GNU LIBRARY GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
Version 2, June 1991
Copyright (C) 1991 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
51 Franklin St, 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 library GPL. It is numbered 2 because it goes with version 2 of
the ordinary GPL.]
Preamble
The licenses for most software are designed to take away your freedom to share and change it. By con-
trast, 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 Library General Public License, applies to some specially designated Free Software
Foundation software, and to any other libraries whose authors decide to use it. You can use it for your
libraries, too.
When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, 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 or use pieces of it in new free programs; and that you know you can do these things.
To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid anyone to deny you these rights or to ask
you to surrender the 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 recipi-
ents all the rights that we gave you. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the source
code. If you link a program 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.
Our method of protecting your rights has two steps: (1) copyright the library, and (2) offer you this license
which gives you legal permission to copy, distribute and/or modify the library.
Also, for each distributor's protection, we want to make certain that everyone understands that there is no
warranty for this free library. If the library is modified by someone else and passed on, we want its recipi-
ents to know that what they have is not the original version, so that any problems introduced by others
will not reflect on the original authors' reputations.
