The GNU Autoconf Archive is a collection of more than 450 macros for GNU Au=
toconf
that have been contributed as free software by friendly supporters of the c=
ause
From=20all over the Internet. Every single one of those macros can be re-us=
ed
without imposing any restrictions whatsoever on the licensing of the genera=
ted
configure script. In particular, it is possible to use all those macros in
configure scripts that are meant for non-free software. This policy is unus=
ual for
a Free Software Foundation project. The FSF firmly believes that software o=
ught to
be free, and software licenses like the GPL are specifically designed to en=
sure
that derivative work based on free software must be free as well. In case of
Autoconf, however, an exception has been made, because Autoconf is at such a
pivotal position in the software development tool chain that the benefits f=
rom
having this tool available as widely as possible outweigh the disadvantage =
that
some authors may choose to use it, too, for proprietary software.

[*] Use a .sig file to verify that the corresponding file (without the
.sig suffix) is intact.  First, be sure to download both the .sig file
and the corresponding tarball.  Then, run a command like this:

  gpg --verify autoconf-archive-2013.04.06.tar.gz.sig

If that command fails because you don't have the required public key,
then run this command to import it:

  gpg --keyserver keys.gnupg.net --recv-keys 99089D72

and rerun the 'gpg --verify' command.

This release was bootstrapped with the following tools:
  Autoconf 2.69
  Automake 1.13.1
  Gnulib v0.0-7899-g34f8464
