    10  numbered 2 because it goes with version 2 of the ordinary GPL.]

    12 			    Preamble
       
    13 
       
    14   The licenses for most software are designed to take away your
       
    15 freedom to share and change it.  By contrast, the GNU General Public
       
    16 Licenses are intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change
       
    17 free software--to make sure the software is free for all its users.
       
    18 
       
    19   This license, the Library General Public License, applies to some
       
    20 specially designated Free Software Foundation software, and to any
       
    21 other libraries whose authors decide to use it.  You can use it for
       
    22 your libraries, too.
       
    23 
       
    24   When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not
       
    25 price.  Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you
       
    26 have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for
       
    27 this service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it
       
    28 if you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it
       
    29 in new free programs; and that you know you can do these things.
       
    30 
       
    31   To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid
       
    32 anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights.
       
    33 These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if
       
    34 you distribute copies of the library, or if you modify it.
       
    35 
       
    36   For example, if you distribute copies of the library, whether gratis
       
    37 or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that we gave
       
    38 you.  You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the source
       
    39 code.  If you link a program with the library, you must provide
       
    40 complete object files to the recipients so that they can relink them
       
    41 with the library, after making changes to the library and recompiling
       
    42 it.  And you must show them these terms so they know their rights.
       
    43 
       
    44   Our method of protecting your rights has two steps: (1) copyright
       
    45 the library, and (2) offer you this license which gives you legal
       
    46 permission to copy, distribute and/or modify the library.
       
    47 
       
    48   Also, for each distributor's protection, we want to make certain
       
    49 that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free
       
    50 library.  If the library is modified by someone else and passed on, we
       
    51 want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original
       
    52 version, so that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on
       
    53 the original authors' reputations.
       
    54 
       
    55   Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software
       
    56 patents.  We wish to avoid the danger that companies distributing free
       
    57 software will individually obtain patent licenses, thus in effect
       
    58 transforming the program into proprietary software.  To prevent this,
       
    59 we have made it clear that any patent must be licensed for everyone's
       
    60 free use or not licensed at all.
       
    61 
       
    62   Most GNU software, including some libraries, is covered by the ordinary
       
    63 GNU General Public License, which was designed for utility programs.  This
       
    64 license, the GNU Library General Public License, applies to certain
       
    65 designated libraries.  This license is quite different from the ordinary
       
    66 one; be sure to read it in full, and don't assume that anything in it is
       
    67 the same as in the ordinary license.
       
    68 
       
    69   The reason we have a separate public license for some libraries is that
       
    70 they blur the distinction we usually make between modifying or adding to a
       
    71 program and simply using it.  Linking a program with a library, without
       
    72 changing the library, is in some sense simply using the library, and is
       
    73 analogous to running a utility program or application program.  However, in
       
    74 a textual and legal sense, the linked executable is a combined work, a
       
    75 derivative of the original library, and the ordinary General Public License
       
    76 treats it as such.
       
    77 
       
    78   Because of this blurred distinction, using the ordinary General
       
    79 Public License for libraries did not effectively promote software
       
    80 sharing, because most developers did not use the libraries.  We
       
    81 concluded that weaker conditions might promote sharing better.
       
    82 
       
    83   However, unrestricted linking of non-free programs would deprive the
       
    84 users of those programs of all benefit from the free status of the
       
    85 libraries themselves.  This Library General Public License is intended to
       
    86 permit developers of non-free programs to use free libraries, while
       
    87 preserving your freedom as a user of such programs to change the free
       
    88 libraries that are incorporated in them.  (We have not seen how to achieve
       
    89 this as regards changes in header files, but we have achieved it as regards
       
    90 changes in the actual functions of the Library.)  The hope is that this
       
    91 will lead to faster development of free libraries.
       
    92 
       
    93   The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
       
    94 modification follow.  Pay close attention to the difference between a
       
    95 "work based on the library" and a "work that uses the library".  The
       
    96 former contains code derived from the library, while the latter only
       
    97 works together with the library.
       
