+<h1> skalibs license </h1>
+
+<h2> Source code </h2>
+
+<p>
+The skalibs source code from skalibs is released under the
+<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISC_license">ISC license</a>,
+the text of which can be found in the COPYING file enclosed in the
+package.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+ The license has been chosen for its simplicity - it's short
+and to the point - and above all its permissivity. There is nothing
+legitimate you should not be able to do with the skalibs code. If
+the license somehow stands in the way, please let me know.
+</p>
+
+<h2> Documentation </h2>
+
+<p>
+ However, the skalibs <em>documentation</em>, which you are currently
+reading, and which is available in the <tt>doc/</tt> subdirectory of
+the official skalibs tarball, is <strong>not</strong> provided under
+the same license.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+ The license for the skalibs documentation is more restrictive than
+the license for the source code. Namely:
+</p>
+
+<ul>
+ <li> The exact same disclaimer applies. </li>
+ <li> You have the right to download, use and modify the documentation. </li>
+ <li> You have the right to distribute <em>unmodified</em> copies of the documentation. </li> 
+ <li> You have the right to distribute <em>modified</em> copies of the documentation,
+provided that:
+  <ul>
+   <li> The contents and links (not necessarily the appearance) of this file,
+<a href="license.html">license.html</a>, are <em>left unmodified</em>; </li>
+   <li> On your documentation's <a href="index.html">main page</a>,
+you explicitly state that the documentation has been modified, and you
+set up a
+<a href="http://skarnet.org/software/skalibs/">link to the original
+skalibs site</a>, explicitly stating that the original software and
+documentation can be found there; </li>
+   <li> The parts of the documentation that you have modified are
+<em>unarguably and undeniably distinguishable</em> from the unmodified parts.
+You can, for instance, use a different text color, different background
+color, or different text font. </li>
+  </ul>
+ </li>
+</ul>
+
+<p>
+ <em>I am aware that the previous restrictions sound completely
+ridiculous while the official skalibs documentation is incomplete.
+As of 2.0.0.0, I'm not going to enforce those restrictions, but if you're
+going to provide documentation for skalibs, don't keep it to yourself,
+please send it to me instead. :-) </em>
