Copying
*******

   The subroutines and source code in the a2ps package are "free"; this
means that everyone is free to use them and free to redistribute them
on a free basis.  The a2ps-related programs are not in the public
domain; they are copyrighted and there are restrictions on their
distribution, but these restrictions are designed to permit everything
that a good cooperating citizen would want to do.  What is not allowed
is to try to prevent others from further sharing any version of these
programs that they might get from you.

   Specifically, we want to make sure that you have the right to give
away copies of the programs that relate to a2ps, that you receive
source code or else can get it if you want it, that you can change these
programs or use pieces of them in new free programs, and that you know
you can do these things.

   To make sure that everyone has such rights, we have to forbid you to
deprive anyone else of these rights.  For example, if you distribute
copies of the a2ps-related code, you must give the recipients all the
rights that you have.  You must make sure that they, too, receive or
can get the source code.  And you must tell them their rights.

   Also, for our own protection, we must make certain that everyone
finds out that there is no warranty for the programs that relate to
a2ps.  If these programs are modified by someone else and passed on, we
want their recipients to know that what they have is not what we
distributed, so that any problems introduced by others will not reflect
on our reputation.

   The precise conditions of the licenses for the programs currently
being distributed that relate to a2ps are found in the General Public
Licenses that accompany them.
