The "rules" for copyrighted software in comp.sources.unix are remarkably
simple:
	Any reader must be able to compile and use the source anywhere
	they want, without having to pay for it.  They must be able to
	pass it along to someone else.  There must be no time limits
	(archive sites are forever).
