+NOTE: the core parts of this library are under the so-called 2-clause
+BSD style license, which is compatible with this one, but lacks the
+restriction that you must not use the name of the author(s) of those parts
+to endorse any product. So feel free to use the authors name and any

+parts are under the 2-clause BSD license as well.
