97cf15722ccd Added GNU Lesser General Public License, version 2.1 text. Sascha L. Teichmann <teichmann@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	20 This license, the Lesser General Public License, applies to some
97cf15722ccd Added GNU Lesser General Public License, version 2.1 text. Sascha L. Teichmann <teichmann@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	21 specially designated software packages--typically libraries--of the
97cf15722ccd Added GNU Lesser General Public License, version 2.1 text. Sascha L. Teichmann <teichmann@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	22 Free Software Foundation and other authors who decide to use it. You
97cf15722ccd Added GNU Lesser General Public License, version 2.1 text. Sascha L. Teichmann <teichmann@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	23 can use it too, but we suggest you first think carefully about whether
97cf15722ccd Added GNU Lesser General Public License, version 2.1 text. Sascha L. Teichmann <teichmann@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	24 this license or the ordinary General Public License is the better
97cf15722ccd Added GNU Lesser General Public License, version 2.1 text. Sascha L. Teichmann <teichmann@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	25 strategy to use in any particular case, based on the explanations below.
97cf15722ccd Added GNU Lesser General Public License, version 2.1 text. Sascha L. Teichmann <teichmann@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	26
97cf15722ccd Added GNU Lesser General Public License, version 2.1 text. Sascha L. Teichmann <teichmann@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	27 When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom of use,
97cf15722ccd Added GNU Lesser General Public License, version 2.1 text. Sascha L. Teichmann <teichmann@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	28 not price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that
97cf15722ccd Added GNU Lesser General Public License, version 2.1 text. Sascha L. Teichmann <teichmann@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	29 you have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge
97cf15722ccd Added GNU Lesser General Public License, version 2.1 text. Sascha L. Teichmann <teichmann@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	30 for this service if you wish); that you receive source code or can get
97cf15722ccd Added GNU Lesser General Public License, version 2.1 text. Sascha L. Teichmann <teichmann@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	31 it if you want it; that you can change the software and use pieces of
97cf15722ccd Added GNU Lesser General Public License, version 2.1 text. Sascha L. Teichmann <teichmann@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	32 it in new free programs; and that you are informed that you can do
97cf15722ccd Added GNU Lesser General Public License, version 2.1 text. Sascha L. Teichmann <teichmann@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	33 these things.
97cf15722ccd Added GNU Lesser General Public License, version 2.1 text. Sascha L. Teichmann <teichmann@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	34
97cf15722ccd Added GNU Lesser General Public License, version 2.1 text. Sascha L. Teichmann <teichmann@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	35 To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid
97cf15722ccd Added GNU Lesser General Public License, version 2.1 text. Sascha L. Teichmann <teichmann@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	36 distributors to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender these
97cf15722ccd Added GNU Lesser General Public License, version 2.1 text. Sascha L. Teichmann <teichmann@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	37 rights. These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for
97cf15722ccd Added GNU Lesser General Public License, version 2.1 text. Sascha L. Teichmann <teichmann@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	38 you if you distribute copies of the library or if you modify it.
97cf15722ccd Added GNU Lesser General Public License, version 2.1 text. Sascha L. Teichmann <teichmann@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	39
97cf15722ccd Added GNU Lesser General Public License, version 2.1 text. Sascha L. Teichmann <teichmann@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	40 For example, if you distribute copies of the library, whether gratis
97cf15722ccd Added GNU Lesser General Public License, version 2.1 text. Sascha L. Teichmann <teichmann@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	41 or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that we gave
97cf15722ccd Added GNU Lesser General Public License, version 2.1 text. Sascha L. Teichmann <teichmann@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	42 you. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the source
97cf15722ccd Added GNU Lesser General Public License, version 2.1 text. Sascha L. Teichmann <teichmann@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	43 code. If you link other code with the library, you must provide
97cf15722ccd Added GNU Lesser General Public License, version 2.1 text. Sascha L. Teichmann <teichmann@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	44 complete object files to the recipients, so that they can relink them
97cf15722ccd Added GNU Lesser General Public License, version 2.1 text. Sascha L. Teichmann <teichmann@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	45 with the library after making changes to the library and recompiling
97cf15722ccd Added GNU Lesser General Public License, version 2.1 text. Sascha L. Teichmann <teichmann@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	46 it. And you must show them these terms so they know their rights.
97cf15722ccd Added GNU Lesser General Public License, version 2.1 text. Sascha L. Teichmann <teichmann@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	47
97cf15722ccd Added GNU Lesser General Public License, version 2.1 text. Sascha L. Teichmann <teichmann@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	48 We protect your rights with a two-step method: (1) we copyright the
97cf15722ccd Added GNU Lesser General Public License, version 2.1 text. Sascha L. Teichmann <teichmann@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	49 library, and (2) we offer you this license, which gives you legal
97cf15722ccd Added GNU Lesser General Public License, version 2.1 text. Sascha L. Teichmann <teichmann@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	50 permission to copy, distribute and/or modify the library.
