+override the guidelines given in the COPYING file.
+
+Most of the content of the Lynx release (and corresponding copyright) is
+the work of developers on the lynx-dev mailing list, who have agreed to
+distribute their work under the terms and conditions of the GNU General
+Public License (Version 2). Note that the License text after the terms
+and conditions is advisory in nature, and contains neither terms nor
+conditions. You may choose to follow that advice.
+
+The copyright owners and developers for Lynx grant their express
+permission for using any version of these common libraries (which are
+known to have problematic licensing issues) with any operating system or
+platform, regardless of the manner in which the libraries are
+connected to the Lynx program:
+
+ GNUTLS
+
+ libbsd http://libbsd.freedesktop.org/releases/
+
+ libidn
+
+ OpenSSL http://www.openssl.org
+
+Additionally, the developers understand that these additional libraries
+have no licensing issues. Permission is in any case granted to use Lynx
+without restriction for these as well:

+
+ libiconv

+
+ nss_compat_ossl http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Nss_compat_ossl
+
+ zlib http://www.gzip.org/zlib/
+
+The list given is by no means exhaustive and may not be interpreted to
+limit the set of libraries with which Lynx can be used.
+
+The granted right to "use" (besides the obvious ability to run the
+program as a user) covers all development activities such as of building,
+modifying, distributing modified versions.
+
+Any licensing questions should be directed to the mailing list:
