 Device description

5 Device description

5.1 General
The X-ray unit (Variable Product__Name) is intended for the X-ray inspection of hand baggage and
objects of similar size.
The X-ray unit generates an X-ray image which gives information about the content of the object. By
evaluating the X-ray image, the time-consuming manual opening and searching of objects will not be
required in many cases.
The X-ray unit (Variable Product__Name) is mainly intended for use in so-called critical infrastruc-
tures, e.g. prisons, courthouses and buildings with high symbolic value.

5.2 Functional principle

5.2.1 Basic principle

X-rays are generated and penetrate an object to be inspected. While passing through the object, the
radiation is attenuated. Materials with a high density will more strongly attenuate the X-ray beam
than materials with lower density. By means of the remaining radiation that reaches the radiation-
sensitive detectors, an image can be created representing the content of the object.

5.2.2 Geometry
Below you see the arrangement of the most important components inside the X-ray unit:

 Detectors (detector line)
 Fan-shaped X-ray beam

Functional principle

5.2.3 Scanning process

The operating personnel place an object to be inspected on the conveyor of the X-ray unit and start
the scanning process. The conveyor  transports the object to be inspected through the lead curtain
into the tunnel of the X-ray unit.

Fig. 7: Scanning process - phase 1

Once the object has passed the lead curtain, it is detected by the light barrier  in the tunnel. The
scanning process is being prepared while the conveyor is continuously conveying the object further.

Fig. 8: Scanning process - phase 2

The X-ray generator  is switched on and emits X-rays . At the same time, the radiation indicators
light up. In the tunnel, the X-rays pass through the object and finally hit the detector line . The cre-
ated X-ray image scrolls onto the screen  in real time.

Fig. 9: Scanning process - phase 3

Once the object has completely passed the beam plane, the X-ray generator is switched off. The ob-
ject is conveyed out of the tunnel. The complete X-ray image of the object is displayed on the screen.
The scanning process is terminated.

direction but also in the opposite direction.

5.4.2 Big transport castors

The big transport castors allow the X-ray unit[OPTION] to be moved over medium distances within a
building without the need for industrial trucks.

5.4.3 Extended image storage (EIS)

By adding an internal hard disk, the Extended Image Storage EIS[OPTION] increases the image mem-
ory of the X-ray unit. This way, a lot more X-ray images can be stored on the X-ray unit.

5.4.4 X-ACT
X-ACT[OPTION] automatically highlights suspect items in the X-ray image. The type of highlighting is
configurable.

5.4.5 Zoom interpolation

The Zoom interpolation[OPTION] provides an improved representation of the magnified sections.

5.4.6 Opti-Zoom
Opti-Zoom[OPTION] magnifies the X-ray image of the object to the display size.

5.4.7 HI-TIP
HI-TIP (Threat Image Projection)[OPTION] increases the alertness of the image analyst (screener) by
automatically projecting fictitious X-ray images of dangerous items at random intervals on the
screen.

26 95595555EN - 14/03/2017 - Smiths Detection

 Device description

The projected dangerous items are either contained in fictitious objects (combined threat images),
or they are projected inconspicuously into real X-ray images of objects.
The image analyst’s task is to detect dangerous or suspect items within an adjustable time span, and
to react as if it were a real suspicion (press key ).

INFORMATION
The real X-ray images together with the detected dangerous items are automatically
stored under category TIP/RECOGN.OBJECTS* by the IMS Image Store System. You can
recall these images using the IMS Image Store System.

( Section Hi-TIP[OPTION] Page 92)

5.4.8 SDTS
Using the SDTS[OPTION] (Smiths Detection Training System), inspection processes can be simulated
and trained in this way. Stored X-ray images of objects are thus recalled and displayed on the screen
in such a way as if real objects had just now been scanned in the X-ray unit.
X-ray images which contain dangerous items are also recalled at random intervals.
The recalled dangerous items are either contained in fictitious objects (combined threat images), or
they are projected inconspicuously into the existing X-ray images (basic images).
The image analyst’s task is to detect dangerous or suspect items within an adjustable time span, and
to react as if it were a real suspicion (press key ).
Statistics are kept on the operators’ detection rates which can be viewed by supervisor personnel.

12.2 Carry out an inspection

Depending on the requirements, the X-ray unit can be used for the occasional inspection of objects
(single scan), or the X-ray unit can be used for serial scanning, i.e. while the object scanned last has
not yet left the conveyor, the next object is already placed on the conveyor (serial scan).
Please find examples of instructions for a single scan and for a serial scan in the following. Please
note that the behaviour of the X-ray unit can be adapted to the specific requirements by the supervi-
sor personnel.
The X-ray unit is available with options and software extensions. These options can have an effect on
the operating sequences described here.

 Operation

( Section 12.2.3 Options changing the operating sequence Page 91) shows the modifications to the
operating sequence caused by the respective options.

12.2.1 Single scan

A single scan is carried out as described in the following.

INFORMATION
There is a risk of damage being caused to the X-ray unit.
A sharp-edged object transported on the conveyor can damage the conveyor or the lead
curtain.
 Do not place sharp-edged objects directly on the conveyor.
 Use suitable trays.

INFORMATION
To prevent a jam in the tunnel and excessive soiling of the X-ray unit, the use of an ap-
propriate tray is required depending on the object to be inspected. If the object has one
or several of the following qualities, the complete object must be placed in a suitable
tray:
• low weight (e. g. watch)
• small size (e. g. wallet)
• material that changes shape easily (e. g.: clothing)
• bands or straps sticking out (e. g.: backpack)
• open liquids
• heavy soiling
• moisture

1. Obtain the current operating direction from the status bar information  (see Fig. 52).

Fig. 52: Information about the inspection direction in the status bar

2. Place the object to be inspected on the conveyor, in scanning direction, in front of the lead curtain.
a. Place the object with its largest surface resting on the conveyor.
b. If there is an appropriate label (see Fig. 53) attached to the tunnel opening of the X-ray unit
which indicates an optimum position, observe this instruction. Otherwise place the object in
the middle.
c. Make sure that the object will not touch the tunnel walls while being conveyed.

this person will be exposed to an increased X-ray dose. Radiation injury can result.
 Do not put your hand into the tunnel during operation.
 Press emergency stop switch when you need to put your hand into the tunnel.

WARNING
Danger due to falling objects.
If the X-ray unit is not integrated in a conveying line, objects can fall off at the ends of the
conveyor system. Serious injuries can result.
 Observe objects leaving the tunnel and stop conveyor system early enough by actuat-
ing key .

INFORMATION
There is a risk of damage being caused to the X-ray unit .
An open container with liquid transported on the conveyor can easily fall over. Penetrat-
ing liquids can damage the electronics of the X-ray unit.
 Do not place open liquids on the conveyor.
 Use suitable trays.

