Finally, software patents pose a constant threat to the existence of any free program. We wish to make sure that a company cannot effectively restrict the users of a free program by obtaining a restrictive license from a patent holder. Therefore, we insist that any patent license obtained for a version of the library must be consistent with the full freedom of use specified in this license.
Azkenik, software-patenteak etengabeko arriskua dira programa libreentzat. Ziurtatu nahi dizugu enpresa batek ezin dituela programa libre baten erabiltzaileak mugatu patentea duenaren lizentzia murriztailea lortuz. Horregatik, azpimarratzen dugu liburutegiaren bertsio batetik eskuratutako patenteak lizentzia honetan zehazten den erabilera-askatasuna izan beha duela.
