  14. Why Free Software?
  15. ------------------
  16. The Translate.org.za project's aim is to make language resources and software
  17. available to the speakers of that language and licensed in such a way that the
  18. resources remain Free and thus available to all the language's speakers.
  19. After all it is you, the speakers of South African English, who has actually developed
  20. it into the language that it is today.

  28. British English Wordlist
  29. ------------------------
  30. The South African English wordlist uses the same list developed for the
  31. British English spell checker. That word list itself is derived from
  32. the English word lists developed for Aspell. This list is released
  33. under the LGPL.
  34. More details of the British English dictionary project can be found here:
  35. http://en-gb.pyxidium.co.uk/dictionary
  36. From the README for the British English Myspell spell checker:
  37. This dictionary was initially based on a subset of the
  38. original English wordlist created by Kevin Atkinson for
  39. Pspell and Aspell and thus is covered by his original
  40. LGPL licence.
  41. It has been extensively updated by David Bartlett, Brian Kelk
  42. and Andrew Brown:
  43. - numerous Americanism have been removed
  44. - numerous American spellings have been corrected
  45. - missing words have been added
  46. - many errors have been corrected
  47. - compound hyphenated words have been added where appropriate
  48. Valuable inputs to this process were received from many other
  49. people - far too numerous to name. Serious thanks to you all
  50. for your greatly appreciated help.
  51. This word list is intended to be a good representation of
  52. current modern British English and thus it should be a good
  53. basis for Commonwealth English in most countries of the world
  54. outside North America.
  55. The affix file has been created completely from scratch
  56. by David Bartlett and Andrew Brown, based on the published
  57. rules for MySpell and is also provided under the LGPL.
  58. In creating the affix rules an attempt has been made to
  59. reproduce the most general rules for English word
  60. formation, rather than merely use it as a means to
  61. compress the size of the dictionary. It is hoped that this
  62. will facilitate future localisation to other variants of
  63. English.
  64. Please let David Bartlett <dwb@openoffice.org> know of any
  65. errors that you find.

  76. 3. Installation and Setup
  77. =========================
  78. Automated
  79. ---------
  80. Newer versions of OpenOffice.org have a built in macro to step you through an
  81. automatic install process.
  82. File -> Autopilot -> Install new dictionaries...
  83. If this is unavailable then download 'DicOOo.sxw' from:
  84. http://ftp.services.openoffice.org/pub/OpenOffice.org/contrib/dictionaries/dicooo/DicOOo.sxw
  85. Run the macro and follow the steps outlined. If you would like the dictionary
  86. to be available to all users then run the installation as the administrative or
  87. root user. It is best to restart OpenOffice.org after the installation.
  88. The macro operates in two modes:
  89. 1) Online - the latest dictionaries are retrieved from the OpenOffice.org
  90. website.
  91. 2) Offline - an offline dictionary pack, which you have already downloaded, is
  92. installed from the hard-drive. Offline dictionaries can be downloaded from:
  93. http://lingucomponent.openoffice.org/dictpack.html
  94. OR
  95. http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=91920&package_id=103504
  96. For more detailed instructions see:

  103. Spellchecker Selection
  104. ----------------------
  105. Once the spellchecker is installed you need to configure a few settings and
  106. perform some checks.
  107. 1) Check that the Afrikaans Spellchecker is enabled.
  108. Tools -> Options -> Language Settings -> Writing Aids
  109. In the section marked 'Available language modules' select 'Edit...'. Under
  110. the languages drop-down select Afrikaans and ensure that the 'OpenOffice.org
  111. MySpell SpellChecker' is enabled.
  112. 2) Set your default document language to Afrikaans
  113. If most of your writing is in Afrikaans then this step will ensure that
  114. documents you compose from now on are treated as Afrikaans documents. If much
  115. of your writing is in English you might want to skip this step.
  116. Tools -> Options -> Language Settings -> Languages
  117. In the section marked 'Default languages for documents' is a drop-down labelled
  118. 'Western'. Afrikaans has a tick next to it to indicate that a spellchecker is
  119. installed. Set your default language to Afrikaans.
  120. 3) Changing existing documents or paragraphs to Afrikaans
  121. Some old document might be written in Afrikaans but the document was stored
  122. indicating that the text was in English. You can indicate that this is
  123. Afrikaans text by:
  124. a) Select the relevant text (Ctrl-A selects the whole document)
  125. b) Format -> Character...
  126. Change the 'Language' drop-down to Afrikaans.
  127. 4. Contributing

  139. This software is released under the LGPL which is included here for your
  140. information.
