  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 copyright the  
library, and (2) we offer you this license, which 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
