+HTTPi is (C)1998-2001 Cameron Kaiser. All rights reserved.
+
+** While HTTPi is free, it is NOT distributed under CopyLeft or GPL. Please **
+** read on to find out what the differences are. Licenses protect author    **
+** rights -- please honour them, even with free software packages.          **
+
+You can modify and tweak HTTPi to your heart's content. You don't need to
+pay me for using it, and you don't need my permission to make changes (though
+I or an authorised maintainer will be the only ones checking code back into
+HTTPi's code base for authorised patches and new versions).
+
+HTTPi must be free, and any and all distributions and derivatives must
+themselves be free. By free software I do not necessarily mean free in the
+way that Richard Stallman of GNU fame might -- merely that distributions
+be without cost. "Derivatives" shall constitute distributions with code
+added or removed from the base distribution, or distributions that are
+signficantly based on the source code (though may not necessarily include
+the source code itself), in the Author's sole judgement. This means a C port
+of HTTPi is still a derivative, or a Win32 version, or whatever. You do not
+have to provide source code, which is a deviation from GPL.
+
+You MAY NOT:
+
+	* make changes and slap your copyright on the entire package. Your
+	  copyright extends only to the changes you've made. My copyright,
+	  and any copyrights asserted by HTTPi's contributors, remain.
+
+	* supersede the license agreement here. You may not charge a fee for a
+	  HTTPi distribution, for example. Derivatives count as distributions.
+	  This license agreement, therefore, applies IN FULL to any
+	  distribution or derivative work.
+
+	  The exception: you MAY include HTTPi as part of an operating system
+	  distribution and sell that. Linux dists and FreeBSD dists are okay,
+	  for example.
+
+	  You also MAY NOT place your derivative work under GPL, because that
+	  is a different, though similar, licensing agreement, and the
+	  License here does reflect constraints that are mutually exclusive.
+
+	* make a distribution of HTTPi that does not include ALL files,
+	  including this license, and ONLY these files. If not, it is a
+	  derivative work, and you may NOT call it an official distribution.
+
+	* make or distribute a distribution of HTTPi that does not clearly
+	  state the copyright (i.e.
+
+Contains or is based on the HTTPi web server
+(C)1998-2001 Cameron Kaiser. All rights reserved.
+http://httpi.floodgap.com/
+
+	  would be just about perfect), or make or distribute a derivative of
+	  HTTPi that does not clearly state the copyright.
+
+You MUST:
+
+	* copyright your derivative works. You may not make them public domain.
+
+	* include this LICENSE agreement in any and all derivative
+	  works you create, as either a separate file or part of your
+	  non-mutually exclusive license (that is, does not conflict
+	  with these terms).
+
+	* absolve the programmers of HTTPi (including yours truly :-) and
+	  any contributors) of any liability, real or imagined, and certify
+	  that you are using this program AT YOUR OWN RISK. While the
+	  programmers shall endeavour to make HTTPi as bug-free as possible,
+	  entomological phenomena can and do occur. Such is life.
+
+	  If you make a derivative work of HTTPi, you MAY decide that you
+	  wish to offer warranty support. You may do so, but your doing so
+	  does in no way make me, the programmers of HTTPi, or anyone else
+	  liable for the fulfillment of your warranty, and you and the users
+	  of your derivative work must agree to hold us legally blameless
+	  under ALL circumstances. (Remember, no mutually exclusive license
+	  terms in your derivative works, right?)
+
+Your usage of this program constitutes your binding acceptance of these
+terms. Don't even think about starting HTTPi up on your system if you don't
+agree to follow the terms detailed in this license IN THEIR ENTIRETY. Don't
+even think about modifying it, patching it or distributing it if you don't,
+either. Exceptions to these restrictions must be obtained from me, the
+copyright holder, IN WRITING.
+
+I reserve the right to interpret this document, and I also reserve the right
+to make license changes without notice effective on issue date. All legal
+issues shall be dealt with in accordance with the State of California, United
+States of America.
+
+Other than that, have a blast! Keep software free.