3. Depending on the direction into which the scanning can be effected, press key  or  on
the HiTraX keyboard.
 The conveyor system starts, the object is transported into the tunnel.
 The radiation is switched on and the X-ray image generated scrolls onto the HiTraX monitor.
 The object is transported out of the tunnel, and the X-rays are switched off.
 If the X-ray unit is operated in return mode, the conveyor will return the object through the tun-
nel and stop in the start position.
4. Evaluate the X-ray image.
5. Store X-ray image if necessary with key .
To identify unknown items in the scanned object, it is useful to scan the object once more at a differ-
ent angle. For this purpose, turn the object and repeat the steps 2 to 5.
If a new inspection does not give any information about the content, have the object opened by the
owner.

86 95595555EN - 14/03/2017 - Smiths Detection

 Operation

12.2.2 Serial scan

The serial inspection can achieve a high throughput of inspected objects.
In this case, the X-ray unit is continuously operated in one direction (one-way mode). The constant
conveying direction results in an input end from where objects are transported into the tunnel and
an output end toward which objects are transported out of the tunnel.
To increase throughput, Smiths Heimann GmbH recommends allocating the tasks to be fulfilled by
staff on the unit to the following roles:

Role Tasks
Entrance operator • receives the objects to be inspected
• guarantees the proper positioning on the
conveyor depending on the qualities of the
object
• prevents the feeding in of unsuitable
objects.
Operator • monitors and controls the scans
Analyst • evaluates X-ray images
Recheck operator • hands over the objects to the owner
• carries out the recheck if necessary
Table 43: Responsibilities of different groups of persons

The easiest solution is that one assumes the operator role and the analyst role at a time. At least
three persons should work on the X-ray unit during series scans. Hence, the following instructions
refer to three roles:
• Entrance operator
• Operator
• Recheck station

 Operation

12.2.3 Options changing the operating sequence

If the X-ray unit is equipped with either of the options listed below, the X-ray unit works differently
from the standard operation described above.

Reverse scanning[OPTION]

If the reverse scanning mode is activated, the second arrow in the screen status line appears dark
grey or black (see  in Fig. 56).

Fig. 56: Information about the inspection direction in the status bar

When the object to be inspected is lying on the conveyor, a scanning process can be carried out. The
following applies irrespective of the conveyor end on which the object is lying:
1. press key  or  in the direction of the tunnel to scan the object.
 The conveyor system starts, the object is transported into the tunnel.

 The object is transported out of the tunnel, and the X-rays are switched off.
2. Press key to stop the conveyor system.

INFORMATION
Always terminate the inspection of an object completely before scanning it a second time
in reverse direction. Otherwise, there may be areas of the object that have not been
scanned.

95595555EN - 14/03/2017 - Smiths Detection 91

Carry out an inspection

Hi-TIP[OPTION]

HI-TIP (Threat Image Projection)[OPTION] increases the alertness of the image analyst (screener) by
automatically projecting fictitious X-ray images of dangerous items at random intervals on the
screen.
The projected dangerous items are either contained in fictitious objects (combined threat images),
or they are projected inconspicuously into real X-ray images of objects.
HI-TIP[OPTION] can be activated by supervisor personnel.

INFORMATION
Statistics are kept on the activities of the image analyst and the detection rates. This data
can be viewed by a supervisor.

If HI-TIP is activated, the inspection process changes as follows:

Case 1: no threat item projected

If no dangerous items are in the X-ray image of the inspected object, the next object can be scanned.
1. If a suspicious item is contained in the X-ray image, press key .
 A message appears telling you that this time HI-TIP did not insert a fictitious threat object.
2. Press key  to confirm the message.

INFORMATION
Depending on the configuration of the X-ray unit, it may be necessary to press key
once more to mark the object.

Case 2: threat item projected

1. Press key .
 A positive message (green) appears on the screen.
 The item projected by HI-TIP appears with a black/yellow frame around it.
 The X-ray image is not marked.
2. Observe the instructions of the message.
3. Press key  to confirm the message.
4. Check if there is another suspicious item in the X-ray image.

INFORMATION
If, instead of key , a priority key assigned to function RECHECK is pressed, this is con-
sidered as a threat image not recognized by the image analyst/screener.

If you have missed a projected item, the conveyor system will be stopped automatically and a negative
message (red) will be displayed on the screen.
 Observe the instructions of the message.
 Press key  to confirm the message.

 Operation

Case 3: projection cancelled

It is not always possible for the TIP system to project a complete fictional X-ray image or a fictional
threat item; for example, if the projected item exceeds the length of the scanned object. In these cas-
es, the conveyor system is stopped and the item that has been partly projected, or the fictitious X-ray
image, are marked with a black/yellow frame on the screen and will afterwards be deleted. At the
same time, a corresponding message appears on the screen.
 Observe the instructions of the message.
 Press key  to confirm the message.

Image evaluation

12.3 Image evaluation

This section gives you information about the image processing functions available in the system.

12.3.1 Image representation

The image information which is collected during an inspection can be displayed in different ways on
the screen.
After switching on the X-ray unit, the monitor shows the default image display. After scanning an ob-
ject, it is initially shown in the default image display mode until you select a different image display
mode. The default image display mode can be defined by supervisor personnel.

INFORMATION
You can return to the default image display at any time with the  key.
After switching on the unit, the selected default image display is indicated in the Image
display field on the screen indication bar.

The most important image display functions are assigned to the image representation keys  on the
HiTraX keyboard. Each function can be selected via a designated key.

Fig. 57: Image representation keys

All of the other image display modes and combinations of these can only be selected via the priority
keys , , . The priority keys can be assigned to functions by supervisor personnel.
If you are logged in as an operator without special authorization, you will not have access to all of the
image display modes.

INFORMATION
The functions allocated to the priority keys and the image display mode currently select-
ed can be read from the status bar.

The keys for selecting the different image display modes must either be permanently held down
(non-locking key) or be pressed only briefly (locking key) to switch on and off an image display mode.
This function (non-locking key or locking key) is configured by the user with Supervisor access level.

12.3.2 Grey levels (BW)

The grey level image displays the different items of the inspected object in different brightness levels
from white to black. The higher the absorption degree, the darker the item appears in the image.

94 95595555EN - 14/03/2017 - Smiths Detection

 Operation

Fig. 58: Image display mode - Grey levels (BW)

Items with high absorption appear in dark to black. These are either materials of higher density (e.g.
steel, lead) or items of lower density but higher thickness.
Items with a low absorption appear in bright to white. These are items with a lower density and thick-
ness (e.g. paper, textiles).
You get the grey level image representation by pressing key .

12.3.3 HI-MAT+
In contrast to the grey level image and in addition to using different brightness levels, the HI-MAT+
image indicates the material composition of the items contained in the scanned object by colouring
them with three different basic colours and their shades.