97cf15722ccd Added GNU Lesser General Public License, version 2.1 text. Sascha L. Teichmann <teichmann@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	51
97cf15722ccd Added GNU Lesser General Public License, version 2.1 text. Sascha L. Teichmann <teichmann@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	52 To protect each distributor, we want to make it very clear that
97cf15722ccd Added GNU Lesser General Public License, version 2.1 text. Sascha L. Teichmann <teichmann@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	53 there is no warranty for the free library. Also, if the library is
97cf15722ccd Added GNU Lesser General Public License, version 2.1 text. Sascha L. Teichmann <teichmann@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	54 modified by someone else and passed on, the recipients should know
97cf15722ccd Added GNU Lesser General Public License, version 2.1 text. Sascha L. Teichmann <teichmann@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	55 that what they have is not the original version, so that the original
97cf15722ccd Added GNU Lesser General Public License, version 2.1 text. Sascha L. Teichmann <teichmann@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	56 author's reputation will not be affected by problems that might be
97cf15722ccd Added GNU Lesser General Public License, version 2.1 text. Sascha L. Teichmann <teichmann@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	57 introduced by others.
97cf15722ccd Added GNU Lesser General Public License, version 2.1 text. Sascha L. Teichmann <teichmann@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	58
97cf15722ccd Added GNU Lesser General Public License, version 2.1 text. Sascha L. Teichmann <teichmann@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	59 Finally, software patents pose a constant threat to the existence of
97cf15722ccd Added GNU Lesser General Public License, version 2.1 text. Sascha L. Teichmann <teichmann@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	60 any free program. We wish to make sure that a company cannot
97cf15722ccd Added GNU Lesser General Public License, version 2.1 text. Sascha L. Teichmann <teichmann@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	61 effectively restrict the users of a free program by obtaining a
97cf15722ccd Added GNU Lesser General Public License, version 2.1 text. Sascha L. Teichmann <teichmann@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	62 restrictive license from a patent holder. Therefore, we insist that
97cf15722ccd Added GNU Lesser General Public License, version 2.1 text. Sascha L. Teichmann <teichmann@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	63 any patent license obtained for a version of the library must be
97cf15722ccd Added GNU Lesser General Public License, version 2.1 text. Sascha L. Teichmann <teichmann@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	64 consistent with the full freedom of use specified in this license.
97cf15722ccd Added GNU Lesser General Public License, version 2.1 text. Sascha L. Teichmann <teichmann@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	65
97cf15722ccd Added GNU Lesser General Public License, version 2.1 text. Sascha L. Teichmann <teichmann@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	66 Most GNU software, including some libraries, is covered by the
97cf15722ccd Added GNU Lesser General Public License, version 2.1 text. Sascha L. Teichmann <teichmann@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	67 ordinary GNU General Public License. This license, the GNU Lesser
97cf15722ccd Added GNU Lesser General Public License, version 2.1 text. Sascha L. Teichmann <teichmann@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	68 General Public License, applies to certain designated libraries, and
97cf15722ccd Added GNU Lesser General Public License, version 2.1 text. Sascha L. Teichmann <teichmann@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	69 is quite different from the ordinary General Public License. We use
97cf15722ccd Added GNU Lesser General Public License, version 2.1 text. Sascha L. Teichmann <teichmann@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	70 this license for certain libraries in order to permit linking those
97cf15722ccd Added GNU Lesser General Public License, version 2.1 text. Sascha L. Teichmann <teichmann@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	71 libraries into non-free programs.
97cf15722ccd Added GNU Lesser General Public License, version 2.1 text. Sascha L. Teichmann <teichmann@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	72
97cf15722ccd Added GNU Lesser General Public License, version 2.1 text. Sascha L. Teichmann <teichmann@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	73 When a program is linked with a library, whether statically or using
97cf15722ccd Added GNU Lesser General Public License, version 2.1 text. Sascha L. Teichmann <teichmann@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	74 a shared library, the combination of the two is legally speaking a
97cf15722ccd Added GNU Lesser General Public License, version 2.1 text. Sascha L. Teichmann <teichmann@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	75 combined work, a derivative of the original library. The ordinary
97cf15722ccd Added GNU Lesser General Public License, version 2.1 text. Sascha L. Teichmann <teichmann@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	76 General Public License therefore permits such linking only if the
97cf15722ccd Added GNU Lesser General Public License, version 2.1 text. Sascha L. Teichmann <teichmann@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	77 entire combination fits its criteria of freedom. The Lesser General
97cf15722ccd Added GNU Lesser General Public License, version 2.1 text. Sascha L. Teichmann <teichmann@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	78 Public License permits more lax criteria for linking other code with
97cf15722ccd Added GNU Lesser General Public License, version 2.1 text. Sascha L. Teichmann <teichmann@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	79 the library.
