-When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not

|
|
Scott Talbert |
0aea9e |
-that you have the freedom to distribute copies of free software

|
Scott Talbert |
0aea9e |
-(and charge for this service if you wish), that you receive

|
Scott Talbert |
0aea9e |
-source code or can get it if you want it, that you can change

Scott Talbert |
0aea9e |
-the software or use pieces of it in new free programs; and that
|
|
Scott Talbert |
0aea9e |
-you know you can do these things.
|
|
Scott Talbert |
0aea9e |
-
|
|
Scott Talbert |
0aea9e |
-To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid
|
|
Scott Talbert |
0aea9e |
-anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the
|
|
Scott Talbert |
0aea9e |
-rights. These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities
|
|
Scott Talbert |
0aea9e |
-for you if you distribute copies of the library, or if you

0aea9e |
-modify it.
|

Scott Talbert |

-
|
|
Scott Talbert |

-For example, if you distribute copies of the library, whether
|
|
Scott Talbert |
0aea9e |
-gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights
|
|
Scott Talbert |
0aea9e |
-that we gave you. You must make sure that they, too, receive or
|
|
Scott Talbert |
0aea9e |
-can get the source code. If you link a program with the
|
|
Scott Talbert |
0aea9e |
-library, you must provide complete object files to the
|
|
Scott Talbert |
0aea9e |
-recipients so that they can relink them with the library, after
|
|
Scott Talbert |
0aea9e |
-making changes to the library and recompiling it. And you must
|
|
Scott Talbert |
0aea9e |
-show them these terms so they know their rights.
|
|
Scott Talbert |
0aea9e |
-
|
|
Scott Talbert |
0aea9e |
-Our method of protecting your rights has two steps: (1)
|
|
Scott Talbert |
0aea9e |
-copyright the library, and (2) offer you this license which
|
|
Scott Talbert |
0aea9e |
-gives you legal permission to copy, distribute and/or modify the
|
|
Scott Talbert |
0aea9e |
-library.
|
|
Scott Talbert |
0aea9e |
-
|
|
Scott Talbert |
0aea9e |
-Also, for each distributor's protection, we want to make certain
|
|
Scott Talbert |
0aea9e |
-that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this
|
|
Scott Talbert |
0aea9e |
-free library. If the library is modified by someone else and
|
|
Scott Talbert |
0aea9e |
-passed on, we want its recipients to know that what they have is
|
|
Scott Talbert |
0aea9e |
-not the original version, so that any problems introduced by
|
|
Scott Talbert |
0aea9e |
-others will not reflect on the original authors' reputations.
|
|
Scott Talbert |
0aea9e |
-
|
|
Scott Talbert |

-Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software
|
|
Scott Talbert |
0aea9e |
-patents. We wish to avoid the danger that companies
|
|
Scott Talbert |
0aea9e |
-distributing free software will individually obtain patent
|
|
Scott Talbert |
0aea9e |
-licenses, thus in effect transforming the program into
|
|
Scott Talbert |
0aea9e |
-proprietary software. To prevent this, we have made it clear
|
|
Scott Talbert |
0aea9e |
-that any patent must be licensed for everyone's free use or not
|
|
Scott Talbert |
0aea9e |

