Question

For GPL programs, there is a small notice that we can add at the beginning of a program : (http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-3.0.en.html)

<one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.>
Copyright (C) <year>  <name of author>

This program is free software: you can redistribute it and/or modify
it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by

(at your option) any later version.

This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful,
but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of
MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.  See the
GNU General Public License for more details.

You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License
along with this program.  If not, see <http://www.gnu.org/licenses/>.

But, on the page of the LGPL there is no equivalent provided : http://www.gnu.org/licenses/lgpl.html

So what is the equivalent of the GPL notice for a LGPL program ?

Was it helpful?

Solution

According to http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-howto.html

This statement should go near the beginning of every source file, close to the copyright notices. When using the Lesser GPL, insert the word “Lesser” before “General” in all three places. When using the GNU AGPL, insert the word “Affero” before “General” in all three places.

where "this statement" is the GPL small notice posted in your original question.
