   Note: This license agreement was shamefully stolen (with the
   permission of the authors) from the license agreement of the Netwide
   Assembler (NASM). Kudos to:

   It has been modified slightly (and I am the author of clause number
   X), but still has the original flavor.
   
The purpose of this license
     _________________________________________________________________
   
   I wrote this program for many reasons, one main reason was to do some
   good. One thing that I feel is very important is helping the
   environment. Thus, if you use this program and do make money off of
   it, I would prefer that you donate money to an environmental charity.
   The world is too fragile of a place for us to just let 'the other guy'
   deal with such problems. We all live here, let's keep it clean!
   
   Now that I have done my rant...
   
Can I have the gist without reading the legalese?
     _________________________________________________________________
   
   Basically, amc is free. You can't charge for it. You can copy it as
   much as you like. You can incorporate it, or bits of it, into other
   free programs if you want. (But we want to know about it if you do,
   and we want to be mentioned in the credits.) We may well allow you to
   incorporate it into commercial software too, but we'll probably demand
   that some money be donated to an environmental cause for it, and we'll
   certainly demand to be given credit. And in extreme cases (although I
   can't immediately think of a reason we might actually want to do this)
   we may refuse to let you do it at all.
   
                             AMC LICENCE AGREEMENT
     _________________________________________________________________
   
   By "the Software" this licence refers to the complete contents of the
   AMC archive, excluding this licence document itself.
   
   I. The Software is freely redistributable; anyone may copy the
   Software, or parts of the Software, and give away as many copies as
   they like to anyone, as long as this licence document is kept with the
   Software. Charging a fee for the Software is prohibited, although a
   fee may be charged for the act of transferring a copy, and you can
   offer warranty protection and charge a fee for that.
   
   II. The Software, or parts thereof, may be incorporated into other
   freely redistributable software (by which we mean software that may be
   obtained free of charge) without requiring permission from the
   authors, as long as due credit is given to the authors of the Software
   in the resulting work, as long as the authors are informed of this
   action if possible, and as long as those parts of the Software that
   are used remain under this licence.
   
   III. Modified forms of the Software may be created and distributed as
   long as the authors are informed of this action if possible, as long
   as the resulting work remains under this licence, as long as the
   modified form of the Software is distributed with documentation which
   still gives credit to the original authors of the Software, and as
   long as the modified form of the Software is distributed with a clear
   statement that it is not the original form of the Software in the form
   that it was distributed by the authors.
   
   IV. The Software, or parts thereof, may be incorporated into other
   software which is not freely redistributable (i.e. software for which
   a fee is charged), as long as permission is granted from the authors
   of the Software. The authors reserve the right to grant this
   permission only for a fee, which may at our option take the form of
   royalty payments or demand a donation to an environmental cause. The
   authors also reserve the right to refuse to grant permission if they
   deem it necessary.
   
   V. The Software may be incorporated, in its original archive form,
   into software collections or archives which are not freely
   redistributable, as long as it is clearly stated that the Software
   itself remains freely redistributable and remains under this licence
   and no other. Such collections are deemed not to fall under article IV
   of this licence.
   
   VI. Output source code generated by the Software as output does not
   fall under this licence at all, and may be placed under any licence
   the author wishes. The authors explicitly lay no claim to, and assert
   no rights over, any programs written by other people and processed
   and/or compiled by the Software.
   
   VII. You may not copy, modify or distribute the Software except under
   the terms given in this licence document. You may not sublicense the
   Software or in any way place it under any other licence than this one.
   Since you have not signed this licence, you are not of course required
   to accept it; however, no other licence applies to the Software, and
   nothing else grants you any permission to copy, modify, sublicense or
   distribute the Software in any way. These actions are therefore
   prohibited if you do not accept this licence.
   
   VIII. There is no warranty for the Software, to the extent permitted
   by applicable law. The authors provide the Software "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 the Software is with you. Should the Software prove defective, you
   assume the cost of all necessary servicing, repair, legal defense,
   punishment, damages or correction.
   
   IX. In no event, unless required by applicable law or agreed to in
   writing, will any of the authors be liable to you for damages,
   including any general, special, incidental or consequential damages,
   arising out of the use or the inability to use the Software, including
   but not limited to loss of data or data being rendered inaccurate or a
   failure of the Software to operate with any other programs, even if
   you have been advised of the possibility of such damages.
   
   X. In no way shall this software be ported to any Microsoft operating
   system or product. This includes but is not limited to any version of
   the Windows or Windows NT operating systems and Microsoft Developer
   Studio.
