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 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 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 

free use or not licensed at all.

The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and 

modification follow.
