GNU LESSER GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE  

       Version 2.1, February 1999  

 

Copyright (C) 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.]  

 

    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--typically 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.
