Overview

Overview
Composer Player is a free application that lets content creators distribute Composer content to any end-user.
Composer Player offers the same high performance as Composer. Much more than a simple viewer, Composer
Player makes it possible for content consumers to have highly interactive experiences with product deliverables.
Composer Player is designed to respond to contact and touch on Microsoft Windows 8 platforms.

Composer Player/Player Pro Capabilities

Composer Player includes a standalone executable (.exe) file that does not require any installation or advanced
operating system permissions.
With a Composer Player Pro license, you get all the capabilities of the free Composer Player and the following
additional premium features:
• The ability to save content that has been edited in the Player. (Saving content also requires the Save Right
Manager right.)
• An advanced API that enables enhanced integration and interaction in custom applications.
Notes:
• Composer Player and Composer Player Pro are the same executable file. A Composer Player Pro license is
required to enable Pro features.
• The features described in this guide apply to both free and Pro versions of Composer Player unless otherwise
noted.

Before Reading this Guide

This User's Guide includes a thorough Interface Description section describing all commands available in
Composer Player.

About Composer File Types

About Composer File Types

Composer has several native file types.

Composer File Types

The table below describes the various file types used to handle and share Composer documents.
Composer File Description
Type
SMG (.smg) The default file type. A single file that includes all property, geometry, view, and animation information.

Tip: .smg files are archive files containing .smgXml, .smgGeom, .smgOutlines, and other files required to
®
render the scene. You can view and extract the file content with WinRAR . Rename the .smg file with a .rar
extension.

Package (.exe)
An auto-executable file containing the following:

• file
.smg
• Composer Player executable

Use packages to distribute models to users who might not have Composer or Composer Player installed. Opening the
package file (.exe) runs Composer Player and loads the Composer data.

Note: The Composer Player documentation is not bundled in the package. It is accessed online.

Tip: You can view and extract the content of package files with WinRAR. Rename the .exe file to have a
.rar extension.

Product (.smgXml) A multi-file format consisting of all the .smg components:

• .smgXml - An XML file containing the assembly structure. It denotes the position of the actors, the properties of
the viewport, and so on.
Open the .smgXml file to load the entire model.
• .smgGeom - A binary file containing the assembly geometry.
• .smgView - An XML file containing view definitions.
• .smgSce - An XML file containing scenario (animation) definitions.
• View thumbnails - JPG images that appear in the Views pane.

The .smgGeom, .smgView, and .smgSce files must have the same name as the .smgXml file.

Tip: For greater flexibility, use Composer projects instead of Composer products alone.

Project A multi-file format consisting of one or more Composer product files and a project (.smgProj) file. The .smgProj file
(.smgProj) is an XML file that references the top-level .smgXml, .smgView, and .smgSce files that comprise the project.

• The .smgXml, .smgView, and .smgSce files can be any name and reside in any folder.
• The .smgXml and .smgGeom files must be the same name and reside in the same folder.

Projects organize your Composer files into folders and let you share references. For example, two projects can share
the same .smgXml, .smgGeom, and .smgView files but have different .smgSce files. Projects also let you import multiple
subassemblies even when you do not have the main assembly file.

8 Player/Player Pro User's Guide

 About Composer File Types

Composer File Description

Type
Fully Shattered A Composer product with multiple .smgXml and .smgGeom files.

Note: All other Composer formats contain geometry and structure information in one (.smg, .exe) or two
(.smgXml, .smgGeom) files and are called monolithic file types. In the fully-shattered format:

• The main assembly and each subassembly has a .smgXml file that includes the neutral properties, assembly
hierarchy, and position of its parts. It also includes references to all the parts.

• Each part has a .smgXml and .smgGeom file.

Fully-shattered assemblies have several advantages:

• The assembly loads all its parts by reference. An assembly does not have geometry files. This keeps the
file size of the main assembly small and lets you reuse parts in multiple assemblies.
• You can load assembly parts as you need them instead of loading the entire assembly when you open it.
For details, see the Project > Geometry options in the Open dialog box and the Load on Visibility
command. To load a part, right-click the part in the Assembly tree and click Product > Load Products.
• You can load parts with different levels of details. If you create your fully shattered assembly with more
than one level of detail, you can choose the level of detail on the Open dialog box.
• You can perform incremental updates. Because parts are loaded by reference, you can update only parts
that have changed.

When using fully shattered assemblies, you must be aware of the following points:

• You cannot create fully-shattered files from Composer. Use Sync.

• Create projects with File > New Project , not Save As . Because Composer measurement actors,
animation keys, and other authoring content is stored in the top-level project assembly, that content is lost
if you create the project using Save As and then retranslate the top-level CAD assembly in Sync.
• Fully shattered assemblies reference the last saved configuration of its parts. If your assembly uses multiple
configurations of a part, then it displays the last saved configuration for all instances of the part. Therefore,
you will get improper results when converting (from Sync) in fully shattered mode an assembly that
contains multiple instances of the same part with different configurations.
• You cannot change the neutral properties of a part in a fully shattered assembly because the part is loaded
by reference into the assembly. To change the neutral properties of a part, open the part in its own window.
• When you modify a subassembly such as adding/removing an assembly group or merging/exploding
actors, you break the fully shattered structure. All the associated structure branches will be saved in the
top assembly file.
• Undoing an operation that breaks a fully shattered structure does not restore the fully shattered structure.

Benefits of Each File Type

The table below describes the benefits provided by each Composer file type.
Benefit SMG (.smg) Package (.exe) Product Project
(.smgXml) (.smgProj)
Minimal number of files X X
Includes Composer Player X
Can edit XML X X
Separate product, scenario, and view files X X
Product, scenario, and view files can reside in X

 About the Composer Plug-in for Acrobat

About the Composer Plug-in for Acrobat

The Composer Player and Player Pro installations include the Composer plug-in for Acrobat, which enables you
to view 3D content embedded in PDF files and published in SMG format.

Note: The Composer PDF integration uses PDFNet SDK, copyright © PDFTron™ Systems Inc., 2001-2010,
and distributed by Dassault Systèmes under license. All rights reserved.

About the Acrobat Plug-in

This section provides important information regarding the Acrobat Plug-in.

Important: Before installing Composer Player, you must have run Adobe Reader at least once. If you
omit to do so, the Adobe Reader plug-in will not be properly installed. Note that the version of Adobe
Reader used to install the plug-in is the last one you launched on your computer.

Installing Composer Player installs the plug-in files PlayerControl.dll and PlayerReader.api. The
location of the files depends on what you have installed (Composer, Adobe Reader, or Adobe Acrobat). If the
files are installed in <Composer_install_dir>\Plugins\Acrobat\Reader\Plug_Ins, then
you must copy these files to <Reader_install_dir>\plug_ins or <Acrobat_install_dir>\
plug_ins.

Troubleshooting
This section provides troubleshooting information if you encounter issues using the Acrobat Plug-in.

Disabling Protected Mode

Important: Before opening a PDF containing SMG data in Adobe Reader X or later, you need to make
sure that protected mode is disabled in Adobe Reader.

To disable protected mode:

• In Adobe Reader XI, select Edit > Preferences > Security (Enhanced) > Sandbox Protection and clear
Enable Protected Mode at startup.
• In Adobe Reader X, select Edit > Preferences > General and clear Enable Protected Mode at startup.

Note: Acrobat Reader options are found under Edit > Preferences.

Troubleshooting Other Issues

This table below describes how to troubleshoot miscellaneous issues that may arise with the Acrobat plug-in.

Create a Label
You can create a label linked to an actor.

1. In the Annotations toolbar, click Label.

A text box is created.

2. Click the actor to which you want to link the text box.
3. Position the text box and click to validate.
4. You can create additional labels, or exit the creation mode if you're done.
• To create additional labels, repeat steps 2 and 3.
• To exit the label creation mode, press Escape.

Create a Label with Multiple Lines of Text

You can create a label containing multiple lines of text.

1. Create a label as explained above.

2. Click the label to select it, and choose either of the following methods:
• Click the label again to switch it to edit mode. Type your text, and press Ctrl+Enter each time you want
to create a new line.
• In the Properties pane for the label, under Text, set Text to String. Click in the Text string property
field, then click the ellipsis (...). The Text pane appears. Type your text, and press Enter each time you
want to create a new line.

Create Annotations with Several Lines

You can create multiple attach lines from an annotation.

1. To add a line, drag a line from the annotation target to the destination.

Note: You cannot undo the creation of a line. To remove a line, proceed as explained in the next step.

2. To remove a line, drag the red anchor at the destination into the annotation target .
3. To attach an annotation to 2D panels, create one of the 2D panels before creating the annotation.

17
Working with Annotations

Important: An annotation always has the same number of attach lines in all views. For example, creating
a new attach line for a label in one view adds it to all views containing that label, and you must define
what actor the line is attached to in each view. If you need different numbers of attach lines across views,
create different annotations.

 Security

Security
The Security page lets you manage Composer document passwords and reduce model accuracy for theft protection.
Command Name Description
Password Specifies the password required to open the file.
Confirm password Confirms the password (for improved safety).
Reduce accuracy Reduces model accuracy by the specified amount.

Note: In the case of default document properties, the unit is millimeters.

Important: After each save, the model is degraded. Reduced accuracy prevents the unauthorized
use of intellectual property contained within 3D models. Altering the exact dimensions prevents the
reverse engineering and manufacturing of a part or product. The 3D image is still viewable for the
purposes for which the viewer is authorized.

Tip: You can degrade portions of your model using Secure 3D Brush (Geometry ribbon tab).

21
Signature

Defines the render mode used to display actors in the viewport.

Important:

• This setting is hidden by default. To make it visible, you must create an environment variable,
DS_3DVC_OVERRIDE_RENDER_MODE, and set its value to 1.
• Composer documents generated from Sync do not contain this setting. Once a document is opened
in Composer, the render mode defined in the (default) document properties will be applied when
saving the file.

Note: This setting cannot be configured from Sync.

Outline
This section lets you manage outline settings.

23
Viewport

Command Name Description

Minimum angle
Specifies the minimum angle between two face planes that defines a sharp-edge outline. Smaller values
produce more lines.

Tip: The Outline > Minimum angle property (Properties pane) sets the outline angle per geometry
actor.

Same outline color for all Sets the default outline color for all actors to the selected color. Set Outline > Color (Properties pane) to
actors changes per-actor outline colors. To use outline colors based on actor colors, clear this option.

Vertical axis
This section lets you manage vertical axis settings.
Command Name Description
Vertical axis Determines the default vertical axis after loading. The vertical axis is used to facilitate navigation and to
position the ground. The vertical axis is saved in the Composer file.

Note: This setting cannot be configured from Sync.

Custom camera views

You can define up to four custom camera view orientations using a spherical coordinate system (polar angles)
to define camera position.
Note that Composer uses the best camera rotation to keep verticality of the viewport.
Command Name Description

Soft shadows (Available when Ground shadow is selected.) Specifies the shadow focus, low for sharp and high for blurred.

Text
Specifies annotation properties.
Command Name Description
PMI auto fade
Makes product manufacturing information (PMI) visibility dependent on camera orientation. PMI parallel to the
screen are fully visible. Perpendicular or reversed PMI are transparent. To make PMI always visible, clear this
option.

Callout width
Specifies how callout widths, as defined by the number of characters that can be displayed, are determined:

• Variable (based on callout text) - Sets widths based on callout text; the longer the text, the wider the callout.
You can optionally specify a Minimum callout width. For example, if you want all callouts to be at least two
characters wide, specify 2.
• Uniform (same as largest callout) - Sets all callouts to the width of the widest visible callout. Hidden callouts
are not considered when identifying the widest callout.

Note: These options affect the number of characters a callout can display. Actual callout size can vary
based on callout shape, font family, and font size.

 Output

Output
The Output page lets you configure the Composer compression level and export options.

SMG, SMGXML, SMGPROJ output

These options let you configure the SMG output.
Command Name Description
Geometry compression Sets the amount of compression in Composer files, which affects model tessellation quality.

• Low (high quality) - 32 bytes/point, high measurement quality, large file

• Medium - 16 bytes/point
• High (low quality) - 8 bytes/point, low measurement quality, small file

The compression algorithm uses a bounding box defined by its coordinates: xmin, xmax, ymin, ymax, zmin,
zmax. This bounding box is subdivided into a number of cubes according to the quality of compression
selected:

• Low (high quality): 2^32 * 2^32 * 2^32

• Medium: 2^16 * 2^16 * 2^16
• High (low quality): 2^8 * 2^8 * 2^8

All tops (xi, yi, zi) of the triangulation are laid out on the tops of the cubes contained in the bounding box.
Notes:
When saving a file with medium or high compression, you should consider the following:

• You cannot return to original quality. You must re-import your CAD files if you want to do so.
• Medium or high compression affects geometry precision. In the case of large parts where most of the
precision is taken by the position of the object, little precision is left for elements such as small faces,
lines or vertices.
• Medium or high compression might cause display issues (such as small holes visible in the mesh of a
part, overlapping faces, z-fight, appearance of undesired lines in technical illustration, etc.) in vector
output generated by the Technical Illustration workshop.

To make it short, if geometry precision matters to you, it is recommended to use the Low (high quality)
option.

Write normals Saves normal directions for all faces in Composer files. Composer needs this information to display the
outward or outside faces of parts and assemblies. When selected, file size is larger but file load time is
shorter because Composer does not have to calculate this information. A normal to a flat surface is a
three-dimensional vector that is perpendicular to the surface. A normal to a non-flat surface at a point "p"
on the surface is a vector that is perpendicular to the tangent plane to that surface at "p".
Write outlines Saves outlines along with the 3D model. Thus, whenever the model is opened, or whenever you change to
a render mode that uses outlines, outlines are loaded immediately (as it is no longer required to compute
them each time they must be loaded). Note that selecting this option increases the file size of the SMG
output.

Note: Render modes that use outlines are, for example, Smooth with Outline, Shaded Illustration,
Technical, Silhouette, etc. Outline styles can be Sharp Edges, Construction Edges, or Smart Outlines.

Package output
These options let you configure the package output.
Command Name Description
Language Specifies the language for the Composer Player user interface and online help that is bundled in the package
and for the e-mail text. Select Same as application or select from the installed languages.

 Animation

Animation
The Animation page lets you configure animation speed and the maximum frames between two images.
Command Name Description
Animation speed Specifies the rate at which animation images are displayed in frames per second (FPS). The animation
frame rate is a property of the document. For example, if an animation defines 2 keys at 0 and 90. and the
animation is played at 30 FPS, the duration of the animation is 3 sec.

Note: The animation speed for the National Television System Committee standard (NTSC) is 30
FPS. The animation speed for Phase Alternating Line (PAL) is 25 FPS.

Inter frames min. Specifies the minimum number of frames between two images. Depending on the graphics card and computer
performance, animations might jump due to animation speed. Defining a minimum frame number between
two images can eliminate jumping. Note that animation speed might not be respected.
Animated transition Specifies the transition speed between two views when you drag views into the viewport.
Max. objects Specifies the maximum number of nodes allowed for animated transitions between views. A node is any
atomic unit of a document (property, actor, assembly group, etc.) Larger values can result in choppy
transitions. For large models or for computers with limited RAM, reduce this value to improve performance.

31
Image Output

Image Output
The Image Output page lets you enable anti-aliasing during image generation. Anti-aliasing smooths rough edges
(jaggies) to give the appearance of higher resolution by taking into account how much an ideal edge overlaps
adjacent pixels.
Command Name Description

Anti-aliasing image Activates anti-aliasing for generated images.

output

Multisample Uses multisample anti-aliasing (MSAA), a technique used in computer graphics to improve image quality.

Jittering Uses jittering. This method is higher quality but takes too long for real-time rendering. Use jittering for single
image generation when high quality is required.

Number of passes
(Available when Jittering is selected.) Specifies the number of internal renderings made to create the effect.
More passes take longer to perform but produce better results.

Radius (Available when Jittering is selected.) Specifies the portion of a scene that appears sharp. The image becomes
blurred as you move away from the focal point. The higher the value, the larger the depth of field (less blur).

Project

Project
The Project page lets you configure the default preferences when loading a project.

Geometry
This section lets you configure geometry-related preferences when loading a project.

Note: Sync does not support Geometry settings because they are stored in project (.smgProj) files.

Command Name Description

Load Loads the assembly-tree structure and geometry for products ( .smgProj and .smgXml files). When this
option is cleared, only the tree structure is loaded. To reduce memory usage, clear this option for large
models or when working with only a portion of a model.
Visible actors only Loads geometry for visible actors only.
Show only first level (Available when Load is cleared.) Loads the root and first-level tree structure only (not sub-products or
assembly tree geometry).

