GNU LESSER GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
Version 2°1, February 1999
Copyright (C) 1991, 1999 Free Software Foundation, Inc°
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
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

Agreement
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°
GNU LESSER GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND
MODIFICATION
This License Agreement applies to any software library
or other program which contains a notice placed by
the copyright holder or other authorized party saying
it may be distributed under the terms of this Lesser
General Public License (also called “this License”)° Each
licensee is addressed as “you”°
A “library” means a collection of software functions
and/or data prepared so as to be conveniently linked
with application programs (which use some of those
functions and data) to form executables°
The “Library”, below, refers to any such software library
or work which has been distributed under these terms°
A “work based on the Library” means either the Library
or any derivative work under copyright law: that is to
say, a work containing the Library or a portion of it,
either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated
straightforwardly into another language° (Hereinafter,
translation is included without limitation in the term
“modification”°)
“Source code” for a work means the preferred form of
the work for making modifications to it° For a library,
complete source code means all the source code for
all modules it contains, plus any associated interface
definition files, plus the scripts used to control
compilation and installation of the library°
Activities
other
than
copying,
distribution
and
modification are not covered by this License; they are
outside its scope° The act of running a program using
the Library is not restricted, and output from such a
program is covered only if its contents constitute a
work based on the Library (independent of the use
of the Library in a tool for writing it)° Whether that is
true depends on what the Library does and what the
program that uses the Library does°
You
may
copy
and
distribute
verbatim
copies
of
the
Library’s complete source code as you receive it, in
any medium, provided that you conspicuously and
appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate
copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep
intact all the notices that refer to this License and to
the absence of any warranty; and distribute a copy of
this License along with the Library°
You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring
a copy, and you may at your option offer warranty
protection in exchange for a fee°
You may modify your copy or copies of the Library or
any portion of it, thus forming a work based on the
Library, and copy and distribute such modifications
or work under the terms of Section 1 above, provided
that you also meet all of these conditions:
The
modified
work
must
itself
be
a
software
a)
library°
You
must
cause
the
files
modified
to
carry
b)
prominent notices stating that you changed the
files and the date of any change°
You
must
cause
the
whole
of
the
work
to
be
c)
licensed at no charge to all third parties under the
terms of this License°
If a facility in the modified Library refers to a function
d)
or a table of data to be supplied by an application
program that uses the facility, other than as an
argument passed when the facility is invoked, then
you must make a good faith effort to ensure that,
in the event an application does not supply such
function or table, the facility still operates, and
performs whatever part of its purpose remains
meaningful°
(For example, a function in a library to compute
square roots has a purpose that is entirely well-
defined independent of the application° Therefore,
Subsection 2d requires that any application-
supplied function or table used by this function
must be optional: if the application does not supply
it, the square root function must still compute
square roots°)
These requirements apply to the modified work as
a whole° If identifiable sections of that work are not
derived from the Library, and can be reasonably
considered independent and separate works in
themselves, then this License, and its terms, do
not apply to those sections when you distribute
them as separate works° But when you distribute
the same sections as part of a whole which is a
work based on the Library, the distribution of the
whole must be on the terms of this License, whose
permissions for other licensees extend to the entire
whole, and thus to each and every part regardless
of who wrote it°
Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim
rights or contest your rights to work written entirely
by you; rather, the intent is to exercise the right to
control the distribution of derivative or collective
works based on the Library°

Appendix E
Software Licensing
Agreement
In addition, mere aggregation of another work
not based on the Library with the Library (or with
a work based on the Library) on a volume of a
storage or distribution medium does not bring the
other work under the scope of this License°
You may opt to apply the terms of the ordinary GNU
General Public License instead of this License to a
given copy of the Library° To do this, you must alter all
the notices that refer to this License, so that they refer
to the ordinary GNU General Public License, version
2, instead of to this License° (If a newer version than
version 2 of the ordinary GNU General Public License
has appeared, then you can specify that version
instead if you wish°) Do not make any other change in
these notices°
Once this change is made in a given copy, it is
