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.

Preamble
The licenses for most softwar,e 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.
