Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute

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 strategy to use in any particular case,

based on the explanations below.
When we speak of free software, we are refer-

ring 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 to 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 com-

plete 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.
