GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
Version 2, June 1991
Copyright (C) 1989, 1991 Free Software
Foundation, Inc., 51 Franklin Street, Fifth
Floor, Boston, MA 02110-1301, USA.
Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute
verbatim copies of this license document,
but changing it is not allowed.

Preamble
The licenses for most software are designed
to take away your freedom to share and
change it. By contrast, the GNU General
Public License is intended to guarantee your
freedom to share and change free software--
to make sure the software is free for all its
users. This General Public License applies to
most of the Free Software Foundation’s
software and to any other program whose
authors commit to using it. (Some other Free
Software Foundation software is covered by
the GNU Library General Public License
instead.) You can apply it to your programs,
too.
When we speak of free software, we are
referring to freedom, not price. Our General
Public Licenses are designed to make sure
that you have the freedom to distribute
copies of free software (and charge for this
service if you wish), that you receive source
code or can get it if you want it, that you can
change the software or use pieces of it in new
free programs; and that you know you can do
these things.
To protect your rights, we need to make
restrictions that forbid anyone to deny you
these rights or to ask you to surrender the
rights. These restrictions translate to certain
responsibilities for you if you distribute
copies of the software, or if you modify it.
For example, if you distribute copies of such
a program, whether gratis or for a fee, you
must give the recipients all the rights that
you have. You must make sure that they, too,
receive or can get the source code. And you
must show them these terms so they know
their rights.
We protect your rights with two steps: (1)
copyright the software, and (2) offer you this
license which gives you legal permission to
copy, distribute and/or modify the software.
Also, for each author’s protection and ours,
we want to make certain that everyone
understands that there is no warranty for this
free software. If the software is modified by
someone else and passed on, we want its
recipients to know that what they have is not
the original, so that any problems introduced
by others will not reflect on the original
authors’ reputations.
Finally, any free program is threatened
constantly by software patents. We wish to
