> GNU LESSER GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
> Version 3, 29 June 2007
>
> Copyright (C) 2007 Free Software Foundation, Inc. <http://fsf.org/>
> Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this license
> document, but changing it is not allowed.
>
> This version of the GNU Lesser General Public License incorporates the terms
> and conditions of version 3 of the GNU General Public License, supplemented by
> the additional permissions listed below.
>
> ### 0. Additional Definitions.
>
> As used herein, "this License" refers to version 3 of the GNU Lesser General
> Public License, and the "GNU GPL" refers to version 3 of the GNU General
> Public License.
>
> "The Library" refers to a covered work governed by this License, other than an
> Application or a Combined Work as defined below.
>
> An "Application" is any work that makes use of an interface provided by the
> Library, but which is not otherwise based on the Library. Defining a subclass
> of a class defined by the Library is deemed a mode of using an interface
> provided by the Library.
>
> A "Combined Work" is a work produced by combining or linking an Application
> with the Library.  The particular version of the Library with which the Combined
> Work was made is also called the "Linked Version".
>
> The "Minimal Corresponding Source" for a Combined Work means the Corresponding
> Source for the Combined Work, excluding any source code for portions of the
> Combined Work that, considered in isolation, are based on the Application, and
> not on the Linked Version.
>
> The "Corresponding Application Code" for a Combined Work means the object code
> and/or source code for the Application, including any data and utility
> programs needed for reproducing the Combined Work from the Application, but
> excluding the System Libraries of the Combined Work.
>
> ### 1. Exception to Section 3 of the GNU GPL.
>
> You may convey a covered work under sections 3 and 4 of this License without
> being bound by section 3 of the GNU GPL.
>
> ### 2. Conveying Modified Versions.
>
> If you modify a copy of the Library, and, in your modifications, a facility
> refers to a function or data to be supplied by an Application that uses the
> facility (other than as an argument passed when the facility is invoked), then
> you may convey a copy of the modified version:
>
> * a) under this License, provided that you make a good faith effort to
> ensure that, in the event an Application does not supply the
> function or data, the facility still operates, and performs
> whatever part of its purpose remains meaningful, or
> * b) under the GNU GPL, with none of the additional permissions of
> this License applicable to that copy.
>
> ### 3. Object Code Incorporating Material from Library Header Files.
>
> The object code form of an Application may incorporate material from
> a header file that is part of the Library.  You may convey such object
> code under terms of your choice, provided that, if the incorporated
> material is not limited to numerical parameters, data structure
> layouts and accessors, or small macros, inline functions and templates
> (ten or fewer lines in length), you do both of the following:
>
> * a) Give prominent notice with each copy of the object code that the
> Library is used in it and that the Library and its use are
> covered by this License.
> * b) Accompany the object code with a copy of the GNU GPL and this license
> document.
>
> ### 4. Combined Works.
>
> You may convey a Combined Work under terms of your choice that,
> taken together, effectively do not restrict modification of the
> portions of the Library contained in the Combined Work and reverse
> engineering for debugging such modifications, if you also do each of
> the following:
>
> * a) Give prominent notice with each copy of the Combined Work that
>   the Library is used in it and that the Library and its use are
>   covered by this License.
> * b) Accompany the Combined Work with a copy of the GNU GPL and this license
>   document.
> * c) For a Combined Work that displays copyright notices during
>   execution, include the copyright notice for the Library among
>   these notices, as well as a reference directing the user to the
>   copies of the GNU GPL and this license document.
> * d) Do one of the following:
>
>        * 0) Convey the Minimal Corresponding Source under the terms of this
>        License, and the Corresponding Application Code in a form
>        suitable for, and under terms that permit, the user to
>        recombine or relink the Application with a modified version of
>        the Linked Version to produce a modified Combined Work, in the
>        manner specified by section 6 of the GNU GPL for conveying
>        Corresponding Source.
>
>        * 1) Use a suitable shared library mechanism for linking with the
>        Library.  A suitable mechanism is one that (a) uses at run time
>        a copy of the Library already present on the user's computer
>        system, and (b) will operate properly with a modified version
>        of the Library that is interface-compatible with the Linked
>        Version.
>
> * e) Provide Installation Information, but only if you would otherwise
>   be required to provide such information under section 6 of the
>   GNU GPL, and only to the extent that such information is
>   necessary to install and execute a modified version of the
>   Combined Work produced by recombining or relinking the
>   Application with a modified version of the Linked Version. (If
>   you use option 4d0, the Installation Information must accompany
>   the Minimal Corresponding Source and Corresponding Application
>   Code. If you use option 4d1, you must provide the Installation
>   Information in the manner specified by section 6 of the GNU GPL
>   for conveying Corresponding Source.)
>
> ### 5. Combined Libraries.
>
> 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 that are not Applications and are not covered by this
> License, and convey such a combined library under terms of your
> choice, if you do both of the following:
>
> * a) Accompany the combined library with a copy of the same work based
>   on the Library, uncombined with any other library facilities,
>   conveyed under the terms of this License.
> * b) Give prominent notice with the combined library that part of it
>   is a work based on the Library, and explaining where to find the
>   accompanying uncombined form of the same work.
>
> ### 6. Revised Versions of the GNU Lesser General Public License.
>
> The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions
> of the GNU 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 as you received it specifies that a certain numbered version
> of the GNU Lesser General Public License "or any later version"
> applies to it, you have the option of following the terms and
> conditions either of that published version or of any later version
> published by the Free Software Foundation. If the Library as you
> received it does not specify a version number of the GNU Lesser
> General Public License, you may choose any version of the GNU Lesser
> General Public License ever published by the Free Software Foundation.
>
> If the Library as you received it specifies that a proxy can decide
> whether future versions of the GNU Lesser General Public License shall
> apply, that proxy's public statement of acceptance of any version is
> permanent authorization for you to choose that version for the
> Library.
