How to Apply These Terms to Your New Libraries
If you develop a new library, and you want it to be of the greatest possible use to
the public, we recommend making it free software that everyone can redistribute
and change.You can do so by permitting redistribution under these terms (or,
alternatively, under the terms of the ordinary General Public License).
To apply these terms, attach the following notices to the library.It is safest to attach
them to the start of each source file to most effectively convey the exclusion of
warranty; and each file should have at least the "copyright" line and a pointer to
where the full notice is found.
<one line to give the library's name and a brief idea of what it does.> Copyright (C)
<year><name of author>
This library is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the terms
of the GNU Lesser General Public License as published by the Free Software
Foundation; either version 2.1 of the License, or (at your option) any later version.
This library is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, but WITHOUT ANY
WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of MERCHANTABILITY or
FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.See the GNU Lesser General Public
License for more details.
You should have received a copy of the GNU Lesser General Public License along
with this library; if not, write to the Free Software Foundation, Inc., 51 Franklin St,
Fifth Floor, Boston, MA02110-1301USA
Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.
You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or your school,
if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the library, if necessary.Here is a sample;
alter the names:
Yoyodyne, Inc., hereby disclaims all copyright interest in the library `Frob' (a library
for tweaking knobs) written by James Random Hacker.
<signature of Ty Coon>, 1 April 1990
Ty Coon, President of Vice
That's all there is to it!