Fig. 59: Image display - HI-MAT+

The materials that make up an object are assigned to three groups according to the effective atomic
weight of the chemical elements contained; the three groups are represented in orange, green and
blue. This assignment is implemented on the basis of a real time calculation from the degrees of ab-
sorption measured depending on the radiation hardness.

INFORMATION
Materials which cannot be defined due to very low or very high absorption, are repre-
sented in white or black.

The effective atomic number Zeff is determined from the atomic and molecular composition of the
inspected materials. If different materials are overlapping in a scanned object, the effective atomic
number Zeff is determined from the mean values of the atoms and molecules involved.
The colour thus indicates the kind of material, while the brightness (intensity) of the colour indicates
the material thickness.

95595555EN - 14/03/2017 - Smiths Detection 95

Image evaluation

Colour Zeff Meaning

Zeff < 10 lighter elements: hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen and their mo-
lecular compounds, the organic materials:
many explosives (e.g. C3H5(NO3)3 nitroglycerine), plastics such as
acrylic material, paper, textiles, food, wood, water
10 < Zeff < 15 medium heavy elements: pure aluminium, sodium, chlorine, sodi-
um chloride

15 < Zeff < 56 heavy elements: metals such as titanium, chromium, iron, nickel,
copper, zinc, tin, silver etc.

Fig. 60: Assignment of atomic number to image colour

INFORMATION
For physical reasons, very heavy elements with an effective atomic number over the de-
tection limit, which occur in an extremely thin layer, e.g. lead or gold foils, will be
displayed in green or orange depending on the foil thickness. Even with a layer thickness
of just a few millimetres, these elements will be displayed in dark grey to black due to
the high absorption level.

If different materials are overlying, the colouring shifts towards the material absorbing most of the
radiation. Where heavy materials are overlying light materials, these can be displayed in orange,
green or blue, depending on the thickness of the individual layers. The same applies to metal alloys.
If for example aluminium is alloyed with heavier metals, the colouring shifts from green to blue.
If the HI-MAT+ colour image has not been defined as default image display by a supervisor, it can only
be selected via a priority key assigned to the (HI-)MAT+ function.

HI-MAT.F

If objects containing food are regularly inspected, the HI-MAT.F (Food) function can be used for an
optimized representation.
The display mode can be defined as the default image display by a supervisor. Otherwise, the function
can be selected with a priority key that has been allocated accordingly.

12.3.4 Organic Only (O²/O²+)/VARI-OT

If you apply the special functions Organic Only (O²) and Organic Only+ (O²+), you can limit the display
to organic materials, i.e. items made of light material.
Depending on the configuration, you can select one of the two functions with . The other function
can only be selected via a priority key that has been allocated to the O² or O²+ function.

Fig. 61: Image display - Organic Only O²

Organic Only Food (O².F)

If objects containing food are regularly inspected, the O².F (Food) function can be used for an opti-
mized representation.
Depending on the configuration, you can select the function with 0 or with a priority keys that has
been allocated to the O².F function.

12.3.5 Organic Stripping (OS/OS+)

If you apply the special functions Organic Stripping (OS) and Organic Stripping+ (OS+), you can limit
the display to non-organic items made of denser materials. Organic items will only be displayed in
shades of grey.
Depending on the configuration, you can select one of the two functions with . The second func-
tion can only be selected via a priority key that has been allocated to the OS or OS+ function.

Fig. 63: Image display - Organic Stripping (OS)

VARI-OT

The function VARI-OT enables adjustable filtering of organic material.

Once the VARI-OT function is selected via a priority key that has been allocated accordingly, you can
filter out organic material to a lesser extent by repeatedly pressing  to the left. Repeatedly
pressing  to the right increases the filtering of organic material.

12.3.6 Absorption range - (VARI)

If you are only interested in detecting items of a certain absorption level, you can intentionally mark
such items in the above-mentioned image display modes Grey levels, HI-MAT+, Organic Only(+) and
Organic Stripping(+) and, at the same time, filter out those materials of a different absorption level.
Only items within the selected absorption range will then be represented with all of the available
brightness levels.
As a result, a considerable contrast enhancement is achieved, since no brightness levels are now re-
quired for absorption ranges that are not of interest.
By pressing the  key to the right repeatedly, you can shift the absorption range towards items
with high absorption levels (e.g. metallic items).
If you are only interested in detecting items of a certain absorption level, you can intentionally mark

INFORMATION
An X-ray inspection delivers significantly more absorption levels than can be displayed
by the monitor on the basis of different brightness levels.
If you apply all the absorption levels that can be collected during an inspection on a hori-
zontal axis with the absorption degree rising from left to right, you will get an upward
sloping line . If you apply brightness levels which can be represented on the screen as
a frame  on line , you can use the VARI function to shift the frame to the left or to the
right over the collected absorption levels. All absorption levels which, in each case, are
comprised in the window, will be visible on the screen. Lower absorption levels  are
represented in white, higher absorption levels  are represented in black.

12.3.7 Higher penetration (HIGH)

The contrast of the darker image sections, i.e. materials that are difficult to penetrate, is increased
with this function in the Grey levels (BW) and HI-MAT+ image display modes described. An image with
a seemingly higher penetration is generated. This way, you can detect items hidden behind other
high-absorbing items. Details of high-absorbing items appear more clearly. Even thicker layers of
light organic material (explosives, drugs) are clearly emphasized. At the same time, low-absorbing
items are filtered.

Fig. 69: HI-MAT+ image display with HIGH function

When pressing key , the function is applied to the current X-ray image. The function can only be
applied to the image display modes HI-MAT+ or Grey levels. Depending on the configuration of key
, the function is applied to the current image display, or the image display changes to HI-MAT+
first and then applies the HIGH function to this image display mode.
It is also possible to use a priority key assigned to the function (MAT+-)HIGH (for the HI-MAT+ image),
BW-HIGH (for the grey level image) or HIGH+. The function last mentioned takes effect on the image
display currently active (HI-MAT+ image or grey level image).

this function in the above-mentioned image display modes: Black/white and HI-MAT+. An image with
a seemingly reduced penetration is generated. Details of low-absorbing items appear more clearly.
At the same time, high-absorbing items are displayed in black.
You can select the function via a priority key assigned to the (MAT+-)LOW (for the HI-MAT+ image),

In the negative image display, high-absorbing items appear bright, low-absorbing items appear dark.
This way, smaller or thinner items of higher density (e.g. wires) become more clearly visible.
When pressing key , the function is applied to the current X-ray image. The function can only be
applied to the image display modes HI-MAT+ or Grey levels. Depending on the configuration of key
, the function is applied to the current image display, or the image display changes to HI-MAT+

12.3.10 HI-SPOT and HIGH-Density-Alert

INFORMATION
The threshold values of density and size from which on an area is to be highlighted can
be set by supervisor personnel.

