+This program and object code is being provided to "you", the licensee,
+by Thierry Dutoit, the "author", under the following license, which
+applies to any program, object code or other work which contains a
+notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed
+under the terms of this license. The "program", below, refers to any
+such program, object code or work.
+
+By obtaining, using and/or copying this program, you agree that you
+have read, understood, and will comply with these terms and
+conditions:
+
+Terms and conditions for the distribution of the program
+--------------------------------------------------------
+
+This program may not be sold or incorporated into any product which is
+sold without prior permission from the author.
+
+When no charge is made, this program may be copied and distributed
+freely, provided that this notice is copied and distributed with
+it. Each time you redistribute the program (or any work based on the
+program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the
+original licensor to copy or distribute the program subject to these
+terms and conditions. You may not impose any further restrictions on
+the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein. You are not
+responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to this License.
+
+If you wish to incorporate the program into other free programs whose
+distribution conditions are different, write to the author to ask for
+permission.
+
+If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent
+infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues),
+conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
+otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this license, they do not
+excuse you from the conditions of this license. If you cannot
+distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this
+license and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you
+may not distribute the program at all. For example, if a patent
+license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the program by
+all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then
+the only way you could satisfy both it and this license would be to
+refrain entirely from distribution of the program.
+
+Terms and conditions on the use of the program

+non-military purposes, with and only with the voice and language
