COPYRIGHT
---------

CERNLIB, including GEANT 3.21, is copyright (C) CERN and others.  As of this
writing (1 February 2008), the web page
http://wwwasd.web.cern.ch/wwwasd/cernlib/conditions.html (which gives the terms
under which CERNLIB may be used) states:

  CERNLIB Availability

  (C) Copyright CERN except where explicitly stated otherwise. Permission to
  use and/or redistribute this work is granted under the terms of the GNU
  General Public License. FLUKA routines included in GEANT3 are joint copyright
  of INFN and CERN and are not licensed under the GPL: permission to use and/or
  redistribute outside GEANT3 should be negotiated. The software and
  documentation made available under the terms of this license are provided
  with no warranty.

The aforementioned FLUKA routines have been excised from the GEANT 3.21 source
code and binary packages distributed by Debian.

There is some ambiguity as to whether CERN intended to have CERNLIB available
specifically under GPL version 2 (the current version at the time the above-
mentioned web page was written) or always under the current version.  (The text
"GNU General Public License" in the web page quoted above is a hyperlink to
http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/gpl.html which, as of this writing, references GPL
version 3.)  I have requested clarification from the upstream maintainer.  In
the meantime, it should be noted that the orig.tar.gz files for GEANT 3.21 in
Debian were obtained from the upstream web site prior to the release of GPL
version 3.  It therefore seems to me to be safe to assume that re-distribution
of GEANT 3.21 from the Debian source packages is permissible under the terms
either of GPL version 2 or of the current GPL version, at the re-distributor's
option.

On Debian systems, the complete text of the current version of the GNU General
Public License can be found in the file `/usr/share/common-licenses/GPL-3'.
The text of version 2 can be found at `/usr/share/common-licenses/GPL-2'.
