r You should purchase necessary components to prevent the TV from tipping over
(when not using a wall mount).
r Image shown may differ from your TV.
We recommend that you set up the TV close to a wall so it cannot fall over if pushed
backwards.
Additionally, we recommend that the TV be attached to a wall so it cannot be pulled in
a forward direction, potentially causing injury or damaging the product.
Caution: Please make sure that children don’t climb on or hang from the TV.
r Insert the eye-bolts (or TV brackets and bolts) to tighten the product to the wall as
shown in the picture.
* If your product has the bolts in the eye-bolts position before inserting the eye-bolts,
loosen the bolts.
* Insert the eye-bolts or TV brackets/bolts and tighten them securely in the upper
holes.
Secure the wall brackets with the bolts (sold separately) to the wall. Match the height
of the bracket that is mounted on the wall to the holes in the product.
Ensure the eye-bolts or brackets are tightened securely.
r Use a sturdy rope (sold separately) to tie the product. It is safer
to tie the rope so it becomes horizontal between the wall and the

a mixture of lukewarm water and a little fabric softener or dish washing detergent.
Wring the cloth until it’s almost dry, and then use it to wipe the screen.
Make sure the excess water is off the screen, and then let it air-dry before you turn
on your TV.
Cleaning the Cabinet
r To remove dirt or dust, wipe the cabinet with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth.
r Please be sure not to use a wet cloth.
Extended Absence
CAUTION
a If you expect to leave your TV dormant for a long time (such as a vacation), it’s
a good idea to unplug the power cord to protect against possible damage from