    98 
       
    99   Note that it is possible for a library to be covered by the ordinary
       
   100 General Public License rather than by this special one.
       
   101 
       
   102 		  GNU LIBRARY GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
       
   103    TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION
       
   104 
       
   105   0. This License Agreement applies to any software library which
       
   106 contains a notice placed by the copyright holder or other authorized
       
   107 party saying it may be distributed under the terms of this Library
       
   108 General Public License (also called "this License").  Each licensee is
       
   109 addressed as "you".
       
   110 
       
   111   A "library" means a collection of software functions and/or data
       
   112 prepared so as to be conveniently linked with application programs
       
   113 (which use some of those functions and data) to form executables.
       
   114 
       
   115   The "Library", below, refers to any such software library or work
       
   116 which has been distributed under these terms.  A "work based on the
       
   117 Library" means either the Library or any derivative work under
       
   118 copyright law: that is to say, a work containing the Library or a
       
   119 portion of it, either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated
       
   120 straightforwardly into another language.  (Hereinafter, translation is
       
   121 included without limitation in the term "modification".)
       
   122 
       
   123   "Source code" for a work means the preferred form of the work for
       
   124 making modifications to it.  For a library, complete source code means
       
   125 all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any associated
       
   126 interface definition files, plus the scripts used to control compilation
       
   127 and installation of the library.
       
   128 
       
   129   Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not
       
   130 covered by this License; they are outside its scope.  The act of
       
   131 running a program using the Library is not restricted, and output from
       
   132 such a program is covered only if its contents constitute a work based
       
   133 on the Library (independent of the use of the Library in a tool for
       
   134 writing it).  Whether that is true depends on what the Library does
       
   135 and what the program that uses the Library does.
       
   136   
       
   137   1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Library's
       
   138 complete source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that
       
   139 you conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an
       
   140 appropriate copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact
       
   141 all the notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any
       
   142 warranty; and distribute a copy of this License along with the
       
   143 Library.
       
   144 
       
   145   You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy,
       
   146 and you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a
       
   147 fee.
       
   148 
       
   149   2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Library or any portion
       
   150 of it, thus forming a work based on the Library, and copy and
       
   151 distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1
       
   152 above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
       
   153 
       
   154     a) The modified work must itself be a software library.
       
   155 
       
   156     b) You must cause the files modified to carry prominent notices
       
   157     stating that you changed the files and the date of any change.
       
   158 
       
   159     c) You must cause the whole of the work to be licensed at no
       
   160     charge to all third parties under the terms of this License.
       
   161 
       
   162     d) If a facility in the modified Library refers to a function or a
       
   163     table of data to be supplied by an application program that uses
       
   164     the facility, other than as an argument passed when the facility
       
   165     is invoked, then you must make a good faith effort to ensure that,
       
   166     in the event an application does not supply such function or
       
   167     table, the facility still operates, and performs whatever part of
       
   168     its purpose remains meaningful.
       
   169 
       
   170     (For example, a function in a library to compute square roots has
       
   171     a purpose that is entirely well-defined independent of the
       
   172     application.  Therefore, Subsection 2d requires that any
       
   173     application-supplied function or table used by this function must
       
   174     be optional: if the application does not supply it, the square
       
   175     root function must still compute square roots.)
       
   176 
       
   177 These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole.  If
       
   178 identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Library,
       
   179 and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in
       
   180 themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those
       
   181 sections when you distribute them as separate works.  But when you
       
   182 distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based
       
   183 on the Library, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of
       
   184 this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the
       
   185 entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote
       
   186 it.
       
   187 
       
   188 Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest
       
   189 your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to
       
   190 exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or
       
   191 collective works based on the Library.
       
   192 
       
   193 In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Library
       
   194 with the Library (or with a work based on the Library) on a volume of
       
   195 a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under
       
   196 the scope of this License.
       
