+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!
