#19003 follow up ### Summary of the issue: This pull request makes a minor update to the licensing information in the project documentation. The change clarifies that NVDA is available under a modified GNU General Public License version 2 or any later version. Updated the license statement in `readme.md` to specify "version 2 or later" rather than just "version 2" for the GNU General Public License.
