U moet uw werkgever (als u werkt als programmeur) of
uw school, indien van toepassing, zo nodig ook een
"auteursrechtdisclaimer" voor het programma laten
ondertekenen. Hier volgt een voorbeeld (pas de namen
aan):
Yoyodyne, Inc., doet hierbij afstand van alle
auteursrechten op het programma 'Gnomovision' (een
programma voor het gebruik van compilers) dat is
geschreven door James Hacker.

Het is conform deze General Public License niet
toegestaan om uw programma te integreren in
programma's waarvoor eigendomsrechten gelden. Als uw
programma een subroutinebibliotheek is, is het mogelijk
nuttiger om toe te staan dat programma's met
eigendomsrechten worden gekoppeld aan de bibliotheek.
In dat geval gebruikt u de GNU Lesser General Public
License in plaats van deze Licentie.

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 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.
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