Note: When you double-click an assembly or a part node in fully shattered structures (i.e. when
you click the red icon that identifies it), only one level is loaded. To load all levels, right-click and
click Product > Load Products or in the ribbon click Home > Visibility > Visibility > Load on
Visibility.

When this option is cleared, the entire assembly structure is loaded.

Use level of detail
Specifies the default actor mesh detail to load. For example, a screw can have a lower level of detail (LOD)
in a car context than in an engine context. Select one of the following:

• Based on bounding box - The LOD is based on the size of the geometry as compared to the entire
model.
• Low
• Medium
• High

You can define multiple LODs from Sync during the conversion process to Composer format. When opening
an SMG file with LOD in the different Composer products, each actor's geometry is chosen as a function
of the size of the actor compared to the full model size. Note that when resaving the file, only the current
LOD is saved. Moreover, the refinement specified in Input settings is used for the higher LOD. Sub-levels
are automatically defined.

Warning: If an SMG file was converted with several LODs, only the selected LOD is saved. To
keep an SMG file with all LODs, change the file name (to keep the original SMG file). This does
not apply to project ( .smgProj) files.

Load on visibility In loading-on-demand mode ( Home > Visibility > Visibility > Load on Visibility ), loads actor geometry
when a product is not loaded and visibility is activated.

Launch
This section lets you configure launch preferences when loading a project.
Command Name Description
View mode Starts Composer applications in view mode. When you open a model, the first view (as listed in the Views
pane) is displayed. To open models in animation mode at the beginning of the animation (time=0), clear
this option.

Viewport

Viewport
The Viewport page lets you define viewport preferences, such as high-quality rendering effects.

High quality rendering / On demand

Composer Player supports advanced rendering effects for creating high-quality images.
You can choose when to apply effects to your models:
• Real time - Applies the effect while navigating and performing transformations in the viewport.
• Real-time preview - Applies an approximation of the effect in real time and then applies the full effect on
idle. For example, shadow mapping can be too compute intensive for real-time rendering, but a real-time
approximation is important when positioning lights.
• On idle - Applies the effect automatically during computer idle time (not while navigating or performing
transformations).
• On demand - Does not apply the effect automatically. To apply on-demand effects, click Render > On
Demand > High Quality (ribbon) or press A while in the viewport.

Note: Not all options are available for all effects.

Important: For all high-quality rendering effects except Anti-aliasing, the HardwareSupport.Advanced
option must be enabled on the Advanced Settings page, and the effect must be supported by your graphics
card. See Advanced Settings.

Option Description
Per-pixel lighting

• Is required for some capabilities such as cutting plane per-actor color capping, style preview-image
generation, and high-quality rendering effects such as ambient occlusion.
• Improves Technical Illustration workshop results when using color regions and shadows.
• Improves Simplification - Occlusion results.
• Might avoid screen refresh problems associated with other rendering techniques, such as p-buffers
and auxiliary buffers.
• Might reduce bitmap output problems, such as gray or black images.

Note: This option is the same as HardwareSupport.Advanced on the Advanced Settings page.

Standard Disables FBO and other advanced extensions. You can selectively enable or disable rendering techniques,
such as use of p-buffers and auxiliary buffers.

 About Data Paths

About Data Paths

Data paths are sorted lists of paths used to locate resources such as files, profiles, and links. The application uses
data paths to resolve external references when the relative path of a resource cannot be found.

General Information
This topic provides general information about data paths.
Data paths:
• Are not used when resource paths are absolute.
• Unify and extract the location of absolute paths from data files for easy modification.
• Support local, UNC, HTTP, and FTP paths.
• Are stored in files ( DataPath.xml by default) that can be shared by users working on the same project.
• Provide a mechanism for specifying common paths to avoid path duplication:
- Global ( DataPath.CommonGlobalList) paths are appended to all other path lists
- Profiles ( DataPath.CommonProfileList)paths are appended to profile path lists

Notes:
• Path order is important; when a resource is found, the search stops.
• Data paths do not support paths with variables (such as %USERPROFILE%\folder).
• The first time a user runs Composer, a DataPath.xml file is created in the User folder. See Application
Paths.
• Searching many paths to locate resources increases document load time. For best performance, minimize the
number of paths and list heavily used paths first.
• Edit data path files with a text editor. You cannot edit the file from the Data Paths page.

Specifying the DataPath File

Specify your data path file on the Data Paths page.
The default is DataPath.xml in your User folder. This location is stored in the following registry setting:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Dassault Systemes\Composer\Preferences\
DataPath.PathFolderDataPath
To have multiple users on the same machine reference the same data path file, define a HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Dassault Systemes\Composer\Preferences\
DataPath.PathFolderDataPathInstall
This HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE key is not defined by default. The HKEY_CURRENT_USER value overrides
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE.

Note: The full paths for these keys are operating-system dependent.

Behavior on Save
When a .smgXml file is saved, changes might be applied to its references to keep the link between the child
files (which are not saved) and the root (which can be stored in another folder).
In this case:

53
About Data Paths

• Absolute references are not modified.

• Relative references resolved during loading using data paths are not modified. However, if a relative reference
is resolved through the parent file paths, the absolute resolved file path is used to compute the new relative
path to its parent.
• Missing files cannot be resolved, so their parent file paths are used to try to compute their new relative paths.
This behavior is available for project ( .smgProj), product ( .smgXml), and scenario ( .smgSce) files. You
can change the behavior using the Resolve relative references on save option. You can disable the relative path
resolution completely (Always) or only for unresolved paths ( Only resolved paths). The default behavior on
save is to always resolve relative paths (apply modifications on these paths as described above).

of the selected part to avoid breaking the fully-shattered structure. Typically
used for CSZ, lights, and grids.
CrossHighlighting Enables pre-selection and selection cross highlighting of product
manufacturing information ( PMI) and their associated geometry.
IOSaveSmgGeomAs For internal use only.
ProfilesLoadOnDemand
Loads workshop profiles on demand only (that is when selecting a particular
profile in the Profile list of a given workshop). This can be useful when many
profiles are defined, or for profiles stored on a network.
By default, this option is selected and profiles are loaded on demand. Clear
the box if you want all profiles in all workshops to be loaded once the
workshop is opened.
If you change this option, you need to restart Composer for this change to
be taken into account.

Note: Depending on the number and location of profiles to load,

loading all profiles at once can be time-consuming.

PropertiesValueNbOfDecimal Specifies the number of decimal places displayed for floating-point values,
including meta-properties of type Float, in the Properties pane. Valid values
are 0 to 6.
Notes:

• Floating-point properties with slider controls always display 2 decimal

places and are not affected by this option.
• To specify the number of decimals for floating-point values displayed

Category Preference Description

SplitVideoFiles Creates multiple video files, each no larger than 2 gigabytes (GB). An .avi
file cannot exceed 2 GB. When this option is cleared, long animations might
exceed 2 GB, resulting in no file being created.

Note: Because the application does not know what video codec you
are using and at what compression level, the 2 GB limit is computed
using raw video (before compression). Enabling this option when
generating compressed video might produce sub-parts smaller than
2G (after compression).

General AdvancedCurvesDetection Increases the precision of radius measurements for some models and improves
detection for models with very high tessellation (low chordal error). This
option negatively impacts performance, so enable it only when you have
problems.
AutoSave Automatically backs up the currently open Composer files in a Bak folder,
at the interval specified by the AutoSaveInterval setting. The Bak folder is
located in the User folder specified in the Application Paths page.
AutoSaveInterval Specifies the interval, in minutes, at which the currently open Composer files
are to be backed up in the Bak folder.
AutoSaveVersioning Allows versioning by creating an additional backup version of the currently
open Composer files in the Bak folder, at the interval specified by the
AutoSaveInterval setting. In this case, for a given Composer file, backup
versions are saved in a dedicated folder in the User\Bak folder (the folder
name being the same as the file name). The file name format is
filename_YYYYMMDD_HHMM (current year, month, day, hour, minute).
Clear if you want each backup to overwrite the previous one.

AutoSaveVersioningMaxNumberOfFiles When AutoSaveVersioning is selected, specifies the maximum number of

backup files to keep. The higher the number, the more disk space will be
required.

Note: You must enter a value between 1 and 100.

DisableMatchingProperties Defines properties as read-only to prevent value modification in the Properties

pane. Specify a regular expression (regexp) that matches the properties to
disable. For example, to prevent changes to CAD metadata and geometry
actor names, specify: (Meta\..*)|(Actor\.Name)This regexp matches all
properties starting with Meta. and the property Actor.Name. For more
information about regular expressions, see Composer User's Guide: Reference
Information: Regular Expression Syntax.

Note: Disabling Actor.Name also disables renaming of collaborative

actors in the Properties pane. To rename collaborative actors, visit
the Collaboration pane, right-click the actor name and click Rename
Actor (F2).

Tip: To get internal property names (for example, Actor.Name),

use Insert Property on the Text pane, or use File > Properties
> Show XML . Administrators can create the following string
registry value to disable properties for all users on the computer:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\[Wow6432Node\]Dassault

IOErrorLevel Specifies that the Composer Converter (and Sync when calling Composer
Converter) creates output files for successful translations only. To create
output files following non-fatal errors, such as when a resource is not found,
clear this option. For details about Composer Converter return values, see
the Composer Programming Guide.
IOGenerateUnicodeOBJ When saving to Alias Wavefront (.obj) format, generates files with Unicode
encoding. To generate Wavefront files with ANSI encoding (for use by
applications that do not support Unicode), clear this option.

Note: Any Unicode characters in geometry names will be lost.

IOPreview Controls generating a preview thumbnail of the opened file:

• 0: No preview
• 1: Preview generated on hardware (to avoid graphics card issues)
• 2: Preview generated using the graphics accelerator

IOProERemoveRevisionNumber Removes revision numbers from the file names generated from a
Pro/ENGINEER file conversion.

IOSolidWorksTimeOut Specifies the time, in seconds, to wait before starting another conversion
from SOLIDWORKS. The default is 120. Increase this time for large
assemblies in fully-shattered mode.

Note: This parameter is not available in the user interface. It must

be set as a registry setting.

IOU3dQualityOutput Specifies U3D output quality:

• 0: Fast export but larger file size

• 1: Slow export but smaller file size
• 2: Compromise between the two

IOVRMLExportNaming When saving as VRML a file that contains nodes starting with a digit, adds
an underscore character '_' before the first digit (instead of just replacing the
digit with an underscore character '_'). For example, an actor called 12345
will be renamed _12345 instead of _2345 as is the case by default.

IOVRMLExportWriteNormals When saving as VRML, writes normal directions for all faces to VRML (
.wrl) files. To omit normals, which produces smaller files, clear this option.

IOVRMLExportZIP When saving as VRML, creates compressed VRML (.wrl) files, which are
typically much smaller than uncompressed files. Not all applications can
read compressed VRML.

Note: Both compressed and uncompressed VRML files have .wrl

file extensions.

Category Preference Description

VertexWelding Specifies the distance between vertices as a percentage of an actor's bounding
box for which Composer considers vertices to be the same and merges them.
Use this option when there are extra lines in outlines (including vector output)
caused by small holes in the mesh. For example, specify 0.01 to merge
vertices closer than 0.01% of the bounding box. To disable this option, specify
0.

Important:

• A change to the outline calculation algorithm in V6R2011

improved vectorization in most cases but could produce extra
lines for mesh with small holes. Specify a value of 0.01 to restore
pre-V6R2011 outline calculation.
• Vertex welding is performed at file load time (before outline
calculation) and is persistent. When you save your document,
the geometry is different from the original. It is recommended
that you use this option only when there is a problem with
outlines.

PickingDepth Increase this value if you have 3D selection issues. A larger value increases
selection accuracy but affects performance.
Hardware HardwareSupport.Advanced Same as Advanced on the Hardware Support page. See Hardware Support.
HardwareSupport.DedicatedDepthBuffer Allows Composer to create its own depth buffer. Enable this option if ambient
occlusion or silhouettes render poorly. Choose a format that is supported by
your graphics card.

• Disabled - Uses your graphics card's built-in depth buffer. Choose this
option unless you have rendering problems.
• RGBA8 - Best choice for some older cards.
• R32F - Best choice for most newer cards.
• RGBA32F - Best choice for newer cards that do not support R32F.

Note: If the viewport becomes black, try another setting.

HardwareSupport.HighLightEffect
Displays bright green lines around highlighted actors.

HardwareSupport.MirrorBufferSize Specifies the size of the mirror buffer. Reducing the value can improve
performance but might result in mirror reflection pixelation.
HardwareSupport.ShadowBufferSize Specifies the size of the shadow-map buffer. Reducing the value can improve
performance but might result in decreased shadow quality and artifacts.

 About Copy/Paste

About Copy/Paste
Copy/Paste commands let you copy, cut, and paste collaborative and geometry actors. You can also paste text
and images from other applications into Composer Player to create labels and 2D panels, respectively.

About the Copy/Paste Mechanisms

This topic provides general information regarding how copy/paste works in Composer Player.
• Copy/cut/paste for collaborative actors uses the Windows clipboard, so you can copy/cut/paste collaborative
actors across Composer Player documents, and even across Composer applications.
• You cannot copy/cut/paste the following collaborative actors: cutting planes, grids, cameras, coordinate
systems, paths, intersection lines, BOM tables, ground, and compass.
• You cannot paste Composer actors into other applications.
• In Composer Player, you can only paste collaborative actors that can be authored in Composer Player and
for which you have the required right. (See Viewing the Rights Granted for the Active Document.) For
example, you cannot paste arrows because you cannot create arrows in Composer Player, but you can paste
labels when you have the Annotations right.

Tip: If pasted actors are not visible in the current viewport, use Zoom Selection or Zoom Fit All .

Paste Results
Paste results depend on the content. This topic provides information on what results you should expect when
pasting content from the clipboard.
Clipboard Content Paste Result
Collaborative actor New actor of same type named Copy n of original_name.

Note: You can copy/paste collaborative actors across Composer documents, and even across
Composer applications.

Image of supported format (BMP, New image 2D panel named Pasted Image n.
JPG, etc.)
Text New label named Pasted Label n.

Paste Location
The location of pasted actors in the viewport depends on the content type and whether the actor is associated
with (attached to) geometry. This topic provides information on paste location depending on clipboard content.
Clipboard Content Paste Location

2D collaborative actor
Preserves location with slight offset from the original actor:

3D collaborative actor with no association Preserves location. When the original actor is present at that location, the copy completely
overlaps the original.

3D collaborative actor with association: Preserves location in the associated actor's local coordinate system.
Associated actor found (GUID match)

3D collaborative actor with association: Arranges pasted actors in a circle around the viewport center to facilitate reattachment.
Associated actor not found

67
Assembly Pane

Symbol Description
Assemblies are yellow and green.
For SOLIDWORKS and Pro/ENGINEER models only, Composer internally tags nodes it identifies as part or assembly nodes.
Nodes that instantiate SOLIDWORKS .sldpartor Pro/ENGINEER .prt files are part nodes. Nodes that instantiate
SOLIDWORKS .sldasm or Pro/ENGINEER .asm files are assembly nodes.

Parts (.sldprt, .prt files) are yellow.

Internal structures (such as geosets) and other groups are white.

Geometry is green.

Instances of geometry (the same geometry referenced in several positions of the model) are violet and have an 'x' overlay.

Actors with kinematic links defined have a 'K' overlay.

In fully shattered structures and projects, assembly and part nodes in product (.smgXml+ .smgGeom) format are displayed in
red. For details about products and fully shattered structures, see File Types.

Product nodes for which geometry is not loaded have an hourglass overlay. You can load product geometry by:

• Right-clicking and clicking a Products command.

• Double-clicking the icon.
• When Load on Visibility is enabled, enabling actor visibility by clicking the check box. See Visibility Toolbar.

Configurations lists all the saved configurations in a file. Expand the active configuration to view the actors corresponding
to that configuration.

Note: If a file has only one configuration, then it displays the actor corresponding to that configuration.

Scenarios describes the animation of a set of actors. .

Views gives access to different view types:

• Views - Lists Composer views, which is useful for switching views while the Assembly pane is active. For details about
views, see Views Pane.

Selection sets lists selection sets. Selecting a selection set selects all actors in the set, and the Properties pane displays properties
common to all actors in the set. Use selection sets to operate on the same actors repeatedly.