irreversible for that copy, so the ordinary GNU General
Public License applies to all subsequent copies and
derivative works made from that copy°
This option is useful when you wish to copy part of the
code of the Library into a program that is not a library°
You may copy and distribute the Library (or a portion
or derivative of it, under Section 2) in object code or
executable form under the terms of Sections 1 and
2 above provided that you accompany it with the
complete corresponding machine-readable source
code, which must be distributed under the terms of
Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used
for software interchange°
If distribution of object code is made by offering
access to copy from a designated place, then offering
equivalent access to copy the source code from the
same place satisfies the requirement to distribute
the source code, even though third parties are not
compelled to copy the source along with the object
code°
A program that contains no derivative of any portion
of the Library, but is designed to work with the Library
by being compiled or linked with it, is called a “work
that uses the Library”° Such a work, in isolation, is not
a derivative work of the Library, and therefore falls
outside the scope of this License°
However, linking a “work that uses the Library” with
the Library creates an executable that is a derivative
of the Library (because it contains portions of the
Library), rather than a “work that uses the library”° The
executable is therefore covered by this License° Section
6 states terms for distribution of such executables°
When a “work that uses the Library” uses material from
a header file that is part of the Library, the object code
for the work may be a derivative work of the Library
even though the source code is not° Whether this is
true is especially significant if the work can be linked
without the Library, or if the work is itself a library° The
threshold for this to be true is not precisely defined by
law°
If such an object file uses only numerical parameters,
data structure layouts and accessors, and small macros
and small inline functions (ten lines or less in length),
then the use of the object file is unrestricted, regardless
of whether it is legally a derivative work° (Executables
containing this object code plus portions of the Library
will still fall under Section 6°)
Otherwise, if the work is a derivative of the Library, you
may distribute the object code for the work under the
terms of Section 6° Any executables containing that
work also fall under Section 6, whether or not they are
linked directly with the Library itself°
As an exception to the Sections above, you may also
combine or link a “work that uses the Library” with the
Library to produce a work containing portions of the
Library, and distribute that work under terms of your
choice, provided that the terms permit modification
of the work for the customer’s own use and reverse
engineering for debugging such modifications°
You must give prominent notice with each copy of
the work that the Library is used in it and that the
Library and its use are covered by this License° You
must supply a copy of this License° If the work during
execution displays copyright notices, you must include
the copyright notice for the Library among them, as
well as a reference directing the user to the copy of this
License° Also, you must do one of these things:
Accompany
the
work
with
the
complete
a)
corresponding
machine-readable
source
code
for the Library including whatever changes were
used in the work (which must be distributed
under Sections 1 and 2 above); and, if the work
is an executable linked with the Library, with the
complete machine-readable “work that uses the
Library”, as object code and/or source code, so that
the user can modify the Library and then relink
to produce a modified executable containing the
modified Library° (It is understood that the user
who changes the contents of definitions files in the
Library will not necessarily be able to recompile the
application to use the modified definitions°)
Use a suitable shared library mechanism for linking
b)
with the Library° A suitable mechanism is one that
(1) uses at run time a copy of the library already
present on the user’s computer system, rather than
copying library functions into the executable, and
(2) will operate properly with a modified version of
the library, if the user installs one, as long as the
modified version is interface-compatible with the
version that the work was made with°
Accompany
the
work
with
a
written
offer,
valid
c)
for at least three years, to give the same user the

materials specified in Subsection 6a, above, for a
charge no more than the cost of performing this
distribution°
If distribution of the work is made by offering access
d)
to copy from a designated place, offer equivalent
access to copy the above specified materials from
the same place°
Verify that the user has already received a copy of
e)
these materials or that you have already sent this
user a copy°
For an executable, the required form of the “work that
uses the Library” must include any data and utility
programs needed for reproducing the executable from
it° However, as a special exception, the materials to be
distributed need not include anything that is normally
distributed (in either source or binary form) with the
major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the
operating system on which the executable runs, unless
that component itself accompanies the executable°
It may happen that this requirement contradicts the
license restrictions of other proprietary libraries that
do not normally accompany the operating system°
