    === begin of license ===

    VIM LICENSE

    I)  There are no restrictions on distributing unmodified copies of Vim except
        that they must include this license text.  You can also distribute
        unmodified parts of Vim, likewise unrestricted except that they must
        include this license text.  You are also allowed to include executables
        that you made from the unmodified Vim sources, plus your own usage
        examples and Vim scripts.

    II) It is allowed to distribute a modified (or extended) version of Vim,
        including executables and/or source code, when the following four
        conditions are met:
        1) This license text must be included unmodified.
        2) The modified Vim must be distributed in one of the following five ways:
           a) If you make changes to Vim yourself, you must clearly describe in
    	  the distribution how to contact you.  When the maintainer asks you
    	  (in any way) for a copy of the modified Vim you distributed, you
    	  must make your changes, including source code, available to the
    	  maintainer without fee.  The maintainer reserves the right to
    	  include your changes in the official version of Vim.  What the
    	  maintainer will do with your changes and under what license they
    	  will be distributed is negotiable.  If there has been no negotiation
    	  then this license, or a later version, also applies to your changes.
    	  The current maintainers are listed here: https://github.com/orgs/vim/people.
    	  If this changes it will be announced in appropriate places (most likely
    	  vim.sf.net, www.vim.org and/or comp.editors).  When it is completely
    	  impossible to contact the maintainer, the obligation to send him
    	  your changes ceases.  Once the maintainer has confirmed that he has
    	  received your changes they will not have to be sent again.
           b) If you have received a modified Vim that was distributed as
    	  mentioned under a) you are allowed to further distribute it
    	  unmodified, as mentioned at I).  If you make additional changes the
    	  text under a) applies to those changes.
           c) Provide all the changes, including source code, with every copy of
    	  the modified Vim you distribute.  This may be done in the form of a
    	  context diff.  You can choose what license to use for new code you
    	  add.  The changes and their license must not restrict others from
    	  making their own changes to the official version of Vim.
           d) When you have a modified Vim which includes changes as mentioned
    	  under c), you can distribute it without the source code for the
    	  changes if the following three conditions are met:
    	  - The license that applies to the changes permits you to distribute
    	    the changes to the Vim maintainer without fee or restriction, and
    	    permits the Vim maintainer to include the changes in the official
    	    version of Vim without fee or restriction.
    	  - You keep the changes for at least three years after last
    	    distributing the corresponding modified Vim.  When the maintainer
    	    or someone who you distributed the modified Vim to asks you (in
    	    any way) for the changes within this period, you must make them
    	    available to him.
    	  - You clearly describe in the distribution how to contact you.  This
    	    contact information must remain valid for at least three years
    	    after last distributing the corresponding modified Vim, or as long
    	    as possible.
           e) When the GNU General Public License (GPL) applies to the changes,
    	  you can distribute the modified Vim under the GNU GPL version 2 or
    	  any later version.
        3) A message must be added, at least in the output of the ":version"
           command and in the intro screen, such that the user of the modified Vim
           is able to see that it was modified.  When distributing as mentioned
           under 2)e) adding the message is only required for as far as this does
           not conflict with the license used for the changes.
        4) The contact information as required under 2)a) and 2)d) must not be
           removed or changed, except that the person himself can make
           corrections.

    III) If you distribute a modified version of Vim, you are encouraged to use
         the Vim license for your changes and make them available to the
         maintainer, including the source code.  The preferred way to do this is
         by e-mail or by uploading the files to a server and e-mailing the URL.
         If the number of changes is small (e.g., a modified Makefile) e-mailing a
         context diff will do.  The e-mail address to be used is
         <maintainer@vim.org>

    IV)  It is not allowed to remove this license from the distribution of the Vim
         sources, parts of it or from a modified version.  You may use this
         license for previous Vim releases instead of the license that they came
         with, at your option.

    === end of license ===

    Note:

    - If you are happy with Vim, please express that by reading the rest of this
      file and consider helping needy children in Uganda.

    - If you want to support further Vim development consider becoming a
      |sponsor|.  The money goes to Uganda anyway.

    - According to Richard Stallman the Vim license is GNU GPL compatible.
      A few minor changes have been made since he checked it, but that should not
      make a difference.

    - If you link Vim with a library that goes under the GNU GPL, this limits
      further distribution to the GNU GPL.  Also when you didn't actually change
      anything in Vim.

