  THE HARBOUR PROJECT LIBRARY LICENSE
  ===================================
  Note: This license applies to most of the files in the include directory, source directory, and subdirectories.
  This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by the Free Software Foundation; either version 2, or (at your option) any later version.
  This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. See the GNU General Public License for more details.
  You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License along with this software; see the file COPYING. If not, write to the Free Software Foundation, Inc., 59 Temple Place, Suite 330, Boston, MA 02111-1307 USA (or visit the web site http://www.gnu.org/).
  As a special exception, the Harbour Project gives permission for additional uses of the text contained in its release of Harbour.
  The exception is that, if you link the Harbour libraries with other files to produce an executable, this does not by itself cause the resulting executable to be covered by the GNU General Public License. Your use of that executable is in no way restricted on account of linking the Harbour library code into it.
  This exception does not however invalidate any other reasons why the executable file might be covered by the GNU General Public License.
  This exception applies only to the code released by the Harbour Project under the name Harbour. If you copy code from other Harbour Project or Free Software Foundation releases into a copy of Harbour, as the General Public License permits, the exception does not apply to the code that you add in this way. To avoid misleading anyone as to the status of such modified files, you must delete this exception notice from them.
  If you write modifications of your own for Harbour, it is your choice whether to permit this exception to apply to your modifications. If you do not wish that, delete this exception notice.
  THE OLD HARBOUR PROJECT LIBRARY LICENSE
  =======================================
  Note: This license only applies to the following files:
  <pre> contrib\libmisc\dates2.c (Only the DateTime() function by Jon Berg) samples\pe\* source\rtl\philes.c source\rtl\binnum.c source\lang\msgsr852.c source\lang\msgpl852.c source\lang\msgpliso.c source\lang\msgplmaz.c source\lang\msgeu.c source\lang\msgcsiso.c source\lang\msgcswin.c source\lang\msgcskam.c source\lang\msgsriso.c source\lang\msgde.c source\lang\msghr852.c source\lang\msgcs852.c source\lang\msghriso.c source\lang\msgis850.c </pre>
  This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or (at your option) any later version, with one exception:
  The exception is that if you link the Harbour Runtime Library (HRL) and/or the Harbour Virtual Machine (HVM) with other files to produce an executable, this does not by itself cause the resulting executable to be covered by the GNU General Public License. Your use of that executable is in no way restricted on account of linking the HRL and/or HVM code into it.
  This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. See the GNU General Public License for more details.

  THE HARBOUR PROJECT CONTRIB LICENSE
  ===================================
  There is no one single license that applies to the Harbour Project contrib files. Some files use the Harbour Project Compiler license. Some files use the Harbour Project Library license. Some files use the old Harbour Project Library license (and in one case, just one function in a file that otherwise uses the Harbour Project Library license uses the old license - this is the DateTime() function in the file contrib\libmisc\dates2.c). Some files may even use other types of free software or open source software licenses. Some files have been donated to the public domain. If you use any of the contrib files, you need to investigate the license that applies to each file.
