Displaying and Adjusting the Image Whether youre presenting from a computer or video equipment, you need to follow some basic steps to display your image on the screen.

Follow the guidelines in this chapter for:

Positioning the projector

Turning the projector on and off

Selecting the image source

Troubleshooting display problems

Adjusting the image

16 Displaying and Adjusting the Image

Positioning the Projector If the projector isnt already installed in the room youre using, youll probably want to place it on a table in front of the screen. This lets you stand in the front of the room, face the audience, and remain close enough to the equipment to be able to control it. Try to leave as much space as possible between the projector and the screen to get a good-size image.

Use the figures below to help you determine placement. (The image shown below is projected at a 4:3 aspect ratio, but the PowerLite 826W is capable of displaying images as wide as 16:10.) Image size increases with distance, but can vary depending on how you position the zoom ring and whether youve adjusted the image with other settings.

note You can mount the projector on the ceiling, or place it behind a translucent screen for rear projection. See page 133 for details.

TBD

Displaying and Adjusting the Image 17

Also keep these considerations in mind:

Place the projector on a sturdy, level surface.

Make sure there is plenty of space for ventilation around and under the projector. Do not set the projector on top of anything that could block the vents.

Make sure the projector is within 10 feet of a grounded electrical outlet or extension cord.

Ideally, you should place the projector directly in front of the center of the screen, facing it toward the screen squarely. The base of the lens should be at about the level of the bottom of the screen.

note After positioning the projector, you may want to connect a Kensington MicroSaver anti-theft device to the lock port on the projector. You can purchase this from Epson; see page 13.

Projector

18 Displaying and Adjusting the Image

If you place the projector below screen level, youll have to tilt it up by extending the front adjustable foot. This causes the image to become keystone shaped, but you can correct the distortion by pressing the buttons on the projector. See page 26 for detailed information about correcting the image shape.

For instructions on installing the projector in a permanent location, such as a theater or conference room, see page 133.

Turning the Projector On and Off Make sure your projector and any computer or video equipment are connected as described on page 39. Turn on your connected equipment before starting the projector so it can automatically detect and display the image source. If you turn on the projector first, or have multiple pieces of connected equipment, you may have to select the image source manually (see page 21).

Turning On the Projector

Follow these steps to turn on the projector:

1. Open the A/V Mute slide (lens cover).

note You can set the projector to automatically turn off the lamp and enter sleep mode when it has not received any signals or the A/V Mute slide remains closed for a period of time. This conserves electricity, cools the projector, and extends the life of the lamp. To enable sleep mode, see page 101.

Displaying and Adjusting the Image 19

2. Plug one end of the power cable into the projector, and the other end into an electrical outlet.

The P power light turns orange.

20 Displaying and Adjusting the Image

3. Press the Ppower button on the remote control or on top of the projector.

The projector beeps once and the Ppower light flashes green as the projector warms up, then an image begins to appear. When the Ppower light stops flashing and remains green, the projector is ready for use.

4. If you are prompted to enter a password, see page 95.

Using the Direct Power On Function

The Direct Power On function enables faster setup. The projector will start up automatically when you plug it in; you wont have to press the Ppower button.

Follow these steps to enable Direct Power On:

1. Press the Menu button on the remote control and select the Extended menu.

2. Choose Operation and press Enter.

3. Choose Direct Power On and press Enter.

4. Highlight On and press Enter.

5. Press Esc or Menu to exit. The setting will take effect the next time you plug in the projector.

warning Never look into the lens when the lamp is on. This can damage your eyes, and is especially dangerous for children.

note If a power outage occurs when Direct Power On is enabled and the projector is plugged in, the projector will restart when the power is restored.

Displaying and Adjusting the Image 21

Shutting Down the Projector

This projector incorporates Instant Off technology. To turn it off, you can press its Ppower button as described below, unplug it, or turn off a power switch that supplies power to the projector. You dont have to wait for the projector to cool off first.

1. To turn off the projector, press the Ppower button on the remote control or projector.

You see a confirmation message. (If you dont want to turn it off, press any other button.)

2. Press the Ppower button again. The projection lamp turns off and you can unplug the power cord.

If you want to turn the projector on again, make sure the orange Ppower light is not flashing, then press the Ppower button.

