Licence texts

GNU LESSER GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE

Version 2.1, February 1999

USA

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

allowed.

[This is the first released version of the Lesser GPL. It also counts as the successor of the GNU Library Public

License, version 2, hence the version number 2.1.]

Preamble

The licenses for most software are designed to take away your freedom to share and change it. By contrast, the

GNU General Public Licenses are intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free software--to

make sure the software is free for all its users.

This license, the Lesser General Public License, applies to some specially designated software packages--typi-

cally libraries--of the Free Software Foundation and other authors who decide to use it. You can use it too, but

we suggest you first think carefully about whether this license or the ordinary General Public License is the

better strategy to use in any particular case, based on the explanations below.

When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom of use, not price. Our General Public Licenses are

designed to make sure that you have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for this

service if you wish); that you receive source code or can get it if you want it; that you can change the software

and use pieces of it in new free programs; and that you are informed that you can do these things.

To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid distributors to deny you these rights or to ask

you to surrender these rights. These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you distribute

copies of the library or if you modify it.

For example, if you distribute copies of the library, whether gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all

the rights that we gave you. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the source code. If you link

other code with the library, you must provide complete object files to the recipients, so that they can relink

them with the library after making changes to the library and recompiling it. And you must show them these

terms so they know their rights.
