This means that parts of the sources originally derive from
Numerical Recipes (indicated in the sources).  However, I think
that the code is suffiently modified as not be be generic
NR code.  In addition, we are not making money with the program,
so probably the whole source can be considered GPL.  On the
other hand, I have not asked NR and I am not a lawyer.  For that
reason the GPL licence covers only part of the sources.
