Licence text
The GNU Lesser General Public License is a Free Software licence. Like any Free Software licence, it grants to you the four following freedoms:
The freedom to run the program for any purpose.
The freedom to study how the program works and adapt it to your needs.
The freedom to redistribute copies so you can help your neighbour.
The freedom to improve the program and release your improvements to the public, so that the whole community benefits.
You may exercise the freedoms specified here provided that you comply with
the express conditions of this licence. The LGPL is intended
for software
libraries, rather than executable programs. The principal conditions
are:
|
|
You must conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy distributed
an appropriate copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty
and keep intact all
the notices that refer to this Licence and to the absence of any warranty; and
give any other recipients of the
Program a copy of the GNU Lesser General Public
License along with the Program. Any translation of the GNU Lesser General Public
License must be accompanied by the GNU Lesser General Public License.
|
|
|
If you modify your copy or copies of the library or any portion of it, you
may distribute the resulting library provided you do so
under the GNU Lesser
General Public Licence. However, programs that link to the library may be
licenced under terms of your choice,
so long as the library itself can be
changed. Any translation of the GNU Lesser General Public Licence must be
accompanied by the
GNU Lesser General Public Licence.
|
|
|
If you copy or distribute the library, you must accompany it with the
complete corresponding machine-readable source code or with
a written offer,
valid for at least three years, to furnish the complete corresponding
machine-readable source code. You need not
provide source code to programs which
link to the library.
|
Any of these conditions can be waived if you get permission from the copyright holder.
Your fair use and other rights are in no way affected by the above.
