- IMPORTANT NOTE
- --------------
-
- STk bignums are implemented with the GNU mp APIs. This library provides a
- VERY EFFICIENT implementation of multiple precision numbers. This library
- is placed under the GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE. However, to avoid to fall
- under the restrictive GPL terms you can use the FGMP package (FGMP is a
- public domain implementation of a subset of the GNU gmp library with the
- same API, written by Mark Henderson <markh@wimsey.bc.ca>). This package
- has the advantage to be FREE, and disadventage to be SLOW.
-
- So, if your concern is speed, and if the GPL is not a problem for you,
- use the Gnu package.
