GNU GPLv2

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 Lesser

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 modifi ed 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 refl ect on the original

authors’ reputations.
Finally, any free program is threatened constantly

by software patents. We wish to avoid the danger

that redistributors of a free program will individually

obtain patent licenses, in effect making the program

proprietary. To prevent this, we have made it clear

that any patent must be licensed for everyone’s
