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. </para> <para>Quan parlem de programari lliure ens referim a la llibertat, no al preu. Les nostres llicències públiques generals estan pensades per assegurar que tingueu la llibertat de distribuir còpies del programari lliure (i de cobrar per aquest servei, si voleu); que rebeu el codi font o que, si el voleu, el pugueu rebre; que pugueu modificar el programari o fer-ne servir parts en programes lliures nous; i que sapigueu que podeu fer totes aquestes coses.</para> <para>Per protegir els vostres drets, cal que apliquem restriccions que prohibeixin a tothom de negar-vos aquests drets o demanar-vos que hi renuncieu. Aquestes restriccions suposen determinades responsabilitats per a vós si distribuïu còpies del programari o si el modifiqueu.</para> <para> 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. </para> <para> We protect your rights with a two-step method: (1) we copyright the library, and (2) we offer you this license, which gives you legal permission to copy, distribute and/or modify the library. </para> <para> 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. </para> <para> 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 restrictive license from a patent holder. Therefore, we insist that any patent license obtained for a version of the library must be consistent with the full freedom of use specified in this license. </para> <para> Most GNU software, including some libraries, is covered by the ordinary GNU General Public License. This license, the GNU Lesser General Public License, applies to certain designated libraries, and is quite different from the ordinary General Public License. We use this license for certain libraries in order to permit linking those libraries into non-free programs. </para> <para> 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. </para> <para> We call this license the <quote>Lesser</quote> 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. </para> <para> 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. </para> <para> 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. </para> <para> 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. </para> <para> The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and modification follow. Pay close attention to the difference between a <quote>work based on the library</quote> and a <quote>work that uses the library</quote>. The former contains code derived from the library, whereas the latter must be combined with the library in order to run. </para> </sect1> <sect1 id="terms" label="none"> <title>TERMES I CONDICIONS PER A LA CÒPIA, DISTRIBUCIÓ I MODIFICACIÓ</title> <sect2 id="sect0" label="0"> <title>Secció 0</title> <para> 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 <quote>this License</quote>). Each licensee is addressed as <quote>you</quote>. </para> <para> A <quote>library</quote> 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. </para> <para> The <quote>Library</quote>, below, refers to any such software library or work which has been distributed under these terms. A <quote>work based on the Library</quote> 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 <quote>modification</quote>.) </para> <para> <quote>Source code</quote> 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. </para> <para> Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of running a program using the Library is not restricted, and output from such a program is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the Library (independent of the use of the Library in a tool for writing it). Whether that is true depends on what the Library does and what the program that uses the Library does. </para> </sect2> <sect2 id="sect1" label="1"> <title>Secció 1</title> <para>Podeu copiar i distribuir còpies literals del codi font de la biblioteca tal com el rebeu, en qualsevol mitjà, sempre que publiqueu en cada còpia, de manera adient i ben visible, una nota de copyright i una renúncia de garantia; manteniu intactes tots els avisos que fan referència a aquesta llicència i a l'absència de garanties de cap mena; i distribuïu una còpia d'aquesta llicència juntament amb la biblioteca.</para> <para>Podeu cobrar un preu per l'acte físic de trametre una còpia i podeu, si així ho voleu, oferir alguna garantia a canvi d'un preu. </para> </sect2> <sect2 id="sect2" label="2"> <title>Secció 2</title> <para>Podeu modificar la còpia o còpies de la biblioteca o qualsevol tros de la biblioteca i, així, fer una obra basada en la biblioteca, i podeu copiar i distribuir aquestes modificacions o obres sota els termes de la <link linkend="sect1">Secció 1</link> anterior, sempre que també compliu les condicions següents: <orderedlist numeration="loweralpha"> <listitem> <para> The modified work must itself be a software library. </para> </listitem> <listitem> <para>Heu de fer que els fitxers modificats portin indicacions ben visibles que diguin que heu modificat els fitxers, i hi heu d'escriure la data de la modificació.</para> </listitem> <listitem> <para> You must cause the whole of the work to be licensed at no charge to all third parties under the terms of this License. </para> </listitem> <listitem> <para> If a facility in the modified Library refers to a function or a table of data to be supplied by an application program that uses the facility, other than as an argument passed when the facility is invoked, then you must make a good faith effort to ensure that, in the event an application does not supply such function or table, the facility still operates, and performs whatever part of its purpose remains meaningful. </para> <para> (For example, a function in a library to compute square roots has a purpose that is entirely well-defined independent of the application. Therefore, Subsection 2d requires that any application-supplied function or table used by this function must be optional: if the application does not supply it, the square root function must still compute square roots.) </para> <para>Aquests requeriments afecten l'obra modificada com un tot. Si hi ha parts identificables que no estan derivades de la biblioteca, i es poden considerar raonablement com a obres independents i separades en si mateixes, aleshores aquesta llicència i els seus termes no s'apliquen a aquelles parts quan les distribuïu com a obres separades. Però quan distribuïu aquestes mateixes parts integrades en un tot que sigui una obra basada en la biblioteca, la distribució del tot s'ha de fer d'acord amb els termes d'aquesta llicència, i els permisos atorgats a altres beneficiaris abasten el tot sencer i, per tant, totes i cadascuna de les parts, independentment de qui les hagi escrites. </para> <para>Així doncs, la intenció d'aquesta secció no és reclamar o disputar-vos cap dret a codi que hagueu escrit del tot vós mateix. La intenció és més aviat exercir el dret a controlar la distribució d'obres derivades o col·lectives basades en la biblioteca.</para> <para> In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Library with the Library (or with a work based on the Library) on a volume of a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under the scope of this License. </para> </listitem> </orderedlist></para> </sect2> <sect2 id="sect3" label="3"> <title>Secció 3</title> <para> You may opt to apply the terms of the ordinary GNU General Public License instead of this License to a given copy of the Library.

(If a newer version than version 2 of the ordinary GNU General Public License has appeared, then you can specify that version instead if you wish.) Do not make any other change in these notices. </para> <para> Once this change is made in a given copy, it is irreversible for that copy, so the ordinary GNU General Public License applies to all subsequent copies and derivative works made from that copy. </para> <para> This option is useful when you wish to copy part of the code of the Library into a program that is not a library. </para> </sect2> <sect2 id="sect4" label="4"> <title>Secció 4</title> <para> You may copy and distribute the Library (or a portion or derivative of it, under <link linkend="sect2">Section 2</link> ) in object code or executable form under the terms of Sections <link linkend="sect1">1</link> and <link linkend="sect2">2</link> above provided that you accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections <link linkend="sect1">1</link> and <link linkend="sect2">2</link> above on a medium customarily used for software interchange. </para> <para> If distribution of object code is made by offering access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent access to copy the source code from the same place satisfies the requirement to distribute the source code, even though third parties are not compelled to copy the source along with the object code. </para> </sect2> <sect2 id="sect5" label="5"> <title>Secció 5</title> <para> A program that contains no derivative of any portion of the Library, but is designed to work with the Library by being compiled or linked with it, is called a <quote>work that uses the Library</quote>.

The threshold for this to be true is not precisely defined by law. </para> <para> If such an object file uses only numerical parameters, data structure layouts and accessors, and small macros and small inline functions (ten lines or less in length), then the use of the object file is unrestricted, regardless of whether it is legally a derivative work.
