If the program is interactive, make it output
a short notice like this when it starts in an
interactive mode:
Gnomovision version 69, Copyright (C)
year name of author Gnomovision comes

for details type `show w’. This is free
sof tw are , and you are welc om e to
redistribute it under certain conditions;
type `show c’ for details.
The hypothetical commands `show w’ and
`show c’ should show the appropriate parts
of the General Public License. Of course, the
commands you use may be called something
other than `show w’ and `show c’; they
could even be mouse-clicks or menu items--
whatever suits your program.
You should also get your employer (if you
work as a programmer) or your school, if
any, to sign a “copyright disclaimer” for the
program, if necessary. Here is a sample; alter
the names:
Yoyodyne, Inc., hereby disclaims all copyright
interest in the program `Gnomovision’ (which
makes passes at compilers) written by James
Hacker.

This General Public License does not permit
incorporating your program into proprietary
programs. If your program is a subroutine
library, you may consider it more useful to
permit linking proprietary applications with
the library. If this is what you want to do,
use the GNU Lesser General Public License
instead of this License.

Preamble
The licenses for most software are designed
to take away your freedom to share and
change it. By contrast, 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 Lesser General Public
License, applies to some specially designated
software packages--typically libraries--of
the Free Software Foundation and other
authors who decide to use it. You can use it
too, but we suggest you first think carefully
about whether this license or the ordinary
General Public License is the better strategy
to use in any particular case, based on the
explanations below.
When we speak of free software, we are
referring to freedom of use, 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 and use pieces
of it in new free programs; and that you are
informed that you can do these things.
To protect your rights, we need to make
restrictions that forbid distributors to deny
you these rights or to ask you to surrender
these 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 recipients all the rights that we
gave you. You must make sure that they,
too, receive or can get the source code.
If you link other code 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.
We protect your rights with a two-step