3. If you extended the adjustable front foot, press up on the foot release lever to retract it.

4. Close the A/V Mute slide.

Selecting the Image Source Selecting the image source lets you switch between images input from different pieces of connected equipment (such as a computer or DVD player).

If you dont see the image you want, press the Search button on the remote control or the Source Search button on the projector until you see the image you want to project.

note Lamp life results will vary depending on mode selected, environmental conditions, and usage.

Turn off this product when not in use to prolong the life of the projector.

note To focus and adjust the image, see page 24. If a projected image fails to appear, see page 22 for help.

22 Displaying and Adjusting the Image

You can also use the Source buttons on the remote control to switch between devices connected to the ports identified on each button, or select LAN to project through your network.

Troubleshooting Display Problems Follow these guidelines if youre having trouble displaying an image.

You Cant Project an Image

If you dont see the image you are trying to project, try the following:

Make sure the cables are connected correctly, as described beginning on page 39.

Make sure the Ppower light is green and not flashing and the A/V Mute slide is open.

If youve connected more than one computer and/or video source, you may need to press the Source Search button on the projectors control panel or Search button on the remote control to select the correct source. (Allow a few seconds for the projector to sync up after pressing the button.)

If youre using a PC notebook, press the function key on your keyboard that lets you display on an external monitor. It may be labeled CRT/LCD or have an icon such as . You may have to hold down the Fn key while pressing it. Allow a few seconds for the projector to sync up after changing the setting.

See page 120 for more solutions.

Displaying and Adjusting the Image 23

The Projector and Notebook Dont Display the Same Image

If youre projecting from a notebook, and you cant see your image on the projection screen and on your computer at the same time, follow these guidelines.

If youre using a PC notebook: On most systems, theres a function key that lets you toggle

between the LCD screen and the projector, or display on both at the same time. It may be labeled CRT/LCD or have an icon such as

. You may have to hold down the Fn key while pressing it. Allow a few seconds for the projector to sync up after changing the setting.

If the function key doesnt permit you to display simultaneously on both screens, you should check your monitor settings to make sure both the LCD screen and the external monitor port are enabled.

From the Control Panel, open the Display utility. In the Display Properties dialog box, click the Settings tab, then click Advanced. The method for adjusting the settings varies by brand; you may need to click a Monitor tab, then make sure the external Monitor port is set as your primary display and/or enabled. See your computers documentation or online help for details.

If youre using Mac OS X: You may need to set up your system to display on the projector screen as well as the LCD screen. Make sure your projector is connected and follow these steps:

1. From the Apple menu, select System Preferences, then select Displays.

2. Click Detect Displays.

3. Make sure the VGA Displayor Color LCD dialog box is selected.

24 Displaying and Adjusting the Image

4. Click the Arrangement (or Arrange) tab.

5. Make sure the Mirror Displayscheckbox is selected.

Adjusting the Image Once you see your image, you need to make certain adjustments:

If the image is too high or too low, you can reposition it. See page 25.

To focus or zoom your image, see page 25.

If the image isnt square, see page 26.

If a computer image displays incorrectly, see page 28.

If you need to fine-tune the image and/or sound, see page 87.

Make sure Mirror Displays is checked

Displaying and Adjusting the Image 25

Adjusting the Height of Your Image

If the image is too low on the screen, you can use the front adjustable foot to raise it.

1. Stand behind the projector. Press the foot release lever up and lift the front of the projector.

2. Once the image is positioned where you want it, release the lever to lock the foot in position.

3. If necessary, you can fine-tune the height or level of the image by turning the projectors adjustable rear feet.

Raising the projector causes the image to distort or keystone, but you can correct the shape as described on page 26.

Focusing and Zooming Your Image

Turn the focus ring on the projector to sharpen the image.

Turn the zoom ring on the projector to reduce or enlarge the image.

Do not expose batteries to heat or flame.

Dispose of used batteries according to local regulations.

Remove the batteries if you wont be using the projector for a long period of time.

Using the Remote Control 31

Controlling the Picture and Sound You can use the remote control to preview and select your picture sources, temporarily turn off the picture and sound, freeze the action, zoom in on the picture, and adjust the volume.

Switching Between Picture Sources

If your projector is connected to more than one computer and/or video source, you can switch between the different sources:

The easiest way to select your source is to press the Search button on the remote control (or the Source Search button on the projector) repeatedly until you see the image you want on the screen.