The HI-SPOT function highlights the image areas concerned using the higher penetration display
mode (HIGH).
The High Density Alert function highlights the image areas concerned using a pink frame.

Fig. 75: Image display - HI-SPOT

12.3.11 X-PLORE
By means of the special function X-PLORE you can further distinguish the organic items displayed in
orange colour in the HI-MAT+ colour image.
You can thus display the materials with an effective atomic weight (Zeff) of 7, 8 or 9 one after another.
The image display becomes a grey level image; only the image sections representing materials of the
selected effective atomic weight will be displayed in red.

Zeff Materials which are typically searched for

7 Water, plastic explosives
8 Impure drugs
9 Pure drugs
Table 44: Materials

The X-PLORE function is called as follows:

1. Press key .
 The image display of materials with the effective atomic weight that was selected last appears.
2. Press key  to the right.
 The effective atomic weight that is looked for is incremented by one if possible.
3. Press key  to the left.
 The effective atomic weight that is looked for is decremented by one if possible.

 Operation

Fig. 76: Image display - X-PLORE with Z = 8

INFORMATION
The effective atomic weight changes if materials are covered by materials with different
atomic weights, e.g. by the container in which the material is stored. When evaluating the
image, you should therefore primarily look at those parts of the X-ray image, which do
not show overlying items

12.3.12 Superenhancement (SEN)

Electronic real-time image processing automatically calculates the contrast enhancement for every
single image section. An X-ray image with highest detail resolution is obtained. The detectability of
individual items such as plastic arms, explosives and drugs is considerably improved.
Items of lower density can be easily recognized even if such items are hidden between metal plates.
High penetration and high resolution are achieved at the same time.
The function can be applied to the following image representations:

12.3.13 HI-CAT
An X-ray inspection delivers significantly more absorption levels than can be displayed by the moni-
tor on the basis of different brightness levels. The HI-CAT functions thus use more colours to display
the absorption levels simultaneously.
Using the HI-CAT system, six different colour images (HI-CAT 1...6) and two different grey level im-
ages (HI-CAT 7 and 8) can be generated.
All HI-CAT images have one thing in common: there is no direct relation between the effective atomic
weight and the colour display.
HI-CAT colour and grey level images can be defined as the default image display. Alternatively, they
can be selected with priority keys which are assigned to the functions HI-CAT1...8.

Fig. 83: HI-CAT image 1 Fig. 84: HI-CAT image 2

Fig. 85: HI-CAT image 3 Fig. 86: HI-CAT image 4

Fig. 87: HI-CAT image 5 Fig. 88: HI-CAT image 6

The only difference between the HI-CAT image 7 and the standard grey level image is that the highest
absorption level is displayed in red. The HI-CAT image 8 does not differ from the standard grey level
image. However, both images can be manipulated with the VARI-CAT function as described in the
following.

Fig. 89: HI-CAT image 7 Fig. 90: HI-CAT image 8

VARI-CAT

For HI-CAT images you can continuously select different assignments between absorption and col-
ours or grey levels. The detectability of small details is thus selectively increased, finest object
structures become clearly visible.
For the two HI-CAT images 7 and 8, the direct relation between absorption and grey levels is can-
celled with the VARI-CAT function. Very similar absorption degrees are displayed in greatly varying
grey levels.
Concentrate on the object detail being examined. By alternately pressing the  key to the left
and right, you can continuously adapt the image display to the scanned object until the detectability
of details has been optimized.

GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE

Version 3, 29 June 2007

Copyright © 2007 Free Software Foundation, Inc. <http://fsf.org/>

Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.

Preamble

The GNU General Public License is a free, copyleft license for software and other kinds of works.

The licenses for most software and other practical works are designed to take away your freedom to share and change the works. By contrast, the GNU General Public License is
intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change all versions of a program--to make sure it remains free software for all its users. We, the Free Software Foundation, use the
GNU General Public License for most of our software; it applies also to any other work released this way by its authors. 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 them 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 prevent others from denying you these rights or asking you to surrender the rights. Therefore, you have certain responsibilities if you distribute
copies of the software, or if you modify it: responsibilities to respect the freedom of others.

For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether gratis or for a fee, you must pass on to the recipients the same freedoms that you received. 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.

Developers that use the GNU GPL protect your rights with two steps: (1) assert copyright on the software, and (2) offer you this License giving you legal permission to copy, distribute
and/or modify it.

For the developers' and authors' protection, the GPL clearly explains that there is no warranty for this free software. For both users' and authors' sake, the GPL requires that modified
versions be marked as changed, so that their problems will not be attributed erroneously to authors of previous versions.

Some devices are designed to deny users access to install or run modified versions of the software inside them, although the manufacturer can do so. This is fundamentally
incompatible with the aim of protecting users' freedom to change the software. The systematic pattern of such abuse occurs in the area of products for individuals to use, which is
precisely where it is most unacceptable. Therefore, we have designed this version of the GPL to prohibit the practice for those products. If such problems arise substantially in other
domains, we stand ready to extend this provision to those domains in future versions of the GPL, as needed to protect the freedom of users.

Finally, every program is threatened constantly by software patents. States should not allow patents to restrict development and use of software on general-purpose computers, but
in those that do, we wish to avoid the special danger that patents applied to a free program could make it effectively proprietary. To prevent this, the GPL assures that patents cannot
be used to render the program non-free.

The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and modification follow.

TERMS AND CONDITIONS

0. Definitions.
“This License” refers to version 3 of the GNU General Public License.

“Copyright” also means copyright-like laws that apply to other kinds of works, such as semiconductor masks.

“The Program” refers to any copyrightable work licensed under this License. Each licensee is addressed as “you”. “Licensees” and “recipients” may be individuals or organizations.

To “modify” a work means to copy from or adapt all or part of the work in a fashion requiring copyright permission, other than the making of an exact copy. The resulting work is
called a “modified version” of the earlier work or a work “based on” the earlier work.

A “covered work” means either the unmodified Program or a work based on the Program.

To “propagate” a work means to do anything with it that, without permission, would make you directly or secondarily liable for infringement under applicable copyright law, except
executing it on a computer or modifying a private copy. Propagation includes copying, distribution (with or without modification), making available to the public, and in some countries
other activities as well.

To “convey” a work means any kind of propagation that enables other parties to make or receive copies. Mere interaction with a user through a computer network, with no transfer of
a copy, is not conveying.

An interactive user interface displays “Appropriate Legal Notices” to the extent that it includes a convenient and prominently visible feature that (1) displays an appropriate copyright
notice, and (2) tells the user that there is no warranty for the work (except to the extent that warranties are provided), that licensees may convey the work under this License, and how
to view a copy of this License. If the interface presents a list of user commands or options, such as a menu, a prominent item in the list meets this criterion.