-Most GNU software, including some libraries, is covered by the
|
|
Scott Talbert |
0aea9e |
-ordinary GNU General Public License, which was designed for
|
|
Scott Talbert |
0aea9e |
-utility programs. This license, the GNU Library General Public
|
|
Scott Talbert |
0aea9e |
-License, applies to certain designated libraries. This license
|
|
Scott Talbert |
0aea9e |
-is quite different from the ordinary one; be sure to read it in
|
|
Scott Talbert |
0aea9e |
-full, and don't assume that anything in it is the same as in the
|
|
Scott Talbert |
0aea9e |
-ordinary license.
|
|
Scott Talbert |
0aea9e |
-
|
|
Scott Talbert |
0aea9e |
-The reason we have a separate public license for some libraries
|
|
Scott Talbert |
0aea9e |
-is that they blur the distinction we usually make between
|
|
Scott Talbert |
0aea9e |
-modifying or adding to a program and simply using it. Linking a
|
|
Scott Talbert |
0aea9e |
-program with a library, without changing the library, is in some
|
|
Scott Talbert |
0aea9e |
-sense simply using the library, and is analogous to running a
|
|
Scott Talbert |
0aea9e |
-utility program or application program. However, in a textual
|
|
Scott Talbert |
0aea9e |
-and legal sense, the linked executable is a combined work, a
|
|
Scott Talbert |
0aea9e |
-derivative of the original library, and the ordinary General
|
|
Scott Talbert |
0aea9e |
-Public License treats it as such.
|
|
Scott Talbert |
0aea9e |
-
|
|
Scott Talbert |
0aea9e |
-Because of this blurred distinction, using the ordinary General
|
|
Scott Talbert |
0aea9e |
-Public License for libraries did not effectively promote
|
|
Scott Talbert |
0aea9e |
-software sharing, because most developers did not use the
|
|
Scott Talbert |
0aea9e |
-libraries. We concluded that weaker conditions might promote
|
|
Scott Talbert |
0aea9e |
-sharing better.
|
|
Scott Talbert |
0aea9e |
-
|
|
Scott Talbert |
0aea9e |
-However, unrestricted linking of non-free programs would deprive
|
|
Scott Talbert |
0aea9e |
-the users of those programs of all benefit from the free status
|
|
Scott Talbert |
0aea9e |
-of the libraries themselves. This Library General Public
|
|
Scott Talbert |
0aea9e |
-License is intended to permit developers of non-free programs to
|
|
Scott Talbert |
0aea9e |
-use free libraries, while preserving your freedom as a user of
|
|
Scott Talbert |
0aea9e |
-such programs to change the free libraries that are incorporated
|
|
Scott Talbert |
0aea9e |
-in them. (We have not seen how to achieve this as regards
|
|
Scott Talbert |
0aea9e |
-changes in header files, but we have achieved it as regards
|
|
Scott Talbert |
0aea9e |
-changes in the actual functions of the Library.) The hope is
|
|
Scott Talbert |
0aea9e |
-that this will lead to faster development of free libraries.
|
|
Scott Talbert |

-
|
|
Scott Talbert |
0aea9e |
-The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
|
|
Scott Talbert |
0aea9e |
-modification follow. Pay close attention to the difference
|
|
Scott Talbert |
0aea9e |
-between a "work based on the library" and a "work that uses the
|
|
Scott Talbert |
0aea9e |

