DBW_RENDER GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
Copyright (C) 1987 David B. Wecker
Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
of this license, but changing it is not allowed.
COPYING POLICIES
1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of DBW_Render source
code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you
conspicuously and appropriately publish on each file a valid
copyright notice such as "Copyright (C) 1987 David B. Wecker",
containing the year of last change and name of copyright holder for
the file in question; keep intact the notices on all files that
refer to this License Agreement and to the absence of any warranty;
and give any other recipients of the DBW_Render program a copy of
this License Agreement along with the program.
2. You may modify your copy or copies of DBW_Render source code or any
portion of it, and copy and distribute such modifications under the
terms of Paragraph 1 above, provided that you also do the following:
a) cause the modified files to carry prominent notices stating
who last changed such files and the date of any change; and
b) cause the whole of any work that you distribute or publish,
that in whole or in part contains or is a derivative of DBW_Render
or any part thereof, to be freely distributed and licensed to all
third parties on terms identical to those contained in this License
Agreement (except that you may choose to grant more extensive
warranty protection to third parties, at your option).
c) cause modified programs when started running in the simplest and
usual way, to print an announcement including a valid copyright
notice ("Copyright (C)", the year of authorship, and all copyright
owners' names).
3. You may copy and distribute DBW_Render or any portion of it in
compiled, executable or object code form under the terms of
Paragraphs 1 and 2 above provided that you do the following:
a) cause each such copy of DBW_Render to be accompanied by the
corresponding machine-readable source code; or
b) cause each such copy of DBW_Render to be accompanied by all
documentation along with a copy of this General Public License

4. You may not copy, sublicense, distribute or transfer DBW_Render
except as expressly provided under this License Agreement. Any
attempt otherwise to copy, sublicense, distribute or transfer
DBW_Render is void and your rights to use DBW_Render under this
License agreement shall be automatically terminated. However,
parties who have received computer software programs from you with
this License Agreement will not have their licenses terminated so
long as such parties remain in full compliance.
CONTRIBUITIONS
1. All contributions will be used for program maintenance, development
and distribution.
2. Any user who sends a contribution to David B. Wecker (hereafter
referred to as "the original author") will be added to a distribution
list of registered users. This distribution list will be used for
mailings of bug fixes, enhancements and announcements of future
software.
3. This package may be obtained from the original author for a
(suggested) contribution of $18.00 (in North America), please
increase accordingly for over-seas orders. This will register you