1. Source Code.
The “source code” for a work means the preferred form of the work for making modifications to it. “Object code” means any non-source form of a work.

A “Standard Interface” means an interface that either is an official standard defined by a recognized standards body, or, in the case of interfaces specified for a particular
programming language, one that is widely used among developers working in that language.

The “System Libraries” of an executable work include anything, other than the work as a whole, that (a) is included in the normal form of packaging a Major Component, but which is
not part of that Major Component, and (b) serves only to enable use of the work with that Major Component, or to implement a Standard Interface for which an implementation is
available to the public in source code form. A “Major Component”, in this context, means a major essential component (kernel, window system, and so on) of the specific operating
system (if any) on which the executable work runs, or a compiler used to produce the work, or an object code interpreter used to run it.

The “Corresponding Source” for a work in object code form means all the source code needed to generate, install, and (for an executable work) run the object code and to modify the
work, including scripts to control those activities. However, it does not include the work's System Libraries, or general-purpose tools or generally available free programs which are
used unmodified in performing those activities but which are not part of the work. For example, Corresponding Source includes interface definition files associated with source files
for the work, and the source code for shared libraries and dynamically linked subprograms that the work is specifically designed to require, such as by intimate data communication
or control flow between those subprograms and other parts of the work.

The Corresponding Source need not include anything that users can regenerate automatically from other parts of the Corresponding Source.

The Corresponding Source for a work in source code form is that same work.

2. Basic Permissions.
All rights granted under this License are granted for the term of copyright on the Program, and are irrevocable provided the stated conditions are met. This License explicitly affirms
your unlimited permission to run the unmodified Program. The output from running a covered work is covered by this License only if the output, given its content, constitutes a
covered work. This License acknowledges your rights of fair use or other equivalent, as provided by copyright law.
You may make, run and propagate covered works that you do not convey, without conditions so long as your license otherwise remains in force. You may convey covered works to
others for the sole purpose of having them make modifications exclusively for you, or provide you with facilities for running those works, provided that you comply with the terms of
this License in conveying all material for which you do not control copyright. Those thus making or running the covered works for you must do so exclusively on your behalf, under
your direction and control, on terms that prohibit them from making any copies of your copyrighted material outside their relationship with you.

Conveying under any other circumstances is permitted solely under the conditions stated below. Sublicensing is not allowed; section 10 makes it unnecessary.

3. Protecting Users' Legal Rights From Anti-Circumvention Law.

No covered work shall be deemed part of an effective technological measure under any applicable law fulfilling obligations under article 11 of the WIPO copyright treaty adopted on 20
December 1996, or similar laws prohibiting or restricting circumvention of such measures.

When you convey a covered work, you waive any legal power to forbid circumvention of technological measures to the extent such circumvention is effected by exercising rights under
this License with respect to the covered work, and you disclaim any intention to limit operation or modification of the work as a means of enforcing, against the work's users, your or
third parties' legal rights to forbid circumvention of technological measures.

4. Conveying Verbatim Copies.

You may convey 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; keep intact all notices stating that this License and any non-permissive terms added in accord with section 7 apply to the code; keep intact all notices of the absence
of any warranty; and give all recipients a copy of this License along with the Program.

You may charge any price or no price for each copy that you convey, and you may offer support or warranty protection for a fee.

5. Conveying Modified Source Versions.

You may convey a work based on the Program, or the modifications to produce it from the Program, in the form of source code under the terms of section 4, provided that you also
meet all of these conditions:

• a) The work must carry prominent notices stating that you modified it, and giving a relevant date.
• b) The work must carry prominent notices stating that it is released under this License and any conditions added under section 7. This requirement modifies the requirement in
section 4 to “keep intact all notices”.
• c) You must license the entire work, as a whole, under this License to anyone who comes into possession of a copy. This License will therefore apply, along with any applicable
section 7 additional terms, to the whole of the work, and all its parts, regardless of how they are packaged. This License gives no permission to license the work in any other way, but
it does not invalidate such permission if you have separately received it.
• d) If the work has interactive user interfaces, each must display Appropriate Legal Notices; however, if the Program has interactive interfaces that do not display Appropriate
Legal Notices, your work need not make them do so.

A compilation of a covered work with other separate and independent works, which are not by their nature extensions of the covered work, and which are not combined with it such as
to form a larger program, in or on a volume of a storage or distribution medium, is called an “aggregate” if the compilation and its resulting copyright are not used to limit the access
or legal rights of the compilation's users beyond what the individual works permit. Inclusion of a covered work in an aggregate does not cause this License to apply to the other parts
of the aggregate.

6. Conveying Non-Source Forms.

You may convey a covered work in object code form under the terms of sections 4 and 5, provided that you also convey the machine-readable Corresponding Source under the terms
of this License, in one of these ways:

• a) Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product (including a physical distribution medium), accompanied by the Corresponding Source fixed on a durable
physical medium customarily used for software interchange.
• b) Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product (including a physical distribution medium), accompanied by a written offer, valid for at least three years and valid
for as long as you offer spare parts or customer support for that product model, to give anyone who possesses the object code either (1) a copy of the Corresponding Source for all the
software in the product that is covered by this License, on a durable physical medium customarily used for software interchange, for a price no more than your reasonable cost of
physically performing this conveying of source, or (2) access to copy the Corresponding Source from a network server at no charge.
• c) Convey individual copies of the object code with a copy of the written offer to provide the Corresponding Source. This alternative is allowed only occasionally and
noncommercially, and only if you received the object code with such an offer, in accord with subsection 6b.
• d) Convey the object code by offering access from a designated place (gratis or for a charge), and offer equivalent access to the Corresponding Source in the same way through
the same place at no further charge. You need not require recipients to copy the Corresponding Source along with the object code. If the place to copy the object code is a network
server, the Corresponding Source may be on a different server (operated by you or a third party) that supports equivalent copying facilities, provided you maintain clear directions next
to the object code saying where to find the Corresponding Source. Regardless of what server hosts the Corresponding Source, you remain obligated to ensure that it is available for as
long as needed to satisfy these requirements.
• e) Convey the object code using peer-to-peer transmission, provided you inform other peers where the object code and Corresponding Source of the work are being offered to
the general public at no charge under subsection 6d.

A separable portion of the object code, whose source code is excluded from the Corresponding Source as a System Library, need not be included in conveying the object code work.

A “User Product” is either (1) a “consumer product”, which means any tangible personal property which is normally used for personal, family, or household purposes, or (2) anything
designed or sold for incorporation into a dwelling. In determining whether a product is a consumer product, doubtful cases shall be resolved in favor of coverage. For a particular
product received by a particular user, “normally used” refers to a typical or common use of that class of product, regardless of the status of the particular user or of the way in which
the particular user actually uses, or expects or is expected to use, the product. A product is a consumer product regardless of whether the product has substantial commercial,
industrial or non-consumer uses, unless such uses represent the only significant mode of use of the product.