   197 
       
   198   3. You may opt to apply the terms of the ordinary GNU General Public
       
   199 License instead of this License to a given copy of the Library.  To do
       
   200 this, you must alter all the notices that refer to this License, so
       
   201 that they refer to the ordinary GNU General Public License, version 2,
       
   202 instead of to this License.  (If a newer version than version 2 of the
       
   203 ordinary GNU General Public License has appeared, then you can specify
       
   204 that version instead if you wish.)  Do not make any other change in
       
   205 these notices.
       
   206 
       
   207   Once this change is made in a given copy, it is irreversible for
       
   208 that copy, so the ordinary GNU General Public License applies to all
       
   209 subsequent copies and derivative works made from that copy.
       
   210 
       
   211   This option is useful when you wish to copy part of the code of
       
   212 the Library into a program that is not a library.
       
   213 
       
   214   4. You may copy and distribute the Library (or a portion or
       
   215 derivative of it, under Section 2) in object code or executable form
       
   216 under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you accompany
       
   217 it with the complete corresponding machine-readable source code, which
       
   218 must be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a
       
   219 medium customarily used for software interchange.
       
   220 
       
   221   If distribution of object code is made by offering access to copy
       
   222 from a designated place, then offering equivalent access to copy the
       
   223 source code from the same place satisfies the requirement to
       
   224 distribute the source code, even though third parties are not
       
   225 compelled to copy the source along with the object code.
       
   226 
       
   227   5. A program that contains no derivative of any portion of the
       
   228 Library, but is designed to work with the Library by being compiled or
       
   229 linked with it, is called a "work that uses the Library".  Such a
       
   230 work, in isolation, is not a derivative work of the Library, and
       
   231 therefore falls outside the scope of this License.
       
   232 
       
   233   However, linking a "work that uses the Library" with the Library
       
   234 creates an executable that is a derivative of the Library (because it
       
   235 contains portions of the Library), rather than a "work that uses the
       
   236 library".  The executable is therefore covered by this License.
       
   237 Section 6 states terms for distribution of such executables.
       
   238 
       
   239   When a "work that uses the Library" uses material from a header file
       
   240 that is part of the Library, the object code for the work may be a
       
   241 derivative work of the Library even though the source code is not.
       
   242 Whether this is true is especially significant if the work can be
       
   243 linked without the Library, or if the work is itself a library.  The
       
   244 threshold for this to be true is not precisely defined by law.
       
   245 
       
   246   If such an object file uses only numerical parameters, data
       
   247 structure layouts and accessors, and small macros and small inline
       
   248 functions (ten lines or less in length), then the use of the object
       
   249 file is unrestricted, regardless of whether it is legally a derivative
       
   250 work.  (Executables containing this object code plus portions of the
       
   251 Library will still fall under Section 6.)
       
   252 
       
   253   Otherwise, if the work is a derivative of the Library, you may
       
   254 distribute the object code for the work under the terms of Section 6.
       
   255 Any executables containing that work also fall under Section 6,
       
   256 whether or not they are linked directly with the Library itself.
       
   257 
       
   258   6. As an exception to the Sections above, you may also compile or
       
   259 link a "work that uses the Library" with the Library to produce a
       
   260 work containing portions of the Library, and distribute that work
       
   261 under terms of your choice, provided that the terms permit
       
   262 modification of the work for the customer's own use and reverse
       
   263 engineering for debugging such modifications.
       
   264 
       
   265   You must give prominent notice with each copy of the work that the
       
   266 Library is used in it and that the Library and its use are covered by
       
   267 this License.  You must supply a copy of this License.  If the work
       
   268 during execution displays copyright notices, you must include the
       
   269 copyright notice for the Library among them, as well as a reference
       
   270 directing the user to the copy of this License.  Also, you must do one
       
   271 of these things:
       
   272 
       
   273     a) Accompany the work with the complete corresponding
       
   274     machine-readable source code for the Library including whatever
       
   275     changes were used in the work (which must be distributed under
       
   276     Sections 1 and 2 above); and, if the work is an executable linked
       
   277     with the Library, with the complete machine-readable "work that
       
   278     uses the Library", as object code and/or source code, so that the
       
   279     user can modify the Library and then relink to produce a modified
       
   280     executable containing the modified Library.  (It is understood
       
   281     that the user who changes the contents of definitions files in the
       
   282     Library will not necessarily be able to recompile the application
       
   283     to use the modified definitions.)
       
