 Disclaimer:
- License phrase written in released files is "Free for any use with
- your own risk!" but the copyright holder emailed me that the software
- has been licensed under the same license as Ruby.  The license phrase
- has been changed by debian/patches/010_fix_license in the source
- package.
+ License phrase written in the released file 'LICENSE' is "Free for any
+ use with your own risk!" or Public Domain License but the copyright holder
+ emailed Taku that the software has been licensed under the same license as Ruby.
+ The upstream sources claims in the file 'metadata.yml' that the license
+ is Public Domain License. So, for the moment, we switch to this later one.
