Free Software Foundation and other authors who decide to use it. You

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, 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

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.
|
||||
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.
|
||||
|
||||
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
|
||||
code. If you link other code 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
|
||||
We protect your rights with a two-step method: (1) we copyright the
|
||||
library, and (2) we 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.
|
||||
To protect each distributor, we want to make it very clear that
|
||||
there is no warranty for the free library. Also, if the library is
|
||||
modified by someone else and passed on, the recipients should know
|
||||
that what they have is not the original version, so that the original
|
||||
author's reputation will not be affected by problems that might be
|
||||
introduced by others.
|
||||
|
||||
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.
|
||||
Finally, software patents pose a constant threat to the existence of
|
||||
any free program. We wish to make sure that a company cannot
|
||||
effectively restrict the users of a free program by obtaining a
|
||||
restrictive license from a patent holder. Therefore, we insist that
|
||||
any patent license obtained for a version of the library must be
|
||||
consistent with the full freedom of use specified in this license.
|
||||
|
||||
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.
|
||||
Most GNU software, including some libraries, is covered by the
|
||||
ordinary GNU General Public License. This license, the GNU Lesser
|
||||
General Public License, applies to certain designated libraries, and
|
||||
is quite different from the ordinary General Public License. We use
|
||||
this license for certain libraries in order to permit linking those
|
||||
libraries into non-free programs.
|
||||
|
||||
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.
|
||||
When a program is linked with a library, whether statically or using
|
||||
a shared library, the combination of the two is legally speaking a
|
||||
combined work, a derivative of the original library. The ordinary
|
||||
General Public License therefore permits such linking only if the
|
||||
entire combination fits its criteria of freedom. The Lesser General
|
||||
Public License permits more lax criteria for linking other code with
|
||||
the library.
|
||||
|
||||
Because of this blurred distinction, using the ordinary General
|
||||
Public License for libraries did not effectively promote software
|
||||
sharing, because most developers did not use the libraries. We
|
||||
concluded that weaker conditions might promote sharing better.
|
||||
We call this license the "Lesser" General Public License because it
|
||||
does Less to protect the user's freedom than the ordinary General
|
||||
Public License. It also provides other free software developers Less
|
||||
of an advantage over competing non-free programs. These disadvantages
|
||||
are the reason we use the ordinary General Public License for many
|
||||
libraries. However, the Lesser license provides advantages in certain
|
||||
special circumstances.
|
||||
|
||||
However, unrestricted linking of non-free programs would deprive the
|
||||
users of those programs of all benefit from the free status of the
|
||||
libraries themselves. This Library General Public License is intended to
|
||||
permit developers of non-free programs to use free libraries, while
|
||||
preserving your freedom as a user of such programs to change the free
|
||||
libraries that are incorporated in them. (We have not seen how to achieve
|
||||
this as regards changes in header files, but we have achieved it as regards
|
||||
changes in the actual functions of the Library.) The hope is that this
|
||||
will lead to faster development of free libraries.
|
||||
For example, on rare occasions, there may be a special need to
|
||||
encourage the widest possible use of a certain library, so that it becomes
|
||||
a de-facto standard. To achieve this, non-free programs must be
|
||||
allowed to use the library. A more frequent case is that a free
|
||||
library does the same job as widely used non-free libraries. In this
|
||||
case, there is little to gain by limiting the free library to free
|
||||
software only, so we use the Lesser General Public License.
|
||||
|
||||
In other cases, permission to use a particular library in non-free
|
||||
programs enables a greater number of people to use a large body of
|
||||
free software. For example, permission to use the GNU C Library in
|
||||
non-free programs enables many more people to use the whole GNU
|
||||
operating system, as well as its variant, the GNU/Linux operating
|
||||
system.
|
||||
|
||||
Although the Lesser General Public License is Less protective of the
|
||||
users' freedom, it does ensure that the user of a program that is
|
||||
linked with the Library has the freedom and the wherewithal to run
|
||||
that program using a modified version of the Library.
|
||||
|
||||
The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
|
||||
modification follow. Pay close attention to the difference between a
|
||||
"work based on the library" and a "work that uses the library". The
|
||||
former contains code derived from the library, while the latter only
|
||||
works together with the library.
|
||||
|
||||
Note that it is possible for a library to be covered by the ordinary
|
||||
General Public License rather than by this special one.
|
||||
former contains code derived from the library, whereas the latter must
|
||||
be combined with the library in order to run.
