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.
