How to apply these terms to your new libraries
If you develop a new library, and you want it to be of the great-
est possible use to the public, we recommend making it free soft-
ware that everyone can redistribute and change. You can do so
by permitting redistribution under these terms (or, alternatively,
under the terms of the ordinary General Public License).
To apply these terms, attach the following notices to the library.
It is safest to attach them to the start of each source file to most
effectively convey the exclusion of warranty; and each file should
have at least the “copyright” line and a pointer to where the full
notice is found.
one line to give the library's name and a brief idea of what it does.
