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.

what it does.>

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)

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.

LGPLv2.1

GNU LESSER GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE

Version 2.1, February 1999

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.

We protect your rights with a two-step method: (1) we

gives you legal permission to copy, distribute and/or modify the

library.

To protect each distributor, we want to make it very

clear that there is no warranty for the free library. Also,

if the library is modified by someone else and passed on,

the recipients should know that what they have is not the

original version, so that the original author's reputation

will not be affected by problems that might be introduced

by others. Finally, software patents pose a constant threat

to the existence of any free program. We wish to make

sure that a company cannot effectively restrict the users
