   The reason we have a separate public license for some libraries is that    When a program is linked with a library, whether statically or using

   are the reason we use the ordinary General Public License for many
   libraries.  However, the Lesser license provides advantages in certain

 will lead to faster development of free libraries.  
   
     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.
   
     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.
