+This is `linuxdoc-tools', a series of tools to implement the Linux
+Documentation Project HOWTO and book styles in SGML.
+
+This copy was modified in order to work with birddoc DTD. It is
+based on version 0.9.73-2 from Debian 10.
+
+
+----------------------------------
+ The linuxdoc-tools license
+----------------------------------
+
+linuxdoc-tools is derived from linuxdoc-SGML, originally written by
+Matt Welsh and later maintained by Cees de Groot. Linuxdoc-SGML is
+based on James Clark's sgmls parser, and the QWERTZ DTD by Tom
+Gordon. Magnus Alvestad provided the current HTML support. For
+the rest of linuxdoc-SGML,
+
+ Copyright (C) 1994-1996 Matt Welsh <mdw@cs.cornell.edu>
+ Copyright (C) 1996-1998 Cees de Groot <cg@pobox.com>
+
+Original Linuxdoc-SGML itself does not have any limitations.
+Everything not having explicit additional conditions can be freely
+used, modified, and redistributed, under the usual fair use clauses:
+
+ * No warranty. Use at your own risk.
+ * Do not pretend to have written what you did not (Preserve credits
+ and Copyright notices of the different elements if present).
+
+Since then, lots of smaller and bigger changes resulted in a rename
+to SGML-Tools (and then to SGMLtools, the hyphen caused confusion)
+to indicate that it wasn't just for Linux anymore. See files
+CHANGES.old-v1 and CONTRIBUTORS.old-v1 for changelog and list of
+contributors to old linuxdoc-sgml and sgmltools-v1.
+
+When sgml-tools dropped support for the linuxdoc DTD, Taketoshi Sano
+<sano@debian.org> forked the code to linuxdoc-tools. See README file.
