+About Non-Free Libraries
+------------------------
+This software uses some non-free libraries for which exceptions appear in the
+source code license inserts. It is suggested that anyone who thinks of doing
+substantial further work on this program should first free it from dependence
+on the non-free libraries so that it does the same job without the non-free
+libraries. Further introduction of non-free libraries likely would require a
+revised license and thus permission from all contributors to the codebase.
+That being problematic, any additional non-free libraries are unlikely to be
+accepted by Cyan Worlds or the development community.
