+This is the Debian GNU/Linux package debianutils.
+
+It is an original Debian package.  Programs in it were maintained by 
+Guy Maor <maor at debian.org>, and are now maintained by Clint Adams 
+<schizo at debian.org>.
+
+All its programs except readlink, savelog, and which may be 
+redistributed under the terms of the GNU GPL, Version 2 or later, found 
+on Debian systems in the file /usr/share/common-licenses/GPL.
+
+which is in the public domain.

+readlink is Copyright (c) 1997 Kenneth Stailey, and may also be

+		     SMAIL GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
+		       (Clarified 11 Feb 1988)
+
+ Copyright (C)  1988 Landon Curt Noll & Ronald S. Karr Copyright (C)  
+ 1992 Ronald S. Karr Copyleft (GNU) 1988 Landon Curt Noll & Ronald S. 
+ Karr
+
+ Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this 
+ license, but changing it is not allowed.  You can also use this 
+ wording to make the terms for other programs.
+
+  The license agreements of most software companies keep you at the 
+mercy of those companies.  By contrast, our general public license is 
+intended to give everyone the right to share SMAIL.  To make sure that 
+you get the rights we want you to have, we need to make restrictions 
+that forbid anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender 
+the rights.  Hence this license agreement.
+
+  Specifically, we want to make sure that you have the right to give 
+away copies of SMAIL, that you receive source code or else can get it 
+if you want it, that you can change SMAIL or use pieces of it in new 
+free programs, and that you know you can do these things.
+
+  To make sure that everyone has such rights, we have to forbid you to 
+deprive anyone else of these rights.  For example, if you distribute 
+copies of SMAIL, you must give the recipients all the rights that you 
+have.  You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the source 
+code.  And you must tell them their rights.
+
+  Also, for our own protection, we must make certain that everyone 
+finds out that there is no warranty for SMAIL.  If SMAIL is modified by 
+someone else and passed on, we want its recipients to know that what 
+they have is not what we distributed, so that any problems introduced 
+by others will not reflect on our reputation.
+
+  Therefore we (Landon Curt Noll and Ronald S. Karr) make the following 
+terms which say what you must do to be allowed to distribute or change 
+SMAIL.
+
+
+			COPYING POLICIES
+
+  1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of SMAIL source code 
+as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and 
+appropriately publish on each copy a valid copyright notice "Copyright
+(C) 1988 Landon Curt Noll & Ronald S. Karr" (or with whatever year is 
+appropriate); keep intact the notices on all files that refer to this 
+License Agreement and to the absence of any warranty; and give any 
+other recipients of the SMAIL program a copy of this License Agreement 
+along with the program.  You may charge a distribution fee for the 
+physical act of transferring a copy.
+
+  2. You may modify your copy or copies of SMAIL or any portion of it, 
+and copy and distribute such modifications under the terms of Paragraph 
+1 above, provided that you also do the following:
+
+    a) cause the modified files to carry prominent notices stating
+    that you changed the files and the date of any change; and
+
+    b) cause the whole of any work that you distribute or publish,
+    that in whole or in part contains or is a derivative of SMAIL or
+    any part thereof, to be licensed at no charge to all third
+    parties on terms identical to those contained in this License
+    Agreement (except that you may choose to grant more extensive
+    warranty protection to some or all third parties, at your option).
+
+    c) You may charge a distribution fee for the physical act of
+    transferring a copy, and you may at your option offer warranty
+    protection in exchange for a fee.
+
+Mere aggregation of another unrelated program with this program (or its
+derivative) on a volume of a storage or distribution medium does not 
+bring the other program under the scope of these terms.
+
+  3. You may copy and distribute SMAIL (or a portion or derivative of 
+it, under Paragraph 2) in object code or executable form under the 
+terms of Paragraphs 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following:
+
+    a) accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable
+    source code, which must be distributed under the terms of
+    Paragraphs 1 and 2 above; or,
+
+    b) accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three
+    years, to give any third party free (except for a nominal
+    shipping charge) a complete machine-readable copy of the
+    corresponding source code, to be distributed under the terms of
+    Paragraphs 1 and 2 above; or,
+
+    c) accompany it with the information you received as to where the
+    corresponding source code may be obtained.  (This alternative is
+    allowed only for non-commercial distribution and only if you
+    received the program in object code or executable form alone.)
+
+For an executable file, complete source code means all the source code 
+for all modules it contains; but, as a special exception, it need not 
+include source code for modules which are standard libraries that 
+accompany the operating system on which the executable file runs.
+
+  4. You may not copy, sublicense, distribute or transfer SMAIL except 
+as expressly provided under this License Agreement.  Any attempt 
+otherwise to copy, sublicense, distribute or transfer SMAIL is void and 
+your rights to use the program under this License agreement shall be 
+automatically terminated.  However, parties who have received computer 
+software programs from you with this License Agreement will not have 
+their licenses terminated so long as such parties remain in full compliance.
+
+  5. If you wish to incorporate parts of SMAIL into other free programs 
+whose distribution conditions are different, write to Landon Curt Noll 
+& Ronald S. Karr via the Free Software Foundation at 51 Franklin St, 
+Fifth Floor, Boston, MA 02110-1301, USA.  We have not yet worked out a 
+simple rule that can be stated here, but we will often permit this.  We 
+will be guided by the two goals of preserving the free status of all 
+derivatives of our free software and of promoting the sharing and reuse 
+of software.
+
+Your comments and suggestions about our licensing policies and our 
+software are welcome!  This contract was based on the contract made by 
+the Free Software Foundation.  Please contact the Free Software 
+Foundation, Inc., 51 Franklin St, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA 02110-1301, 
+USA, or call (617) 542-5942 for details on copylefted material in 
+general.
+
+		       NO WARRANTY
+
+  BECAUSE SMAIL IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, WE PROVIDE ABSOLUTELY NO 
+WARRANTY, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE STATE LAW.  EXCEPT WHEN 
+OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING, LANDON CURT NOLL & RONALD S. KARR AND/OR 
+OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE SMAIL "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, 
+EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED 
+WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
+THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF SMAIL IS WITH YOU.  
+SHOULD SMAIL PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY 
+SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
+
+  IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW WILL LANDON CURT NOLL & 
+RONALD S. KARR AND/OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND REDISTRIBUTE 
+SMAIL AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY 
+LOST PROFITS, LOST MONIES, OR OTHER SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR 
+CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE 
+(INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED 
+INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE 
+PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER PROGRAMS) SMAIL, EVEN IF YOU HAVE 
+BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY CLAIM BY 
+ANY OTHER PARTY.