Open Source License
GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
Version 2, June 1991
Copyright (C) 1989, 1991 Free Software
Foundation, Inc., 51 Franklin Street, Fifth
Floor, Boston, MA 02110-1301 USA
Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute
verbatim copies of this license document,
but changing it is not allowed.
Preamble
The licenses for most software are designed
to take away your freedom to share and
change it. By contrast, the GNU General
Public License is intended to guarantee
your freedom to share and change free
software - to make sure the software is free
for all its users. This General Public License
applies to most of the Free Software
Foundation’s software and to any other
program whose authors commit to using
it. (Some other free software foundation
software is covered by the GNU Lesser
General Public License instead.) You can
apply it to your programs, too.
When we speak of free software, we are
referring to freedom, 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 or use pieces of
it in new free programs; and that you know
you can do these things.
To protect your rights, we need to make
restrictions that forbid anyone to deny you
these rights or to ask you to surrender
the rights. These restrictions translate
to certain responsibilities for you if you
distribute copies of the software, or if you
modify it.
For example, if you distribute copies of such
a program, whether gratis or for a fee, you
must give the recipients all the rights that
you have. You must make sure that they,
too, receive or can get the source code.
And you must show them these terms so
they know their rights.
We protect your rights with two steps:
(1) copyright the software, and (2) offer
you this license which gives you legal
permission to copy, distribute and/or
modify the software.
Also, for each author’s protection and ours,
we want to make certain that everyone
understands that there is no warranty for
this free software. If the software is modified
by someone else and passed on, we want
its recipients to know that what they have
is not the original, so that any problems
introduced by others will not reflect on the
original authors’ reputations.
Finally, any free program is threatened
constantly by software patents. We wish to
avoid the danger that redistributors of a
free program will individually obtain patent
licenses, in effect making the program
proprietary. To prevent this, we have made
it clear that any patent must be licensed
for everyone’s free use or not licensed at
all.
The precise terms and conditions for
copying, distribution and modification
follow.
GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR
COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND
MODIFICATION
0. This license applies to any program
or other work which contains a notice
placed by the copyright holder saying
it may be distributed under the terms
of this General Public License. The
“Program”, below, refers to any such
program or work, and a “work based on
the Program” means either the Program
or any derivative work under copyright
law: that is to say, a work containing the
Program or a portion of it, either verbatim
or with modifications and/or translated
into another language. (Hereinafter,
translation is included without limitation
in the term “modification”.) Each licensee
is addressed as “you”.
Activities other than copying, distribution
and modification are not covered by
this license; they are outside its scope.
The act of running the Program is not
restricted, and the output from the
program is covered only if its contents
constitute a work based on the program
(independent of having been made by
running the program). Whether that
is true depends on what the program
does.
48
APPENDIX
1. You may copy and distribute verbatim
copies of the program’s 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 give any other
recipients of the program a copy of this
license along with the Program.
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 program or any portion of it,
thus forming a work based on the
Program, 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) You must cause the modified files to
carry prominent notices stating that
you changed the files and the date of
any change.
b) You must cause any work that you
distribute or publish, that in whole or
in part contains or is derived from the
Program or any part there of, to be
licensed as a whole at no charge to all
third parties under the terms of this
license.
c) If the modified program normally
reads commands interactively when
run, you must cause it, when started
running for such interactive use in
the most ordinary way, to print or
display an announcement including
an appropriate copyright notice and
a notice that there is no warranty
(or else, saying that you provide
a warranty) and that users may
redistribute the program under these
conditions, and telling the user how to
view a copy of this license. (Exception:
if the Program itself is interactive
but does not normally print such an
announcement, your work based on
the Program is not required to print
an announcement.)
These requirements apply to the
modified work as a whole. If identifiable
sections of that work are not derived
from the Program, 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
Program, 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 program.
In addition, mere aggregation of another
work not based on the program with
the Program (or with a work based on
the program) on a volume of a storage
or distribution medium does not bring
the other work under the scope of this
license.
3. You may copy and distribute the
program (or a work based on it, under
section 2) in object code or executable
form under the terms of sections 1 and
2 above provided that you also do one
of the following:
a) 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; or,
b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid
for at least three years, to give any third
party, for a charge no more than your
cost of physically performing source
distribution, a complete machine-
readable copy of the corresponding
source code, to be distributed under
the terms of sections 1 and 2 above
on a medium customarily used for
software interchange; or,
c) Accompany it with the information
you received as to the offer to
distribute corresponding source code.
(This alternative is allowed only for
noncommercial distribution and only
if you received the program in object
code or executable form with such
an offer, in accord with Subsection b
above.)
The source code for a work means the
preferred form of the work for making
modifications to it. For an executable
work, complete source code means
all the source code for all modules it
49
APPENDIX
contains, plus any associated interface
definition files, plus the scripts used
to control compilation and installation
of the executable. However, as a
special exception, the source code
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.
If distribution of executable or 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 counts as
distribution of the source code, even
though third parties are not compelled
to copy the source along with the object
code.
4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense,
or distribute the Program except as
expressly provided under this license.
Any attempt otherwise to copy, modify,
sublicense or distribute the Program 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.
5. 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
Program or its derivative works. These
actions are prohibited by law if you do
not accept this license. Therefore, by
modifying or distributing the program
(or any work based on the program), you
indicate your acceptance of this license
to do so, and all its terms and conditions
for copying, distributing or modifying
the program or works based on it.
6. Each time you redistribute the program
(or any work based on the Program),
the recipient automatically receives a
license from the original licensor to
copy, distribute or modify the Program
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 to this license.
7. 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 program at all. For
example, if a patent license would not
permit royalty-free redistribution of the
program 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 program.
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.
8. If the distribution and/or use of the
program is restricted in certain countries
either by patents or by copyrighted
interfaces, the original copyright holder
who places the program 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.
9. The Free Software Foundation may
publish revised and/or new versions of
the General Public License from time to
time. Such new versions will be similar
50
APPENDIX
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 program 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 program
does not specify a version number of
this license, you may choose any version
ever published by the Free Software
Foundation.
10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the
program into other free programs whose
distribution conditions are different,
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
11. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED
FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO
WARRANTY FOR THE PROGRAM,
TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY
APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN
OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING
THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/
OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE
THE PROGRAM “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 PROGRAM IS WITH YOU.
SHOULD THE PROGRAM PROVE
DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST
OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING,
REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
12. 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 PROGRAM AS
PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO
YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY
GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR
CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING
OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO
USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT

OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR
THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE
PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY
OTHER PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH
HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS
BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY
OF SUCH DAMAGES.
END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
How to apply these terms to your new
programs
If you develop a new program, and you
want it to be of the greatest possible use
to the public, the best way to achieve this
is to make it free software which everyone
can redistribute and change under these
terms.
To do so, attach the following notices to the
program. It is safest to attach them to the
start of each source file to most effectively
convey the exclusion of warranty; and each
file should have at least the “copyright”
line and a pointer to where the full notice
is found.
one line to give the program’s name and a
brief idea of what it does.

that it will be useful, but WITHOUT ANY

Also add information on how to contact
you by electronic and paper mail.
If the program is interactive, make it output
a short notice like this when it starts in an

interactive mode:

type ‘show w’. This is free software, and you
are welcome to redistribute it under certain

The hypothetical commands ‘show w’ and
‘show c’ should show the appropriate parts
of the General Public License. Of course,
the commands you use may be called
something other than ‘show w’ and ‘show

menu items-whatever suits your program.
You should also get your employer (if you
work as a programmer) or your school, if
any, to sign a “copyright disclaimer” for the
program, if necessary.
Here is a sample; alter the names:

This General Public License does not
permit incorporating your program into
proprietary programs. If your program is
a subroutine library, you may consider it
more useful to permit linking proprietary
applications with the library. If this is what
you want to do, use the GNU Lesser General
Public License instead of this license
GNU LESSER GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
Version 2.1, February 1999
Copyright (C) 1991, 1999 Free Software
Foundation, Inc. 51 Franklin Street, Fifth
Floor, Boston, MA 02110-1301 USA
Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute
verbatim copies of this license document,
but changing it is not allowed.
[This is the first released version of the
Lesser GPL. It also counts as the successor
of the GNU Library Public License, version
2, hence the version number 2.1.]
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
52
APPENDIX
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 versionof
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.
GNU LESSER GENERAL PUBLIC
LICENSE
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 license
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
53
APPENDIX
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 licenses 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.
54
APPENDIX
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
executable.
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
accessories, 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. (Executable
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 executable 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
55
APPENDIX
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 6, 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
56
APPENDIX
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 license
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,

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,

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 everyone can redistribute
and change. You can do so by permitting
redistribution under these terms (or,
alternatively, under the terms of the
ordinary General Public License).
To apply these terms, attach the following
notices to the library. It is safest to attach
them to the start of each source file to
most effectively convey the exclusion of
warranty;
and each file should have at least the
“copyright” line and a pointer to where the
full notice is found.
one line to give the library’s name and a
brief idea of what it does.

