PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF

SUCH DAMAGES.
END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs

If you develop a new program, and you want it to be

of the greatest possible use to the public, the best

way to achieve this is to make it free software which

everyone can redistribute and change under these

terms.
To do so, attach the following notices to the program.

It is safest to attach them to the start of each

source file to most effectively convey the exclusion

of warranty; and each file should have at least the

“copyright” line and a pointer to where the full notice

is found.

<one line to give the program’s name and a brief

idea of what it does.> Copyright (C) <year> <name

of author>

This program is free software; you can redistribute it

and/or modify it under the terms of the GNU General

Public License as published by the Free Software

Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or (at

your option) any later version.
This program is distributed in the hope that it will

be useful, but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without

even the implied warranty of MERCHANTABILITY or

FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. See the

GNU General Public License for more details.
You should have received a copy of the GNU General

Public License along with this program; if not, write

to the Free Software Foundation, Inc., 51 Franklin

Street, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA 02110-1301, USA.

Also add information on how to contact you by

electronic and paper mail.

If the program is interactive, make it output a short

notice like this when it starts in an interactive mode:

Gnomovision version 69, Copyright (C) year name of

author Gnomovision comes with ABSOLUTELY NO

WARRANTY; for details type ‘show w’.
This is free software, and you are welcome to

redistribute it under certain conditions; type ‘show c’

for details.
The hypothetical commands ‘show w’ and ‘show c’

should show the appropriate parts of the General

Public License. Of course, the commands you use

may be called something other than ‘show w’ and

‘show c’; they could even be mouse-clicks or menu

items--whatever suits your program.

You should also get your 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:
Yoyodyne, Inc., hereby disclaims all copyright

interest in the program ‘Gnomovision’ (which makes

passes at compilers) written by James Hacker.

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 Library General

Public License instead of this License.

GNU LESSER GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE

Version 2.1, February 1999

Copyright (C) 1991, 1999 Free Software Foundation,

Inc. 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

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 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.