97cf15722ccd Added GNU Lesser General Public License, version 2.1 text. Sascha L. Teichmann <teichmann@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	80
97cf15722ccd Added GNU Lesser General Public License, version 2.1 text. Sascha L. Teichmann <teichmann@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	81 We call this license the "Lesser" General Public License because it
97cf15722ccd Added GNU Lesser General Public License, version 2.1 text. Sascha L. Teichmann <teichmann@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	82 does Less to protect the user's freedom than the ordinary General
97cf15722ccd Added GNU Lesser General Public License, version 2.1 text. Sascha L. Teichmann <teichmann@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	83 Public License. It also provides other free software developers Less
97cf15722ccd Added GNU Lesser General Public License, version 2.1 text. Sascha L. Teichmann <teichmann@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	84 of an advantage over competing non-free programs. These disadvantages
97cf15722ccd Added GNU Lesser General Public License, version 2.1 text. Sascha L. Teichmann <teichmann@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	85 are the reason we use the ordinary General Public License for many
97cf15722ccd Added GNU Lesser General Public License, version 2.1 text. Sascha L. Teichmann <teichmann@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	86 libraries. However, the Lesser license provides advantages in certain
97cf15722ccd Added GNU Lesser General Public License, version 2.1 text. Sascha L. Teichmann <teichmann@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	87 special circumstances.
97cf15722ccd Added GNU Lesser General Public License, version 2.1 text. Sascha L. Teichmann <teichmann@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	88
97cf15722ccd Added GNU Lesser General Public License, version 2.1 text. Sascha L. Teichmann <teichmann@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	89 For example, on rare occasions, there may be a special need to
97cf15722ccd Added GNU Lesser General Public License, version 2.1 text. Sascha L. Teichmann <teichmann@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	90 encourage the widest possible use of a certain library, so that it becomes
97cf15722ccd Added GNU Lesser General Public License, version 2.1 text. Sascha L. Teichmann <teichmann@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	91 a de-facto standard. To achieve this, non-free programs must be
97cf15722ccd Added GNU Lesser General Public License, version 2.1 text. Sascha L. Teichmann <teichmann@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	92 allowed to use the library. A more frequent case is that a free
97cf15722ccd Added GNU Lesser General Public License, version 2.1 text. Sascha L. Teichmann <teichmann@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	93 library does the same job as widely used non-free libraries. In this
97cf15722ccd Added GNU Lesser General Public License, version 2.1 text. Sascha L. Teichmann <teichmann@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	94 case, there is little to gain by limiting the free library to free
97cf15722ccd Added GNU Lesser General Public License, version 2.1 text. Sascha L. Teichmann <teichmann@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	95 software only, so we use the Lesser General Public License.
97cf15722ccd Added GNU Lesser General Public License, version 2.1 text. Sascha L. Teichmann <teichmann@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	96
97cf15722ccd Added GNU Lesser General Public License, version 2.1 text. Sascha L. Teichmann <teichmann@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	97 In other cases, permission to use a particular library in non-free
97cf15722ccd Added GNU Lesser General Public License, version 2.1 text. Sascha L. Teichmann <teichmann@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	98 programs enables a greater number of people to use a large body of
97cf15722ccd Added GNU Lesser General Public License, version 2.1 text. Sascha L. Teichmann <teichmann@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	99 free software. For example, permission to use the GNU C Library in
97cf15722ccd Added GNU Lesser General Public License, version 2.1 text. Sascha L. Teichmann <teichmann@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	100 non-free programs enables many more people to use the whole GNU
97cf15722ccd Added GNU Lesser General Public License, version 2.1 text. Sascha L. Teichmann <teichmann@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	101 operating system, as well as its variant, the GNU/Linux operating
97cf15722ccd Added GNU Lesser General Public License, version 2.1 text. Sascha L. Teichmann <teichmann@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	102 system.
97cf15722ccd Added GNU Lesser General Public License, version 2.1 text. Sascha L. Teichmann <teichmann@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	103
97cf15722ccd Added GNU Lesser General Public License, version 2.1 text. Sascha L. Teichmann <teichmann@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	104 Although the Lesser General Public License is Less protective of the
97cf15722ccd Added GNU Lesser General Public License, version 2.1 text. Sascha L. Teichmann <teichmann@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	105 users' freedom, it does ensure that the user of a program that is
97cf15722ccd Added GNU Lesser General Public License, version 2.1 text. Sascha L. Teichmann <teichmann@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	106 linked with the Library has the freedom and the wherewithal to run
97cf15722ccd Added GNU Lesser General Public License, version 2.1 text. Sascha L. Teichmann <teichmann@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	107 that program using a modified version of the Library.

97cf15722ccd Added GNU Lesser General Public License, version 2.1 text. Sascha L. Teichmann <teichmann@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	109 The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
97cf15722ccd Added GNU Lesser General Public License, version 2.1 text. Sascha L. Teichmann <teichmann@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	110 modification follow. Pay close attention to the difference between a
97cf15722ccd Added GNU Lesser General Public License, version 2.1 text. Sascha L. Teichmann <teichmann@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	111 "work based on the library" and a "work that uses the library". The
97cf15722ccd Added GNU Lesser General Public License, version 2.1 text. Sascha L. Teichmann <teichmann@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	112 former contains code derived from the library, whereas the latter must

97cf15722ccd Added GNU Lesser General Public License, version 2.1 text. Sascha L. Teichmann <teichmann@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	247 creates an executable that is a derivative of the Library (because it
