About Non-Free Libraries

This software uses some non-free libraries for which exceptions appear in the source code license inserts. It is suggested that anyone who thinks of doing substantial further work on this program should first free it from dependence on the non-free libraries so that it does the same job without the non-free libraries. Further introduction of non-free libraries likely would require a revised license and thus permission from all contributors to the codebase. That being problematic, any additional non-free libraries are unlikely to be accepted by Cyan Worlds or the development community.
