CAUTION
You are cautioned that any changes
or modifications not expressly
approved in this manual could void
your authority to operate this
equipment.
This equipment must not be
co-located or operated in conjunction
with any other antenna or
transmitter.
The available scientific evidence
does not show that any health
problems are associated with using
low power wireless devices.
There is no proof, however, that
these low power wireless devices are
absolutely safe. Low power Wireless
devices emit low levels of radio
frequency energy (RF) in the
microwave range while being used.
Whereas high levels of RF can
produce health effects (by heating
tissue), exposure of low-level RF
that does not produce heating effects
causes no known adverse health
effects. Many studies of low-level
RF exposures have not found any
biological effects. Some studies have
suggested that some biological
effects might occur, but such
findings have not been confirmed by
additional research. [Network
Remote Controller (RMN-U1)] has
been tested and found to comply
with FCC radiation exposure limits
set forth for an uncontrolled
environment and meets the FCC
radio frequency (RF) Exposure
Guidelines in Supplement C to
OET65.
For customers in
Canada
This Class B digital apparatus
complies with Canadian ICES-003.
Operation is subject to the following
two conditions:
(1) this device may not cause
interference, and (2) this device must
accept any interference, including
interference that may cause
undesired operation of this device.

•Do not subject the unit to strong
shocks. It may cause the unit to
malfunction.
•Do not exert strong pressure on
the front side of this unit where the
speakers are mounted.
Consideration for others
Keep the volume at a moderate level
out of consideration for your
neighbors, especially at night.
Notice for touch panel
operations on the unit
The touch panel of the remote
control does not work properly when
operated with:
•a gloved finger.
•two or more fingers.
•a finger nail.
•a wet finger.
•a pen, ballpoint pen, pencil, stylus,
etc.
•objects other than a finger.
About lit and unlit dots on the
LCD
You may notice some dots (red, blue,
or green) on the liquid crystal display
that do not turn off or do not turn on
(black dots). These dots do not
represent a malfunction. Because of
the high precision of the technology
used in its manufacture, the LCD
maintains an effective pixel count of
99.99% or more; however, there will
be, on rare occasions, pixels that do
not go on or that remain lit.
Cleaning the cabinet
Clean this unit with a soft cloth
slightly moistened with a mild
detergent solution. Do not use any
type of abrasive pad, scouring
powder, or solvent, such as thinner,
benzine, or alcohol.

Precautions/specifications
Glossary
AAC
Abbreviation for Advanced Audio
Coding. It is a standard for audio file
compression determined by the
MPEG (Motion Picture Experts
Group), an ISO (International
Organization for Standardization)/
IEC (International Electrotechnical
Commission) working group.
DHCP
Abbreviation for Dynamic Host
Configuration Protocol. A system for
automatically allocating
configuration data required for an
Internet connection.
DLNA
Abbreviation for Digital Living
Network Alliance. The DLNA is a
nonprofit organization that
establishes design guidelines for
digital content shared over networks.
For details, see http://www.dlna.org/
en/consumer/home
DNS
Abbreviation for Domain Name
System. A server that translates
domain names to IP addresses, or IP
addresses to domain names. A DNS
is identified by an IP address. Also
called a “DNS server.”
IP address
IP addresses usually comprise four
groups of up to three digits each,
separated by a period (such as
192.168.239.1). All devices on a
network must have an IP address.
LAN
Abbreviation for Local Area
Network.
LAN is a general name for networks
set up for communication among
devices including computers,
printers, and fax machines in
relatively small areas such as offices
or buildings.
MAC address
Abbreviation for Media Access
Control address. It is an
identification name assigned to all
network devices. Each device has its
own address and there are no
duplicate addresses. A MAC address
may be necessary when identifying
the unit separately from other
devices (such as a DLNA server).
Network key (security key)
An encryption key used to limit the
devices with which communication
can occur. It is used to provide
higher security for devices
communicating via a wireless LAN
router/access point.
Proxy
A program or a server that provides
Internet access to computers within a
firewall or quicker downloading of
web pages.
Router
A device that bridges networks,
converting the protocols and
addresses of each network. When
connecting multiple network devices
to the Internet, a router is necessary.
The term “router” by itself may refer
to any of these devices.
SSID
Abbreviation for Service Set
IDentifier. It is a name that identifies
a particular access point within an
IEEE 802.11 wireless LAN. To
connect with an access point, a client
device must be set with the same
SSID. SSIDs can be up to 32
characters long. For higher security,
a network key is normally also used.
In this case, connection cannot occur
unless the SSID matches the network
key.
WEP
Abbreviation for Wired Equivalent
Privacy. An encryption key used in
wireless LAN networks. As an IEEE
standard based on RC4 algorithm
cryptography, WEP is used to secure
IEEE 802.11b wireless networks.
During the transmission of a
message between a wireless LAN
access point and a client device, the
sending side encrypts the data and
the receiving side decrypts it. For
communication to occur, both
devices must use a common code
key, which is called the “WEP key.”
The encryption level is indicated by
the bit count of the key; e.g., 64 bits
or 128 bits. The higher the bit count,
the higher the security level.
WMA
Abbreviation for Windows Media
Audio. WMA is audio compression
technology developed by Microsoft
Corporation that allows audio files to
be compressed to about 1/22 of the
data size of a standard compact disc.
WPA
Abbreviation for Wi-Fi Protected
Access. An encryption standard for
wireless LAN networks created by
the Wi-Fi Alliance to remedy a
number of serious security problems
in the WEP system. In addition to the
network name (SSID) and
encryption key (WEP), this protocol
uses a user authentication framework
called “EAP” (Extensible
Authentication Protocol) and a
protocol called “TKIP” (Temporal
Key Integrity Protocol) which
automatically updates the encryption
code at regular intervals for higher
security.

