Licensing terms for `libio'
===========================

   Since the `iostream' classes are so fundamental to standard C++, the
Free Software Foundation has agreed to a special exception to its
standard license, when you link programs with `libio.a':

     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.

   The code is under the GNU General Public License (version 2) for all
other purposes than linking with this library; that means that you can
modify and redistribute the code as usual, but remember that if you do,
your modifications, and anything you link with the modified code, must
be available to others on the same terms.

   These functions are also available as part of the `libg++' library;
if you link with that library instead of `libio', the GNU Library
General Public License applies.