Views Pane

Views Pane
The Views pane lets you manage the views of the active document.
To display the Views pane, click View >Views.
There are two view types:
• Normal views capture all non-neutral viewport properties: positions and properties of all actors, actor visibility,
camera position and zoom scale, Digger position, and so on.
• Custom views, also known as intelligent views, capture only the actors and properties you specify. When
you apply a custom view to a normal view, only the captured properties are applied. For example, you can
apply a custom view that captures only camera position to one or more normal views.
Each view has a preview thumbnail image. Thumbnails for custom views have diagonal lines and shading.
The active view is the one that is currently displayed in the viewport, and on which you are performing
modifications (such as moving or adding actors, changing actors' properties, etc.). It is surrounded by a thick
border in the Views pane. This enables you to differentiate between the active view and other views which may
be selected (these are surrounded by a thin border and highlighted).

Note: When the mouse focus is in the Views panel, the color surrounding the active view and selected
view(s) is a light blue. When the Views panel loses the focus, the color surrounding the active view and
selected view(s) turns to a light gray.

To display a view in the viewport, double-click the view or drag it into the viewport.
The following commands are available when you right-click in the Views pane.
Command Name Description
Update View Updates all captured items in the selected views using the current scene.
Redraw All Views Refreshes all view thumbnail images.

• No deformation - The image maintains its aspect ratio, typically leaving part of the
viewport background uncovered.
• Stretch - The image aspect ratio changes as necessary to fill the entire viewport.
• Environment - The image is projected on a sphere around the scene.

Background color
Defines the primary background color.

Tip: You can create raster images with transparent backgrounds by selecting
Alpha channel in the High Resolution Image workshop.

Foot color Defines the secondary background color. When different from Background color, the
background has a color gradient.

Note: Ensure that Gradient is selected on the Document Properties - Viewport

Background page.

Back culling Disables rendering of back faces (faces not visible from the current camera angle). Back
culling increases rendering speed, but some front faces might disappear when model faces
are not well oriented.

Opacity (Available when Background image path or Motion blur is specified.) Specifies the
background image opacity, from 0 (transparent) to 255 (solid).

Motion blur
Causes moving objects to leave an image trail along the direction of relative motion.
Use Opacity to adjust the blur transparency.

Use coordinate system Specifies the coordinate system. The default is the world coordinate system,
or select a user-defined coordinate system.

Vertical axis Determines the vertical axis. This vertical axis is used to facilitate navigation, the position
of the ground, and the shading. You can choose a vertical axis according to a user-defined
coordinate system. The camera is placed according to this coordinate system.

Viewport Properties

Category Property / Description

Camera Specifies the viewport camera, which determines the viewport orientation and zoom when you first
activate a view. Changing camera orientation using the compass or navigation commands affects
the active camera, not the viewport camera. The Camera viewport property is animatable; your
animations can switch between cameras. If you have multiple viewport panes, Camera is animatable
for the main viewport pane only.

Camera Height (Available in orthogonal view mode.) Specifies the height of the camera according to
the model, which amounts to determining the zoom factor of the viewport.Increasing
the value makes the model smaller.

Camera FOV (Available in perspective view mode.) Specifies the angular extent of the view of the model,
which amounts to determining the zoom factor of the viewport. Increasing the value makes
the model smaller. You can enter a value or use the slider.

Note: The size of the model can depend on the position of the object in the camera
frame.

Publication aspect
Format Specifies the viewport aspect-ratio format:

• Free - Adjusts to the viewport size.

• User defined - Specified by Aspect (width/height).
• 16/9 - Specifies the standard 16:9 format ( Aspect (width/height) is 1.778).
• 4/3 - Specifies the standard 4:3 format ( Aspect (width/height) is 1.333).

For all but Free, black banners appear at the top and bottom of the viewport. Non client color defines
the banner color.

Note: Define paper space instead of publication aspect unless recipients of your content
might have older versions of Composer applications that do not support paper space.

Aspect (width/height) Specifies the aspect ratio. For User defined, type a ratio, otherwise Format
determines the value.

Non client color Specifies the viewport color outside the specified aspect ratio.

Event
Lock rotation Prohibits viewport operations in Composer Player (or Composer with
Lock pan Design Mode disabled). For example, when Lock zoom is
selected, users cannot zoom the model.

of camera position. To apply the light in 3D space (it can appear in front or behind actors),
clear this option.

Lights diffuse
(Not available when Lighting mode is Custom.) Specifies the intensity of scattered
light (as though shined on a rough surface).

Lights specular
(Not available when Lighting mode is Custom.) Specifies the intensity of reflected
light (as though shined on a mirror).

Soft shadowing (Available when Ground Shadow is enabled.) Sharpens or blurs the ground
shadow.

Per-pixel
Displays shaded surfaces based on the color and illumination at each pixel. Per-pixel lighting is
lighting
also known as Phong shading. PPL can improve lighting of models with poor tessellation.
Notes:

• HardwareSupport.Advanced must be enabled. See Advanced Settings

• Requires a graphics card with OpenGL 3.2 or higher.
• This effect is not displayed when using cutting planes or custom render mode.
• You can also enable per-pixel lighting from the ribbon ( Render > Lighting > Per-Pixel
Lighting ).
• You can enable or disable per-pixel lighting for all documents and specify when to render

Shadows
(Available when Per-pixel lighting is selected.) Makes all geometry actors cast and receive shadows,
making rendering for lighted scenes more realistic.
Notes:

• For lighting modes with multiple lights, shadows are cast by one light only. When using three or
more lights, artifacts might result.
• HardwareSupport.Advanced must be enabled. See Advanced Settings
• Requires a graphics card with OpenGL 3.2 or higher.
• Shadow results vary greatly depending on lighting and rendering modes.

Note: Only file://, http://, and ftp:// links are valid in vector output. Composer-specific links (such as
view:// and play://) are ignored.

Link Type Description

file://
Opens a file. Type the full path to the file or use the file browser.

Tip: Selecting a file from the browser sets URL to file:// automatically.

Note: The Pack linked resource property appears in the Properties pane when you define a file://
link. It specifies whether the linked file is included in the Composer document.

http:// Displays the specified Web page in a browser.

ftp://
Displays the specified FTP location in a browser.

view:// Activates the specified Composer view.

Tip: You can also create a view:// link by Ctrl+dragging a view from the Views pane onto an actor.
To create a 2D panel linked to a view, Ctrl+drag a view into empty viewport background.

next:// In animation mode, plays the animation from the current time to the next marker. In view mode, activates the
next view. Because the link definition is relative (does not name a specific marker or view), you do not have
to modify the link when you add or remove markers or views. Use next:// to step through all your markers or
views. To include the entire animation, define markers at the beginning and end of your animation.

Tip: Author > Panels > Image 2D >Next Button creates a 2D panel configured as a "next"

lawsuit) alleging that the Work or a Contribution incorporated within the Work constitutes direct or contributory
patent infringement, then any patent licenses granted to You under this License for that Work shall terminate as
of the date such litigation is filed.
4. Redistribution. You may reproduce and distribute copies of the Work or Derivative Works thereof in any
medium, with or without modifications, and in Source or Object form, provided that You meet the following
conditions:
(a) You must give any other recipients of the Work or Derivative Works a copy of this License; and
(b) You must cause any modified files to carry prominent notices stating that You changed the files; and
© You must retain, in the Source form of any Derivative Works that You distribute, all copyright, patent,
trademark, and attribution notices from the Source form of the Work, excluding those notices that do not pertain
to any part of the Derivative Works; and
(d) If the Work includes a "NOTICE" text file as part of its distribution, then any Derivative Works that You
distribute must include a readable copy of the attribution notices contained within such NOTICE file, excluding
those notices that do not pertain to any part of the Derivative Works, in at least one of the following places:
within a NOTICE text file distributed as part of the Derivative Works; within the Source form or documentation,
if provided along with the Derivative Works; or, within a display generated by the Derivative Works, if and
wherever such third-party notices normally appear. The contents of the NOTICE file are for informational
purposes only and do not modify the License. You may add Your own attribution notices within Derivative
Works that You distribute, alongside or as an addendum to the NOTICE text from the Work, provided that such
additional attribution notices cannot be construed as modifying the License.
You may add Your own copyright statement to Your modifications and may provide additional or different
license terms and conditions for use, reproduction, or distribution of Your modifications, or for any such Derivative
Works as a whole, provided Your use, reproduction, and distribution of the Work otherwise complies with the
conditions stated in this License.
5. Submission of Contributions. Unless You explicitly state otherwise, any Contribution intentionally submitted
for inclusion in the Work by You to the Licensor shall be under the terms and conditions of this License, without
any additional terms or conditions. Notwithstanding the above, nothing herein shall supersede or modify the
terms of any separate license agreement you may have executed with Licensor regarding such Contributions.
6. Trademarks. This License does not grant permission to use the trade names, trademarks, service marks, or
product names of the Licensor, except as required for reasonable and customary use in describing the origin of
the Work and reproducing the content of the NOTICE file.
7. Disclaimer of Warranty. Unless required by applicable law or agreed to in writing, Licensor provides the
Work (and each Contributor provides its Contributions) on an "AS IS" BASIS, WITHOUT WARRANTIES OR
CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, either express or implied, including, without limitation, any warranties or

conditions of TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY, or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR

PURPOSE. You are solely responsible for determining the appropriateness of using or redistributing the Work
and assume any risks associated with Your exercise of permissions under this License.
8. Limitation of Liability. In no event and under no legal theory, whether in tort (including negligence), contract,
or otherwise, unless required by applicable law (such as deliberate and grossly negligent acts) or agreed to in
writing, shall any Contributor be liable to You for damages, including any direct, indirect, special, incidental,
or consequential damages of any character arising as a result of this License or out of the use or inability to use
the Work (including but not limited to damages for loss of goodwill, work stoppage, computer failure or
malfunction, or any and all other commercial damages or losses), even if such Contributor has been advised of
the possibility of such damages.
9. Accepting Warranty or Additional Liability. While redistributing the Work or Derivative Works thereof, You
may choose to offer, and charge a fee for, acceptance of support, warranty, indemnity, or other liability obligations
and/or rights consistent with this License. However, in accepting such obligations, You may act only on Your
own behalf and on Your sole responsibility, not on behalf of any other Contributor, and only if You agree to
indemnify, defend, and hold each Contributor harmless for any liability incurred by, or claims asserted against,
such Contributor by reason of your accepting any such warranty or additional liability.

Artistic License 2.0

The Artistic License 2.0
Copyright © 2000-2006, The Perl Foundation.
Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this license document, but changing it is not
allowed.
Preamble
This license establishes the terms under which a given free software Package may be copied, modified, distributed,
and/or redistributed. The intent is that the Copyright Holder maintains some artistic control over the development
of that Package while still keeping the Package available as open source and free software.
You are always permitted to make arrangements wholly outside of this license directly with the Copyright Holder
of a given Package. If the terms of this license do not permit the full use that you propose to make of the Package,
you should contact the Copyright Holder and seek a different licensing arrangement.
Definitions
"Copyright Holder" means the individual(s) or organization(s) named in the copyright notice for the entire
Package.
"Contributor" means any party that has contributed code or other material to the Package, in accordance with
the Copyright Holder's procedures.
"You" and "your" means any person who would like to copy, distribute, or modify the Package.
"Package" means the collection of files distributed by the Copyright Holder, and derivatives of that collection
and/or of those files. A given Package may consist of either the Standard Version, or a Modified Version.
"Distribute" means providing a copy of the Package or making it accessible to anyone else, or in the case of a
company or organization, to others outside of your company or organization.
"Distributor Fee" means any fee that you charge for Distributing this Package or providing support for this
Package to another party. It does not mean licensing fees.
"Standard Version" refers to the Package if it has not been modified, or has been modified only in ways explicitly
requested by the Copyright Holder.

10 Legal Notices
 Legal Notices

"Modified Version" means the Package, if it has been changed, and such changes were not explicitly requested
by the Copyright Holder.
"Original License" means this Artistic License as Distributed with the Standard Version of the Package, in its
current version or as it may be modified by The Perl Foundation in the future.
"Source" form means the source code, documentation source, and configuration files for the Package.
"Compiled" form means the compiled bytecode, object code, binary, or any other form resulting from mechanical
transformation or translation of the Source form.
Permission for Use and Modification Without Distribution
(1) You are permitted to use the Standard Version and create and use Modified Versions for any purpose without
restriction, provided that you do not Distribute the Modified Version.
Permissions for Redistribution of the Standard Version
(2) You may Distribute verbatim copies of the Source form of the Standard Version of this Package in any
medium without restriction, either gratis or for a Distributor Fee, provided that you duplicate all of the original
copyright notices and associated disclaimers. At your discretion, such verbatim copies may or may not include
a Compiled form of the Package.
(3) You may apply any bug fixes, portability changes, and other modifications made available from the Copyright
Holder. The resulting Package will still be considered the Standard Version, and as such will be subject to the
Original License.
Distribution of Modified Versions of the Package as Source
(4) You may Distribute your Modified Version as Source (either gratis or for a Distributor Fee, and with or
without a Compiled form of the Modified Version) provided that you clearly document how it differs from the
Standard Version, including, but not limited to, documenting any non-standard features, executables, or modules,
and provided that you do at least ONE of the following:
(a) make the Modified Version available to the Copyright Holder of the Standard Version, under the Original
License, so that the Copyright Holder may include your modifications in the Standard Version.
(b) ensure that installation of your Modified Version does not prevent the user installing or running the Standard
Version. In addition, the Modified Version must bear a name that is different from the name of the Standard
Version.
© allow anyone who receives a copy of the Modified Version to make the Source form of the Modified Version
available to others under
(i) the Original License or
(ii) a license that permits the licensee to freely copy, modify and redistribute the Modified Version using the
same licensing terms that apply to the copy that the licensee received, and requires that the Source form of the
Modified Version, and of any works derived from it, be made freely available in that license fees are prohibited
but Distributor Fees are allowed.
Distribution of Compiled Forms of the Standard Version or Modified Versions without the Source
(5) You may Distribute Compiled forms of the Standard Version without the Source, provided that you include
complete instructions on how to get the Source of the Standard Version. Such instructions must be valid at the
time of your distribution. If these instructions, at any time while you are carrying out such distribution, become
invalid, you must provide new instructions on demand or cease further distribution. If you provide valid instructions
or cease distribution within thirty days after you become aware that the instructions are invalid, then you do not
forfeit any of your rights under this license.
(6) You may Distribute a Modified Version in Compiled form without the Source, provided that you comply
with Section 4 with respect to the Source of the Modified Version.

Aggregating or Linking the Package

(7) You may aggregate the Package (either the Standard Version or Modified Version) with other packages and
Distribute the resulting aggregation provided that you do not charge a licensing fee for the Package. Distributor
Fees are permitted, and licensing fees for other components in the aggregation are permitted. The terms of this
license apply to the use and Distribution of the Standard or Modified Versions as included in the aggregation.
(8) You are permitted to link Modified and Standard Versions with other works, to embed the Package in a larger
work of your own, or to build stand-alone binary or bytecode versions of applications that include the Package,
and Distribute the result without restriction, provided the result does not expose a direct interface to the Package.
Items That are Not Considered Part of a Modified Version
(9) Works (including, but not limited to, modules and scripts) that merely extend or make use of the Package,
do not, by themselves, cause the Package to be a Modified Version. In addition, such works are not considered
parts of the Package itself, and are not subject to the terms of this license.
General Provisions
(10) Any use, modification, and distribution of the Standard or Modified Versions is governed by this Artistic
License. By using, modifying or distributing the Package, you accept this license. Do not use, modify, or distribute
the Package, if you do not accept this license.
(11) If your Modified Version has been derived from a Modified Version made by someone other than you, you
are nevertheless required to ensure that your Modified Version complies with the requirements of this license.
(12) This license does not grant you the right to use any trademark, service mark, tradename, or logo of the
Copyright Holder.
(13) This license includes the non-exclusive, worldwide, free-of-charge patent license to make, have made, use,
offer to sell, sell, import and otherwise transfer the Package with respect to any patent claims licensable by the
Copyright Holder that are necessarily infringed by the Package. If you institute patent litigation (including a
cross-claim or counterclaim) against any party alleging that the Package constitutes direct or contributory patent
infringement, then this Artistic License to you shall terminate on the date that such litigation is filed.
(14) Disclaimer of Warranty:
THE PACKAGE IS PROVIDED BY THE COPYRIGHT HOLDER AND CONTRIBUTORS "AS IS" AND
WITHOUT ANY EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES. THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR NON-INFRINGEMENT ARE
DISCLAIMED TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY YOUR LOCAL LAW. UNLESS REQUIRED BY LAW,
NO COPYRIGHT HOLDER OR CONTRIBUTOR WILL BE LIABLE FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT,
INCIDENTAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING IN ANY WAY OUT OF THE USE OF THE

GNU Lesser General Public License v2.1 only

GNU LESSER GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
Version 2.1, February 1999
Copyright © 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.]
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.

16 Legal Notices
 Legal Notices

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.

