From my README file for "rn."

			Rn Kit, Version 4.3

		    Copyright (c) 1985, Larry Wall

You may copy the rn kit in whole or in part as long as you don't try to
make money off it, or pretend that you wrote it.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Other than the part I added about wanting to have the power to remove the
group from sites where people are trying to libel me and ruin my life, this
is essentially the same thing I am saying.  (The other difference, a
compilation copyright vs. a software copyright.)


I hope you will now all denounce this evil "rn" program and refuse to
forward it or use it until this viscious, restrictive copyright licence
is removed.  8-)

And thank you, Larry, for a great piece of software and a fine contribution
to the net.
