employer (if you work as a programmer) or your school, if any, to
sign a “copyright disclaimer” for the program, if necessary. Here
is a sample; alter the names:

This General Public License does not permit incorporating your
program into proprietary programs. If your program is a
subroutine library, you may consider it more useful to permit
linking proprietary 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 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
