Hereditary abelian category with enough projectives ($L_{2}F=0$)

An abelian category with enough projectives is hereditary when every subobject of a projective object is projective. For $0\to K\to P\to A\to 0$ with $P$ projective, dimension shifting gives $L_{2}F(A)\cong L_{1}F(K)$. Hence hereditaryness is equivalent to vanishing of $L_{2}F$ for every additive right exact functor into any abelian category, by projectivity detected by all first left derived functors. It is also equivalent to left exactness of every $L_{1}F$: the derived long exact sequence gives injectivity of $L_{1}F(K)\to L_{1}F(P)$ when $L_{2}F$ vanishes, and applying left exactness to the displayed sequence proves the converse.
