This copy of Calc is linked against the GNU Readline library. Normally, Calc is distributed under the LGPL, and for this copy, section 3 of the LGPL has been applied: 3. You may opt to apply the terms of the ordinary GNU General Public License instead of this License to a given copy of the Library. To do this, you must alter all the notices that refer to this License, so that they refer to the ordinary GNU General Public License, version 2, instead of to this License. (If a newer version than version 2 of the ordinary GNU General Public License has appeared, then you can specify that version instead if you wish.) Do not make any other change in these notices. Thus, this copy and all subsequent copies and derivative works are under the terms of the GNU General Public License version 2. The original "COPYING" document distributed with calc has been removed, as it is not licensed in a way which permits the changes necessary to make this conversion. You can find the relevant information in the source RPM or on the web site at . NOTE: This is intended as a short-term fix; hopefully in the future the command-line program and the calc libraries will be split in a way that makes this unnecessary.
