Copyright and other legal stuff
===============================

Copyright:

Copyright (c) 1993-1994 Markus Stipp and Matthias Scheler

   Permission is granted to make and distribute verbatim copies of this
manual provided the copyright notice and this permission notice are
preserved on all copies.

   Neither the programs nor the source code (nor parts of it) may be
included or used in commercial programs unless by written permission of
the authors.

No Warranty:

   No Warranty of any kind is given that the programs described in this
document are 100% reliable. You are using this material at your own
risk. The authors can not be made responsible for any damage which is
caused by using these programs.

Distribution:

   This package is freely distributable. It may be transfered to any
media used for distributing free software. This includes public domain
series, CDROMs, FTP servers and mailboxes.

   If you want to distribute this program you must use the original
distribution archives. The authors can not be made responsible for any
damage if the software was damaged by modifying the archive.

   There is no limit for the fee taken for this media like disks,
streamer tapes, CDROMs or for copying. It must only be clear that this
fee is taken for the media and the copying and not for the software.
Limitations of the fee have proved to be senseless in past because the
fee was not lowered but the files were removed from the original medias.

   Although the authors do not restrict the cost for distribution they
want to tell their opinion abouth this topic:

   * This software package should be available for everybody without any
     fee if it is possible.

   * If you purchased this software the normal way from a Public domain
     distributor on a disk and you have payed more than 5,-DM or $5,-US
     for it you have definitely overpayed. You should look for a
     cheaper source for Public-Domain software as soon as possible.

Limitations of Usage:

   None of the programs nor the source code (nor parts of it) may be
used on any machine which is used for the research, development,
construction, testing or production of weapons or other military
applications.  This also includes any machine which is used for
training persons for any of the above mentioned purposes.