“Installation Information” for a User Product means any methods, procedures, authorization keys, or other information required to install and execute modified versions of a covered
work in that User Product from a modified version of its Corresponding Source. The information must suffice to ensure that the continued functioning of the modified object code is in
no case prevented or interfered with solely because modification has been made.

If you convey an object code work under this section in, or with, or specifically for use in, a User Product, and the conveying occurs as part of a transaction in which the right of
possession and use of the User Product is transferred to the recipient in perpetuity or for a fixed term (regardless of how the transaction is characterized), the Corresponding Source
conveyed under this section must be accompanied by the Installation Information. But this requirement does not apply if neither you nor any third party retains the ability to install
modified object code on the User Product (for example, the work has been installed in ROM).

The requirement to provide Installation Information does not include a requirement to continue to provide support service, warranty, or updates for a work that has been modified or
installed by the recipient, or for the User Product in which it has been modified or installed. Access to a network may be denied when the modification itself materially and adversely
affects the operation of the network or violates the rules and protocols for communication across the network.

Corresponding Source conveyed, and Installation Information provided, in accord with this section must be in a format that is publicly documented (and with an implementation
available to the public in source code form), and must require no special password or key for unpacking, reading or copying.

7. Additional Terms.
“Additional permissions” are terms that supplement the terms of this License by making exceptions from one or more of its conditions. Additional permissions that are applicable to
the entire Program shall be treated as though they were included in this License, to the extent that they are valid under applicable law. If additional permissions apply only to part of
the Program, that part may be used separately under those permissions, but the entire Program remains governed by this License without regard to the additional permissions.

When you convey a copy of a covered work, you may at your option remove any additional permissions from that copy, or from any part of it. (Additional permissions may be written to
require their own removal in certain cases when you modify the work.) You may place additional permissions on material, added by you to a covered work, for which you have or can
give appropriate copyright permission.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, for material you add to a covered work, you may (if authorized by the copyright holders of that material) supplement the terms of
this License with terms:
• a) Disclaiming warranty or limiting liability differently from the terms of sections 15 and 16 of this License; or
• b) Requiring preservation of specified reasonable legal notices or author attributions in that material or in the Appropriate Legal Notices displayed by works containing it; or
• c) Prohibiting misrepresentation of the origin of that material, or requiring that modified versions of such material be marked in reasonable ways as different from the original
version; or
• d) Limiting the use for publicity purposes of names of licensors or authors of the material; or
• e) Declining to grant rights under trademark law for use of some trade names, trademarks, or service marks; or
• f) Requiring indemnification of licensors and authors of that material by anyone who conveys the material (or modified versions of it) with contractual assumptions of liability to
the recipient, for any liability that these contractual assumptions directly impose on those licensors and authors.

All other non-permissive additional terms are considered “further restrictions” within the meaning of section 10. If the Program as you received it, or any part of it, contains a notice
stating that it is governed by this License along with a term that is a further restriction, you may remove that term. If a license document contains a further restriction but permits
relicensing or conveying under this License, you may add to a covered work material governed by the terms of that license document, provided that the further restriction does not
survive such relicensing or conveying.

If you add terms to a covered work in accord with this section, you must place, in the relevant source files, a statement of the additional terms that apply to those files, or a notice
indicating where to find the applicable terms.

Additional terms, permissive or non-permissive, may be stated in the form of a separately written license, or stated as exceptions; the above requirements apply either way.

8. Termination.
You may not propagate or modify a covered work except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt otherwise to propagate or modify it is void, and will automatically
terminate your rights under this License (including any patent licenses granted under the third paragraph of section 11).

However, if you cease all violation of this License, then your license from a particular copyright holder is reinstated (a) provisionally, unless and until the copyright holder explicitly and
finally terminates your license, and (b) permanently, if the copyright holder fails to notify you of the violation by some reasonable means prior to 60 days after the cessation.

Moreover, your license from a particular copyright holder is reinstated permanently if the copyright holder notifies you of the violation by some reasonable means, this is the first time
you have received notice of violation of this License (for any work) from that copyright holder, and you cure the violation prior to 30 days after your receipt of the notice.

Termination of your rights under this section does not terminate the licenses of parties who have received copies or rights from you under this License. If your rights have been
terminated and not permanently reinstated, you do not qualify to receive new licenses for the same material under section 10.

9. Acceptance Not Required for Having Copies.

You are not required to accept this License in order to receive or run a copy of the Program. Ancillary propagation of a covered work occurring solely as a consequence of using peer-
to-peer transmission to receive a copy likewise does not require acceptance. However, nothing other than this License grants you permission to propagate or modify any covered
work. These actions infringe copyright if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by modifying or propagating a covered work, you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so.

10. Automatic Licensing of Downstream Recipients.

Each time you convey a covered work, the recipient automatically receives a license from the original licensors, to run, modify and propagate that work, subject to this License. You
are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties with this License.

An “entity transaction” is a transaction transferring control of an organization, or substantially all assets of one, or subdividing an organization, or merging organizations. If
propagation of a covered work results from an entity transaction, each party to that transaction who receives a copy of the work also receives whatever licenses to the work the
party's predecessor in interest had or could give under the previous paragraph, plus a right to possession of the Corresponding Source of the work from the predecessor in interest, if
the predecessor has it or can get it with reasonable efforts.

You may not impose any further restrictions on the exercise of the rights granted or affirmed under this License. For example, you may not impose a license fee, royalty, or other
charge for exercise of rights granted under this License, and you may not initiate litigation (including a cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that any patent claim is
infringed by making, using, selling, offering for sale, or importing the Program or any portion of it.

11. Patents.
A “contributor” is a copyright holder who authorizes use under this License of the Program or a work on which the Program is based. The work thus licensed is called the
contributor's “contributor version”.

A contributor's “essential patent claims” are all patent claims owned or controlled by the contributor, whether already acquired or hereafter acquired, that would be infringed by
some manner, permitted by this License, of making, using, or selling its contributor version, but do not include claims that would be infringed only as a consequence of further
modification of the contributor version. For purposes of this definition, “control” includes the right to grant patent sublicenses in a manner consistent with the requirements of this
License.

Each contributor grants you a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free patent license under the contributor's essential patent claims, to make, use, sell, offer for sale, import and
otherwise run, modify and propagate the contents of its contributor version.

