Copyright Information
Before the legalese starts, here's the translation to plain
english:
- Do whatever you want with paintlib. Just don't come running to me
with a lawyer if something goes wrong.
- If you redistribute paintlib, you should redistribute the whole library
including documentation and copyright. If that is not possible, you
must make it clear that you're distributing a changed version. In no
event may any part of the library be distributed without this
copyright notice.
- If you use paintlib in your program, you must acknowledge this,
preferably in the about box and the documentation.
The legalese itself is a derivative work. I modified the LIBPNG copyright
notice. Thanks, guys :-).
