+This file may be freely copied and distributed, provided that
+no changes whatsoever are made. All users are asked to help keep
+the MMIXware files consistent and ``uncorrupted,''
+identical everywhere in the world. Changes are permissible only
+if the modified file is given a new name, different from the names of
+existing files in the MMIXware package,
+and only if the modified file is clearly identified
+as not being part of that package.
+(The CWEB system has a ``change file'' facility by
+which users can easily make minor alterations without modifying
+the master source files in any way. Everybody is supposed to use
+change files instead of changing the files.)
+The author has tried his best to produce correct and useful programs,
+in order to help promote computer science research,
+but no warranty of any kind should be assumed.
