  When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, 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 or use pieces of it 
in new free programs; and that you know you can do these things. 
 
  To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid 
anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the 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 a program 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. 
 
  Our method of protecting your rights has two steps: (1) copyright 
the library, and (2) offer you this license which gives you legal 
permission to copy, distribute and/or modify the library. 
 
  Also, for each distributor's protection, we want to make certain 
that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free 
library.  If the library is modified by someone else and passed on, we 
want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original 
version, so that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on 
the original authors' reputations. 
 
  Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software 
patents.  We wish to avoid the danger that companies distributing free 
software will individually obtain patent licenses, thus in effect 
transforming the program into proprietary software.  To prevent this, 
we have made it clear that any patent must be licensed for everyone's 
free use or not licensed at all. 
 
  Most GNU software, including some libraries, is covered by the ordinary 
GNU General Public License, which was designed for utility programs.  This 
license, the GNU Library General Public License, applies to certain 
designated libraries.  This license is quite different from the ordinary 
one; be sure to read it in full, and don't assume that anything in it is 
the same as in the ordinary license. 
 
  The reason we have a separate public license for some libraries is that 
they blur the distinction we usually make between modifying or adding to a 
program and simply using it.  Linking a program with a library, without 
changing the library, is in some sense simply using the library, and is 
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
