 A Plat_Forms 2007 source code distribution
============================================
created: Ulrich Strk, 2007-07

This directory tree contains the main source files 
for the solutions delivered in the Plat_Forms 2007 contest.

Refer to www.plat-forms.org for further detail
about the contest as such.

This source code distribution is not complete.
We have decided to leave out all reused files from the
distributions, because if we included them you could
hardly see the forest for the trees in some of the cases.

Even if we _had_ included reused files, you would not easily 
be able to build and execute the software, because the
teams did not include sufficient documentation and 
configuration for that purpose, did hardcode a few things,
and did of course not provide installer scripts or similar
things.
So the source packages are meant for reading the code, not for
executing it.

So we have left out all files that are marked as category
"R" ("reused") in Figure 10.3 of the result report and have 
included only those marked 
RM (reused but modified), 
M (manually written), 
GM (generated, then modified), and 
G (generated).
See the result report for a detailed description of these
categories.

You may use these files under the licence described in the
license files included in each main subtree of this package.
Depending on the team, there is either
- a BSD-style licence (license-BSDstyle.txt)
- a GNU GPL (license-GPLv2.txt)
- or both

We'd be happy if, when you pass on code, you always pass
on the complete original package as it is
(or just refer people to www.plat-forms.org)
