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 machinereadable 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.

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.

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.

As an exception to the Sections above, you
may also compile or link a "work that uses
the Library" with the Library to produce a
