GTKeyboard is Free Software; you may distribute it under the terms of the
GNU General Public License which is available in the COPYING file or at
http://www.gnu.org/

NOTE:  For versions after and including 1.0, please read the MANUAL.html
file for changes to some resource file syntax.

GTKeyboard is an application meant to help users with physical
disabilities who may be unable to use the keyboard all the time to
type text using a graphically laid out keyboard.  It is also used by
people who are simply a little bit lazy.  :)  It was originally
written for GNU/Linux, although I am willing to work with people to
get it to compile and run on other UNIXen.  It has been known to
compile on some configurations of Solaris, HP/UX, and IRIX.

If you're interested in finding out what's new, a fairly exhaustive list
of changes is kept for the program in the file ChangeLog that comes with
the source distribution.  (May or may not be in binary packages)

Since GTKeyboard is released under the GNU General Public License, you can
freely copy, distribute, modify, shred, spindle, and mutilate copies in any
medium.  However, if you include GTKeyboard in a CD with other software,
I would appreciate a copy of that CD gratis.  You of course aren't bound to
do this, but it would be Pretty Damn Nifty (tm) in my opinion.

If you would like to know how to build and install GTKeyboard, please see
the INSTALL file.  If you want to know how to use GTKeyboard, please read
the file MANUAL.  (The text version is no longer updated, also try
MANUAL.html)  The manual is where almost all the good stuff is.  There
are several features in gtkeyboard which are not necessarily trivial
to figure out.  Please read the manual for instructions on configuring
things correctly.

GTKeyboard should be considered experimental software.  Not that you
would, but please don't type your master thesis using this program
because it has not been heavily tested.  It is provided free of charge
in the hope that it is useful, but since it is covered under the terms
of the GNU General Public License, it has no warranty whatsoever.
This means that if you click save, and instead of your note to your
girlfriend, the program pens a filthy novel in Russian (and then sends
it to the UN security council), I am not responsible.  I would like to
hear about bugs like that though.  :)  It also means that if the
application breaks, you are entitled to both pieces.  Finally, unless you
are masochist, do NOT make gtkeyboard setuid or setgid
anything. Setuid/sgid GTKeyboard, along with any other application not
specifically designed for it, is a really bad idea.