In the following three paragraphs, a “patent license” is any express agreement or commitment, however denominated, not to enforce a patent (such as an express permission to
practice a patent or covenant not to sue for patent infringement). To “grant” such a patent license to a party means to make such an agreement or commitment not to enforce a
patent against the party.
If you convey a covered work, knowingly relying on a patent license, and the Corresponding Source of the work is not available for anyone to copy, free of charge and under the terms
of this License, through a publicly available network server or other readily accessible means, then you must either (1) cause the Corresponding Source to be so available, or (2)
arrange to deprive yourself of the benefit of the patent license for this particular work, or (3) arrange, in a manner consistent with the requirements of this License, to extend the
patent license to downstream recipients. “Knowingly relying” means you have actual knowledge that, but for the patent license, your conveying the covered work in a country, or your
recipient's use of the covered work in a country, would infringe one or more identifiable patents in that country that you have reason to believe are valid.

If, pursuant to or in connection with a single transaction or arrangement, you convey, or propagate by procuring conveyance of, a covered work, and grant a patent license to some of
the parties receiving the covered work authorizing them to use, propagate, modify or convey a specific copy of the covered work, then the patent license you grant is automatically
extended to all recipients of the covered work and works based on it.

A patent license is “discriminatory” if it does not include within the scope of its coverage, prohibits the exercise of, or is conditioned on the non-exercise of one or more of the rights
that are specifically granted under this License. You may not convey a covered work if you are a party to an arrangement with a third party that is in the business of distributing
software, under which you make payment to the third party based on the extent of your activity of conveying the work, and under which the third party grants, to any of the parties who
would receive the covered work from you, a discriminatory patent license (a) in connection with copies of the covered work conveyed by you (or copies made from those copies), or (b)
primarily for and in connection with specific products or compilations that contain the covered work, unless you entered into that arrangement, or that patent license was granted,
prior to 28 March 2007.

Nothing in this License shall be construed as excluding or limiting any implied license or other defenses to infringement that may otherwise be available to you under applicable
patent law.

12. No Surrender of Others' Freedom.

If 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 convey a covered work so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you may
not convey it at all. For example, if you agree to terms that obligate you to collect a royalty for further conveying from those to whom you convey the Program, the only way you could
satisfy both those terms and this License would be to refrain entirely from conveying the Program.

13. Use with the GNU Affero General Public License.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, you have permission to link or combine any covered work with a work licensed under version 3 of the GNU Affero General Public
License into a single combined work, and to convey the resulting work. The terms of this License will continue to apply to the part which is the covered work, but the special
requirements of the GNU Affero General Public License, section 13, concerning interaction through a network will apply to the combination as such.

14. Revised Versions of this License.

The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of the GNU 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 Program specifies that a certain numbered version of the GNU General Public License “or any later version” applies to it,
you have the option of following the terms and conditions either of that numbered version or of any later version published by the Free Software Foundation. If the Program does not
specify a version number of the GNU General Public License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software Foundation.

If the Program specifies that a proxy can decide which future versions of the GNU General Public License can be used, that proxy's public statement of acceptance of a version
permanently authorizes you to choose that version for the Program.

Later license versions may give you additional or different permissions. However, no additional obligations are imposed on any author or copyright holder as a result of your choosing
to follow a later version.

15. Disclaimer of Warranty.

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.

16. Limitation of Liability.

IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MODIFIES AND/OR CONVEYS 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 NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE 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.

17. Interpretation of Sections 15 and 16.

If the disclaimer of warranty and limitation of liability provided above cannot be given local legal effect according to their terms, reviewing courts shall apply local law that most
closely approximates an absolute waiver of all civil liability in connection with the Program, unless a warranty or assumption of liability accompanies a copy of the Program in return
for a fee.

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 state 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.>
Copyright (C) <year> <name of author>

This program is free software: you can redistribute it and/or modify

it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by
the Free Software Foundation, either version 3 of the License, or
(at your option) any later version.

This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful,

but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of
MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. See the
GNU General Public License for more details.

You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License
along with this program. If not, see <http://www.gnu.org/licenses/>.

Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.

If the program does terminal interaction, make it output a short notice like this when it starts in an interactive mode:

<program> Copyright (C) <year> <name of author>

This program comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type `show w'.
This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it
under certain conditions; type `show c' for details.

The hypothetical commands `show w' and `show c' should show the appropriate parts of the General Public License. Of course, your program's commands might be different; for a
GUI interface, you would use an “about box”.

You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or school, if any, to sign a “copyright disclaimer” for the program, if necessary. For more information on this, and
how to apply and follow the GNU GPL, see <http://www.gnu.org/licenses/>.

The GNU 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. But first, please read

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.

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.

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 thereof, 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 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 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 NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE 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 an idea of what it does.
Copyright (C) yyyy name of author

This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or

modify it under the terms of the GNU General Public License
as published by the Free Software Foundation; either version 2
of the License, or (at your option) any later version.

This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful,

but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of
MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. See the
GNU General Public License for more details.

You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License
along with this program; if not, write to the Free Software
Foundation, Inc., 51 Franklin Street, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA 02110-1301, USA.

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:

Gnomovision version 69, Copyright (C) year name of author

Gnomovision comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details
type `show w'. This is free software, and you are welcome
to redistribute it under certain conditions; type `show c'
for details.

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 c'; they could even be mouse-clicks or 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:

Yoyodyne, Inc., hereby disclaims all copyright

interest in the program `Gnomovision'

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 3, 29 June 2007

Copyright © 2007 Free Software Foundation, Inc. <http://fsf.org/>

Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.

This version of the GNU Lesser General Public License incorporates the terms and conditions of version 3 of the GNU General Public License, supplemented by the additional
permissions listed below.

0. Additional Definitions.
As used herein, “this License” refers to version 3 of the GNU Lesser General Public License, and the “GNU GPL” refers to version 3 of the GNU General Public License.

“The Library” refers to a covered work governed by this License, other than an Application or a Combined Work as defined below.

An “Application” is any work that makes use of an interface provided by the Library, but which is not otherwise based on the Library. Defining a subclass of a class defined by the
Library is deemed a mode of using an interface provided by the Library.

A “Combined Work” is a work produced by combining or linking an Application with the Library. The particular version of the Library with which the Combined Work was made is also
called the “Linked Version”.

The “Minimal Corresponding Source” for a Combined Work means the Corresponding Source for the Combined Work, excluding any source code for portions of the Combined Work
that, considered in isolation, are based on the Application, and not on the Linked Version.

The “Corresponding Application Code” for a Combined Work means the object code and/or source code for the Application, including any data and utility programs needed for
reproducing the Combined Work from the Application, but excluding the System Libraries of the Combined Work.

1. Exception to Section 3 of the GNU GPL.

You may convey a covered work under sections 3 and 4 of this License without being bound by section 3 of the GNU GPL.