On the remote control, there are four Source buttons. Use them to switch between equipment connected to the port identified on each button, or to project through a network.

After you select a source, the screen goes dark for a moment before the image appears.

32 Using the Remote Control

Turning Off the Picture and Sound

You can use the A/V Mute button on the remote control to turn off the image and sound. This does the same thing as the A/V Mute slide (shown on page 18) and is useful if you want to temporarily redirect your audiences attention.

To turn off the picture and sound, press the A/V Mute button. The screen turns black.

To turn the image and sound back on, press the button again.

You can have the screen turn blue when you press the A/V Mute button. You can also have an image, such as a company logo, display on the screen (see page 98).

Stopping Action

You can use the remote control to stop the action in your video or computer image.

To stop the action and keep the current image on the screen, press the Freeze button. The sound continues.

To restart it, press the Freeze button again.

note This function pauses the image, but not the sound. Also, because the source continues to transmit signals, you wont resume the action from the point you stopped it.

Using the Remote Control 33

Zooming Part of Your Image

You can zoom in on a portion of the image using the E-Zoom buttons on the remote control.

1. Press the E-Zoom button on the remote control.

You see a crosshair indicating the center of the zoom-in area.

2. Use the pointer buttons to position the crosshair.

3. Continue pressing the E-Zoom button to enlarge the selected area up to 4 magnification.

4. While the image is enlarged, you can:

Use the pointer buttons to move around the screen.

Press the E-Zoom button to zoom out.

You can also adjust the volume using the projectors menu system. See page 94.

note To temporarily shut off the sound and picture, press the A/V Mute button or close the A/V Mute slide.

34 Using the Remote Control

Adjusting the Aspect Ratio

You can use the Aspect button on the remote control to adjust how an image fits into the display area. Each time you press the button, the projector changes to the next setting.

When Connected to Video Equipment If youre projecting from video equipment such as a DVD player, set the projectors Aspect setting to match that of the player. For example, if the video player is set to output images at a 16:9 aspect ratio, set the projectors Aspect setting to 16:9 so they match. If the player outputs images at a 4:3 aspect ratio, select 4:3 (PowerLite 85/825) or Normal (PowerLite 85/826W).

PowerLite 85/825

4:3 setting 16:9 setting

PowerLite 826W

Normal setting 16:9 setting

Using the Remote Control 35

Note that the projectors native aspect ratio is narrower than 16:9. Therefore, widescreen movies and HDTV broadcasts will display with black bars at the top and bottom when 16:9 is selected as the Aspect setting. For the PowerLite 826W, you can select Full to stretch the image vertically to fill the whole projection area.

When Connected to a Computer For computer images, Normal is usually the best setting to select. This displays the image at the largest possible size without stretching it. For computers with wide-panel WXGA displays, the PowerLite 826W displays the image at WXGA resolution, making full use of the display area; likewise, the PowerLite 85/825 displays XGA images to their best advantage.

Depending on your computer display and projector model, you may see black bars at the edges. In that case, try selecting 16:9. The PowerLite 826W also lets you select:

Full to stretch the image to fill the whole projection area

Zoom to fit the image in one dimension only, with the other dimension cut off

Through to display the image without stretching or scaling it

If the resolution of the image is the same as the projectors, changing the Aspect setting has no effect. Also, if youre projecting through your computers USB port, you cant change the projectors aspect ratio; instead, change your computers resolution to match that of the projector.

note If part of the image remains cut off, check the projectors Resolution setting (see page 92). Select Normal or Wide, depending on the size of your computers display panel.

36 Using the Remote Control

Adjusting the Color Mode

You can use the Color Mode button on the remote control to adjust the color, brightness, and other aspects of your image. This lets you quickly adjust the image for various uses.

Press the button repeatedly to select from the following settings:

Dynamic: For increased brightness and contrast when playing video games or watching TV in a bright room. If you notice video delays during high-speed gaming, turn off the Progressive setting (see page 92).

Presentation: For computer presentations in a bright room with color graphics.

Whiteboard: For computer presentations in a bright room with black-and-white text and graphics.

Theatre: For watching movies in a dark room.

Photo: For vivid, high-contrast still images in a bright room.

Sports: For vivid TV images projected in a bright room (video, S-video, or composite video only).

sRGB: For matching the color palette of standard sRGB computer displays

Blackboard: For projecting accurate colors on a green chalkboard (adjusts the white point).

