+--------------------------------------+--------------------------------------+

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.

1.  **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.

2.  **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.

3.  **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:

    1.  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
    2.  under the GNU GPL, with none of the additional permissions of
        this License applicable to that copy.

4.  **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:

    1.  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.
    2.  Accompany the object code with a copy of the GNU GPL and this
        license document.

5.  **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:

    1.  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.
    2.  Accompany the Combined Work with a copy of the GNU GPL and this
        license document.
    3.  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.
    4.  Do one of the following:
        1.  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.
        2.  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.

    5.  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.)

6.  **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:

    1.  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.
    2.  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.

7.  **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.
