  1. This directory contains the GD library available from
  2. http://www.boutell.com/gd/
  3. The inclusion of this library with PHP is in response to the
  4. popularity of the GD extension and the GD library itself. We felt
  5. it would be worthwhile to make sure everyone had access to the
  6. features of GD and by bundling GD with PHP we have a known target to
  7. work against.
  8. In addition to the above, a number of motivated PHP hackers have
  9. expressed an interest in extending the functionality of the PHP-GD
  10. combination. By putting a version of GD into PHP CVS we have provided
  11. a sandbox for them to throw sand at each other in. Any and all
  12. improvements we make to the GD library will be contributed back to the
  13. original maintainers of this library at boutell.com.
  14. The following statement is from the original GD package:

  18. have required such a statement. _If you are aware of any oversights in
  19. this copyright notice, please contact Thomas Boutell who will be
