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.