WPA2
Abbreviation for Wi-Fi Protected
Access 2. An encryption standard for
wireless LAN networks. As an
upgraded version of WPA created by
the Wi-Fi Alliance, this standard
uses AES (Advanced Encryption
Standard) cryptography to provide
stronger security than WPA.
WPS
Abbreviation for Wi-Fi Protected
Setup. A wireless network standard
created by the Wi-Fi Alliance to
allow you to set up a wireless
network easily. A push button
method and a PIN code method are
available.

GNU GENERAL PUBLIC
LICENSE
Version 2, June 1991
Copyright (C) 1989, 1991 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
51 Franklin Street, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA 02110-1301,
USA
Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim
copies of this license document, but changing it is not
allowed.
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 Lesser
General Public License instead.) You can apply it to your
programs, too.
When we speak of free software, we are referring to
freedom, not price. Our General Public Licenses are
designed to make sure that you have the freedom to
distribute copies of free software (and charge for this
service if you wish), that you receive source code or can
get it if you want it, that you can change the software or
use pieces of it in new free programs; and that you know
you can do these things.
To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that
forbid anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to
surrender the rights. These restrictions translate to certain
responsibilities for you if you distribute copies of the
software, or if you modify it.
For example, if you distribute copies of such a program,
whether gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all
the rights that you have. You must make sure that they,
too, receive or can get the source code. And you must
show them these terms so they know their rights.
We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the
software, and (2) offer you this license which gives you
legal permission to copy, distribute and/or modify the
software.
Also, for each author’s protection and ours, we want to
make certain that everyone understands that there is no
warranty for this free software. If the software is modified
by someone else and passed on, we want its recipients to
know that what they have is not the original, so that any
problems introduced by others will not reflect on the
original authors’ reputations.
Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by
software patents. We wish to avoid the danger that
redistributors of a free program will individually obtain
patent licenses, in effect making the program proprietary.
To prevent this, we have made it clear that any patent
must be licensed for everyone’s free use or not licensed at
all.
The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution
and modification follow.
TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR
COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND
MODIFICATION
0. This License applies to any program or other work
which contains a notice placed by the copyright holder
saying it may be distributed under the terms of this
General Public License. The “Program”, below, refers
to any such program or work, and a “work based on the
Program” means either the Program or any derivative
work under copyright law: that is to say, a work
containing the Program or a portion of it, either
verbatim or with modifications and/or translated into
another language. (Hereinafter, translation is included
without limitation in the term “modification”.) Each
licensee is addressed as “you”.
Activities other than copying, distribution and
modification are not covered by this License; they are
outside its scope. The act of running the Program is not
restricted, and the output from the Program is covered
only if its contents constitute a work based on the Program
(independent of having been made by running the
Program). Whether that is true depends on what the
Program does.
1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the
Program’s source code as you receive it, in any
medium, provided that you conspicuously and
appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate
copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep
intact all the notices that refer to this License and to the
absence of any warranty; and give any other recipients
of the Program a copy of this License along with the
Program.
You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a
copy, and you may at your option offer warranty
protection in exchange for a fee.
2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or
any portion of it, thus forming a work based on the
Program, and copy and distribute such modifications or
work under the terms of Section 1 above, provided that
you also meet all of these conditions:
a) You must cause the modified files to carry
prominent notices stating that you changed the files
and the date of any change.
b) You must cause any work that you distribute or
publish, that in whole or in part contains or is
derived from the Program or any part thereof, to be
licensed as a whole at no charge to all third parties
under the terms of this License.
c) If the modified program normally reads commands
interactively when run, you must cause it, when
started running for such interactive use in the most
ordinary way, to print or display an announcement
including an appropriate copyright notice and a
notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that
010COV.book Page 86 Thursday, October 21, 2010 2:24 PM