  141. GNU LESSER GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
  142. Version 2.1, February 1999
  143. Copyright (C) 1991, 1999 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
  144. 59 Temple Place, Suite 330, Boston, MA 02111-1307 USA
  145. Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
  146. of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
  147. [This is the first released version of the Lesser GPL. It also counts
  148. as the successor of the GNU Library Public License, version 2, hence
  149. the version number 2.1.]
  150. Preamble
  151. The licenses for most software are designed to take away your
  152. freedom to share and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public
  153. Licenses are intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change
  154. free software--to make sure the software is free for all its users.
  155. This license, the Lesser General Public License, applies to some
  156. specially designated software packages--typically libraries--of the
  157. Free Software Foundation and other authors who decide to use it. You
  158. can use it too, but we suggest you first think carefully about whether
  159. this license or the ordinary General Public License is the better
  160. strategy to use in any particular case, based on the explanations below.
  161. When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom of use,
  162. not price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that
  163. you have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge
  164. for this service if you wish); that you receive source code or can get
  165. it if you want it; that you can change the software and use pieces of
  166. it in new free programs; and that you are informed that you can do
  167. these things.
  168. To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid
  169. distributors to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender these
  170. rights. These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for
  171. you if you distribute copies of the library or if you modify it.
  172. For example, if you distribute copies of the library, whether gratis
  173. or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that we gave
  174. you. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the source
  175. code. If you link other code with the library, you must provide
  176. complete object files to the recipients, so that they can relink them
  177. with the library after making changes to the library and recompiling
  178. it. And you must show them these terms so they know their rights.
  179. We protect your rights with a two-step method: (1) we copyright the
  180. library, and (2) we offer you this license, which gives you legal
  181. permission to copy, distribute and/or modify the library.
  182. To protect each distributor, we want to make it very clear that
  183. there is no warranty for the free library. Also, if the library is
  184. modified by someone else and passed on, the recipients should know
  185. that what they have is not the original version, so that the original
  186. author's reputation will not be affected by problems that might be
  187. introduced by others.
  188. Finally, software patents pose a constant threat to the existence of
  189. any free program. We wish to make sure that a company cannot
  190. effectively restrict the users of a free program by obtaining a
  191. restrictive license from a patent holder. Therefore, we insist that
  192. any patent license obtained for a version of the library must be
  193. consistent with the full freedom of use specified in this license.
  194. Most GNU software, including some libraries, is covered by the
  195. ordinary GNU General Public License. This license, the GNU Lesser
  196. General Public License, applies to certain designated libraries, and
  197. is quite different from the ordinary General Public License. We use
  198. this license for certain libraries in order to permit linking those
  199. libraries into non-free programs.
  200. When a program is linked with a library, whether statically or using
  201. a shared library, the combination of the two is legally speaking a
  202. combined work, a derivative of the original library. The ordinary
  203. General Public License therefore permits such linking only if the
  204. entire combination fits its criteria of freedom. The Lesser General
  205. Public License permits more lax criteria for linking other code with
  206. the library.
  207. We call this license the "Lesser" General Public License because it
  208. does Less to protect the user's freedom than the ordinary General
  209. Public License. It also provides other free software developers Less
  210. of an advantage over competing non-free programs. These disadvantages
  211. are the reason we use the ordinary General Public License for many
  212. libraries. However, the Lesser license provides advantages in certain
  213. special circumstances.
  214. For example, on rare occasions, there may be a special need to
  215. encourage the widest possible use of a certain library, so that it becomes
  216. a de-facto standard. To achieve this, non-free programs must be
  217. allowed to use the library. A more frequent case is that a free
  218. library does the same job as widely used non-free libraries. In this
  219. case, there is little to gain by limiting the free library to free
  220. software only, so we use the Lesser General Public License.
  221. In other cases, permission to use a particular library in non-free
  222. programs enables a greater number of people to use a large body of
  223. free software. For example, permission to use the GNU C Library in
  224. non-free programs enables many more people to use the whole GNU
  225. operating system, as well as its variant, the GNU/Linux operating
  226. system.
  227. Although the Lesser General Public License is Less protective of the
  228. users' freedom, it does ensure that the user of a program that is
  229. linked with the Library has the freedom and the wherewithal to run
  230. that program using a modified version of the Library.
  231. The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
  232. modification follow. Pay close attention to the difference between a
  233. "work based on the library" and a "work that uses the library". The
  234. former contains code derived from the library, whereas the latter must
  235. be combined with the library in order to run.
