LGPL SOFTWARE LICENSE

GNU LESSER GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE

Version 2.1, February 1999

51 Franklin Street, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA 02110-1301, USA

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—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.

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 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.

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.

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, 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. 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.

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.

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.

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

18-3

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, whereas the latter

must be combined with the library in order to run.

TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND

MODIFICATION

0. This License Agreement applies to any software library or other program which

contains a notice placed by the copyright holder or other authorized party saying it

may be distributed under the terms of this Lesser General Public License (also called

“this License”). Each licensee is addressed as “you”.

A “library” means a collection of software functions and/ or data prepared so as to be

conveniently linked with application programs (which use some of those functions and

data) to form executables.

The “Library”, below, refers to any such software library or work which has been

distributed under these terms. A “work based on the Library” means either the

Library or any derivative work under copyright law: that is to say, a work containing

the Library or a portion of it, either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated

straightforwardly into another language. (Hereinafter, translation is included without

limitation in the term “modification”.)

“Source code” for a work means the preferred form of the work for making

modifications to it. For a library, complete source code means all the source code for

all modules it contains, plus any associated interface definition files, plus the scripts

used to control compilation and installation of the library.

Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not covered by this

License; they are outside its scope. The act of running a program using the Library is

not restricted, and output from such a program is covered only if its contents constitute

a work based on the Library (independent of the use of the Library in a tool for writing

it). Whether that is true depends on what the Library does and what the program that
