-MiNT works well on my machine, and I trust my data to it. But
+    the files have been changed, and the date of any change; and
 
-then, I make regular backups, so even if a horrible bug in MiNT that

+    b) any binary compiled from a modified version of the MiNT source
 
-certainly recommend regular backups in any event.
+    code must, when executed, print a notice stating that it is
 
+    a modified version of MiNT; and
 
 
-MiNT COMES WITH ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY, NOR WILL I BE LIABLE FOR ANY
 
-DAMAGES INCURRED FROM THE USE OF IT. USE ENTIRELY AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!
+    c) any work that is based in whole or in part on MiNT must be
+
+    licensed, at no charge, to all third parties under the terms
+
+    of this license. Mere aggregation of a work with another work
+
+    based upon MiNT does not cause it to fall under this clause.
+
+
+
+In plain English: (1) means you can copy unmodified versions of MiNT,
+
+with the only restriction being that you must preserve copyright
+
+notices, and include a copy of this file. (2) Means that if you
+
+modify your version of MiNT, you can redistribute it as long as
+
+you keep the original copyright notices (including this file),
+
+you clearly indicate that it is a modified version, and you agree
+
+that anyone you give it to can also give it away. If you bundle
+
+MiNT (or a modified version of MiNT) with another program, that
+
+other program does not fall under the terms of this license, but
+
+the copy of MiNT (or the modified version of MiNT) does, and hence
+
+must remain freely copyable.
