So remove that first line from this paragraph
* This file is licensed under the terms of the GNU General Public
* License version 2. This program is licensed "as is" without any
* warranty of any kind, whether express or implied.
reducing it to:
* This program is licensed "as is" without any warranty of any kind,
* whether express or implied.
Is that what you are proposing ?
The GPL does state that there is no warranty but using a different
wording that may not be legally equivalent.
thx!
