SREhttp/2: Basic copyright and it's never our fault disclaimer

  Copyright 2000,2001,2002,2003 by Daniel Hellerstein.

Note:
  The copyright/disclaimer for SREhttp/2 is essentially the same as
  that of SRE2003.  


  Permission to use this program for any purpose is hereby granted
  without fee, provided that the author's name not be used in
  advertising or publicity pertaining to distribution of the software
  without specific written prior permision.

  Use of this product, or portions of this product, is subject to the
  following:
     1)  Portions of the code are adapted from other authors' work
         (these are noted where appropriate); if you want to use this
         code for your own purposes,  you'll need to contact these
         other authors for appropriate permissions.

     2)  We, the authors of SREhttp/2  any potentially affiliated
         institutions, disclaim any and all liability for damages due
         to the use, misuse, or failure of the product or subsets of
         the product.

         *   In particular, SREhttp/2 and related products are NOT     *
         *   guaranteed to be secure.                               *

         We do design and code our product with careful attention to potential
         security holes, and and we try to quickly fix any problems (or
         potential problems) that may be discovered. However, SREhttp/2's
         fundamental design precept is "open-source", with security an
         important secondary consideration.

            If you REQUIRE a highly secure web-server, you should
            carefully review and test SREhttp/2. In other words,
            you may need to choose a different server.

  Furthermore you may also charge a reasonable re-distribution fee for
  SREhttp/2; with the understanding that this does not remove the
  work from the public domain and that the above provisos remain in effect.