GB
you provide a warranty) and that users may
redistribute the program under these conditions, and
telling the user how to view a copy of this License.
(Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but
does not normally print such an announcement, your
work based on the Program is not required to print
an announcement.)
These requirements apply to the modified work as a
whole. If identifiable sections of that work are not derived
from the Program, and can be reasonably considered
independent and separate works in themselves, then this
License, and its terms, do not apply to those sections when
you distribute them as separate works. But when you
distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a
work based on the Program, the distribution of the whole
must be on the terms of this License, whose permissions
for other licensees extend to the entire whole, and thus to
each and every part regardless of who wrote it.
Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or
contest your rights to work written entirely by you; rather,
the intent is to exercise the right to control the distribution
of derivative or collective works based on the Program.
In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based
on the Program with the Program (or with a work based on
the Program) on a volume of a storage or distribution
medium does not bring the other work under the scope of
this License.
3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work
based on it, under Section 2) in object code or
executable form under the terms of Sections 1 and 2
above provided that you also do one of the following:
a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding
machine-readable source code, which must be
distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2
above on a medium customarily used for software
interchange; or,
b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least
three years, to give any third party, for a charge no
more than your cost of physically performing source
distribution, a complete machine-readable copy of
the corresponding source code, to be distributed
under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a
medium customarily used for software interchange;
or,
c) Accompany it with the information you received as
to the offer to distribute corresponding source code.
(This alternative is allowed only for noncommercial
distribution and only if you received the program in
object code or executable form with such an offer,
in accord with Subsection b above.)
The source code for a work means the preferred form of
the work for making modifications to it. For an executable
work, complete source code means all the source code for
all modules it contains, plus any associated interface
definition files, plus the scripts used to control
compilation and installation of the executable. However,
as a special exception, the source code distributed need
not include anything that is normally distributed (in either
source or binary form) with the major components
(compiler, kernel, and so on) of the operating system on
which the executable runs, unless that component itself
accompanies the executable.
If distribution of executable or object code is made by
offering access to copy from a designated place, then
offering equivalent access to copy the source code from
the same place counts as distribution of the source code,
even though third parties are not compelled to copy the
source along with the object code.
4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the
Program except as expressly provided under this
License. Any attempt otherwise to copy, modify,
sublicense or distribute the Program is void, and will
automatically terminate your rights under this License.
However, parties who have received copies, or rights,
from you under this License will not have their licenses
terminated so long as such parties remain in full
compliance.
5. You are not required to accept this License, since you
have not signed it. However, nothing else grants you
permission to modify or distribute the Program or its
derivative works. These actions are prohibited by law if
you do not accept this License. Therefore, by
modifying or distributing the Program (or any work
based on the Program), you indicate your acceptance of
this License to do so, and all its terms and conditions
for copying, distributing or modifying the Program or
works based on it.
6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work
based on the Program), the recipient automatically
receives a license from the original licensor to copy,
distribute or modify the Program subject to these terms
and conditions. You may not impose any further
restrictions on the recipients’ exercise of the rights
granted herein.You are not responsible for enforcing
compliance by third parties to this License.
7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation
of patent infringement or for any other reason (not
limited to patent issues), conditions are imposed on you
(whether by court order, agreement or otherwise) that
contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you
cannot distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your
obligations under this License and any other pertinent
obligations, then as a consequence you may not
distribute the Program at all. For example, if a patent
license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of
the Program by all those who receive copies directly or
indirectly through you, then the only way you could
satisfy both it and this License would be to refrain
entirely from distribution of the Program.
If any portion of this section is held invalid or
unenforceable under any particular circumstance, the
balance of the section is intended to apply and the section
as a whole is intended to apply in other circumstances.
It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to
infringe any patents or other property right claims or to
contest validity of any such claims; this section has the
sole purpose of protecting the integrity of the free
software distribution system, which is implemented by
public license practices. Many people have made generous
contributions to the wide range of software distributed
through that system in reliance on consistent application
of that system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he

