[189]21A RELEASE Version
22-----------------
23If you _do_ build a RELEASE and *distribute* it, you are obliged to honor the
24GPL and thus also make available the sources from which the release was built.
25Furthermore, you are obliged to use *your* VENDOR and MACHINE information
26for the BLDLEVEL information.
