It seems so, just the restrictions mentioned in the license. According to TLDR;Legal (loved the name of the website, btw):

GPL v.2:
You may copy, distribute and modify the software as long as you track changes/dates in source files. Any modifications to or software including (via compiler) GPL-licensed code must also be made available under the GPL along with build & install instructions.

Super thanks to you!
If I remember correctly there is also GPL v.3 out there too. Are there any key differences between v2 & v3?