Legal Notices 17
Legal Notices

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

Legal Notices 19
Legal Notices

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.

GNU LESSER GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
Version 3, 29 June 2007
Copyright © 2007 Free Software Foundation, Inc. <https://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".

20 Legal Notices
 Legal Notices

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.

Legal Notices 21
Legal Notices

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 GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
Version 3, 29 June 2007
Copyright © 2007 Free Software Foundation, Inc. <https://fsf.org/>
Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this license document, but changing it is not
allowed.
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.

22 Legal Notices
 Legal Notices

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.

Legal Notices 23
Legal Notices

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

24 Legal Notices
 Legal Notices

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.

Legal Notices 25
Legal Notices

"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.

26 Legal Notices
 Legal Notices

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.

Legal Notices 27
Legal Notices

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

28 Legal Notices
 Legal Notices

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 © <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
<https://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 © <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 <https://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 <https://www.gnu.org/ licenses/why-not-lgpl.html>.

GNU LIBRARY GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
Version 2, June 1991
Copyright © 1991 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
51 Franklin St, 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 library GPL. It is numbered 2 because it goes with version 2 of the
ordinary GPL.]
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 Library General Public License, applies to some specially designated Free Software Foundation
software, and to any other libraries whose authors decide to use it. You can use it for your libraries, 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
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 a
program 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.
Our method of protecting your rights has two steps: (1) copyright the library, and (2) offer you this license which
gives you legal permission to copy, distribute and/or modify the library.
Also, for each distributor's protection, we want to make certain that everyone understands that there is no warranty
for this free library. If the library is modified by someone else and passed on, we want its recipients to know
that what they have is not the original version, 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 companies
distributing free software will individually obtain patent licenses, thus in effect transforming the program into
proprietary software. To prevent this, we have made it clear that any patent must be licensed for everyone's free
use or not licensed at all.

30 Legal Notices
 Legal Notices

Most GNU software, including some libraries, is covered by the ordinary GNU General Public License, which
was designed for utility programs. This license, the GNU Library General Public License, applies to certain
designated libraries. This license is quite different from the ordinary one; be sure to read it in full, and don't
assume that anything in it is the same as in the ordinary license.
The reason we have a separate public license for some libraries is that they blur the distinction we usually make
between modifying or adding to a program and simply using it. Linking a program with a library, without
changing the library, is in some sense simply using the library, and is analogous to running a utility program or
application program. However, in a textual and legal sense, the linked executable is a combined work, a derivative
of the original library, and the ordinary General Public License treats it as such.
Because of this blurred distinction, using the ordinary General Public License for libraries did not effectively
promote software sharing, because most developers did not use the libraries. We concluded that weaker conditions
might promote sharing better.
However, unrestricted linking of non-free programs would deprive the users of those programs of all benefit
from the free status of the libraries themselves. This Library General Public License is intended to permit
developers of non-free programs to use free libraries, while preserving your freedom as a user of such programs
to change the free libraries that are incorporated in them. (We have not seen how to achieve this as regards
changes in header files, but we have achieved it as regards changes in the actual functions of the Library.) The
hope is that this will lead to faster development of free libraries.
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, while the latter only works together with the library.
Note that it is possible for a library to be covered by the ordinary General Public License rather than by this
special one.
TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION
0. This License Agreement applies to any software library which contains a notice placed by the copyright holder
or other authorized party saying it may be distributed under the terms of this Library 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.

Legal Notices 31
Legal Notices

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.

32 Legal Notices
 Legal Notices

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 compile 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) 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.
c) 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.
d) 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 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.
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

Legal Notices 33
Legal Notices

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 to 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 Library 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.

with other software (except as part of the Contributor Version) or other devices; or 4) under Patent Claims
infringed by Covered Code in the absence of Modifications made by that Contributor.
3. Distribution Obligations.
3.1. Application of License. The Modifications which You create or to which You contribute are governed by
the terms of this License, including without limitation Section 2.2. The Source Code version of Covered Code
may be distributed only under the terms of this License or a future version of this License released under Section
6.1, and You must include a copy of this License with every copy of the Source Code You distribute. You may
not offer or impose any terms on any Source Code version that alters or restricts the applicable version of this
License or the recipients' rights hereunder. However, You may include an additional document offering the
additional rights described in Section 3.5.
3.2. Availability of Source Code. Any Modification which You create or to which You contribute must be made
available in Source Code form under the terms of this License either on the same media as an Executable version
or via an accepted Electronic Distribution Mechanism to anyone to whom you made an Executable version
available; and if made available via Electronic Distribution Mechanism, must remain available for at least twelve
(12) months after the date it initially became available, or at least six (6) months after a subsequent version of
that particular Modification has been made available to such recipients. You are responsible for ensuring that
the Source Code version remains available even if the Electronic Distribution Mechanism is maintained by a
third party.
3.3. Description of Modifications. You must cause all Covered Code to which You contribute to contain a file
documenting the changes You made to create that Covered Code and the date of any change. You must include
a prominent statement that the Modification is derived, directly or indirectly, from Original Code provided by
the Initial Developer and including the name of the Initial Developer in (a) the Source Code, and (b) in any notice
in an Executable version or related documentation in which You describe the origin or ownership of the Covered
Code.
3.4. Intellectual Property Matters
(a) Third Party Claims
If Contributor has knowledge that a license under a third party's intellectual property rights is required to exercise
the rights granted by such Contributor under Sections 2.1 or 2.2, Contributor must include a text file with the
Source Code distribution titled "LEGAL" which describes the claim and the party making the claim in sufficient
detail that a recipient will know whom to contact. If Contributor obtains such knowledge after the Modification
is made available as described in Section 3.2, Contributor shall promptly modify the LEGAL file in all copies
Contributor makes available thereafter and shall take other steps (such as notifying appropriate mailing lists or
newsgroups) reasonably calculated to inform those who received the Covered Code that new knowledge has
been obtained.
(b) Contributor APIs
If Contributor's Modifications include an application programming interface and Contributor has knowledge of
patent licenses which are reasonably necessary to implement that API, Contributor must also include this
information in the LEGAL file.
© Representations.
Contributor represents that, except as disclosed pursuant to Section 3.4 (a) above, Contributor believes that
Contributor's Modifications are Contributor's original creation(s) and/or Contributor has sufficient rights to grant
the rights conveyed by this License.
3.5. Required Notices. You must duplicate the notice in Exhibit A in each file of the Source Code. If it is not
possible to put such notice in a particular Source Code file due to its structure, then You must include such notice
in a location (such as a relevant directory) where a user would be likely to look for such a notice. If You created
one or more Modification(s) You may add your name as a Contributor to the notice described in Exhibit A. You
must also duplicate this License in any documentation for the Source Code where You describe recipients' rights
or ownership rights relating to Covered Code. You may choose to offer, and to charge a fee for, warranty, support,

38 Legal Notices
 Legal Notices

indemnity or liability obligations to one or more recipients of Covered Code. However, You may do so only on
Your own behalf, and not on behalf of the Initial Developer or any Contributor. You must make it absolutely
clear than any such warranty, support, indemnity or liability obligation is offered by You alone, and You hereby
agree to indemnify the Initial Developer and every Contributor for any liability incurred by the Initial Developer
or such Contributor as a result of warranty, support, indemnity or liability terms You offer.
3.6. Distribution of Executable Versions. You may distribute Covered Code in Executable form only if the
requirements of Sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, 3.4 and 3.5 have been met for that Covered Code, and if You include a
notice stating that the Source Code version of the Covered Code is available under the terms of this License,
including a description of how and where You have fulfilled the obligations of Section 3.2. The notice must be
conspicuously included in any notice in an Executable version, related documentation or collateral in which You
describe recipients' rights relating to the Covered Code. You may distribute the Executable version of Covered
Code or ownership rights under a license of Your choice, which may contain terms different from this License,
provided that You are in compliance with the terms of this License and that the license for the Executable version
does not attempt to limit or alter the recipient's rights in the Source Code version from the rights set forth in this
License. If You distribute the Executable version under a different license You must make it absolutely clear
that any terms which differ from this License are offered by You alone, not by the Initial Developer or any
Contributor. You hereby agree to indemnify the Initial Developer and every Contributor for any liability incurred
by the Initial Developer or such Contributor as a result of any such terms You offer.
3.7. Larger Works. You may create a Larger Work by combining Covered Code with other code not governed
by the terms of this License and distribute the Larger Work as a single product. In such a case, You must make
sure the requirements of this License are fulfilled for the Covered Code.
4. Inability to Comply Due to Statute or Regulation.
If it is impossible for You to comply with any of the terms of this License with respect to some or all of the
Covered Code due to statute, judicial order, or regulation then You must: (a) comply with the terms of this
License to the maximum extent possible; and (b) describe the limitations and the code they affect. Such description
must be included in the LEGAL file described in Section 3.4 and must be included with all distributions of the
Source Code. Except to the extent prohibited by statute or regulation, such description must be sufficiently
detailed for a recipient of ordinary skill to be able to understand it.
5. Application of this License.
This License applies to code to which the Initial Developer has attached the notice in Exhibit A and to related
Covered Code.
6. Versions of the License.
6.1. New Versions
Netscape Communications Corporation ("Netscape") may publish revised and/or new versions of the License
from time to time. Each version will be given a distinguishing version number.
6.2. Effect of New Versions
Once Covered Code has been published under a particular version of the License, You may always continue to
use it under the terms of that version. You may also choose to use such Covered Code under the terms of any
subsequent version of the License published by Netscape. No one other than Netscape has the right to modify
the terms applicable to Covered Code created under this License.
6.3. Derivative Works
If You create or use a modified version of this License (which you may only do in order to apply it to code which
is not already Covered Code governed by this License), You must (a) rename Your license so that the phrases
"Mozilla", "MOZILLAPL", "MOZPL", "Netscape", "MPL", "NPL" or any confusingly similar phrase do not
appear in your license (except to note that your license differs from this License) and (b) otherwise make it clear
that Your version of the license contains terms which differ from the Mozilla Public License and Netscape Public

