10 Most of the files included in this project are in the public domain,
11 and therefore have no license requirement and no restrictions on
12 copying or usage. The exceptions are:
14 - docutils/optik.py, copyright Gregory P. Ward, released under a
15 BSD-style license (which can be found in the module's source code).
17 - docutils/roman.py, copyright by Mark Pilgrim, released under the
18 `Python 2.1.1 license`_.
20 - test/difflib.py, copyright by the Python Software Foundation,
21 released under the `Python 2.2 license`_. This file is included for
22 compatibility with Python versions less than 2.2; if you have Python
23 2.2 or higher, difflib.py is not needed and may be removed. (It's
24 only used to report test failures anyhow; it isn't installed
25 anywhere. The included file is a pre-generator version of the
26 difflib.py module included in Python 2.2.)
28 (Disclaimer: I am not a lawyer.) Both the BSD license and the Python
29 license are OSI-approved_ and GPL-compatible_. Although complicated
30 by multiple owners and lots of legalese, the Python license basically
31 lets you copy, use, modify, and redistribute files as long as you keep
32 the copyright attribution intact, note any changes you make, and don't
33 use the owner's name in vain. The BSD license is similar.