    - Once a change is included that goes under the GNU GPL, this forces all
      further changes to also be made under the GNU GPL or a compatible license.

    - If you distribute a modified version of Vim, you can include your name and
      contact information with the "--with-modified-by" configure argument or the
      MODIFIED_BY define.

    - This license applies to the source code of Vim.  However, different license
      conditions may apply to some runtime files included with Vim; these will be
      specified in the header of each respective file.

    Kibaale Children's Centre		*kcc* *Kibaale*  *charity*

    Kibaale Children's Centre (KCC) is located in Kibaale, a small town in the
    south of Uganda, near Tanzania, in East Africa.  The area is known as Rakai
    District.  The population is mostly farmers.  Although people are poor, there
    usually is enough food.  But this district is suffering from AIDS more than
    any other part of the world.  Some say that it started there.  Estimations are
    that in the past 10 to 30% of the Ugandans are infected with HIV.  Because
    parents die, there are many orphans.  In this district about 60,000 children
    have lost one or both parents, out of a population of 350,000.  Although AIDS
    is now mostly under control, the problems are still continuing.

    The children need a lot of help.  The KCC is working hard to provide the needy
    with food, medical care and education.  Food and medical care to keep them
    healthy now, and education so that they can take care of themselves in the
    future.  KCC works on a Christian base, but help is given to children of any
    religion.

    The key to solving the problems in this area is education.  This has been
    neglected in the past years with president Idi Amin and the following civil
    wars.  Now that the government is stable again, the children and parents have
    to learn how to take care of themselves and how to avoid infections.  There is
    also help for people who are ill and hungry, but the primary goal is to
    prevent people from getting ill and to teach them how to grow healthy food.

    Most of the orphans are living in an extended family.  An uncle or older
    sister is taking care of them.  Because these families are big and the income
    (if any) is low, a child is lucky if it gets healthy food.  Clothes, medical
    care and schooling is beyond its reach.  To help these needy children, a
    sponsorship program was put into place.  A child can be financially adopted.
    For a few dollars a month KCC sees to it that the child gets indispensable
    items, is healthy, goes to school and KCC takes care of anything else that
    needs to be done for the child and the family that supports it.

    Besides helping the child directly, the environment where the child grows up
    needs to be improved.  KCC helps schools to improve their teaching methods.
    There is a demonstration school at the centre and teacher trainings are given.
    Health workers are being trained, hygiene education is carried out and
    households are stimulated to build a proper latrine.  I helped setting up a
    production site for cement slabs.  These are used to build a good latrine.
    They are sold below cost price.

    There is a clinic at the project, which provides children and their family
    medical help.  Since 2020 a maternity ward was added and 24/7 service is
    available.  When needed, transport to a hospital is offered.  Immunization
    programs are carried out and help is provided when an epidemic is breaking out
    (measles and cholera have been a problem).
    							*donate*
    Summer 1994 to summer 1995 I spent a whole year at the centre, working as a
    volunteer.  I have helped to expand the centre and worked in the area of water
    and sanitation.  I learned that the help that the KCC provides really helps.
    When I came back to Holland, I wanted to continue supporting KCC.  To do this
    I'm raising funds and organizing the sponsorship program.  Please consider one
    of these possibilities:

    1.  Sponsor a child in primary school: 17 euro a month (or more).
    2.  Sponsor a child in secondary school: 25 euro a month (or more).
    3.  Sponsor the clinic: Any amount a month or quarter
    4.  A one-time donation

    Compared with other organizations that do child sponsorship the amounts are
    very low.  This is because the money goes directly to the centre.  Less than
    5% is used for administration.  This is possible because this is a small
    organization that works with volunteers.  If you would like to sponsor a
    child, you should have the intention to do this for at least one year.

    How do you know that the money will be spent right?  First of all you have my
    personal guarantee as the author of Vim.  I trust the people that are working
    at the centre, I know them personally.  Furthermore, the centre has been
    co-sponsored and inspected by World Vision, Save the Children Fund and is now
    under the supervision of Pacific Academy Outreach Society.  The centre is
    visited about once a year to check the progress (at our own cost).  I have
    visited the centre myself many times, starting in 1993.  The visit reports are
    on the ICCF web site.

    If you have any further questions, send e-mail: <Bram@vim.org>.

    The address of the centre is:
    			Kibaale Children's Centre
    			p.o. box 1658
    			Masaka, Uganda, East Africa
