-GNU Wget is licensed under the GNU General Public License (GNU GPL),
-which makes it @dfn{free software}. Please note that ``free'' in ``free
-software'' refers to liberty, not price. As some people like to point
-out, it's the ``free'' of ``free speech'', not the ``free'' of ``free
-beer''.
-
-The exact and legally binding distribution terms are spelled out below.
-The GPL guarantees that you have the right (freedom) to run and change
-GNU Wget and distribute it to others, and even---if you want---charge
-money for doing any of those things. With these rights comes the
-obligation to distribute the source code along with the software and to
-grant your recipients the same rights and impose the same restrictions.
-
-This licensing model is also known as @dfn{open source} because it,
-among other things, makes sure that all recipients will receive the
-source code along with the program, and be able to improve it. The GNU
-project prefers the term ``free software'' for reasons outlined at
-@url{http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-software-for-freedom.html}.
-
-The exact license terms are defined by this paragraph and the GNU
-General Public License it refers to:

-@c #### Maybe we should wrap these licenses in ifinfo? Stallman says
-@c that the GFDL needs to be present in the manual, and to me it would
-@c suck to include the license for the manual and not the license for
-@c the program.