   284 
       
   285     b) Accompany the work with a written offer, valid for at
       
   286     least three years, to give the same user the materials
       
   287     specified in Subsection 6a, above, for a charge no more
       
   288     than the cost of performing this distribution.
       
   289 
       
   290     c) If distribution of the work is made by offering access to copy
       
   291     from a designated place, offer equivalent access to copy the above
       
   292     specified materials from the same place.
       
   293 
       
   294     d) Verify that the user has already received a copy of these
       
   295     materials or that you have already sent this user a copy.
       
   296 
       
   297   For an executable, the required form of the "work that uses the
       
   298 Library" must include any data and utility programs needed for
       
   299 reproducing the executable from it.  However, as a special exception,
       
   300 the source code distributed need not include anything that is normally
       
   301 distributed (in either source or binary form) with the major
       
   302 components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the operating system on
       
   303 which the executable runs, unless that component itself accompanies
       
   304 the executable.
       
   305 
       
   306   It may happen that this requirement contradicts the license
       
   307 restrictions of other proprietary libraries that do not normally
       
   308 accompany the operating system.  Such a contradiction means you cannot
       
   309 use both them and the Library together in an executable that you
       
   310 distribute.
       
   311 
       
   312   7. You may place library facilities that are a work based on the
       
   313 Library side-by-side in a single library together with other library
       
   314 facilities not covered by this License, and distribute such a combined
       
   315 library, provided that the separate distribution of the work based on
       
   316 the Library and of the other library facilities is otherwise
       
   317 permitted, and provided that you do these two things:
       
   318 
       
   319     a) Accompany the combined library with a copy of the same work
       
   320     based on the Library, uncombined with any other library
       
   321     facilities.  This must be distributed under the terms of the
       
   322     Sections above.
       
   323 
       
   324     b) Give prominent notice with the combined library of the fact
       
   325     that part of it is a work based on the Library, and explaining
       
   326     where to find the accompanying uncombined form of the same work.
       
   327 
       
   328   8. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, link with, or distribute
       
   329 the Library except as expressly provided under this License.  Any
       
   330 attempt otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense, link with, or
       
   331 distribute the Library is void, and will automatically terminate your
       
   332 rights under this License.  However, parties who have received copies,
       
   333 or rights, from you under this License will not have their licenses
       
   334 terminated so long as such parties remain in full compliance.
       
   335 
       
   336   9. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not
       
   337 signed it.  However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or
       
   338 distribute the Library or its derivative works.  These actions are
       
   339 prohibited by law if you do not accept this License.  Therefore, by
       
   340 modifying or distributing the Library (or any work based on the
       
   341 Library), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and
       
   342 all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying
       
   343 the Library or works based on it.
       
   344 
       
   345   10. Each time you redistribute the Library (or any work based on the
       
   346 Library), the recipient automatically receives a license from the
       
   347 original licensor to copy, distribute, link with or modify the Library
       
   348 subject to these terms and conditions.  You may not impose any further
       
   349 restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein.
       
   350 You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to
       
   351 this License.
       
   352 
       
   353   11. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent
       
   354 infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues),
       
   355 conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
       
   356 otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
       
   357 excuse you from the conditions of this License.  If you cannot
       
   358 distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this
       
   359 License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you
       
   360 may not distribute the Library at all.  For example, if a patent
       
   361 license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Library by
       
   362 all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then
       
   363 the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to
       
   364 refrain entirely from distribution of the Library.
       
   365 
       
   366 If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under any
       
   367 particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to apply,
       
   368 and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other circumstances.
       
   369 
       
   370 It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any
       
   371 patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any
       
   372 such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the
       
   373 integrity of the free software distribution system which is
       
   374 implemented by public license practices.  Many people have made
       
   375 generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed
       
   376 through that system in reliance on consistent application of that
       
   377 system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing
       
   378 to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot
       
   379 impose that choice.
       
