Oh, is this still the preferred way in Linux? The + syntax was
deprecated by SPDX [1] in favour of the -only and -or-later variants.
(Also see above in the Linux-syscall-note.)
Or is this the part to make spdxcheck happy?

> +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 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

> +
> + 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.
> +
> + 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 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
> +
> +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.
> +
> +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

> + (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.

> +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

> +To apply these terms, attach the following notices to the library. It is

> -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 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.
> -
> -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,

> -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,

> -
> -For an executable, the required form of the "work that uses the Library" must

> -7. You may place library facilities that are a work based on the Library side-by-side

> -8. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, link with, or distribute the Library
> -except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt otherwise to

> -9. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not signed

> -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

> -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.

> -Many people have made generous contributions to the wide range of software

> -License).
> -
> -To apply these terms, attach the following notices to the library. It is safest
