Preamble
The licenses for most sof tware are des igned to take away your fr eedom to share and ch ange it. By contra st, the
GNU General Publ ic Licenses are inte nded to guarante e your freedom to shar e and change free sof tware--to
make sure the softw are is free for all it s users.
This license, the Lesse r General Publi c License, applies t o some specially des ignated softwa re packages--t ypically
libraries--o f the Free Softwa re Foundation and o ther authors wh o decide to use it. You can use i t too, but we
suggest you rst t hink carefully ab out whether this l icense or the ordinar y General Pub lic License is the bet ter
strategy to use in a ny particular ca se, based on the exp lanations below.
When we speak of free sof tware, we are r eferring to free dom of use, not price. O ur General Pub lic Licenses
are designed to make sur e that you have the free dom to distribu te copies of free soft ware (and charge for th is
service if you wish); that yo u receive source code or c an get it if you want it ; that you can change the s oftware
and use pieces of it in new fre e programs; and th at you are informed t hat you can do these thi ngs.
To protect your rights, we n eed to make restr ictions that forb id distributo rs to deny you these r ights or to ask
you to surrender the se rights. Thes e restrictio ns translate to cer tain respons ibilities for you if you d istribute
copies of the librar y or if you modify it.
For example, if you dis tribute copies of th e library, whet her gratis or for a fee , you must give the reci pients all
the rights that we gave you . You must make sure that th ey, too, receive or can get t he source code. If you lin k
other code with the libr ary, you must prov ide complete objec t les to the recipie nts, so that they ca n relink
them with the libra ry after maki ng changes to the libr ary and recompi ling it. And you mus t show them these
terms so they know thei r rights.
We protect your rights w ith a two-step m ethod: (1) we copyright the l ibrary, and (2) we offe r you this license,
which gives you legal per mission to copy, distr ibute and/or modif y the library.
