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 copyright the
   library, and (2) we offer you this license, which 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 of a free program by obtaining a
   restrictive license from a patent holder. Therefore, we insist that
   any patent license obtained for a version of the library must be
   consistent with the full freedom of use specified in this license.
   
   Most GNU software, including some libraries, is covered by the
   ordinary GNU General Public License. This license, the GNU Lesser
   General Public License, applies to certain designated libraries, and
   is quite different from the ordinary General Public License. We use
   this license for certain libraries in order to permit linking those
   libraries into non-free programs.
   
   When a program is linked with a library, whether statically or using a
   shared library, the combination of the two is legally speaking a
   combined work, a derivative of the original library. The ordinary
   General Public License therefore permits such linking only if the
   entire combination fits its criteria of freedom. The Lesser General
   Public License permits more lax criteria for linking other code with
   the library.
   
   We call this license the "Lesser" General Public License because it
   does Less to protect the user's freedom than the ordinary General
   Public License. It also provides other free software developers Less
   of an advantage over competing non-free programs. These disadvantages
   are the reason we use the ordinary General Public License for many
   libraries. However, the Lesser license provides advantages in certain
   special circumstances.
   
   For example, on rare occasions, there may be a special need to
   encourage the widest possible use of a certain library, so that it
   becomes a de-facto standard. To achieve this, non-free programs must
   be allowed to use the library. A more frequent case is that a free
   library does the same job as widely used non-free libraries. In this
   case, there is little to gain by limiting the free library to free
   software only, so we use the Lesser General Public License.
   
   In other cases, permission to use a particular library in non-free
   programs enables a greater number of people to use a large body of
   free software. For example, permission to use the GNU C Library in
   non-free programs enables many more people to use the whole GNU
   operating system, as well as its variant, the GNU/Linux operating
   system.
   
   Although the Lesser General Public License is Less protective of the
   users' freedom, it does ensure that the user of a program that is
   linked with the Library has the freedom and the wherewithal to run
   that program using a modified version of the Library.
   
   The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
   modification follow. Pay close attention to the difference between a
   "work based on the library" and a "work that uses the library". The
   former contains code derived from the library, whereas the latter must
   be combined with the library in order to run.
