GNU Lesser general public license,

version 2.1

Version 2.1, February 1999

Temple Place, Suite 330, Boston, MA 02111-1307 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.

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.

We protect your rights with a two-step method: (1) we

gives you legal permission to copy, distribute and/or modify the

library.

To protect each distributor, we want to make it very clear

that there is no warranty for the free library. Also, if the library

is modified by someone else and passed on, the recipients

should know that what they have is not the original version,

so that the original author's reputation will not be affected by

problems that might be introduced by others.
^L
Finally, software patents pose a constant threat to the

existence of any free program. We wish to make sure that

a company cannot effectively restrict the users of a free

program by obtaining a restrictive license from a patent holder.

Therefore, we insist that any patent license obtained for a

version of the library must be consistent with the full freedom

of use specified in this license.

Most GNU software, including some libraries, is covered

by the ordinary GNU General Public License. This license,

the GNU Lesser General Public License, applies to certain

designated libraries, and is quite different from the ordinary

General Public License. We use this license for certain libraries

in order to permit linking those libraries into non-free programs.

When a program is linked with a library, whether statically or

using a shared library, the combination of the two is legally

speaking a combined work, a derivative of the original library.

The ordinary General Public License therefore permits such

linking only if the entire combination fits its criteria of freedom.

The Lesser General Public License permits more lax criteria for

linking other code with the library.

We call this license the "Lesser" General Public License

because it does Less to protect the user's freedom than the

ordinary General Public License. It also provides other free

software developers Less of an advantage over competing

non-free programs. These disadvantages are the reason we

use the ordinary General Public License for many libraries.

However, the Lesser license provides advantages in certain

special circumstances.

For example, on rare occasions, there may be a special need

to encourage the widest possible use of a certain library, so

that it becomes a de-facto standard. To achieve this, non-free

programs must be allowed to use the library. A more frequent

case is that a free library does the same job as widely used

non-free libraries. In this case, there is little to gain by limiting

the free library to free software only, so we use the Lesser

General Public License.

In other cases, permission to use a particular library in non-

free programs enables a greater number of people to use a

large body of free software. For example, permission to use

the GNU C Library in non-free programs enables many more

people to use the whole GNU operating system, as well as its

variant, the GNU/Linux operating system.

Although the Lesser General Public License is Less protective

of the users' freedom, it does ensure that the user of a

program that is linked with the Library has the freedom and the

wherewithal to run that program using a modified version of the

Library.

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,

whereas the latter must be combined with the library in order

to run.

GNU LESSER GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION

AND MODIFICATION

0. This License Agreement applies to any software library or

other program which contains a notice placed by the copyright

holder or other authorized party saying it may be distributed

under the terms of this Lesser 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