3. Distribution Obligations.
3.1. Application of license.
The modifications which You create or
to which you contribute are governed
by the terms of this license, including
without limitation section 2.2. The
source code version of covered code
may be distributed only under the terms
of this license or a future version of this
license released under section 6.1, and
you must include a copy of this license
with every copy of the source code you
distribute. You may not offer or impose
any terms on any source code version
that alters or restricts the applicable
version of this license or the recipients’
rights hereunder. However, you may
include an additional document offering
the additional rights described in section
3.5.
3.2. Availability of source code.
Any modification which you create or
to which you contribute must be made
available in source code form under
the terms of this license either on the
same media as an executable version or
via an accepted electronic distribution
mechanism to anyone to whom you
made an executable version available;
and if made available via electronic
distribution mechanism, must remain
available for at least twelve (12) months
after the date it initially became
available, or at least six (6) months after
a subsequent version of that particular
modification has been made available to
such recipients. You are responsible for
ensuring that the source code version
60
APPENDIX
remains available even if the electronic
distribution mechanism is maintained
by a third party.
3.3. Description of modifications.
You must cause all covered code to
which you contribute to contain a
file documenting the changes You
made to create that covered code
and the date of any change. You must
include a prominent statement that
the modification is derived, directly or
indirectly, from original code provided
by the initial developer and including
the name of the initial developer in (a)
the source code, and (b) in any notice
in an executable version or related
documentation in which you describe
the origin or ownership of the covered
code.
3.4. Intellectual property matters
(a) Third party claims.
If contributor has knowledge that a
license under a third party’s intellectual
property rights is required to exercise
the rights granted by such contributor
under sections 2.1 or 2.2, contributor
must include a text file with the source
code distribution titled “LEGAL” which
describes the claim and the party
making the claim in sufficient detail that
a recipient will know whom to contact.
If contributor obtains such knowledge
after the modification is made available
as described in section 3.2, contributor
shall promptly modify the LEGAL
file in all copies contributor makes
available thereafter and shall take other
steps (such as notifying appropriate
mailing lists or newsgroups) reasonably
calculated to inform those who received
the covered code that new knowledge
has been obtained.
(b) Contributor APIs.
If contributor’s modifications include an
application programming interface and
contributor has knowledge of patent
licenses which are reasonably necessary
to implement that API, contributor must
also include this information in the
LEGAL file.
(c) Representations.
contributor represents that, except
as disclosed pursuant to section
3.4(a) above, contributor believes
that contributor’s modifications are
contributor’s original creation(s) and/or
contributor has sufficient rights to grant
the rights conveyed by this license.
3.5. Required notices.
You must duplicate the notice in exhibit
A in each file of the source code. If it
is not possible to put such notice in a
particular source code file due to its
structure, then You must include such
notice in a location (such as a relevant
directory) where a user would be likely
to look for such a notice. If You created
one or more modification(s), you may
add your name as a contributor to
the notice described in exhibit A. you
must also duplicate this license in any
documentation for the source code
where You describe recipients’ rights
or ownership rights relating to covered
code. You may choose to offer, and
to charge a fee for, warranty, support,
indemnity or liability obligations to one
or more recipients of covered code.
However, you may do so only on your
own behalf, and not on behalf of the
Initial developer or any contributor.
You must make it absolutely clear than
any such warranty, support, indemnity or
liability obligation is offered by you alone,
and You hereby agree to indemnify the
Initial developer and every contributor
for any liability incurred by the Initial
developer or such contributor as a
result of warranty, support, indemnity or
liability terms you offer.
3.6. Distribution of executable versions.
You may distribute covered code
in executable form only if the
requirements of section 3.1-3.5 have
been met for that covered code, and
if you include a notice stating that the
source code version of the covered
code is available under the terms of
this license, including a description of
how and where you have fulfilled the
obligations of section 3.2. The notice
must be conspicuously included in any
notice in an executable version, related
documentation or collateral in which
you describe recipients’ rights relating
to the covered code. You may distribute
the executable version of covered code
or ownership rights under a license of
your choice, which may contain terms
different from this license, provided that
you are in compliance with the terms of
this license and that the license for the
executable version does not attempt
to limit or alter the recipient’s rights in
the source code version from the rights
set forth in this license. If you distribute
61
APPENDIX
the executable version under a different
license you must make it absolutely clear
that any terms which differ from this
license are offered by you alone, not by
the Initial developer or any contributor.
You hereby agree to indemnify the initial
developer and every contributor for any
liability incurred by the initial developer
or such contributor as a result of any
such terms You offer.
3.7. Larger works.
You may create a larger work by
combining covered code with other
code not governed by the terms of this
license and distribute the larger work
as a single product. In such a case, you
must make sure the requirements of
this license are fulfilled for the covered
code.
4. Inability to comply due to statute or
regulation.
If it is impossible for you to comply with
any of the terms of this license with
respect to some or all of the covered
code due to statute, judicial order, or
regulation then you must: (a) comply
with the terms of this license to the
maximum extent possible; and (b)
describe the limitations and the code
they affect. Such description must be
included in the LEGAL file described in
section 3.4 and must be included with all
distributions of the source code. Except
to the extent prohibited by statute or
regulation, such description must be
sufficiently detailed for a recipient of
ordinary skill to be able to understand
it.
5. Application of this license.
This license applies to code to which the
initial developer has attached the notice
in exhibit A and to related covered
code.
6. Versions of the license.
6.1. New versions.
Netscape communications corporation
(“Netscape”) may publish revised and/
or new versions of the license from time
to time. Each version will be given a
distinguishing version number.
6.2. Effect of new versions.
Once covered code has been published
under a particular version of the license,
you may always continue to use it under
the terms of that version. You may also
choose to use such covered code under
the terms of any subsequent version of
the license published by netscape. No
one other than netscape has the right to
modify the terms applicable to covered
code created under this license.
6.3. Derivative works.
If You create or use a modified version
of this license (which you may only do
in order to apply it to code which is
not already covered code governed by
this license), You must (a) rename Your
license so that the phrases “Mozilla”,
“MOZILLAPL”, “MOZPL”, “Netscape”,
“MPL”, “NPL” or any confusingly similar
phrase do not appear in your license
(except to note that your license differs
from this license) and (b) otherwise
make it clear that Your version of the
license contains terms which differ from
the Mozilla Public license and netscape
Public License. (Filling in the name of
the initial developer, original code or
contributor in the notice described in
exhibit A shall not of themselves be
deemed to be modifications of this
license.)

