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 war-
ranty; and each file should have at least the “copyright” line
and a pointer to where the full notice is found.
one line to give the library's name and a brief idea of what
it does.

claimer” for the library, if necessary. Here is a sample; alter
the names:
