wimlib (meaning all programs, scripts, libraries, documentation, and other files
that are part of the wimlib project -- not just the "libwim" library) may be
redistributed and/or modified under the terms of the GNU General Public License;
either version 3 of the License, or (at your option) any later version.  A copy
of this license can be found in the file COPYING.GPLv3.

Also, when not prohibited by a third-party software license, libwim (the library
portion of wimlib) may be redistributed and/or modified under the terms of the
GNU Lesser General Public License; either version 3 of the License, or (at your
option) any later version.  A copy of this license can be found in the file
COPYING.LGPLv3.  This is offered as a "dual license", meaning that you can
choose either this LGPLv3+ option or the above-mentioned GPLv3+ option.

In either case there is NO WARRANTY, to the extent permitted by law.

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

NOTE! The reason for the "when not prohibited by a third-party software license"
condition on the LGPL option for libwim is that libwim can optionally be linked
to the third-party library "libntfs-3g", which is licensed under the GPL.
Usually the GPL is interpreted in a way that means that any binary that uses a
GPL library must be licensed under the GPL as well, not (for example) the LGPL.

Therefore, if your build of libwim links to libntfs-3g, then you can't choose
the LGPL option.  You may choose the LGPL option for Windows builds of libwim,
since they don't link to libntfs-3g.  Likewise, you may choose the LGPL option
for UNIX builds of libwim that were built with './configure --without-ntfs-3g'.

NOTE! The file COPYING.CC0 contains a public domain dedication.  This public
domain dedication does not apply to wimlib as a whole, but rather to individual
source code files which the author(s) have elected to place into the public
domain, as noted in the corresponding file headers.  As usual, such code carries
NO WARRANTY, to the extent permitted by law.  See COPYING.CC0 for more details.