If you are using the optional wireless LAN module, make sure that you have sufficient wireless signal strength (above 50 percent). On a Mac, check the AirPort icon on the Mac menu bar. In Windows, see the documentation for your computers wireless card or adapter for details.

Solving Problems 127

Make sure you arent projecting one of the NS Connection configuration screens. (You should see a message that the projector is ready to connect.) If you have to exit a configuration screen, restart NS Connection.

If the projector is configured for Access Point mode and youre using DHCP, allow time for your projector to appear. It takes the server a little while to pick up the IP address.

If youve changed any settings for your projector or network, or restarted your computer, allow a minute or two for the connection to appear. If youre using AirPort, try turning AirPort off and then on again.

Make sure that youre trying to connect to the right network. In Windows, verify that youve enabled your computers connection to the access point (see page 74) or that your wireless card or adapter is enabled and its SSID is set to match the projectors SSID (see page 66). On a Mac, click the AirPort icon at the top of your Mac desktop to make sure AirPort is turned on and the projectors SSID or your AirPort network is selected.

If you have an access point or AirPort base station and youre not using DHCP, check your projectors IP address on the Access Point mode advanced settings screen. The first three segments of the IP address should be identical to the first three segments of the IP address of your access point or base station. The last segment of the projectors IP address should be close, but not identical, to the last segment of the IP address of the access point or base station.

If youre not using DHCP, check your projectors Gateway address on the projectors Access Point mode advanced settings screen. It should be identical to the IP address for your access point or AirPort base station.

If youre using a projector keyword, it changes each time you turn the projector off and then on again. Check the projectors keyword on the LAN standby screen and enter it at the prompt.

128 Solving Problems

If youre using AirPort, check the configuration of your network. Start the AirPort Admin utility, select your base station, click Configure and click Show All Settings. Click the Network tab. If you set up your projector to connect in DHCP mode, turn on Distribute IP Addresses and Share a Single IP Address.

If youre using AirPort and DHCP is turned off on your projectors Access Point mode advanced settings screen, make sure Distribute IP Addresses is off.

If youre using Access Point mode and youre connecting to the wrong network, you may be experiencing signal interference from another network. Try resetting your access point or base station, then restart NS Connection.

If youre using AirPort, the projectors SSID should match the AirPort network name, not the name of the AirPort base station. To check the network name, start the AirPort Admin utility, select your base station, and click Configure. Then click Show All Settings. The network name appears on the AirPort tab.

If youre prompted for a password when you connect, enter the WEP encryption key (if youre using WEP encryption).

You are not receiving mail when a projector problem occurs.

Make sure the Mail settings are correct in the Network menu. For details, see page 84.

To receive mail notification when the projector is in standby mode, you need to set Standby Mode to Communication On in the Extended menu. See page 101.

Solving Problems 129

Solving Problems with the Remote Control

The projector doesnt respond to remote control commands.

The remote controls batteries may not be installed correctly or may be low on power. To change the batteries, see page 30.

Make sure you are within about 20 feet (6 meters) of the projector and within range of the projectors front or back sensor (approximately 30 to the left or right and 15 above or below).

Dim the room lights and turn off any fluorescent lights. Make sure the projector is not in direct sunlight. Strong lighting, especially fluorescent lights, may affect the projectors infrared receivers. Also, turn off any nearby equipment that emits infrared energy, such as a radiant room heater. To avoid interference, you can also turn off the projectors front or back sensor with the Remote Receiver setting (see page 94), but this may limit where you can use the remote control.

Make sure the projectors sensors have not been turned off with the Remote Receiver setting (see page 94).

If any buttons are held for longer than 30 seconds, the remote enters sleep mode. Release any button that is held to wake the remote.

If youre using the remote control as a wireless mouse, make sure the USB Type B setting in the Extended menu is set to Wireless Mouse (see page 101).

Projector Installation This appendix provides guidelines on installing the projector in a permanent location, such as a classroom or conference room.

The projector can be installed for four different viewing setups: front projection, ceiling projection, rear projection onto a semi-transparent screen, or rear/ceiling projection, as shown:

To project from overhead, youll need the optional ceiling mounting hardware; see page 13 for ordering information. Youll also need to select Front/Ceiling or Rear/Ceiling as the Projection option in the projectors Extended menu to flip the image upside-down. To project from the rear, onto a semi-transparent screen, select Rear or Rear/Ceiling (see page 100).

