon, President of Vice
That's all there is to it!

License Agreements

16. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE
LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING WILL ANY COPYRIGHT
HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR
REDISTRIBUTE THE LIBRARY AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE
LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY GENERAL,
SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES
ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE
LIBRARY (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA
OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES
SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF
THE LIBRARY TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER SOFTWARE),
EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN
ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
How to Apply These Terms to Your New Libraries
If you develop a new library, and you want it to be of the greatest
possible use to the public, we recommend making it free software
that everyone can redistribute and change. You can do so by
permitting redistribution under these terms (or, alternatively, under
the terms of the ordinary General Public License).
To apply these terms, attach the following notices to the library.
It is safest to attach them to the start of each source ¿le to most
effectively convey the exclusion of warranty; and each ¿OH should
have at least the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full
notice is found.
