A NOTE ABOUT LICENSING ---------------------- All the software in the tarfile in this hierarchy is based on code freely available via the Internet; thus license conditions vary from package to package. In the absence of any licence conditions for any given package in this hierarchy, it may be assumed that the source and binaries may be distributed without charge provided that the source is not abridged and an appropriate mechanism is made available for users of the binaries to acquire the source. In all cases, original authors should be acknowledged. Where feasible, details have been given within the package hierarchy of the location where the source was obtained; further licensing details may be available on that site, but this is not guaranteed.
