+This is libio, the GNU C/C++ input/output library.
+
+By default, the library is configured to build the C++ iostream
+facility (in $libdir/libiostream.a).
+
+The library can be configured to build the C stdio facility
+that is part of a C run-time library.
+
+This library is distributed with libg++; see ../libg++/README
+for installation instructions, and where to send bug reports
+and questions.
+
+* Copyright restrictions
+
+The files in this directory are generally covered by the GNU Public
+License (which is in the file ../COPYING), but modified with the
+following:
+
+    As a special exception, if you link this library with files
+    compiled with a GNU compiler to produce an executable, this does not cause
+    the resulting executable to be covered by the GNU General Public License.
+    This exception does not however invalidate any other reasons why
+    the executable file might be covered by the GNU General Public License.
+
+A few source files and subroutines are covered by other (but
+less restrictive) copyright conditions.  E.g. some code (such
+as iovfprintf.c) is based on software that was developed by the
+University of California, Berkeley, for the Berkeley Software
+Distribution (BSD-4.4), and bears their copyright;  and one
+file (floatconv.c) is derived from ("free") code copyrighted AT&T.
