+SUMMARY
+ *iccf* *ICCF*
+Vim is Charityware. You can use and copy it as much as you like, but you are
+encouraged to make a donation for needy children in Uganda. Please see |kcc|
+below or visit the ICCF web site, available at these URLs:
+
+ https://iccf-holland.org/
+ https://www.vim.org/iccf/
+ https://www.iccf.nl/
+
+You can also sponsor the development of Vim. Vim sponsors can vote for
+features. See |sponsor|. The money goes to Uganda anyway.
+
+The Open Publication License applies to the Vim documentation, see
+|manual-copyright|.
+
+=== begin of license ===
+
+VIM LICENSE
+
+I) There are no restrictions on distributing unmodified copies of Vim except
+ that they must include this license text. You can also distribute
+ unmodified parts of Vim, likewise unrestricted except that they must
+ include this license text. You are also allowed to include executables
+ that you made from the unmodified Vim sources, plus your own usage
+ examples and Vim scripts.
+
+II) It is allowed to distribute a modified (or extended) version of Vim,
+ including executables and/or source code, when the following four
+ conditions are met:
+ 1) This license text must be included unmodified.
+ 2) The modified Vim must be distributed in one of the following five ways:
+ a) If you make changes to Vim 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 Vim 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 Vim. 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 Vim 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 Vim 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 Vim.
+ d) When you have a modified Vim 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 Vim without fee or restriction.
+ - You keep the changes for at least three years after last
+ distributing the corresponding modified Vim. When the maintainer
+ or someone who you distributed the modified Vim 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 Vim, or as long
+ as possible.
+ e) When the GNU General Public License (GPL) applies to the changes,
+ you can distribute the modified Vim 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 Vim
+ 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 Vim, 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 Vim
+ sources, parts of it or from a modified version. You may use this
+ license for previous Vim releases instead of the license that they came
+ with, at your option.
+
+=== end of license ===
+
+Note:
+
+- If you are happy with Vim, please express that by reading the rest of this
+ file and consider helping needy children in Uganda.
+
+- If you want to support further Vim development consider becoming a
+ |sponsor|. The money goes to Uganda anyway.
+
+- According to Richard Stallman the Vim license is GNU GPL compatible.
+ A few minor changes have been made since he checked it, but that should not
+ make a difference.
+
+- If you link Vim with a library that goes under the GNU GPL, this limits
+ further distribution to the GNU GPL. Also when you didn't actually change
+ anything in Vim.
+
+- Once a change is included that goes under the GNU GPL, this forces all
+ further changes to also be made under the GNU GPL or a compatible license.
+
+- If you distribute a modified version of Vim, you can include your name and
+ contact information with the "--with-modified-by" configure argument or the
+ MODIFIED_BY define.

+Kibaale Children's Centre *kcc* *Kibaale* *charity*
+
+Kibaale Children's Centre (KCC) is located in Kibaale, a small town in the
+south of Uganda, near Tanzania, in East Africa. The area is known as Rakai
+District. The population is mostly farmers. Although people are poor, there
+usually is enough food. But this district is suffering from AIDS more than
+any other part of the world. Some say that it started there. Estimations are
+that in the past 10 to 30% of the Ugandans are infected with HIV. Because
+parents die, there are many orphans. In this district about 60,000 children
+have lost one or both parents, out of a population of 350,000. Although AIDS
+is now mostly under control, the problems are still continuing.
+
+The children need a lot of help. The KCC is working hard to provide the needy
+with food, medical care and education. Food and medical care to keep them
+healthy now, and education so that they can take care of themselves in the
+future. KCC works on a Christian base, but help is given to children of any
+religion.
+
+The key to solving the problems in this area is education. This has been
+neglected in the past years with president Idi Amin and the following civil
+wars. Now that the government is stable again, the children and parents have
+to learn how to take care of themselves and how to avoid infections. There is
+also help for people who are ill and hungry, but the primary goal is to
+prevent people from getting ill and to teach them how to grow healthy food.
+
+Most of the orphans are living in an extended family. An uncle or older
+sister is taking care of them. Because these families are big and the income
+(if any) is low, a child is lucky if it gets healthy food. Clothes, medical
+care and schooling is beyond its reach. To help these needy children, a
+sponsorship program was put into place. A child can be financially adopted.
+For a few dollars a month KCC sees to it that the child gets indispensable
+items, is healthy, goes to school and KCC takes care of anything else that
+needs to be done for the child and the family that supports it.
+
+Besides helping the child directly, the environment where the child grows up
+needs to be improved. KCC helps schools to improve their teaching methods.
+There is a demonstration school at the centre and teacher trainings are given.
+Health workers are being trained, hygiene education is carried out and
+households are stimulated to build a proper latrine. I helped setting up a
+production site for cement slabs. These are used to build a good latrine.
+They are sold below cost price.
+
+There is a clinic at the project, which provides children and their family
+medical help. Since 2020 a maternity ward was added and 24/7 service is
+available. When needed, transport to a hospital is offered. Immunization
+programs are carried out and help is provided when an epidemic is breaking out
+(measles and cholera have been a problem).
+ *donate*
+Summer 1994 to summer 1995 I spent a whole year at the centre, working as a
+volunteer. I have helped to expand the centre and worked in the area of water
+and sanitation. I learned that the help that the KCC provides really helps.
+When I came back to Holland, I wanted to continue supporting KCC. To do this
+I'm raising funds and organizing the sponsorship program. Please consider one
+of these possibilities:
+
+1. Sponsor a child in primary school: 17 euro a month (or more).
+2. Sponsor a child in secondary school: 25 euro a month (or more).
+3. Sponsor the clinic: Any amount a month or quarter
+4. A one-time donation
+
+Compared with other organizations that do child sponsorship the amounts are
+very low. This is because the money goes directly to the centre. Less than
+5% is used for administration. This is possible because this is a small
+organization that works with volunteers. If you would like to sponsor a
+child, you should have the intention to do this for at least one year.
+
+How do you know that the money will be spent right? First of all you have my
+personal guarantee as the author of Vim. I trust the people that are working
+at the centre, I know them personally. Furthermore, the centre has been
+co-sponsored and inspected by World Vision, Save the Children Fund and is now
+under the supervision of Pacific Academy Outreach Society. The centre is
+visited about once a year to check the progress (at our own cost). I have
+visited the centre myself many times, starting in 1993. The visit reports are
+on the ICCF web site.
+
+If you have any further questions, send me e-mail: <Bram@vim.org>.
+
+The address of the centre is:
+ Kibaale Children's Centre
+ p.o. box 1658
+ Masaka, Uganda, East Africa
