Sphinx has been ported to a small number of platforms and we encourage anyone
to port our freely distributed source code to other platforms, and use Sphinx
inhouse.

If those who port Sphinx send us diffs, we are willing to distribute these
changes with the Sphinx kit.  Distribution of this software is authorized
only if no profit or remuneration of any kind is received in exchange for
such distribution.  Commercial distribution is still an open question which
needs to be discussed with us.
