Note: This is a first crack at a general statement of the "legal status" of
empire.  It may probably be changed, or it may not.

----------------------------------------------------
BEGIN LEGAL STUFF:

   Empire is freely available to anyone.  However, you must preserve
and maintain any copyrights or notices by previous, present, or future
authors.  No profit may be made on the empire code in sale or resale
other than charging for the medium of distribution.  Any questions or
changes concerning this must be brought to the full attention of ALL
authors past, present, and future.
