-Previously Vita Nuova made the Inferno® software available under its
-`Vita Nuova Liberal Source Licence' of May 2003.  Because a proliferation
-of licences for Open/Free software is increasingly seen as undesirable, and
-because the Free Software Foundation found that licence incompatible with the GPL,
-Vita Nuova now relicenses the software under a mixture of existing Free Software
-licences.
-
-Under Vita Nuova's `dual-licence' scheme, the Inferno® software is made
-available on the following terms.  Files and directories in the distribution
-contain NOTICE files that give (or refer to) the terms of several Free Software
-licences, listed here in increasing order of liberality:
-	- GNU General Public License (`GPL')
-	- GNU Lesser General Public License (`LGPL')
-	- Lucent Public Licence 1.02
-	- a Vita Nuova `free for all' licence based on the so-called `MIT template'
-The text of each licence can be found in lib/legal.
-
-Some portions of the software are subject to GPL and LGPL.
-Their `copyleft' clauses impose some degree of reciprocity; for instance, if you
-make changes and additions to such software, and you also distribute the result,
-you must make those changes and additions available in source form.
-
-Other portions are subject to the Lucent Public or Vita Nuova `free for all' licence
-and do not impose `copyleft' conditions.
-
-For instance, the native and hosted kernels are `free for all', as are most of the
-supporting libraries, but the virtual machine library and Limbo library modules are LGPL,
-and the applications, including the Limbo compiler, are GPL.
-
-The particular choices are intended to maximise the freedom to deploy the system
-in proprietary settings, and preventing clashes with licence terms for related systems
-such as Plan 9 (for kernel and library code), whilst protecting the investment in
-Free Software made by Vita Nuova and other contributors.
-
-If the terms referenced by the NOTICE files are NOT acceptable (or you just fancy
-a quiet life without having to worry about them), THEN you can obtain
-a more conventional Commercial Licence from Vita Nuova (support@vitanuova.com).
