1This directory contains the GD library available from 2http://www.boutell.com/gd/ 3 4The inclusion of this library with PHP is in response to the 5popularity of the GD extension and the GD library itself. We felt 6it would be worthwhile to make sure everyone had access to the 7features of GD and by bundling GD with PHP we have a known target to 8work against. 9 10In addition to the above, a number of motivated PHP hackers have 11expressed an interest in extending the functionality of the PHP-GD 12combination. By putting a version of GD into PHP CVS we have provided 13a sandbox for them to throw sand at each other in. Any and all 14improvements we make to the GD library will be contributed back to the 15original maintainers of this library at boutell.com. 16 17The following statement is from the original GD package: 18 19 Credits and license terms 20 21 In order to resolve any possible confusion regarding the authorship of 22 gd, the following copyright statement covers all of the authors who 23 have required such a statement. _If you are aware of any oversights in 24 this copyright notice, please contact Thomas Boutell who will be 25 pleased to correct them._ 26 27COPYRIGHT STATEMENT FOLLOWS THIS LINE 28 29 Portions copyright 1994, 1995, 1996, 1997, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001 30 by Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory.
