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

, "General Public License, applies to certain designated libraries, and"

, "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"