  236. GNU LESSER GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
  237. TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION
  238. 0. This License Agreement applies to any software library or other
  239. program which contains a notice placed by the copyright holder or
  240. other authorized party saying it may be distributed under the terms of
  241. this Lesser General Public License (also called "this License").
  242. Each licensee is addressed as "you".
  243. A "library" means a collection of software functions and/or data
  244. prepared so as to be conveniently linked with application programs
  245. (which use some of those functions and data) to form executables.
  246. The "Library", below, refers to any such software library or work
  247. which has been distributed under these terms. A "work based on the
  248. Library" means either the Library or any derivative work under
  249. copyright law: that is to say, a work containing the Library or a
  250. portion of it, either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated
  251. straightforwardly into another language. (Hereinafter, translation is
  252. included without limitation in the term "modification".)
  253. "Source code" for a work means the preferred form of the work for
  254. making modifications to it. For a library, complete source code means
  255. all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any associated
  256. interface definition files, plus the scripts used to control compilation
  257. and installation of the library.
  258. Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not
  259. covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of
  260. running a program using the Library is not restricted, and output from
  261. such a program is covered only if its contents constitute a work based
  262. on the Library (independent of the use of the Library in a tool for
  263. writing it). Whether that is true depends on what the Library does
  264. and what the program that uses the Library does.
  265. 1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Library's
  266. complete source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that
  267. you conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an
  268. appropriate copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact
  269. all the notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any
  270. warranty; and distribute a copy of this License along with the
  271. Library.
  272. You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy,
  273. and you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a
  274. fee.
  275. 2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Library or any portion
  276. of it, thus forming a work based on the Library, and copy and
  277. distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1
  278. above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
  279. a) The modified work must itself be a software library.
  280. b) You must cause the files modified to carry prominent notices
  281. stating that you changed the files and the date of any change.
  282. c) You must cause the whole of the work to be licensed at no
  283. charge to all third parties under the terms of this License.
  284. d) If a facility in the modified Library refers to a function or a
  285. table of data to be supplied by an application program that uses
  286. the facility, other than as an argument passed when the facility
  287. is invoked, then you must make a good faith effort to ensure that,
  288. in the event an application does not supply such function or
  289. table, the facility still operates, and performs whatever part of
  290. its purpose remains meaningful.
  291. (For example, a function in a library to compute square roots has
  292. a purpose that is entirely well-defined independent of the
  293. application. Therefore, Subsection 2d requires that any
  294. application-supplied function or table used by this function must
  295. be optional: if the application does not supply it, the square
  296. root function must still compute square roots.)
  297. These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If
  298. identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Library,
  299. and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in
  300. themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those
  301. sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you
  302. distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based
  303. on the Library, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of
  304. this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the
  305. entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote
  306. it.
  307. Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest
  308. your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to
  309. exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or
  310. collective works based on the Library.
  311. In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Library
  312. with the Library (or with a work based on the Library) on a volume of
  313. a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under
  314. the scope of this License.
  315. 3. You may opt to apply the terms of the ordinary GNU General Public
  316. License instead of this License to a given copy of the Library. To do
  317. this, you must alter all the notices that refer to this License, so
  318. that they refer to the ordinary GNU General Public License, version 2,
  319. instead of to this License. (If a newer version than version 2 of the
  320. ordinary GNU General Public License has appeared, then you can specify
  321. that version instead if you wish.) Do not make any other change in
  322. these notices.
  323. Once this change is made in a given copy, it is irreversible for
  324. that copy, so the ordinary GNU General Public License applies to all
  325. subsequent copies and derivative works made from that copy.
  326. This option is useful when you wish to copy part of the code of
  327. the Library into a program that is not a library.
  328. 4. You may copy and distribute the Library (or a portion or
  329. derivative of it, under Section 2) in object code or executable form
  330. under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you accompany
  331. it with the complete corresponding machine-readable source code, which
  332. must be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a
  333. medium customarily used for software interchange.
  334. If distribution of object code is made by offering access to copy
  335. from a designated place, then offering equivalent access to copy the
  336. source code from the same place satisfies the requirement to
  337. distribute the source code, even though third parties are not
  338. compelled to copy the source along with the object code.
  339. 5. A program that contains no derivative of any portion of the
  340. Library, but is designed to work with the Library by being compiled or
  341. linked with it, is called a "work that uses the Library". Such a
  342. work, in isolation, is not a derivative work of the Library, and
  343. therefore falls outside the scope of this License.
  344. However, linking a "work that uses the Library" with the Library
  345. creates an executable that is a derivative of the Library (because it
  346. contains portions of the Library), rather than a "work that uses the
  347. library". The executable is therefore covered by this License.
