analogous to running a utility program or application program.  However, in 
a textual and legal sense, the linked executable is a combined work, a 
derivative of the original library, and the ordinary General Public License 
treats it as such. 
 
  Because of this blurred distinction, using the ordinary General 
Public License for libraries did not effectively promote software 
sharing, because most developers did not use the libraries.  We 
concluded that weaker conditions might promote sharing better. 
 
  However, unrestricted linking of non-free programs would deprive the 
users of those programs of all benefit from the free status of the 
libraries themselves.  This Library General Public License is intended to 
permit developers of non-free programs to use free libraries, while 
preserving your freedom as a user of such programs to change the free 
libraries that are incorporated in them.  (We have not seen how to achieve 
this as regards changes in header files, but we have achieved it as regards 
changes in the actual functions of the Library.)  The hope is that this 
will lead to faster development of free libraries. 
 
  The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and 
modification follow.  Pay close attention to the difference between a 
"work based on the library" and a "work that uses the library".  The 
former contains code derived from the library, while the latter only 
works together with the library. 
 
  Note that it is possible for a library to be covered by the ordinary 
General Public License rather than by this special one. 
 
 
 
  GNU LIBRARY GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE 
   TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION 
 
  0. This License Agreement applies to any software library which 
contains a notice placed by the copyright holder or other authorized 
party saying it may be distributed under the terms of this Library 
General Public License (also called "this License").  Each licensee is 
addressed as "you". 
 
  A "library" means a collection of software functions and/or data 
prepared so as to be conveniently linked with application programs 
(which use some of those functions and data) to form executables. 
 
  The "Library", below, refers to any such software library or work 
which has been distributed under these terms.  A "work based on the 
Library" means either the Library or any derivative work under 
copyright law: that is to say, a work containing the Library or a 
portion of it, either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated 
straightforwardly into another language.  (Hereinafter, translation is 
included without limitation in the term "modification".) 
 
  "Source code" for a work means the preferred form of the work for 
making modifications to it.  For a library, complete source code means 
all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any associated 
interface definition files, plus the scripts used to control compilation 
and installation of the library. 
 
  Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not
