+This is the Debian GNU/Linux prepackaged version of the GNU groff
+document formatting system.
+GNU groff was written by James Clark <jjc@jclark.com>.
+
+This Debian package was previously maintained by Fabrizio Polacco
+<fpolacco@debian.org>.
+It is now maintained by Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>.
+
+The original tarball came from <URL:ftp://groff.ffii.org/pub/groff/>:
+ 48fa768dd6fdeb7968041dd5ae8e2b02 groff-1.20.1.tar.gz
+and was simply renamed to groff_1.20.1.orig.tar.gz.
+
+Some patches have been applied to groff outside the debian directory.
+
+The Debian diff also appends /usr/share/groff/tmac to the default macro path
+for compatibility with versions of groff earlier than 1.17 (patch by Colin
+Watson).

+The groff manual is also distributed under the terms of the GNU Free
+Documentation License version 1.3. On Debian systems, this is available in
+/usr/share/common-licenses/GFDL-1.3 as part of the base-files package.
+However, Debian does not consider this free when the Front-Cover Texts or
+Back-Cover Texts options are used. groff is distributed with a LICENSES
+file containing the following text (excerpted):
+
+ The groff program is a free software project. It is licensed under the GNU
+ General Public License (GNU GPL), version 3 or later.
+
+ The file COPYING in the top directory of the groff source package contains a
+ copy of the GPL that was downloaded from the GNU web site
+ http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/gpl.txt at 3 jan 2009.
+
+ All files part of groff are licensed under this version of the GPL (or
+ licenses which are compatible with the GPL). You are free to choose
+ version 3 or any subsequent version of the GPL.
+
+I e-mailed the upstream maintainer to clarify the intent of this. Here is
+the relevant part of the reply:
+
+ From: Werner LEMBERG <wl@gnu.org>

+
+ Sigh. I haven't found time to revert the FDL stuff back to GPL. It
+ basically affects only Bernd Warken and me, and we have both agreed to
+ return to GPL in case FDL makes problems.
+
+(Note that this e-mail predates the current wording in LICENSES.)
+
+It is therefore my understanding that the copyright holders of the groff
+documentation intend it to be distributable under the terms of the GPL
+version 3 or later. The reference above to the FDL text in
+/usr/share/common-licenses/ is for information only.
+
+=========================================================================
+
+The following material is based on that in the groff LICENSES file, which
+itself is licensed as follows:
