This is the Debian/GNU Linux prepackaged version of the `strn' scanning
threaded newsreader by Wayne Davison, Larry Wall and Stan Barber.

This package was put together by me, Charles Briscoe-Smith
<cpbs@debian.org>, using sources obtained from
<ftp://unix.hensa.ac.uk/mirrors/uunet/networking/news/readers/trn/strn/strn/strn092.tar.gz>
and Jon Rabone's <jkr@debian.org> patch file for the Debian package of
trn, version 3.6-9, some of the contents of which are due to Ian Jackson
<ijackson@gnu.ai.mit.edu>, the original Debian maintainer of trn.

Strn is based on trn, which in turn is based on rn.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Many source files in strn are:

  This file Copyright 1992 by Clifford A. Adams

or

  This file Copyright 1992,1993 by Clifford A. Adams

There appears to be no licence associated with those copyright notices.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

The README file contains the following:

                          Trn Kit, Version 3.4

                    Copyright (c) 1993, Wayne Davison

                        Based on rn, Version 4.4

                     Copyright (c) 1985, Larry Wall
                     Copyright (c) 1991, Stan Barber

You may copy the trn kit in whole or in part as long as you don't try to
make money off it, or pretend that you wrote it.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Many files in strn contain this notice:

  This software is Copyright 1991 by Stan Barber.

  Permission is hereby granted to copy, reproduce, redistribute or
  otherwise use this software as long as: there is no monetary profit
  gained specifically from the use or reproduction of this software, it
  is not sold, rented, traded or otherwise marketed, and this copyright
  notice is included prominently in any copy made.

  The authors make no claims as to the fitness or correctness of this
  software for any use whatsoever, and it is provided as is. Any use of
  this software is at the user's own risk.

Ian Jackson, former Debian trn maintainer, says:

  I contacted Stan Barber, Wayne Davison and Larry Wall to ask for
  clarification of this.  Stan Barber replied:
      This intent of the copyright is not to INCREASE the cost of a
      CD-ROM distribution just because *rn was added. Put another way, if
      you had a CD-ROM at $100 and added *rn and changed the cost to $110
      just because you added *rn, that would violate the intent of the
      copyright.
  and Wayne Davison agreed.

Some files only contain the last paragraph of the above notice.

Several files contain no copyright notice or licence at all.

Speller.SH contains this notice:

parsedate.y contains this notice:

  Originally written by Steven M. Bellovin <smb@research.att.com> while
  at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.  Later tweaked by
  a couple of people on Usenet.  Completely overhauled by Rich $alz
  <rsalz@osf.org> and Jim Berets <jberets@bbn.com> in August, 1990.
  Further revised (removed obsolete constructs and cleaned up timezone
  names) in August, 1991, by Rich.  Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
  helped in September, 1992.

  This grammar has six shift/reduce conflicts.

  This code is in the public domain and has no copyright.

In the precompiled version of strn, bison is used to process parsedate.y,
and its output contains the following notice:

              Copyright (c) 1981,1980 James Gosling

  Modified Aug. 12, 1981 by Tom London to include regular expressions

  mainly dealing with searching within the buffer rather than copying
  each line to a separate array.  Newlines can now appear in RE's

  Ripped to shreds and glued back together to make a search package,
  July 6, 1984, by Larry Wall. (If it doesn't work, it's probably my fault.)
  Changes include:
       Buffer, window, and mlisp stuff gone.
       Translation tables reduced to 1 table.
       Expression buffer is now dynamically allocated.
       Character classes now implemented with a bitmap.
