                    166:

                    182: 	  You also MAY NOT place your derivative work under GPL, because that

                    217: 	  does in no way make me, the programmers of HTTPi, or anyone else
                    218: 	  liable for the fulfillment of your warranty, and you and the users
                    219: 	  of your derivative work must agree to hold us legally blameless

                    222: 
                    223: Your usage of this program constitutes your binding acceptance of these