or she is willing to distribute software through any other
system and a licensee cannot impose that choice.
This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is
believed to be a consequence of the rest of this License.
8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is
restricted in certain countries either by patents or by
copyrighted interfaces, the original copyright holder
who places the Program under this License may add an
explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding
those countries, so that distribution is permitted only in
or among countries not thus excluded. In such case,
this License incorporates the limitation as if written in
the body of this License.
9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised
and/or new versions of the General Public License
from time to time. Such new versions will be similar in
spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to
address new problems or concerns.
Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If
the Program specifies a version number of this License
which applies to it and “any later version”, you have the
option of following the terms and conditions either of that
version or of any later version published by the Free
Software Foundation. If the Program does not specify a
version number of this License, you may choose any
version ever published by the Free Software Foundation.
10.If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into
other free programs whose distribution conditions are
different, write to the author to ask for permission. For
software which is copyrighted by the Free Software
Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we
sometimes make exceptions for this. Our decision will
be guided by the two goals of preserving the free status
of all derivatives of our free software and of promoting
the sharing and reuse of software generally.
NO WARRANTY
11.BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE
OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR
THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED
BY APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN
OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE

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

How to Apply These Terms to Your New
Programs
If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the
greatest possible use to the public, the best way to achieve
this is to make it free software which everyone can
redistribute and change under these terms.
To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It is
safest to attach them to the start of each source file to most
effectively convey the exclusion of warranty; and each file
should have at least the “copyright” line and a pointer to
where the full notice is found.
Copyright (C)
This program is free software; you can redistribute it
and/or modify it under the terms of the GNU General
Public License as published by the Free Software
Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or (at
your option) any later version.
This program is distributed in the hope that it will be
useful, but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without
even the implied warranty of MERCHANTABILITY
or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. See
the GNU General Public License for more details.
You should have received a copy of the GNU General
Public License along with this program; if not, write
to the Free Software Foundation, Inc., 51 Franklin
Street, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA 02110-1301, USA
Also add information on how to contact you by electronic
and paper mail.
If the program is interactive, make it output a short notice
like this when it starts in an interactive mode:
Gnomovision version 69, Copyright (C) year name of
author Gnomovision comes with ABSOLUTELY NO
WARRANTY; for details type `show w’. This is free
software, and you are welcome to redistribute it under
certain conditions; type `show c’ for details.

License. Of course, the commands you use may be called
something other than `show w’ and `show c’; they could
even be mouse-clicks or menu items--whatever suits your
program.
You should also get your employer (if you work as a
programmer) or your school, if any, to sign a “copyright
disclaimer” for the program, if necessary. Here is a
sample; alter the names:

This General Public License does not permit incorporating
your program into proprietary programs. If your program
is a subroutine library, you may consider it more useful to
permit linking proprietary applications with the library. If
this is what you want to do, use the GNU Lesser General
Public License instead of this License.
GNU LESSER GENERAL
PUBLIC LICENSE
Version 2.1, February 1999
Copyright (C) 1991, 1999 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
51 Franklin Street, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA 02110-1301,
USA Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute
verbatim copies of this license document, but changing it
is not allowed.
[This is the first released version of the Lesser GPL. It
also counts as the successor of the GNU Library Public
License, version 2, hence the version number 2.1.]
Preamble
The licenses for most software are designed to take away
your freedom to share and change it. By contrast, the
GNU General Public Licenses are intended to guarantee
your freedom to share and change free software--to make
sure the software is free for all its users.
This license, the Lesser General Public License, applies to
some specially designated software packages--typically
libraries--of the Free Software Foundation and other
authors who decide to use it. You can use it too, but we
suggest you first think carefully about whether this license
or the ordinary General Public License is the better
strategy to use in any particular case, based on the
explanations below.
When we speak of free software, we are referring to
freedom of use, not price. Our General Public Licenses are
designed to make sure that you have the freedom to
distribute copies of free software (and charge for this
service if you wish); that you receive source code or can
get it if you want it; that you can change the software and
use pieces of it in new free programs; and that you are
informed that you can do these things.
To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that
forbid distributors to deny you these rights or to ask you to
surrender these rights. These restrictions translate to
certain responsibilities for you if you distribute copies of
the library or if you modify it.
For example, if you distribute copies of the library,
whether gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all
the rights that we gave you. You must make sure that they,
too, receive or can get the source code. If you link other
code with the library, you must provide complete object
files to the recipients, so that they can relink them with the
library after making changes to the library and
recompiling it. And you must show them these terms so
they know their rights.
We protect your rights with a two-step method: (1) we
copyright the library, and (2) we offer you this license,
which gives you legal permission to copy, distribute and/
or modify the library.
To protect each distributor, we want to make it very clear
that there is no warranty for the free library. Also, if the
library is modified by someone else and passed on, the

GB
recipients should know that what they have is not the
original version, so that the original author’s reputation
will not be affected by problems that might be introduced
by others.
Finally, software patents pose a constant threat to the
existence of any free program. We wish to make sure that
a company cannot effectively restrict the users of a free
program by obtaining a restrictive license from a patent
holder. Therefore, we insist that any patent license
obtained for a version of the library must be consistent
with the full freedom of use specified in this license.
Most GNU software, including some libraries, is covered
by the ordinary GNU General Public License. This
license, the GNU Lesser General Public License, applies
to certain designated libraries, and is quite different from
the ordinary General Public License. We use this license
for certain libraries in order to permit linking those
libraries into non-free programs.
When a program is linked with a library, whether
statically or using a shared library, the combination of the
two is legally speaking a combined work, a derivative of
the original library. The ordinary General Public License
therefore permits such linking only if the entire
combination fits its criteria of freedom. The Lesser
General Public License permits more lax criteria for
linking other code with the library.
We call this license the “Lesser” General Public License
because it does Less to protect the user’s freedom than the
ordinary General Public License. It also provides other
free software developers Less of an advantage over
competing non-free programs. These disadvantages are
the reason we use the ordinary General Public License for
many libraries. However, the Lesser license provides
advantages in certain special circumstances.
For example, on rare occasions, there may be a special
need to encourage the widest possible use of a certain
library, so that it becomes a de-facto standard. To achieve
this, non-free programs must be allowed to use the library.
A more frequent case is that a free library does the same
job as widely used non-free libraries. In this case, there is
little to gain by limiting the free library to free software
only, so we use the Lesser General Public License.
In other cases, permission to use a particular library in
non-free programs enables a greater number of people to
use a large body of free software. For example, permission
to use the GNU C Library in non-free programs enables
many more people to use the whole GNU operating
system, as well as its variant, the GNU/Linux operating
system.
Although the Lesser General Public License is Less
protective of the users’ freedom, it does ensure that the
user of a program that is linked with the Library has the
freedom and the wherewithal to run that program using a
modified version of the Library.
The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution
and modification follow. Pay close attention to the
difference between a “work based on the library” and a
“work that uses the library”. The former contains code
derived from the library, whereas the latter must be
combined with the library in order to run.
TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR
COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND
MODIFICATION
0. This License Agreement applies to any software library
or other program which contains a notice placed by the
copyright holder or other authorized party saying it
may be distributed under the terms of this Lesser
General Public License (also called “this License”).
Each licensee is addressed as “you”.
A “library” means a collection of software functions and/
or data prepared so as to be conveniently linked with
application programs (which use some of those functions
and data) to form executables.
The “Library”, below, refers to any such software library
or work which has been distributed under these terms. A
“work based on the Library” means either the Library or
any derivative work under copyright law: that is to say, a
work containing the Library or a portion of it, either
verbatim or with modifications and/or translated
straightforwardly into another language. (Hereinafter,
translation is included without limitation in the term
“modification”.)
”Source code” for a work means the preferred form of the
work for making modifications to it. For a library,
complete source code means all the source code for all
modules it contains, plus any associated interface
definition files, plus the scripts used to control
compilation and installation of the library.
Activities other than copying, distribution and
modification are not covered by this License; they are
outside its scope. The act of running a program using the
Library is not restricted, and output from such a program
is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on
the Library (independent of the use of the Library in a tool
for writing it). Whether that is true depends on what the
Library does and what the program that uses the Library
does.
1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the
Library’s complete source code as you receive it, in
any medium, provided that you conspicuously and
appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate
copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep
intact all the notices that refer to this License and to the
absence of any warranty; and distribute a copy of this
License along with the Library.
You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a
copy, and you may at your option offer warranty
protection in exchange for a fee.
2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Library or
any portion of it, thus forming a work based on the
Library, and copy and distribute such modifications or
work under the terms of Section 1 above, provided that
you also meet all of these conditions:
a) The modified work must itself be a software library.
b) You must cause the files modified to carry
prominent notices stating that you changed the files
and the date of any change.

