-This Inferno® distribution includes software from various sources and
-different portions are therefore subject to different licence terms.
-
-You may copy and redistribute the package as a whole,
-with or without modification, subject to the terms of the Vita Nuova
-Liberal Source Licence (see the file LICENCE), which applies to the
-package as a whole, and to individual components unless otherwise
-specified either in an individual source file or in a NOTICE file
-in a directory or directory tree.  If the terms of that licence are not acceptable,
-you must negotiate other terms with Vita Nuova (www.vitanuova.com).
-
-Individual components (eg, some of the libraries, Freetype, and the
-B&H fonts) might have their own NOTICE and licence files (LICENCE or
-COPYING) that cover their content.  Be sure to read them before
-considering redistribution of them on their own.
-With the exception of the B&H font licence, each is typically
-some variety of Free Software licence.
-
-Where a given section of source code is distributed elsewhere (as a separable component) under
-another licence or licences, and we include it here as well under ours, you can obviously
-regard it as subject to whichever licence you like.
-
-When making non-trivial extracts, or your own modifications, you must
-retain the copyright of the original source file or files (either that
-present in the file or in a NOTICE file covering the directory or
-directories in which the file resides).
-
-The following copyright notice covers the contents of this
-distribution unless otherwise specified by a given file, directory, or
