This directory contains the UNITS Management Framework.

The UNITS Framework is free software.  See the file COPYING for

copying permission. See the file INSTALL for installation instructions.

UNITS was developed at Enbridge Pipelines Inc. by Perry Kundert,

but is based virtually verbatim on the fine work of Christopher Rettig ([email protected]). His original units management template is included right in this distribution, unmodified, as a community service, in the file "units_t.h". You may even wish to use his implementation, instead of mine!

Therefore, all parts of this UNITS framework package, except the

"units_t.h" file, are distributed under the GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE. Christopher Retig's original "units_t.h" file is, of course, distributed under its original license (as stated in the file). Its license also states that it may be "used for any legal purpose", and since the GPL is legal, I am hereby redistributing his code, as modified by me, under the GPL, with the "special exception" provision taken directly from the GNU GCC distribution which allows for the use of the C++ templates, macros and inline functions provided in this distribution within non-GPL C++ code. Please forward any questions, suggestions or patches to [email protected], or [email protected].