masterpage: Right
RMN-U1
4-192-581-11(1)
91
GB
c) You must cause the whole of the work to be
licensed at no charge to all third parties under the
terms of this License.
d) If a facility in the modified Library refers to a
function or a table of data to be supplied by an
application program that uses the facility, other than
as an argument passed when the facility is invoked,
then you must make a good faith effort to ensure
that, in the event an application does not supply
such function or table, the facility still operates, and
performs whatever part of its purpose remains
meaningful.
(For example, a function in a library to compute square
roots has a purpose that is entirely well-defined
independent of the application. Therefore, Subsection
2d requires that any application-supplied function or
table used by this function must be optional: if the
application does not supply it, the square root function
must still compute square roots.)
These requirements apply to the modified work as a
whole. If identifiable sections of that work are not
derived from the Library, and can be reasonably
considered independent and separate works in
themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not
apply to those sections when you distribute them as
separate works. But when you distribute the same
sections as part of a whole which is a work based on
the Library, the distribution of the whole must be on
the terms of this License, whose permissions for other
licensees extend to the entire whole, and thus to each
and every part regardless of who wrote it.
Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or
contest your rights to work written entirely by you; rather,
the intent is to exercise the right to control the distribution
of derivative or collective works based on the Library.
In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based
on the Library with the Library (or with a work based on
the Library) on a volume of a storage or distribution
medium does not bring the other work under the scope of
this License.
3. You may opt to apply the terms of the ordinary GNU
General Public License instead of this License to a
given copy of the Library. To do this, you must alter all
the notices that refer to this License, so that they refer
to the ordinary GNU General Public License, version
2, instead of to this License. (If a newer version than
version 2 of the ordinary GNU General Public License
has appeared, then you can specify that version instead
if you wish.) Do not make any other change in these
notices.
Once this change is made in a given copy, it is irreversible
for that copy, so the ordinary GNU General Public
License applies to all subsequent copies and derivative
works made from that copy.
This option is useful when you wish to copy part of the
code of the Library into a program that is not a library.
4. You may copy and distribute the Library (or a portion
or derivative of it, under Section 2) in object code or
executable form under the terms of Sections 1 and 2
above provided that you accompany it with the
complete corresponding machine-readable source
code, which must be distributed under the terms of
Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used
for software interchange.
If distribution of object code is made by offering access to
copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent
access to copy the source code from the same place
satisfies the requirement to distribute the source code,
even though third parties are not compelled to copy the
source along with the object code.
5. A program that contains no derivative of any portion of
the Library, but is designed to work with the Library by
being compiled or linked with it, is called a “work that
uses the Library”. Such a work, in isolation, is not a
derivative work of the Library, and therefore falls
outside the scope of this License.
However, linking a “work that uses the Library” with the
Library creates an executable that is a derivative of the
Library (because it contains portions of the Library),
rather than a “work that uses the library”. The executable
is therefore covered by this License. Section 6 states terms
for distribution of such executables.
When a “work that uses the Library” uses material from a
header file that is part of the Library, the object code for
the work may be a derivative work of the Library even
though the source code is not. Whether this is true is
especially significant if the work can be linked without the
Library, or if the work is itself a library. The threshold for
this to be true is not precisely defined by law.
If such an object file uses only numerical parameters, data
structure layouts and accessors, and small macros and
small inline functions (ten lines or less in length), then the
use of the object file is unrestricted, regardless of whether
it is legally a derivative work. (Executables containing
this object code plus portions of the Library will still fall
under Section 6.)
Otherwise, if the work is a derivative of the Library, you
may distribute the object code for the work under the
terms of Section 6. Any executables containing that work
also fall under Section 6, whether or not they are linked
directly with the Library itself.
6. As an exception to the Sections above, you may also
combine or link a “work that uses the Library” with the
Library to produce a work containing portions of the
Library, and distribute that work under terms of your
choice, provided that the terms permit modification of
the work for the customer’s own use and reverse
engineering for debugging such modifications.
You must give prominent notice with each copy of the
work that the Library is used in it and that the Library and
its use are covered by this License. You must supply a
copy of this License. If the work during execution
displays copyright notices, you must include the copyright
notice for the Library among them, as well as a reference
directing the user to the copy of this License. Also, you
must do one of these things:
a) Accompany the work with the complete
corresponding machine-readable source code for the
Library including whatever changes were used in
the work (which must be distributed under Sections
010COV.book Page 91 Thursday, October 21, 2010 2:24 PM

