<p>This library is <em>free</em>; this means that everyone is free to use it and
|
||
|
|
free to redistribute it on a free basis. The library is not in the public
|
||
|
|
domain; it is copyrighted and there are restrictions on its distribution, but
|
||
|
|
these restrictions are designed to permit everything that a good cooperating
|
||
|
|
citizen would want to do. What is not allowed is to try to prevent others
|
||
|
|
from further sharing any version of this library that they might get from
|
||
|
|
you.
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>Specifically, we want to make sure that you have the right to give away copies
|
||
|
|
of the library, that you receive source code or else can get it if you want
|
||
|
|
it, that you can change this library or use pieces of it in new free programs,
|
||
|
|
and that you know you can do these things.
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>To make sure that everyone has such rights, we have to forbid you to deprive
|
||
|
|
anyone else of these rights. For example, if you distribute copies of the GNU
|
||
|
|
MP library, you must give the recipients all the rights that you have. You
|
||
|
|
must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the source code. And you
|
||
|
|
must tell them their rights.
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>Also, for our own protection, we must make certain that everyone finds out
|
||
|
|
that there is no warranty for the GNU MP library. If it is modified by
|
||
|
|
someone else and passed on, we want their recipients to know that what they
|
||
|
|
have is not what we distributed, so that any problems introduced by others
|
||
|
|
will not reflect on our reputation.
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>More precisely, the GNU MP library is dual licensed, under the conditions of
|
||
|
|
the GNU Lesser General Public License version 3 (see
|
||
|
|
<samp>COPYING.LESSERv3</samp>), or the GNU General Public License version 2 (see
|
||
|
|
<samp>COPYINGv2</samp>). This is the recipient’s choice, and the recipient also has
|
||
|
|
the additional option of applying later versions of these licenses. (The
|
||
|
|
reason for this dual licensing is to make it possible to use the library with
|
||
|
|
programs which are licensed under GPL version 2, but which for historical or
|
||
|
|
other reasons do not allow use under later versions of the GPL).
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>Programs which are not part of the library itself, such as demonstration
|
||
|
|
programs and the GMP testsuite, are licensed under the terms of the GNU
|
||
|
|
General Public License version 3 (see <samp>COPYINGv3</samp>), or any later
|
||
|
|
version.
