| Hi,
| 
| As per the copyright file[1]:
|    License is granted to build or use the accompanying software:
| 
|                              dieharder
| 
|   according to the following standard Gnu General Public License or any
|   later versions, with the one minor "Beverage" modification listed below.
|   Note that this modification is probably not legally defensible and can
|   be followed really pretty much according to the honor rule.
| 
|   As to my personal preferences in beverages, red wine is great, beer is
|   delightful, and Coca Cola or coffee or tea or even milk acceptable to
|   those who for religious or personal reasons wish to avoid stressing my
|   liver.
| 
|                   The "Beverage" Modification to the GPL
| 
|   Any user of this software shall, upon meeting the primary author(s) of
|   this software for the first time under the appropriate circumstances,
|   offer to buy him or her or them a beverage.  This beverage may or may
|   not be alcoholic, depending on the personal ethical and moral views of
|   the offerer.  The beverage cost need not exceed one U.S. dollar
|   (although it certainly may at the whim of the offerer:-) and may be
|   accepted or declined with no further obligation on the part of the
|   offerer.  It is not necessary to repeat the offer after the first
|   meeting, but it can't hurt...
| 
| 
| This looks non-free, it turns the program into a "beerware".
| CC'ing ftpmasters so that they can comment and act if necessary.
