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.