+ Preamble
|
|
Scott Talbert |
0aea9e |
+
|
|
Scott Talbert |
0aea9e |
+ The licenses for most software are designed to take away your
|
|
Scott Talbert |
0aea9e |
+freedom to share and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public
|
|
Scott Talbert |
0aea9e |
+Licenses are intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change
|
|
Scott Talbert |
0aea9e |
+free software--to make sure the software is free for all its users.
|
|
Scott Talbert |
0aea9e |
+
|
|
Scott Talbert |
0aea9e |
+ This license, the Library General Public License, applies to some
|
|
Scott Talbert |
0aea9e |
+specially designated Free Software Foundation software, and to any
|
|
Scott Talbert |
0aea9e |
+other libraries whose authors decide to use it. You can use it for
|
|
Scott Talbert |
0aea9e |
+your libraries, too.
|
|
Scott Talbert |
0aea9e |
+
|
|
Scott Talbert |
0aea9e |
+ When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not
|
|
Scott Talbert |
0aea9e |
+price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you
|
|
Scott Talbert |
0aea9e |
+have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for
|
|
Scott Talbert |
0aea9e |
+this service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it
|
|
Scott Talbert |
0aea9e |
+if you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it
|
|
Scott Talbert |
0aea9e |
+in new free programs; and that you know you can do these things.
|
|
Scott Talbert |
0aea9e |
+
|
|
Scott Talbert |
0aea9e |
+ To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid
|
|
Scott Talbert |
0aea9e |
+anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights.
|
|
Scott Talbert |
0aea9e |
+These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if
|
|
Scott Talbert |
0aea9e |
+you distribute copies of the library, or if you modify it.
|
|
Scott Talbert |
0aea9e |
+
|
|
Scott Talbert |
0aea9e |
+ For example, if you distribute copies of the library, whether gratis
|
|
Scott Talbert |
0aea9e |
+or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that we gave
|
|
Scott Talbert |
0aea9e |
+you. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the source
|
|
Scott Talbert |
0aea9e |
+code. If you link a program with the library, you must provide
|
|
Scott Talbert |
0aea9e |
+complete object files to the recipients so that they can relink them
|
|
Scott Talbert |
0aea9e |
+with the library, after making changes to the library and recompiling
|
|
Scott Talbert |
0aea9e |
+it. And you must show them these terms so they know their rights.
|
|
Scott Talbert |
0aea9e |
+
|
|
Scott Talbert |
0aea9e |
+ Our method of protecting your rights has two steps: (1) copyright
|
|
Scott Talbert |
0aea9e |
+the library, and (2) offer you this license which gives you legal
|
|
Scott Talbert |
0aea9e |
+permission to copy, distribute and/or modify the library.
|
|
Scott Talbert |
0aea9e |
+
|
|
Scott Talbert |
0aea9e |
+ Also, for each distributor's protection, we want to make certain
|
|
Scott Talbert |
0aea9e |
+that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free
|
|
Scott Talbert |
0aea9e |
+library. If the library is modified by someone else and passed on, we
|
|
Scott Talbert |
0aea9e |
+want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original
|
|
Scott Talbert |
0aea9e |
+version, so that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on
|
|
Scott Talbert |
0aea9e |
+the original authors' reputations.
|
|
Scott Talbert |
0aea9e |
+
|
|
Scott Talbert |
0aea9e |
+ Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software
|
|
Scott Talbert |
0aea9e |
+patents. We wish to avoid the danger that companies distributing free
|
|
Scott Talbert |
0aea9e |
+software will individually obtain patent licenses, thus in effect
|
|
Scott Talbert |
0aea9e |
+transforming the program into proprietary software. To prevent this,
|
|
Scott Talbert |
0aea9e |
+we have made it clear that any patent must be licensed for everyone's
|
|
Scott Talbert |
0aea9e |
+free use or not licensed at all.
|
|
Scott Talbert |
0aea9e |
+
|
|
Scott Talbert |
0aea9e |
+ Most GNU software, including some libraries, is covered by the ordinary
|
|
Scott Talbert |
0aea9e |
+GNU General Public License, which was designed for utility programs. This
|
|
Scott Talbert |
0aea9e |
+license, the GNU Library General Public License, applies to certain
|
|
Scott Talbert |
0aea9e |
+designated libraries. This license is quite different from the ordinary
|
|
Scott Talbert |
0aea9e |
+one; be sure to read it in full, and don't assume that anything in it is
|
|
Scott Talbert |
0aea9e |
+the same as in the ordinary license.
|
|
Scott Talbert |
0aea9e |
+
|
|
Scott Talbert |
0aea9e |
+ The reason we have a separate public license for some libraries is that
|
|
Scott Talbert |
0aea9e |
+they blur the distinction we usually make between modifying or adding to a
|
|
Scott Talbert |
0aea9e |
+program and simply using it. Linking a program with a library, without
|
|
Scott Talbert |
0aea9e |
+changing the library, is in some sense simply using the library, and is
|
|
Scott Talbert |
0aea9e |
+analogous to running a utility program or application program. However, in
|
|
Scott Talbert |
0aea9e |
+a textual and legal sense, the linked executable is a combined work, a
|
|
Scott Talbert |
0aea9e |
+derivative of the original library, and the ordinary General Public License
|
|
Scott Talbert |
0aea9e |
+treats it as such.
|
|
Scott Talbert |
0aea9e |
+
|
|
Scott Talbert |
0aea9e |
+ Because of this blurred distinction, using the ordinary General
|
|
Scott Talbert |
0aea9e |
+Public License for libraries did not effectively promote software
|
|
Scott Talbert |
0aea9e |
+sharing, because most developers did not use the libraries. We
|
|
Scott Talbert |
0aea9e |
+concluded that weaker conditions might promote sharing better.
|
|
Scott Talbert |
0aea9e |
+
|
|
Scott Talbert |
0aea9e |
+ However, unrestricted linking of non-free programs would deprive the
|
|
Scott Talbert |
0aea9e |
+users of those programs of all benefit from the free status of the
|
|
Scott Talbert |
0aea9e |
+libraries themselves. This Library General Public License is intended to
|
|
Scott Talbert |
0aea9e |
+permit developers of non-free programs to use free libraries, while
|
|
Scott Talbert |
0aea9e |
+preserving your freedom as a user of such programs to change the free
|
|
Scott Talbert |
0aea9e |
+libraries that are incorporated in them. (We have not seen how to achieve
|
|
Scott Talbert |
0aea9e |
+this as regards changes in header files, but we have achieved it as regards
|
|
Scott Talbert |
0aea9e |
+changes in the actual functions of the Library.) The hope is that this
|
|
Scott Talbert |
0aea9e |
+will lead to faster development of free libraries.
|
|
Scott Talbert |
0aea9e |
+
|
|
Scott Talbert |
0aea9e |
+ The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
|
|
Scott Talbert |
0aea9e |
+modification follow. Pay close attention to the difference between a
|
|
Scott Talbert |
0aea9e |
+"work based on the library" and a "work that uses the library". The
|
|
Scott Talbert |
0aea9e |
+former contains code derived from the library, while the latter only
|
|
Scott Talbert |
0aea9e |
+works together with the library.
|
|
Scott Talbert |
0aea9e |
+
|
|
Scott Talbert |
0aea9e |
+ Note that it is possible for a library to be covered by the ordinary
|
|
Scott Talbert |
0aea9e |
+General Public License rather than by this special one.
