<p>LIBICAL -- an implementation of iCalendar protocols and data formats</p>

<p>Most of the code in here was written by Eric Busboom with help from
dozens of contributors.  It is currently maintained by Art Cancro
and Wilfried Goesgens.</p>

<p>Libical is an Open Source implementation of the iCalendar protocols
and protocol data units. The iCalendar specification describes how
calendar clients can communicate with calendar servers so users can
store their calendar data and arrange meetings with other users. </p>

<p>Libical implements RFC2445, RFC2446 and some of RFC2447 the
CalDav scheduling extensions in RFC6638; iCalendar extensions in RFC7986;
plus the iCalendar iMIP protocol in RFC6047.</p>
