However, the development of Wget could never have gone as far as it has, were
it not for the help of many people, either with bug reports, feature proposals,
Apologies to all who I accidentally left out, and many thanks to all the

-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:

-GNU Wget is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, but WITHOUT
-ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of MERCHANTABILITY or

-@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.
