This General Public License does not permit incor-
porating your program into proprietary programs. 
If your program is a subroutine library, you may 
consider it more useful to permit linking proprie-
tary applications with the library. If this is what 
you want to do, use the GNU Lesser General Public 
License instead of this License.

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 
packages – typically libraries – of the Free Soft-
ware 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 strat-
egy 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 restric-
tions that forbid distributors to deny you these 
rights or to ask you to surrender these rights. 
These restrictions translate into certain responsi-
bilities 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 Pub-
lic 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 combina-
tion of the two is legally speaking a combined 
work, a derivative of the original library. The ordi-
nary 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.