Front projection Rear projection

Rear/ceiling projectionCeiling projection

134 Projector Installation

If youre mounting the projector on the ceiling and you place it above screen level, youll have to tilt the projector down to position the image on the screen. This causes the image to lose its square shape. You can correct the distortion using the Keystone function in the projectors menu system (see page 93).

If you place the projector so that the base of the lens is level with the bottom of the screen, the image should be square and you wont have to adjust it. If you place the lens lower than the bottom of the screen, youll have to tilt the projector upward if you want to fill the whole screen with the image.

The following illustrations provide measurements you can use when installing the projector:

Notices This appendix includes safety instructions and other important information about your PowerLite projector.

Important Safety Instructions Follow these safety instructions when setting up and using the projector:

Do not look into the lens when the projector is on. The bright light can damage your eyes.

Do not place the projector on an unstable cart, stand, or table.

Do not operate the projector on its side, or while tilted to one side. Do not tilt the projector more than 30 forward or back.

If the projector is mounted on a ceiling, it should be installed by qualified technicians using mounting hardware designed for use with this projector.

If you use a ceiling mount and apply adhesives to the mount to prevent the screws from loosening, or if you use lubricants or oils on the projector, the projector case may crack and the projector may fall from its ceiling mount. This could cause serious injury to anyone under the mount and could damage the projector. When installing or adjusting a ceiling mount, do not use adhesives to prevent the screws from loosening and do not use oils or lubricants.

Do not stand on the projector or place heavy objects on it.

Do not use the projector where it may be exposed to rain, water, or excessive humidity.

Unplug the projector from the wall outlet before cleaning. Use a dry cloth (or, for stubborn dirt or stains, a moist cloth that has been wrung dry) for cleaning. Do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners.

Never spill liquid of any kind into the projector.

Do not use the projector where it may be exposed to excessive dust or smoke.

Never push objects of any kind through the cabinet slots.

142 Notices

Do not use or store the projector or remote control in a hot location, such as near a heater, in direct sunlight, or in a closed vehicle.

Do not block the slots and openings in the projector case. They provide ventilation and prevent the projector from overheating. Do not operate the projector on a sofa, rug, or other soft surface, or set it on top of loose papers, which could block vents underneath your projector. If you are setting up the projector near a wall, leave at least 7.9 inches (20 cm) of space between the wall and the air exhaust vent.

Do not operate the projector in a closed-in cabinet unless proper ventilation is provided.

If you are using two or more projectors side-by-side, leave at least 2 feet (60 cm) of space between the projectors to allow for proper ventilation.

You may need to clean the air filter and vent. A clogged air filter or vent can block ventilation needed to cool the projector.

Do not store the projector outdoors for an extended length of time.

Do not use the projector outside the required temperature range of 41 to 95 F (5 to 35 C). Doing so may cause an unstable display and could lead to projector damage.

Do not store the projector outside the required temperature range of 14 to 140 F (10 to 60 C) or in direct sunlight for long periods of time. Doing so may cause damage to the case.

Do not touch the plug during an electrical storm. Otherwise, you may receive an electric shock.

Unplug the projector when it will not be used for extended periods.

Unplug the projector from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under the following conditions: If it does not operate normally when you follow the operating instructions, or exhibits a distinct change in performance; If smoke, strange odors, or strange noises come from the projector; If the power cord or plug is damaged or frayed; If liquid or foreign objects get inside the projector, or if it has been exposed to rain or water; If it has been dropped or the housing has been damaged.

Except as specifically explained in this Users Guide, do not attempt to service this product yourself. Refer all servicing to qualified personnel. Opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltages and other hazards.

Never open any covers on the projector except as specifically explained in this Users Guide. Never attempt to disassemble or modify the projector. Refer all repairs to qualified service personnel.

Notices 143

Use the type of power source indicated on the projector. Use of a different power source may result in fire or electric shock. If you are not sure of the power available, consult your dealer or power company.

If you use the projector in a country other than where you purchased it, use the correct power cord for that country.

Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords, or power strips. Do not insert the plug into a dusty outlet. This can cause fire or electric shock.

