Preamble
The licenses for mos t software are designed to take away your fr eedom to share and change it. By contrast , the
GNU Genera l Public L icenses are intended to guarante e your fre edom to sh are and c hange free software --to
make sure the softw are is free for all it s users.
This license, the L esser Genera l Public License , applies to some specially desig nated softwa re packages--t ypically
libraries--o f the Free Software Foundation a nd other au thors who decide to u se it. You c an use it too, but we
suggest you rst think carefully about whet her this li cense or the ordinary General Public Licens e is the better
strategy to use in a ny particular ca se, based on the exp lanations below.
When we spe ak of fr ee softwa re, we a re referr ing to fr eedom of use, not price. Our General Public L icenses
are designed t o make sure t hat you have t he freedom to distribu te copies of f ree softwa re (and charge for this
service if you wish); that yo u receive sou rce code or c an get it i f you want i t; that you can change t he softwar e
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 r ights, we ne ed to make r estriction s that forbi d distribu tors to deny you these r ights or to ask
you to su rrender these r ights. These r estricti ons tra nslate to certa in respo nsibilities for yo u if yo u distr ibute
copies of the librar y or if you modify it.
For example, if you dist ribute copies of the lib rary, whether gr atis or for a fee, you mus t give the recipient s all the
rights that we gav e you. You must make s ure that they, too , receive or can get the source co de. If you link o ther
code with the libra ry, you must provi de complete objec t les to the recip ients, so that t hey can relink th em with
the library af ter making ch anges to the libr ary and reco mpiling it. An d you must show t hem these term s so they
know their rights .
We protect your rights wit h a two-s tep method: (1) we copyright the librar y, and (2) we offer you thi s license,
which gives you legal per mission to copy, distr ibute and/or modif y the library.
