+The giftware license
+
+Allegro is gift-ware. It was created by a number of people working in
+cooperation, and is given to you freely as a gift. You may use,
+modify, redistribute, and generally hack it about in any way you like,
+and you do not have to give us anything in return.
+
+However, if you like this product you are encouraged to thank us by
+making a return gift to the Allegro community. This could be by
+writing an add-on package, providing a useful bug report, making an
+improvement to the library, or perhaps just releasing the sources of
+your program so that other people can learn from them. If you
+redistribute parts of this code or make a game using it, it would be
+nice if you mentioned Allegro somewhere in the credits, but you are
+not required to do this. We trust you not to abuse our generosity.
