changeset 24663:2341958e33b5

Eliminate minor typographical differences between our version of the GPL and the one at http://www.gnu.org/licenses/old-licenses/gpl-2.0.txt This also changes two reference of "GNU Library General Public License" to "GNU Lesser General Public License." I feel that change is minor and typographical, and not significant. I don't know why that difference existed... I thought the GPLv2 always referred to the LGPL as "lesser" and not "library." But I don't think we're allowed to change the content of this document and still refer to it as "the GPL" because the content is copyright the Free Software Foundation.