Such a contradiction means you cannot use both
them and the Library together in an executable that
you distribute°
You may place library facilities that are a work based
on the Library side-by-side in a single library together
with other library facilities not covered by this License,
and distribute such a combined library, provided that
the separate distribution of the work based on the
Library and of the other library facilities is otherwise
permitted, and provided that you do these two
things:
Accompany the combined library with a copy of the
a)
same work based on the Library, uncombined with
any other library facilities° This must be distributed
under the terms of the Sections above°
Give prominent notice with the combined library of
b)
the fact that part of it is a work based on the Library,
and explaining where to find the accompanying
uncombined form of the same work°
You
may
not
copy,
modify,
sublicense,
link
with,
or
distribute the Library except as expressly provided
under this License° Any attempt otherwise to copy,
modify, sublicense, link with, or distribute the Library
is void, and will automatically terminate your rights
under this License° However, parties who have received
copies, or rights, from you under this License will not
have their licenses terminated so long as such parties
remain in full compliance°
You are not required to accept this License, since you
have not signed it° However, nothing else grants you
permission to modify or distribute the Library or its
derivative works° These actions are prohibited by law if
you do not accept this License° Therefore, by modifying
or distributing the Library (or any work based on the
Library), you indicate your acceptance of this License
to do so, and all its terms and conditions for copying,
distributing or modifying the Library or works based
on it°
Each
time
you
redistribute
the
Library
(or
any
work
10°
based on the Library), the recipient automatically
receives a license from the original licensor to copy,
distribute, link with or modify the Library subject
to these terms and conditions° You may not impose
any further restrictions on the recipients’ exercise of
the rights granted herein° You are not responsible
for enforcing compliance by third parties with this
License°
If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation
11°
of patent infringement or for any other reason (not
limited to patent issues), conditions are imposed on
you (whether by court order, agreement or otherwise)
that contradict the conditions of this License, they do
not excuse you from the conditions of this License° If
you cannot distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously
your obligations under this License and any other
pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you may
not distribute the Library at all° For example, if a patent
license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of
the Library by all those who receive copies directly or
indirectly through you, then the only way you could
satisfy both it and this License would be to refrain
entirely from distribution of the Library°
If any portion of this section is held invalid or
unenforceable under any particular circumstance,
the balance of the section is intended to apply, and
the section as a whole is intended to apply in other
circumstances°
It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to
infringe any patents or other property right claims or
to contest validity of any such claims; this section has
the sole purpose of protecting the integrity of the free
software distribution system which is implemented
by
public
license
practices°
Many
people
have
made generous contributions to the wide range of
software distributed through that system in reliance
on consistent application of that system; it is up to
the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing to
distribute software through any other system and a
licensee cannot impose that choice°
This section is intended to make thoroughly clear
what is believed to be a consequence of the rest of this
License°
If the distribution and/or use of the Library is restricted
12°
in certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted
interfaces, the original copyright holder who places
the Library under this License may add an explicit

countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or
among countries not thus excluded° In such case, this
License incorporates the limitation as if written in the
body of this License°
The
Free
Software
Foundation
may
publish
revised
13°
and/or new versions of the Lesser General Public
License from time to time° Such new versions will be
similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in
detail to address new problems or concerns°
Each version is given a distinguishing version number°
If the Library specifies a version number of this License
which applies to it and “any later version”, you have the
option of following the terms and conditions either of
that version or of any later version published by the Free
Software Foundation° If the Library does not specify a
license version number, you may choose any version
ever published by the Free Software Foundation°
If
you
wish
to
incorporate
parts
of
the
Library
into
14°
other free programs whose distribution conditions are
incompatible with these, write to the author to ask for
permission° For software which is copyrighted by the
Free Software Foundation, write to the Free Software
Foundation; we sometimes make exceptions for
this° Our decision will be guided by the two goals of
preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free
software and of promoting the sharing and reuse of
software generally°