GB
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.)
b) Use a suitable shared library mechanism for linking
with the Library. A suitable mechanism is one that
(1) uses at run time a copy of the library already
present on the user’s computer system, rather than
copying library functions into the executable, and
(2) will operate properly with a modified version of
the library, if the user installs one, as long as the
modified version is interface-compatible with the
version that the work was made with.
c) Accompany the work with a written offer, valid for
at least three years, to give the same user the
materials specified in Subsection 6a, above, for a
charge no more than the cost of performing this
distribution.
d) If distribution of the work is made by offering
access to copy from a designated place, offer
equivalent access to copy the above specified
materials from the same place.
e) Verify that the user has already received a copy of
these materials or that you have already sent this
user a copy.
For an executable, the required form of the “work that
uses the Library” must include any data and utility
programs needed for reproducing the executable from it.
However, as a special exception, the materials to be
distributed need not include anything that is normally
distributed (in either source or binary form) with the major
components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the operating
system on which the executable runs, unless that
component itself accompanies the executable.
It may happen that this requirement contradicts the license
restrictions of other proprietary libraries that do not
normally accompany the operating system. Such a
contradiction means you cannot use both them and the
Library together in an executable that you distribute.
7. You may place library facilities that are a work based
on the Library side-by-side in a single library together
with other library facilities not covered by this License,
and distribute such a combined library, provided that
the separate distribution of the work based on the
Library and of the other library facilities is otherwise
permitted, and provided that you do these two things:
a) Accompany the combined library with a copy of the
same work based on the Library, uncombined with
any other library facilities. This must be distributed
under the terms of the Sections above.
b) Give prominent notice with the combined library of
the fact that part of it is a work based on the Library,
and explaining where to find the accompanying
uncombined form of the same work.
8. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, link with, or
distribute the Library except as expressly provided
under this License. Any attempt otherwise to copy,
modify, sublicense, link with, or distribute the Library
is void, and will automatically terminate your rights
under this License. However, parties who have
received copies, or rights, from you under this License
will not have their licenses terminated so long as such
parties remain in full compliance.
9. You are not required to accept this License, since you
have not signed it. However, nothing else grants you
permission to modify or distribute the Library or its
derivative works. These actions are prohibited by law if
you do not accept this License. Therefore, by
modifying or distributing the Library (or any work
based on the Library), you indicate your acceptance of
this License to do so, and all its terms and conditions
for copying, distributing or modifying the Library or
works based on it.
10.Each time you redistribute the Library (or any work
based on the Library), the recipient automatically
receives a license from the original licensor to copy,
distribute, link with or modify the Library subject to
these terms and conditions. You may not impose any
further restrictions on the recipients’ exercise of the
rights granted herein. You are not responsible for
enforcing compliance by third parties with this
License.
11.If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation
of patent infringement or for any other reason (not
limited to patent issues), conditions are imposed on you
(whether by court order, agreement or otherwise) that
contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you
cannot distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your
obligations under this License and any other pertinent
obligations, then as a consequence you may not
distribute the Library at all. For example, if a patent
license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of
the Library by all those who receive copies directly or
indirectly through you, then the only way you could
satisfy both it and this License would be to refrain
entirely from distribution of the Library.
If any portion of this section is held invalid or
unenforceable under any particular circumstance, the
balance of the section is intended to apply, and the section
as a whole is intended to apply in other circumstances.
It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to
infringe any patents or other property right claims or to
contest validity of any such claims; this section has the
sole purpose of protecting the integrity of the free
software distribution system which is implemented by
public license practices. Many people have made generous
contributions to the wide range of software distributed
through that system in reliance on consistent application
of that system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he
or she is willing to distribute software through any other
system and a licensee cannot impose that choice.
This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is
believed to be a consequence of the rest of this License.
12.If the distribution and/or use of the Library is restricted
in certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted
interfaces, the original copyright holder who places the
Library under this License may add an explicit

