The
GNU Lesser General Public License is a software license designed as a compromise between the
GNU General Public License and the simple permissive licenses of
X Window System and
BSD.
It places a
copyleft restriction on individual source code files but does not copyleft the program as a whole.
The license is useful for software libraries; it was once called the GNU Library General Public License.
