+VIM LICENSE
+
+I) There are no restrictions on distributing unmodified copies of [project]
+ except that they must include this license text. You can also distribute
+ unmodified parts of [project], likewise unrestricted except that they must
+ include this license text. You are also allowed to include executables
+ that you made from the unmodified [project] sources, plus your own usage
+ examples and Vim scripts.
+
+II) It is allowed to distribute a modified (or extended) version of [project],
+ including executables and/or source code, when the following four
+ conditions are met:
+ 1) This license text must be included unmodified.
+ 2) The modified [project] must be distributed in one of the following five
+ ways:
+ a) If you make changes to [project] yourself, you must clearly describe
+ in the distribution how to contact you. When the maintainer asks
+ you (in any way) for a copy of the modified [project] you
+ distributed, you must make your changes, including source code,
+ available to the maintainer without fee. The maintainer reserves
+ the right to include your changes in the official version of
+ [project]. What the maintainer will do with your changes and under
+ what license they will be distributed is negotiable. If there has
+ been no negotiation then this license, or a later version, also
+ applies to your changes. The current maintainer is Bram Moolenaar
+ <Bram@vim.org>. If this changes it will be announced in appropriate
+ places (most likely vim.sf.net, www.vim.org and/or comp.editors).
+ When it is completely impossible to contact the maintainer, the
+ obligation to send him your changes ceases. Once the maintainer has
+ confirmed that he has received your changes they will not have to be
+ sent again.
+ b) If you have received a modified [project] that was distributed as
+ mentioned under a) you are allowed to further distribute it
+ unmodified, as mentioned at I). If you make additional changes the
+ text under a) applies to those changes.
+ c) Provide all the changes, including source code, with every copy of
+ the modified [project] you distribute. This may be done in the form
+ of a context diff. You can choose what license to use for new code
+ you add. The changes and their license must not restrict others
+ from making their own changes to the official version of [project].
+ d) When you have a modified [project] which includes changes as
+ mentioned under c), you can distribute it without the source code
+ for the changes if the following three conditions are met:
+ - The license that applies to the changes permits you to distribute
+ the changes to the Vim maintainer without fee or restriction, and
+ permits the Vim maintainer to include the changes in the official
+ version of [project] without fee or restriction.
+ - You keep the changes for at least three years after last
+ distributing the corresponding modified [project]. When the
+ maintainer or someone who you distributed the modified [project]
+ to asks you (in any way) for the changes within this period, you
+ must make them available to him.
+ - You clearly describe in the distribution how to contact you. This
+ contact information must remain valid for at least three years
+ after last distributing the corresponding modified [project], or
+ as long as possible.
+ e) When the GNU General Public License (GPL) applies to the changes,
+ you can distribute the modified [project] under the GNU GPL version
+ 2 or any later version.
+ 3) A message must be added, at least in the output of the ":version"
+ command and in the intro screen, such that the user of the modified
+ [project] is able to see that it was modified. When distributing as
+ mentioned under 2)e) adding the message is only required for as far as
+ this does not conflict with the license used for the changes.
+ 4) The contact information as required under 2)a) and 2)d) must not be
+ removed or changed, except that the person himself can make
+ corrections.
+
+III) If you distribute a modified version of [project], you are encouraged to
+ use the Vim license for your changes and make them available to the
+ maintainer, including the source code. The preferred way to do this is
+ by e-mail or by uploading the files to a server and e-mailing the URL. If
+ the number of changes is small (e.g., a modified Makefile) e-mailing a
+ context diff will do. The e-mail address to be used is
+ <maintainer@vim.org>
+
+IV) It is not allowed to remove this license from the distribution of the
+ [project] sources, parts of it or from a modified version. You may use
+ this license for previous [project] releases instead of the license that
+ they came with, at your option.
