7This documents purpose is to state the conditions under which these
8Packages (See definition below) viz: "Crack", the Unix Password Cracker,
9and "CrackLib", the Unix Password Checking library, which are held in
10copyright by Alec David Edward Muffett, may be copied, such that the
11copyright holder maintains some semblance of artistic control over the
12development of the packages, while giving the users of the package the
13right to use and distribute the Package in a more-or-less customary
14fashion, plus the right to make reasonable modifications. 
15
16So there.