  348. Section 6 states terms for distribution of such executables.
  349. When a "work that uses the Library" uses material from a header file
  350. that is part of the Library, the object code for the work may be a
  351. derivative work of the Library even though the source code is not.
  352. Whether this is true is especially significant if the work can be
  353. linked without the Library, or if the work is itself a library. The
  354. threshold for this to be true is not precisely defined by law.
  355. If such an object file uses only numerical parameters, data
  356. structure layouts and accessors, and small macros and small inline
  357. functions (ten lines or less in length), then the use of the object
  358. file is unrestricted, regardless of whether it is legally a derivative
  359. work. (Executables containing this object code plus portions of the
  360. Library will still fall under Section 6.)
  361. Otherwise, if the work is a derivative of the Library, you may
  362. distribute the object code for the work under the terms of Section 6.
  363. Any executables containing that work also fall under Section 6,
  364. whether or not they are linked directly with the Library itself.
  365. 6. As an exception to the Sections above, you may also combine or
  366. link a "work that uses the Library" with the Library to produce a
  367. work containing portions of the Library, and distribute that work
  368. under terms of your choice, provided that the terms permit
  369. modification of the work for the customer's own use and reverse
  370. engineering for debugging such modifications.
  371. You must give prominent notice with each copy of the work that the
  372. Library is used in it and that the Library and its use are covered by
  373. this License. You must supply a copy of this License. If the work
  374. during execution displays copyright notices, you must include the
  375. copyright notice for the Library among them, as well as a reference
  376. directing the user to the copy of this License. Also, you must do one
  377. of these things:
  378. a) Accompany the work with the complete corresponding
  379. machine-readable source code for the Library including whatever
  380. changes were used in the work (which must be distributed under
  381. Sections 1 and 2 above); and, if the work is an executable linked
  382. with the Library, with the complete machine-readable "work that
  383. uses the Library", as object code and/or source code, so that the
  384. user can modify the Library and then relink to produce a modified
  385. executable containing the modified Library. (It is understood
  386. that the user who changes the contents of definitions files in the
  387. Library will not necessarily be able to recompile the application
  388. to use the modified definitions.)
  389. b) Use a suitable shared library mechanism for linking with the
  390. Library. A suitable mechanism is one that (1) uses at run time a
  391. copy of the library already present on the user's computer system,
  392. rather than copying library functions into the executable, and (2)
  393. will operate properly with a modified version of the library, if
  394. the user installs one, as long as the modified version is
  395. interface-compatible with the version that the work was made with.
  396. c) Accompany the work with a written offer, valid for at
  397. least three years, to give the same user the materials
  398. specified in Subsection 6a, above, for a charge no more
  399. than the cost of performing this distribution.
  400. d) If distribution of the work is made by offering access to copy
  401. from a designated place, offer equivalent access to copy the above
  402. specified materials from the same place.
  403. e) Verify that the user has already received a copy of these
  404. materials or that you have already sent this user a copy.
  405. For an executable, the required form of the "work that uses the
  406. Library" must include any data and utility programs needed for
  407. reproducing the executable from it. However, as a special exception,
  408. the materials to be distributed need not include anything that is
  409. normally distributed (in either source or binary form) with the major
  410. components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the operating system on
  411. which the executable runs, unless that component itself accompanies
  412. the executable.
  413. It may happen that this requirement contradicts the license
  414. restrictions of other proprietary libraries that do not normally
  415. accompany the operating system. Such a contradiction means you cannot
  416. use both them and the Library together in an executable that you
  417. distribute.
  418. 7. You may place library facilities that are a work based on the
  419. Library side-by-side in a single library together with other library
  420. facilities not covered by this License, and distribute such a combined
  421. library, provided that the separate distribution of the work based on
  422. the Library and of the other library facilities is otherwise
  423. permitted, and provided that you do these two things:
  424. a) Accompany the combined library with a copy of the same work
  425. based on the Library, uncombined with any other library
  426. facilities. This must be distributed under the terms of the
  427. Sections above.
  428. b) Give prominent notice with the combined library of the fact
  429. that part of it is a work based on the Library, and explaining
  430. where to find the accompanying uncombined form of the same work.
  431. 8. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, link with, or distribute
  432. the Library except as expressly provided under this License. Any
  433. attempt otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense, link with, or
  434. distribute the Library is void, and will automatically terminate your
  435. rights under this License. However, parties who have received copies,
  436. or rights, from you under this License will not have their licenses
  437. terminated so long as such parties remain in full compliance.