Take the following precautions when handling the plug: Do not hold the plug with wet hands. Do not insert the plug into an outlet with dust present. Insert the plug firmly into the outlet. Do not pull the power cord when disconnecting the plug; always be sure to hold the plug when disconnecting it. Failure to comply with these precautions could result in fire or electric shock.

Do not place the projector where the cord can be walked on.

The lamp(s) in this product contain mercury. Please consult your state and local regulations regarding disposal or recycling. Do not put in the trash.

Do not place anything that can become warped or damaged by heat near the exhaust vents. Do not bring your hands or face close to the vents while projection is in progress.

Before you move the projector, make sure its power is turned off, the plug is disconnected from the outlet, and all cables are disconnected.

Never try to remove the lamp immediately after use because it will be extremely hot. Before removing the lamp, turn off the power and wait at least an hour to allow the lamp to cool completely.

Do not place the source of an open flame, such as a lit candle, on or near the projector.

Do not modify the power cord. Do not place heavy objects on top of the power cord or bend, twist, or pull it excessively. Keep the power cord away from hot electrical appliances.

If the lamp breaks, ventilate the room to prevent gases contained in the lamp from being inhaled or coming in contact with the eyes or mouth.

If the projector is mounted overhead and the lamp breaks, be careful to prevent pieces of glass from falling into your eyes when you open the lamp cover.

The GNU General Public License Version 2 is as follows. You also can see the GNU General Public License Version 2 at http://www.gnu.org/license/.

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.

146 Notices

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.

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. (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.

Notices 147

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 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:

148 Notices

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.

Notices 149

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.

150 Notices

10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free programs whose distribution conditions are different, write to the author to ask for permission. For software which is copyrighted by the Free Software Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes make exceptions for this. Our decision will be guided by the two goals of preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and of promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally.

NO WARRANTY

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

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

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)

Notices 151

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.

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.

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.

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.

Notices 153

For example, if you distribute copies of the library, whether gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that we gave you. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the source code. If you link other code with the library, you must provide complete object files to the recipients, so that they can relink them with the library after making changes to the library and recompiling it. And you must show them these terms so they know their rights.

We protect your rights with a two-step method: (1) we copyright the library, and (2) we offer you this license, which gives you legal permission to copy, distribute and/or modify the library.

To protect each distributor, we want to make it very clear that there is no warranty for the free library. Also, if the library is modified by someone else and passed on, the recipients should know that what they have is not the original version, so that the original author's reputation will not be affected by problems that might be introduced by others.

Finally, software patents pose a constant threat to the existence of any free program. We wish to make sure that a company cannot effectively restrict the users of a free program by obtaining a restrictive license from a patent holder. Therefore, we insist that any patent license obtained for a version of the library must be consistent with the full freedom of use specified in this license.

Most GNU software, including some libraries, is covered by the ordinary GNU General Public License. This license, the GNU Lesser General Public License, applies to certain designated libraries, and is quite different from the ordinary General Public License. We use this license for certain libraries in order to permit linking those libraries into non-free programs.

When a program is linked with a library, whether statically or using a shared library, the combination of the two is legally speaking a combined work, a derivative of the original library. The ordinary General Public License therefore permits such linking only if the entire combination fits its criteria of freedom. The Lesser General Public License permits more lax criteria for linking other code with the library.

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.

154 Notices

In other cases, permission to use a particular library in non-free programs enables a greater number of people to use a large body of free software. For example, permission to use the GNU C Library in non-free programs enables many more people to use the whole GNU operating system, as well as its variant, the GNU/Linux operating system.

Although the Lesser General Public License is Less protective of the users' freedom, it does ensure that the user of a program that is linked with the Library has the freedom and the wherewithal to run that program using a modified version of the Library.

The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and modification follow. Pay close attention to the difference between a "work based on the library" and a "work that uses the library". The former contains code derived from the library, whereas the latter must be combined with the library in order to run.

GNU LESSER GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR

COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION

0. This License Agreement applies to any software library or other program which contains a notice placed by the copyright holder or other authorized party saying it may be distributed under the terms of this Lesser General Public License (also called "this License"). Each licensee is addressed as "you".

A "library" means a collection of software functions and/or data prepared so as to be conveniently linked with application programs (which use some of those functions and data) to form executables.

The "Library", below, refers to any such software library or work which has been distributed under these terms. A "work based on the Library" means either the Library or any derivative work under copyright law: that is to say, a work containing the Library or a portion of it, either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated straightforwardly into another language. (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in the term "modification".)

