4.1.  GNU General Public License 
Version 2, June 1991 
Copyright (C) 1989, 1991 Free Software Foundation, Inc. 51 Franklin

Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this 
license document, but changing it is not allowed. 
 
4.1.1. 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