  438. 9. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not
  439. signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or
  440. distribute the Library or its derivative works. These actions are
  441. prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by
  442. modifying or distributing the Library (or any work based on the
  443. Library), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and
  444. all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying
  445. the Library or works based on it.
  446. 10. Each time you redistribute the Library (or any work based on the
  447. Library), the recipient automatically receives a license from the
  448. original licensor to copy, distribute, link with or modify the Library
  449. subject to these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further
  450. restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein.
  451. You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties with
  452. this License.
  453. 11. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent
  454. infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues),
  455. conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
  456. otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
  457. excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot
  458. distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this
  459. License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you
  460. may not distribute the Library at all. For example, if a patent
  461. license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Library by
  462. all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then
  463. the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to
  464. refrain entirely from distribution of the Library.
  465. If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under any
  466. particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to apply,
  467. and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other circumstances.
  468. It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any
  469. patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any
  470. such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the
  471. integrity of the free software distribution system which is
  472. implemented by public license practices. Many people have made
  473. generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed
  474. through that system in reliance on consistent application of that
  475. system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing
  476. to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot
  477. impose that choice.
  478. This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to
  479. be a consequence of the rest of this License.
  480. 12. If the distribution and/or use of the Library is restricted in
  481. certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the
  482. original copyright holder who places the Library under this License may add
  483. an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding those countries,
  484. so that distribution is permitted only in or among countries not thus
  485. excluded. In such case, this License incorporates the limitation as if
  486. written in the body of this License.
  487. 13. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new
  488. versions of the Lesser General Public License from time to time.
  489. Such new versions will be similar in spirit to the present version,
  490. but may differ in detail to address new problems or concerns.
  491. Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Library
  492. specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and
  493. "any later version", you have the option of following the terms and
  494. conditions either of that version or of any later version published by
  495. the Free Software Foundation. If the Library does not specify a
  496. license version number, you may choose any version ever published by
  497. the Free Software Foundation.
  498. 14. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Library into other free
  499. programs whose distribution conditions are incompatible with these,
  500. write to the author to ask for permission. For software which is
  501. copyrighted by the Free Software Foundation, write to the Free
  502. Software Foundation; we sometimes make exceptions for this. Our
  503. decision will be guided by the two goals of preserving the free status
  504. of all derivatives of our free software and of promoting the sharing
  505. and reuse of software generally.
  506. NO WARRANTY
  507. 15. BECAUSE THE LIBRARY IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO
  508. WARRANTY FOR THE LIBRARY, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.
  509. EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR
  510. OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE LIBRARY "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY
  511. KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE
  512. IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
  513. PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE
  514. LIBRARY IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE LIBRARY PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME
  515. THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
  516. 16. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN
  517. WRITING WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY
  518. AND/OR REDISTRIBUTE THE LIBRARY AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU
  519. FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR
  520. CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE
  521. LIBRARY (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING
  522. RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A
  523. FAILURE OF THE LIBRARY TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER SOFTWARE), EVEN IF
  524. SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH
  525. DAMAGES.
  526. END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
  527. How to Apply These Terms to Your New Libraries
  528. If you develop a new library, and you want it to be of the greatest
  529. possible use to the public, we recommend making it free software that
  530. everyone can redistribute and change. You can do so by permitting
  531. redistribution under these terms (or, alternatively, under the terms of the
  532. ordinary General Public License).
  533. To apply these terms, attach the following notices to the library. It is
  534. safest to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively
  535. convey the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least the
  536. "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.
  537. <one line to give the library's name and a brief idea of what it does.>
  538. Copyright (C) <year> <name of author>
  539. This library is free software; you can redistribute it and/or
  540. modify it under the terms of the GNU Lesser General Public
  541. License as published by the Free Software Foundation; either
  542. version 2.1 of the License, or (at your option) any later version.
  543. This library is distributed in the hope that it will be useful,
  544. but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of
  545. MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. See the GNU
  546. Lesser General Public License for more details.
  547. You should have received a copy of the GNU Lesser General Public
  548. License along with this library; if not, write to the Free Software
  549. Foundation, Inc., 59 Temple Place, Suite 330, Boston, MA 02111-1307 USA
  550. Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.
  551. You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or your
  552. school, if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the library, if
  553. necessary. Here is a sample; alter the names:
  554. Yoyodyne, Inc., hereby disclaims all copyright interest in the
  555. library `Frob' (a library for tweaking knobs) written by James Random Hacker.
  556. <signature of Ty Coon>, 1 April 1990
  557. Ty Coon, President of Vice
  558. That's all there is to it!
