 GNU MP Copying Conditions
 *************************
 
 This library is "free"; this means that everyone is free to use it and
 free to redistribute it on a free basis.  The library is not in the
 public domain; it is copyrighted and there are restrictions on its
 distribution, but these restrictions are designed to permit everything
 that a good cooperating citizen would want to do.  What is not allowed
 is to try to prevent others from further sharing any version of this
 library that they might get from you.
 
    Specifically, we want to make sure that you have the right to give
 away copies of the library, that you receive source code or else can
 get it if you want it, that you can change this library or use pieces
 of it in new free programs, and that you know you can do these things.
 
    To make sure that everyone has such rights, we have to forbid you to
 deprive anyone else of these rights.  For example, if you distribute
 copies of the GNU MP library, you must give the recipients all the
 rights that you have.  You must make sure that they, too, receive or
 can get the source code.  And you must tell them their rights.
 
    Also, for our own protection, we must make certain that everyone
 finds out that there is no warranty for the GNU MP library.  If it is
 modified by someone else and passed on, we want their recipients to
 know that what they have is not what we distributed, so that any
 problems introduced by others will not reflect on our reputation.
 
    The precise conditions of the license for the GNU MP library are
 found in the Lesser General Public License version 2.1 that accompanies
 the source code, see `COPYING.LIB'.  Certain demonstration programs are
 provided under the terms of the plain General Public License version 2,
 see `COPYING'.
