-    This library used to be available under the GPL - this was changed
-    with version 1.1.7 with the rationale that there are now many free
-    crypto libraries available and many of them come with capabilities
-    similar to Libcrypt.  We decided that to foster the use of
-    cryptography in Free Software an LGPLed library would make more
-    sense because it avoids problems due to license incompatibilities
-    between some Free Software licenses and the GPL.
-
-    Please note that in many cases it is better for a library to be
-    licensed under the GPL, so that it provides an advantage for free
-    software projects.  The Lesser GPL is so named because it does
-    less to protect the freedom of the users of the code that it
-    covers.  See http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/why-not-lgpl.html for
-    more explanation.
