Terms to Your New Programs If you develop a new program, and you
want it to be of the greatest possible use to the public, the best way to
achieve this is to make it free software which everyone can redistribute
and change under these terms. To do so, attach the following notices to
the program. 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 program\'s name and an idea of what it does.

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
