This General Public License does not permit incorporating your program into

proprietary programs.  If your program is a subroutine library, you may

consider it more useful to permit linking proprietary applications with the

library.  If this is what you want to do, use the GNU Lesser General

Public License instead of this License.

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.
