The Autoconf Macro Archive

   Please note that every macro contained in this archive is copyrighted

     Every Autoconf macro presented on this web site is free software;

     As a special exception, the Free Software Foundation gives
     unlimited permission to copy, distribute and modify the configure
     scripts that are the output of Autoconf. You need not follow the
     terms of the GNU General Public License when using or distributing
     such scripts, even though portions of the text of Autoconf appear
     in them. The GNU General Public License (GPL) does govern all other
     use of the material that constitutes the Autoconf program.

     Certain portions of the Autoconf source text are designed to be
     copied (in certain cases, depending on the input) into the output
     of Autoconf. We call these the "data" portions. The rest of the
     Autoconf source text consists of comments plus executable code that
     decides which of the data portions to output in any given case. We
     call these comments and executable code the "non-data" portions.
     Autoconf never copies any of the non-data portions into its output.

     This special exception to the GPL applies to versions of Autoconf
     released by the Free Software Foundation. When you make and
     distribute a modified version of Autoconf, you may extend this
     special exception to the GPL to apply to your modified version as
     well, *unless* your modified version has the potential to copy into
     its output some of the text that was the non-data portion of the
     version that you started with. (In other words, unless your change
     moves or copies text from the non-data portions to the data
     portions.) If your modification has such potential, you must delete
     any notice of this special exception to the GPL from your modified
     version.
