+Thomas E. Dickey:
+
+  The original header is preserved below for reference.  It is noted that there
+  is a "newer" version which differs in some cosmetic details (but actually
+  stopped updates several years ago); we have decided to not change the header
+  unless there is also a change in content.
+
+  To further muddy the waters, it is noted that changes to this file as part of
+  maintenance of ncurses (since 1996) are generally conceded to be copyright
+  under the ncurses MIT-style license.  That was the effect of the agreement
+  which the principal authors of ncurses made in 1998.  However, since much of
+  the file itself is of unknown authorship (and the disclaimer below makes it
+  obvious that Raymond cannot or will not convey rights over those parts),
+  there is no explicit copyright notice on the file itself.
+
+  It would also be a nuisance to split the file into unknown/known authorship
+  and move pieces as they are maintained, since many of the maintenance changes
+  have been small corrections to Raymond's translations to/from termcap format,
+  correcting the data but not the accompanying annotations.
+
+  In any case, note that almost half of this file is not data but annotations
+  which reflect creative effort.  Furthermore, the structure of entries to
+  reuse common chunks also is creative (and subject to copyright).  Finally,
+  some portions of the data are derivative work under a compatible MIT-style
+  license from xterm.

+  COPYRIGHTS AND OTHER DELUSIONS
+
+  The BSD ancestor of this file had a standard Regents of the University of
+  California copyright with dates from 1980 to 1993.
+
+  Some information has been merged in from a terminfo file SCO distributes.
+  It has an obnoxious boilerplate copyright which I'm ignoring because they
+  took so much of the content from the ancestral BSD versions of this file
+  and didn't attribute it, thereby violating the BSD Regents' copyright.
+
+  Not that anyone should care.  However many valid functions copyrights may
+  serve, putting one on a termcap/terminfo file with hundreds of anonymous
+  contributors makes about as much sense as copyrighting a wall-full of
+  graffiti -- it's legally dubious, ethically bogus, and patently ridiculous.
+
+  This file deliberately has no copyright.  It belongs to no one and everyone.
+  If you claim you own it, you will merely succeed in looking like a fool.
+  Use it as you like.  Use it at your own risk.  Copy and redistribute freely.
+  There are no guarantees anywhere.  Svaha!
