+
+Permission is granted to anyone to use this software for any purpose,
+including commercial applications, and to alter it and redistribute it
+freely, subject to the above disclaimer and the following restrictions:
+
+    1. Redistributions of source code (in whole or in part) must retain
+       the above copyright notice, definition, disclaimer, and this list
+       of conditions.
+
+    2. Redistributions in binary form (compiled executables and libraries)
+       must reproduce the above copyright notice, definition, disclaimer,
+       and this list of conditions in documentation and/or other materials
+       provided with the distribution.  The sole exception to this condition
+       is redistribution of a standard UnZipSFX binary (including SFXWiz) as
+       part of a self-extracting archive; that is permitted without inclusion
+       of this license, as long as the normal SFX banner has not been removed
+       from the binary or disabled.
+
+    3. Altered versions--including, but not limited to, ports to new operating
+       systems, existing ports with new graphical interfaces, versions with
+       modified or added functionality, and dynamic, shared, or static library
+       versions not from Info-ZIP--must be plainly marked as such and must not
+       be misrepresented as being the original source or, if binaries,
+       compiled from the original source.  Such altered versions also must not
+       be misrepresented as being Info-ZIP releases--including, but not
+       limited to, labeling of the altered versions with the names "Info-ZIP"
+       (or any variation thereof, including, but not limited to, different
+       capitalizations), "Pocket UnZip," "WiZ" or "MacZip" without the
+       explicit permission of Info-ZIP.  Such altered versions are further
+       prohibited from misrepresentative use of the Zip-Bugs or Info-ZIP
+       e-mail addresses or the Info-ZIP URL(s), such as to imply Info-ZIP
+       will provide support for the altered versions.
+
+    4. Info-ZIP retains the right to use the names "Info-ZIP," "Zip," "UnZip,"
+       "UnZipSFX," "WiZ," "Pocket UnZip," "Pocket Zip," and "MacZip" for its
+       own source and binary releases.
