Preamble

Preamble

34
The licenses for most software are designed to take away your
33
35
freedom to share and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public
34
36
Licenses are intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change
35
37
free software--to make sure the software is free for all its users.
36
38
37
This license, the Library General Public License, applies to some
38
specially designated Free Software Foundation software, and to any
39
other libraries whose authors decide to use it. You can use it for
40
your libraries, too.
39
This license, the Lesser General Public License, applies to some
40
specially designated software packages--typically libraries--of the
41
Free Software Foundation and other authors who decide to use it. You
42
can use it too, but we suggest you first think carefully about whether
43
this license or the ordinary General Public License is the better
44
strategy to use in any particular case, based on the explanations
45
below.
41
46
42
When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not
43
price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you
44
have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for
45
this service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it
46
if you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it
47
in new free programs; and that you know you can do these things.

52
it in new free programs; and that you are informed that you can do
53
these things.
48
54
49
55
To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid
50
anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights.
51
These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if
52
you distribute copies of the library, or if you modify it.
56
distributors to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender these
57
rights. These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for
58
you if you distribute copies of the library or if you modify it.
53
59
54
60
For example, if you distribute copies of the library, whether gratis
55
61
or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that we gave
56
62
you. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the source
57
code. If you link a program with the library, you must provide
58
complete object files to the recipients so that they can relink them
59
with the library, after making changes to the library and recompiling
63
code. If you link other code with the library, you must provide
64
complete object files to the recipients, so that they can relink them
65
with the library after making changes to the library and recompiling
60
66
it. And you must show them these terms so they know their rights.
61
67
62
Our method of protecting your rights has two steps: (1) copyright
63
the library, and (2) offer you this license which gives you legal
68
We protect your rights with a two-step method: (1) we copyright the
69
library, and (2) we offer you this license, which gives you legal
64
70
permission to copy, distribute and/or modify the library.
65
71
66
Also, for each distributor's protection, we want to make certain
67
that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free
68
library. If the library is modified by someone else and passed on, we
69
want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original
70
version, so that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on
71
the original authors' reputations.
72
To protect each distributor, we want to make it very clear that
73
there is no warranty for the free library. Also, if the library is
74
modified by someone else and passed on, the recipients should know
75
that what they have is not the original version, so that the original
76
author's reputation will not be affected by problems that might be
77
introduced by others.
72
78
73
Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software
74
patents. We wish to avoid the danger that companies distributing free
75
software will individually obtain patent licenses, thus in effect
76
transforming the program into proprietary software. To prevent this,
77
we have made it clear that any patent must be licensed for everyone's
78
free use or not licensed at all.
79
80
Most GNU software, including some libraries, is covered by the ordinary
81
GNU General Public License, which was designed for utility programs. This
82
license, the GNU Library General Public License, applies to certain
83
designated libraries. This license is quite different from the ordinary
84
one; be sure to read it in full, and don't assume that anything in it is
85
the same as in the ordinary license.
86
87
The reason we have a separate public license for some libraries is that
88
they blur the distinction we usually make between modifying or adding to a
89
program and simply using it. Linking a program with a library, without
90
changing the library, is in some sense simply using the library, and is
91
analogous to running a utility program or application program. However, in
92
a textual and legal sense, the linked executable is a combined work, a
93
derivative of the original library, and the ordinary General Public License
94
treats it as such.
95
96
Because of this blurred distinction, using the ordinary General
97
Public License for libraries did not effectively promote software
98
sharing, because most developers did not use the libraries. We
99
concluded that weaker conditions might promote sharing better.
100
101
However, unrestricted linking of non-free programs would deprive the
102
users of those programs of all benefit from the free status of the
103
libraries themselves. This Library General Public License is intended to
104
permit developers of non-free programs to use free libraries, while
105
preserving your freedom as a user of such programs to change the free
106
libraries that are incorporated in them. (We have not seen how to achieve
107
this as regards changes in header files, but we have achieved it as regards
108
changes in the actual functions of the Library.) The hope is that this
109
will lead to faster development of free libraries.
79
Finally, software patents pose a constant threat to the existence of
80
any free program. We wish to make sure that a company cannot
81
effectively restrict the users of a free program by obtaining a
82
restrictive license from a patent holder. Therefore, we insist that
83
any patent license obtained for a version of the library must be
84
consistent with the full freedom of use specified in this license.
85
86
Most GNU software, including some libraries, is covered by the
87
ordinary GNU General Public License. This license, the GNU Lesser
88
General Public License, applies to certain designated libraries, and
89
is quite different from the ordinary General Public License. We use
90
this license for certain libraries in order to permit linking those
91
libraries into non-free programs.
92
93
When a program is linked with a library, whether statically or using
94
a shared library, the combination of the two is legally speaking a
95
combined work, a derivative of the original library. The ordinary
96
General Public License therefore permits such linking only if the
97
entire combination fits its criteria of freedom. The Lesser General
98
Public License permits more lax criteria for linking other code with
99
the library.
100
101
We call this license the "Lesser" General Public License because it
102
does Less to protect the user's freedom than the ordinary General
103
Public License. It also provides other free software developers Less
104
of an advantage over competing non-free programs. These disadvantages
105
are the reason we use the ordinary General Public License for many
106
libraries. However, the Lesser license provides advantages in certain
107
special circumstances.
108
109
For example, on rare occasions, there may be a special need to
110
encourage the widest possible use of a certain library, so that it
111
becomes a de-facto standard. To achieve this, non-free programs must
112
be allowed to use the library. A more frequent case is that a free
113
library does the same job as widely used non-free libraries. In this
114
case, there is little to gain by limiting the free library to free
115
software only, so we use the Lesser General Public License.
116
117
In other cases, permission to use a particular library in non-free
118
programs enables a greater number of people to use a large body of
119
free software. For example, permission to use the GNU C Library in
120
non-free programs enables many more people to use the whole GNU
121
operating system, as well as its variant, the GNU/Linux operating
122
system.
123
124
Although the Lesser General Public License is Less protective of the
125
users' freedom, it does ensure that the user of a program that is
126
linked with the Library has the freedom and the wherewithal to run
127
that program using a modified version of the Library.
110
128
111
129
The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
112
130
modification follow. Pay close attention to the difference between a
113
131
"work based on the library" and a "work that uses the library". The
114
former contains code derived from the library, while the latter only
115
works together with the library.
116
117
Note that it is possible for a library to be covered by the ordinary
118
General Public License rather than by this special one.
132
former contains code derived from the library, whereas the latter must
133
be combined with the library in order to run.

How to Apply These Terms to Your New Libraries
458

483
If you develop a new library, and you want it to be of the greatest
460
484
possible use to the public, we recommend making it free software that
461
485
everyone can redistribute and change. You can do so by permitting
462
redistribution under these terms (or, alternatively, under the terms of the
463
ordinary General Public License).
464
465
To apply these terms, attach the following notices to the library. It is
466
safest to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively
467
convey the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least the
468
"copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.