geographical distribution limitation excluding those
countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or
among countries not thus excluded. In such case, this
License incorporates the limitation as if written in the
body of this License.
13.The Free Software Foundation may publish revised
and/or new versions of the Lesser General Public
License from time to time. Such new versions will be
similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in
detail to address new problems or concerns.
Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If
the Library specifies a version number of this License
which applies to it and “any later version”, you have the
option of following the terms and conditions either of that
version or of any later version published by the Free
Software Foundation. If the Library does not specify a
license version number, you may choose any version ever
published by the Free Software Foundation.
14.If you wish to incorporate parts of the Library into
other free programs whose distribution conditions are
incompatible with these, write to the author to ask for
permission. For software which is copyrighted by the
Free Software Foundation, write to the Free Software
Foundation; we sometimes make exceptions for this.
Our decision will be guided by the two goals of
preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free
software and of promoting the sharing and reuse of
software generally.
NO WARRANTY

CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE

OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR
CORRECTION.

END OF TERMS AND
CONDITIONS
How to Apply These Terms to Your New
Libraries
If you develop a new library, and you want it to be of the
greatest possible use to the public, we recommend making
it free software that everyone can redistribute and change.
You can do so by permitting redistribution under these
terms (or, alternatively, under the terms of the ordinary
General Public License).
To apply these terms, attach the following notices to the
library. It is safest to attach them to the start of each
source file to most effectively convey the exclusion of
warranty; and each file should have at least the
“copyright” line and a pointer to where the full notice is
found.
<one line to give the library’s name and an idea of
what it does.> Copyright (C) <year> <name of
author>
This library is free software; you can redistribute it
and/or modify it under the terms of the GNU Lesser
General Public License as published by the Free
Software Foundation; either version 2.1 of the
License, or (at your option) any later version.
This library is distributed in the hope that it will be
useful, but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without
even the implied warranty of MERCHANTABILITY
or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. See
the GNU Lesser General Public License for more
details.
You should have received a copy of the GNU Lesser
General Public License along with this library; if not,
write to the Free Software Foundation, Inc., 51
Franklin Street, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA 02110-1301,
USA Also add information on how to contact you by
electronic and paper mail.
You should also get your employer (if you work as a
programmer) or your school, if any, to sign a “copyright
disclaimer” for the library, if necessary. Here is a sample;
alter the names:
Yoyodyne, Inc., hereby disclaims all copyright
interest in the library `Frob’ (a library for tweaking
knobs) written by James Random Hacker.
signature of Ty Coon, 1 April 1990 Ty Coon,
President of Vice
That’s all there is to it!