2. Conveying Modified Versions.

If you modify a copy of the Library, and, in your modifications, a facility refers to a function or data to be supplied by an Application that uses the facility (other than as an argument
passed when the facility is invoked), then you may convey a copy of the modified version:

• a) under this License, provided that you make a good faith effort to ensure that, in the event an Application does not supply the function or data, the facility still operates, and
performs whatever part of its purpose remains meaningful, or
• b) under the GNU GPL, with none of the additional permissions of this License applicable to that copy.

3. Object Code Incorporating Material from Library Header Files.

The object code form of an Application may incorporate material from a header file that is part of the Library. You may convey such object code under terms of your choice, provided
that, if the incorporated material is not limited to numerical parameters, data structure layouts and accessors, or small macros, inline functions and templates (ten or fewer lines in
length), you do both of the following:

• a) Give prominent notice with each copy of the object code that the Library is used in it and that the Library and its use are covered by this License.
• b) Accompany the object code with a copy of the GNU GPL and this license document.

4. Combined Works.
You may convey a Combined Work under terms of your choice that, taken together, effectively do not restrict modification of the portions of the Library contained in the Combined
Work and reverse engineering for debugging such modifications, if you also do each of the following:

• a) Give prominent notice with each copy of the Combined Work that the Library is used in it and that the Library and its use are covered by this License.
• b) Accompany the Combined Work with a copy of the GNU GPL and this license document.
• c) For a Combined Work that displays copyright notices during execution, include the copyright notice for the Library among these notices, as well as a reference directing the
user to the copies of the GNU GPL and this license document.
• d) Do one of the following:

• 0) Convey the Minimal Corresponding Source under the terms of this License, and the Corresponding Application Code in a form suitable for, and under terms that permit,
the user to recombine or relink the Application with a modified version of the Linked Version to produce a modified Combined Work, in the manner specified by section 6 of the GNU
GPL for conveying Corresponding Source.
• 1) Use a suitable shared library mechanism for linking with the Library. A suitable mechanism is one that (a) uses at run time a copy of the Library already present on the
user's computer system, and (b) will operate properly with a modified version of the Library that is interface-compatible with the Linked Version.

• e) Provide Installation Information, but only if you would otherwise be required to provide such information under section 6 of the GNU GPL, and only to the extent that such
information is necessary to install and execute a modified version of the Combined Work produced by recombining or relinking the Application with a modified version of the Linked
Version. (If you use option 4d0, the Installation Information must accompany the Minimal Corresponding Source and Corresponding Application Code. If you use option 4d1, you must
provide the Installation Information in the manner specified by section 6 of the GNU GPL for conveying Corresponding Source.)

5. Combined Libraries.
You may place library facilities that are a work based on the Library side by side in a single library together with other library facilities that are not Applications and are not covered by
this License, and convey such a combined library under terms of your choice, if you do both of the following:

• a) Accompany the combined library with a copy of the same work based on the Library, uncombined with any other library facilities, conveyed under the terms of this License.
• b) Give prominent notice with the combined library that part of it is a work based on the Library, and explaining where to find the accompanying uncombined form of the same
work.

6. Revised Versions of the GNU Lesser General Public License.

The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of the GNU Lesser General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will be similar in spirit to the
present version, but may differ in detail to address new problems or concerns.

Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Library as you received it specifies that a certain numbered version of the GNU Lesser General Public License “or any
later version” applies to it, you have the option of following the terms and conditions either of that published version or of any later version published by the Free Software Foundation.
If the Library as you received it does not specify a version number of the GNU Lesser General Public License, you may choose any version of the GNU Lesser General Public License
ever published by the Free Software Foundation.

If the Library as you received it specifies that a proxy can decide whether future versions of the GNU Lesser General Public License shall apply, that proxy's public statement of
acceptance of any version is permanent authorization for you to choose that version for the Library.
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 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 version of 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.

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 licensee 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 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 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 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.

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 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 6a, 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 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 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.

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, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS 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, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES
ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE LIBRARY (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED
BY YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE LIBRARY TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER SOFTWARE), 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 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 an idea of what it does.
Copyright (C) year name of author

This library is free software; you can redistribute it and/or

modify it under the terms of the GNU Lesser General Public
License as published by the Free Software Foundation; either
version 2.1 of the License, or (at your option) any later version.

This library is distributed in the hope that it will be useful,

but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of
MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. See the GNU
Lesser General Public License for more details.

You should have received a copy of the GNU Lesser General Public
License along with this library; if not, write to the Free Software
Foundation, Inc., 51 Franklin Street, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA 02110-1301 USA

Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.

You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or your school, if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the library, if necessary. Here is a sample; alter the names:

Yoyodyne, Inc., hereby disclaims all copyright interest in

the library `Frob' (a library for tweaking knobs) written
by James Random Hacker.

That's all there is to it!

FreeRTOS

The FreeRTOS open source license covers the FreeRTOS source files, which are located in the /FreeRTOS/Source directory of the official FreeRTOS download. It also covers most of
the source files in the demo application projects, which are located in the /FreeRTOS/Demo directory of the official FreeRTOS download. The demo projects may also include third
party software that is not part of FreeRTOS and is licensed separately to FreeRTOS. Examples of third party software includes header files provided by chip or tools vendors, linker
scripts, peripheral drivers, etc. All the software in subdirectories of the /FreeRTOS directory is either open source or distributed with permission, and is free for use. For the
avoidance of doubt, refer to the comments at the top of each source file.

The FreeRTOS GPL Exception text on this page applies to FreeRTOS V8.2.3 up to the latest version. The FreeRTOS GPL exception text that applies to versions prior to V8.2.3 is very
similar, and can be found in the relevant FreeRTOS distribution packages.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

NOTE: The modification to the GPL is included to allow you to distribute a combined work that includes FreeRTOS without being obliged to provide the source code for proprietary
components.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The FreeRTOS GPL exception text follows:

Any FreeRTOS *source code*, whether modified or in it's original release form, or whether in whole or in part, can only be distributed by you under the terms of the GNU General
Public License plus this exception. An independent module is a module which is not derived from or based on FreeRTOS.

Clause 1:

Linking FreeRTOS with other modules is making a combined work based on FreeRTOS. Thus, the terms and conditions of the GNU General Public License V2 cover the whole
combination.

As a special exception, the copyright holders of FreeRTOS give you permission to link FreeRTOS with independent modules to produce a statically linked executable, regardless of the
license terms of these independent modules, and to copy and distribute the resulting executable under terms of your choice, provided that you also meet, for each linked independent
module, the terms and conditions of the license of that module. An independent module is a module which is not derived from or based on FreeRTOS.

Clause 2:

FreeRTOS may not be used for any competitive or comparative purpose, including the publication of any form of run time or compile time metric, without the express permission of
Real Time Engineers Ltd. (this is the norm within the industry and is intended to ensure information accuracy).
