+
+This documents purpose is to state the conditions under which this
+Package (See definition below) viz: "Shadow", the Shadow Password Suite
+which is held by Julianne Frances Haugh, may be copied, such that the
+copyright holder maintains some semblance of artistic control over the
+development of the package, while giving the users of the package the
+right to use and distribute the Package in a more-or-less customary
+fashion, plus the right to make reasonable modifications.
+
+So there.
+
+***************************************************************************
+
+Definitions:
+
+
+A "Package" refers to the collection of files distributed by the
+Copyright Holder, and derivatives of that collection of files created
+through textual modification, or segments thereof.
+
+"Standard Version" refers to such a Package if it has not been modified,
+or has been modified in accordance with the wishes of the Copyright
+Holder.
+
+"Copyright Holder" is whoever is named in the copyright or copyrights
+for the package.
+
+"You" is you, if you're thinking about copying or distributing this
+Package.
+
+"Reasonable copying fee" is whatever you can justify on the basis of
+media cost, duplication charges, time of people involved, and so on.
+(You will not be required to justify it to the Copyright Holder, but
+only to the computing community at large as a market that must bear the
+fee.)
+
+"Freely Available" means that no fee is charged for the item itself,
+though there may be fees involved in handling the item. It also means
+that recipients of the item may redistribute it under the same
+conditions they received it.
+
+
+1. You may make and give away verbatim copies of the source form of the
+Standard Version of this Package without restriction, provided that you
+duplicate all of the original copyright notices and associated
+disclaimers.
+
+2. You may apply bug fixes, portability fixes and other modifications
+derived from the Public Domain or from the Copyright Holder. A Package
+modified in such a way shall still be considered the Standard Version.
+
+3. You may otherwise modify your copy of this Package in any way,
+provided that you insert a prominent notice in each changed file stating
+how and when AND WHY you changed that file, and provided that you do at
+least ONE of the following:
+
+a) place your modifications in the Public Domain or otherwise make them
+Freely Available, such as by posting said modifications to Usenet or an
+equivalent medium, or placing the modifications on a major archive site
+such as uunet.uu.net, or by allowing the Copyright Holder to include
+your modifications in the Standard Version of the Package.
+
+b) use the modified Package only within your corporation or organization.
+
+c) rename any non-standard executables so the names do not conflict with
+standard executables, which must also be provided, and provide separate
+documentation for each non-standard executable that clearly documents
+how it differs from the Standard Version.
+
+d) make other distribution arrangements with the Copyright Holder.
+
+4. You may distribute the programs of this Package in object code or
+executable form, provided that you do at least ONE of the following:
+
+a) distribute a Standard Version of the executables and library files,
+together with instructions (in the manual page or equivalent) on where
+to get the Standard Version.
+
+b) accompany the distribution with the machine-readable source of the
+Package with your modifications.
+
+c) accompany any non-standard executables with their corresponding
+Standard Version executables, giving the non-standard executables
+non-standard names, and clearly documenting the differences in manual
+pages (or equivalent), together with instructions on where to get the
+Standard Version.
+
+d) make other distribution arrangements with the Copyright Holder.
+
+5. You may charge a reasonable copying fee for any distribution of this
+Package. You may charge any fee you choose for support of this Package.
+YOU MAY NOT CHARGE A FEE FOR THIS PACKAGE ITSELF. However, you may
+distribute this Package in aggregate with other (possibly commercial)
+programs as part of a larger (possibly commercial) software distribution
+provided that YOU DO NOT ADVERTISE this package as a product of your
+own.
+
+6. The name of the Copyright Holder may not be used to endorse or
+promote products derived from this software without specific prior
+written permission.
+
+7. THIS PACKAGE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND WITHOUT ANY EXPRESS OR IMPLIED
+WARRANTIES, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
+MERCHANTIBILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
+
+ The End