License. (Filling in the name of the Initial Developer, Original Code or Contributor in the notice described in
Exhibit A shall not of themselves be deemed to be modifications of this License.)
7. DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTY
COVERED CODE IS PROVIDED UNDER THIS LICENSE ON AN "AS IS" BASIS, WITHOUT WARRANTY
OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION,
WARRANTIES THAT THE COVERED CODE IS FREE OF DEFECTS, MERCHANTABLE, FIT FOR A
PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR NON-INFRINGING. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND
PERFORMANCE OF THE COVERED CODE IS WITH YOU. SHOULD ANY COVERED CODE PROVE
DEFECTIVE IN ANY RESPECT, YOU (NOT THE INITIAL DEVELOPER OR ANY OTHER
CONTRIBUTOR) ASSUME THE COST OF ANY NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
THIS DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTY CONSTITUTES AN ESSENTIAL PART OF THIS LICENSE. NO
USE OF ANY COVERED CODE IS AUTHORIZED HEREUNDER EXCEPT UNDER THIS DISCLAIMER.
8. Termination
8.1. This License and the rights granted hereunder will terminate automatically if You fail to comply with terms
herein and fail to cure such breach within 30 days of becoming aware of the breach. All sublicenses to the
Covered Code which are properly granted shall survive any termination of this License. Provisions which, by
their nature, must remain in effect beyond the termination of this License shall survive.
8.2. If You initiate litigation by asserting a patent infringement claim (excluding declatory judgment actions)
against Initial Developer or a Contributor (the Initial Developer or Contributor against whom You file such
action is referred to as "Participant") alleging that:
a. such Participant's Contributor Version directly or indirectly infringes any patent, then any and all rights granted
by such Participant to You under Sections 2.1 and/or 2.2 of this License shall, upon 60 days notice from Participant
terminate prospectively, unless if within 60 days after receipt of notice You either: (i) agree in writing to pay
Participant a mutually agreeable reasonable royalty for Your past and future use of Modifications made by such
Participant, or (ii) withdraw Your litigation claim with respect to the Contributor Version against such Participant.
If within 60 days of notice, a reasonable royalty and payment arrangement are not mutually agreed upon in
writing by the parties or the litigation claim is not withdrawn, the rights granted by Participant to You under
Sections 2.1 and/or 2.2 automatically terminate at the expiration of the 60 day notice period specified above.
b. any software, hardware, or device, other than such Participant's Contributor Version, directly or indirectly
infringes any patent, then any rights granted to You by such Participant under Sections 2.1(b) and 2.2(b) are
revoked effective as of the date You first made, used, sold, distributed, or had made, Modifications made by that
Participant.
8.3. If You assert a patent infringement claim against Participant alleging that such Participant's Contributor
Version directly or indirectly infringes any patent where such claim is resolved (such as by license or settlement)
prior to the initiation of patent infringement litigation, then the reasonable value of the licenses granted by such
Participant under Sections 2.1 or 2.2 shall be taken into account in determining the amount or value of any
payment or license.
8.4. In the event of termination under Sections 8.1 or 8.2 above, all end user license agreements (excluding
distributors and resellers) which have been validly granted by You or any distributor hereunder prior to termination
shall survive termination.
9. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES AND UNDER NO LEGAL THEORY, WHETHER TORT (INCLUDING
NEGLIGENCE), CONTRACT, OR OTHERWISE, SHALL YOU, THE INITIAL DEVELOPER, ANY OTHER
CONTRIBUTOR, OR ANY DISTRIBUTOR OF COVERED CODE, OR ANY SUPPLIER OF ANY OF SUCH
PARTIES, BE LIABLE TO ANY PERSON FOR ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, OR
CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OF ANY CHARACTER INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, DAMAGES
FOR LOSS OF GOODWILL, WORK STOPPAGE, COMPUTER FAILURE OR MALFUNCTION, OR ANY
AND ALL OTHER COMMERCIAL DAMAGES OR LOSSES, EVEN IF SUCH PARTY SHALL HAVE

40 Legal Notices
 Legal Notices

BEEN INFORMED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. THIS LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

SHALL NOT APPLY TO LIABILITY FOR DEATH OR PERSONAL INJURY RESULTING FROM SUCH
PARTY'S NEGLIGENCE TO THE EXTENT APPLICABLE LAW PROHIBITS SUCH LIMITATION. SOME
JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF INCIDENTAL OR
CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO THIS EXCLUSION AND LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
10. U.S. government end users
The Covered Code is a "commercial item," as that term is defined in 48 C.F.R. 2.101 (Oct. 1995), consisting of
"commercial computer software" and "commercial computer software documentation," as such terms are used
in 48 C.F.R. 12.212 (Sept. 1995). Consistent with 48 C.F.R. 12.212 and 48 C.F.R. 227.7202-1 through 227.7202-4
(June 1995), all U.S. Government End Users acquire Covered Code with only those rights set forth herein.
11. Miscellaneous
This License represents the complete agreement concerning subject matter hereof. If any provision of this License
is held to be unenforceable, such provision shall be reformed only to the extent necessary to make it enforceable.
This License shall be governed by California law provisions (except to the extent applicable law, if any, provides
otherwise), excluding its conflict-of-law provisions. With respect to disputes in which at least one party is a
citizen of, or an entity chartered or registered to do business in the United States of America, any litigation
relating to this License shall be subject to the jurisdiction of the Federal Courts of the Northern District of
California, with venue lying in Santa Clara County, California, with the losing party responsible for costs,
including without limitation, court costs and reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses. The application of the
United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods is expressly excluded. Any law or
regulation which provides that the language of a contract shall be construed against the drafter shall not apply
to this License.
12. Responsibility for claims
As between Initial Developer and the Contributors, each party is responsible for claims and damages arising,
directly or indirectly, out of its utilization of rights under this License and You agree to work with Initial Developer
and Contributors to distribute such responsibility on an equitable basis. Nothing herein is intended or shall be
deemed to constitute any admission of liability.
13. Multiple-licensed code
Initial Developer may designate portions of the Covered Code as "Multiple-Licensed". "Multiple-Licensed"
means that the Initial Developer permits you to utilize portions of the Covered Code under Your choice of the
MPL or the alternative licenses, if any, specified by the Initial Developer in the file described in Exhibit A.

sold by themselves. The fonts, including any derivative works, can be bundled, embedded, redistributed and/or
sold with any software provided that any reserved names are not used by derivative works. The fonts and
derivatives, however, cannot be released under any other type of license. The requirement for fonts to remain
under this license does not apply to any document created using the fonts or their derivatives.
DEFINITIONS
"Font Software" refers to the set of files released by the Copyright Holder(s) under this license and clearly marked

permission is granted by the corresponding Copyright Holder. This restriction only applies to the primary font
name as presented to the users.
4) The name(s) of the Copyright Holder(s) or the Author(s) of the Font Software shall not be used to promote,