   380 
       
   381 This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to
       
   382 be a consequence of the rest of this License.
       
   383 
       
   384   12. If the distribution and/or use of the Library is restricted in
       
   385 certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the
       
   386 original copyright holder who places the Library under this License may add
       
   387 an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding those countries,
       
   388 so that distribution is permitted only in or among countries not thus
       
   389 excluded.  In such case, this License incorporates the limitation as if
       
   390 written in the body of this License.
       
   391 
       
   392   13. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new
       
   393 versions of the Library General Public License from time to time.
       
   394 Such new versions will be similar in spirit to the present version,
       
   395 but may differ in detail to address new problems or concerns.
       
   396 
       
   397 Each version is given a distinguishing version number.  If the Library
       
   398 specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and
       
   399 "any later version", you have the option of following the terms and
       
   400 conditions either of that version or of any later version published by
       
   401 the Free Software Foundation.  If the Library does not specify a
       
   402 license version number, you may choose any version ever published by
       
   403 the Free Software Foundation.
       
   404 
       
   405   14. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Library into other free
       
   406 programs whose distribution conditions are incompatible with these,
       
   407 write to the author to ask for permission.  For software which is
       
   408 copyrighted by the Free Software Foundation, write to the Free
       
   409 Software Foundation; we sometimes make exceptions for this.  Our
       
   410 decision will be guided by the two goals of preserving the free status
       
   411 of all derivatives of our free software and of promoting the sharing
       
   412 and reuse of software generally.
       
   413 
       
   414 			    NO WARRANTY
       
   415 
       
   416   15. BECAUSE THE LIBRARY IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO
       
   417 WARRANTY FOR THE LIBRARY, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.
       
   418 EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR
       
   419 OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE LIBRARY "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY
       
   420 KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE
       
   421 IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
       
   422 PURPOSE.  THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE
       
   423 LIBRARY IS WITH YOU.  SHOULD THE LIBRARY PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME
       
   424 THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
       
   425 
       
   426   16. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN
       
   427 WRITING WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY
       
   428 AND/OR REDISTRIBUTE THE LIBRARY AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU
       
   429 FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR
       
   430 CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE
       
   431 LIBRARY (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING
       
   432 RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A
       
   433 FAILURE OF THE LIBRARY TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER SOFTWARE), EVEN IF
       
   434 SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH
       
   435 DAMAGES.
       
   436

   439            How to Apply These Terms to Your New Libraries
       
   440 
       
   441   If you develop a new library, and you want it to be of the greatest
       
   442 possible use to the public, we recommend making it free software that
       
   443 everyone can redistribute and change.  You can do so by permitting
       
   444 redistribution under these terms (or, alternatively, under the terms of the
       
   445 ordinary General Public License).
       
   446 
       
   447   To apply these terms, attach the following notices to the library.  It is
       
   448 safest to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively
       
   449 convey the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least the
       
   450 "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.
       
   451 
       
   452     Gamin is a file and directory monitoring system defined to be
       
   453     a subset of the FAM (File Alteration Monitor) system.

   459     This library is free software; you can redistribute it and/or
       
   460     modify it under the terms of the GNU Library General Public
       
   461     License as published by the Free Software Foundation; either
       
   462     version 2 of the License, or (at your option) any later version.
       
   463 
       
   464     This library is distributed in the hope that it will be useful,
       
   465     but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of
       
   466     MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.  See the GNU
       
   467     Library General Public License for more details.
       
   468 
       
   469     You should have received a copy of the GNU Library General Public
       
   470     License along with this library; if not, write to the 
       
   471     Free Software Foundation, Inc., 59 Temple Place - Suite 330, 
       
   472     Boston, MA  02111-1307  USA.
       
   473 
       
   474 Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.
       
   475 
       
   476 You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or your
       
   477 school, if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the library, if
       
   478 necessary.  Here is a sample; alter the names:
       
   479
