This package was debianized by Lenart Janos on Sun, 21 Oct 2001 12:21:27 +0200. It's in Debian for a long time before this, becouse Andy Mortimer was not only the upstream but the Debian maintainer of birthday as well. The description and the changelog was took from the old package. It was downloaded from: http://users.zetnet.co.uk/mortia/source/birthday-1.5.tar.gz Upstream Author: Andy Mortimer Copyright: Birthday (c) 1994-1999 Andy Mortimer This program is free software. You may use it under either the Artistic license or the GNU General Public License version 2 or above, at your option. Both of these licenses are reproduced below. On Windows, you will need some extra code (getopt, which in turn requires alloca) to compile. Versions of these routines are provided with the source, but are licensed separately, and you must follow the licensing conditions on this source. In particular, the version of getopt.c included is licensed under the GPL, so if you use this file you must opt to use birthday under the GPL. If anybody has a less restrictively-licensed version of getopt, I would be glad to include it in future releases. On Debian systems, a copy of the GNU General Public License and a copy of the Artistic license are available in /usr/share/common-licenses/.