"Source code" for a work means the preferred form of the work for making modifications to it. For a library, complete source code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to control compilation and installation of the library.

Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of running a program using the Library is not restricted, and output from such a program is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the Library (independent of the use of the Library in a tool for writing it). Whether that is true depends on what the Library does and what the program that uses the Library does.

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.

Notices 155

You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee.

2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Library or any portion of it, thus forming a work based on the Library, and copy and distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1 above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:

a) The modified work must itself be a software library.

b) You must cause the files modified to carry prominent notices stating that you changed the files and the date of any change.

c) You must cause the whole of the work to be licensed at no charge to all third parties under the terms of this License.

d) If a facility in the modified Library refers to a function or a table of data to be supplied by an application program that uses the facility, other than as an argument passed when the facility is invoked, then you must make a good faith effort to ensure that, in the event an application does not supply such function or table, the facility still operates, and performs whatever part of its purpose remains meaningful.

(For example, a function in a library to compute square roots has a purpose that is entirely well-defined independent of the application. Therefore, Subsection 2d requires that any application-supplied function or table used by this function must be optional: if the application does not supply it, the square root function must still compute square roots.)

These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Library, and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based on the Library, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it.

Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or collective works based on the Library.

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

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.

156 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.

Notices 157

You must give prominent notice with each copy of the work that the Library is used in it and that the Library and its use are covered by this License. You must supply a copy of this License. If the work during execution displays copyright notices, you must include the copyright notice for the Library among them, as well as a reference directing the user to the copy of this License. Also, you must do one of these things:

a) Accompany the work with the complete corresponding machine-readable source code for the Library including whatever changes were used in the work (which must be distributed under Sections 1 and 2 above); and, if the work is an executable linked with the Library, with the complete machine-readable "work that uses the Library", as object code and/or source code, so that the user can modify the Library and then 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.

158 Notices

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.

Notices 159

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

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.

160 Notices

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 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 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.

Peter Deutsch, sole proprietor of its copyright holder, Aladdin Enterprises of Menlo Park, CA. ansi2knr.c is NOT covered by the above copyright and conditions, but instead by the usual distribution terms of the Free Software Foundation; principally, that you must include source code if you redistribute it. (See the file ansi2knr.c for full details.) However, since ansi2knr.c is not needed as part of any program generated from the IJG code, this does not limit you more than the foregoing paragraphs do.

The Unix configuration script "configure" was produced with GNU Autoconf. It is copyright by the Free Software Foundation but is freely distributable. The same holds for its supporting scripts (config.guess, config.sub, ltconfig, ltmain.sh). Another support script, install-sh, is copyright by M.I.T. but is also freely distributable.

It appears that the arithmetic coding option of the JPEG spec is covered by patents owned by IBM, AT&T, and Mitsubishi. Hence arithmetic coding cannot legally be used without obtaining one or more licenses. For this reason, support for arithmetic coding has been removed from the free JPEG software. (Since arithmetic coding provides only a marginal gain over the unpatented Huffman mode, it is unlikely that very many implementations will support it.) So far as we are aware, there are no patent restrictions on the remaining code.

The IJG distribution formerly included code to read and write GIF files. To avoid entanglement with the Unisys LZW patent, GIF reading support has been removed altogether, and the GIF writer has been simplified to produce "uncompressed GIFs". This technique does not use the LZW algorithm; the resulting GIF files are larger than usual, but are readable by all standard GIF decoders.

Independent implementation of MD5 (RFC 1321).

This code implements the MD5 Algorithm defined in RFC 1321, whose text is available at

http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc1321.txt

The code is derived from the text of the RFC, including the test suite (section A.5) but excluding the rest of Appendix A. It does not include any code or documentation that is identified in the RFC as being copyrighted.

The original and principal author of md5.h is L. Peter Deutsch . Other authors are noted in the change history that follows (in reverse chronological order):

2002-04-13 lpd Removed support for non-ANSI compilers; removed

references to Ghostscript; clarified derivation from RFC 1321; now handles byte order either statically or dynamically.

1999-11-04 lpd Edited comments slightly for automatic TOC extraction.

1999-10-18 lpd Fixed typo in header comment (ansi2knr rather than md5);

added conditionalization for C++ compilation from Martin Purschke .

1999-05-03 lpd Original version.
