Regulatory and Compliance 311

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 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.

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.