UNDER THIS LICENSE ON AN “AS
IS” BASIS, WITHOUT WARRANTY
OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED
OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, WITHOUT
LIMITATION, WARRANTIES THAT

DEFECTS, MERCHANTABLE, FIT FOR
A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR NON-
INFRINGING. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO
THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE
OF THE COVERED CODE IS WITH
YOU. SHOULD ANY COVERED CODE
PROVE DEFECTIVE IN ANY RESPECT,
YOU (NOT THE INITIAL DEVELOPER
OR ANY OTHER CONTRIBUTOR)
ASSUME THE COST OF ANY
NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR
CORRECTION. THIS DISCLAIMER
OF WARRANTY CONSTITUTES AN
ESSENTIAL PART OF THIS LICENSE.
NO USE OF ANY COVERED CODE IS
AUTHORIZED HEREUNDER EXCEPT
UNDER THIS DISCLAIMER.
8. TERMINATION.
8.1. This license and the rights granted
hereunder will terminate automatically if
you fail to comply with terms herein and
62
APPENDIX
fail to cure such breach within 30 days
of becoming aware of the breach. All
sublicenses to the covered code which
are properly granted shall survive any
termination of this license. Provisions
which, by their nature, must remain in
effect beyond the termination of this
license shall survive.
8.2. If you initiate litigation by asserting a
patent infringement
claim (excluding declatory judgment
actions) against initial developer or
a contributor (the initial developer or
contributor against whom you file such
action is referred to as “Participant”)
alleging that:
(a) such participant’s contributor version
directly or indirectly infringes any
patent, then any and all rights granted
by such participant to you under
sections 2.1 and/or 2.2 of this license
shall, upon 60 days notice from
Participant terminate prospectively,
unless if within 60 days after receipt
of notice you either: (i) agree in
writing to pay participant a mutually
agreeable reasonable royalty for your
past and future use of modifications
made by such participant, or (ii)
withdraw your litigation claim with
respect to the contributor version
against such participant. If within 60
days of notice, a reasonable royalty
and payment arrangement are not
mutually agreed upon in writing by
the parties or the litigation claim is
not withdrawn, the rights granted by
participant to you under sections 2.1
and/or 2.2 automatically terminate at
the expiration of the 60 day notice
period specified above.
(b) any software, hardware, or device, other
than such participant’s contributor
Version, directly or indirectly infringes
any patent, then any rights granted
to You by such participant under
sections 2.1(b) and 2.2(b) are revoked
effective as of the date you first
made, used, sold, distributed, or had
made, modifications made by that
participant.
8.3. If you assert a patent infringement
claim against participant alleging
that such participant’s contributor
version directly or indirectly infringes
any patent where such claim is
resolved (such as by license or
settlement) prior to the initiation of
patent infringement litigation, then
the reasonable value of the licenses
granted by such participant under
sections 2.1 or 2.2 shall be taken into
account in determining the amount
or value of any payment or license.
8.4. In the event of termination under
sections 8.1 or 8.2 above, all end
user license agreements (excluding
distributors and resellers) which
have been validly granted by you or
any distributor hereunder prior to
termination shall survive termination.
9. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY.
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES AND
UNDER NO LEGAL THEORY, WHETHER
TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE),
CONTRACT, OR OTHERWISE, SHALL
YOU, THE INITIAL DEVELOPER, ANY
OTHER CONTRIBUTOR, OR ANY
DISTRIBUTOR OF COVERED CODE,OR
