+Vim is Charityware.  You can use and copy it as much as you like, but you are
+encouraged to make a donation for needy children in Uganda.  Please see |kcc|
+below or visit the ICCF web site, available at these URLs:
+
+       http://iccf-holland.org/
+       http://www.vim.org/iccf/
+       http://www.iccf.nl/
+
+You can also sponsor the development of Vim.  Vim sponsors can vote for
+features.  See |sponsor|.  The money goes to Uganda anyway.
+
+The Open Publication License applies to the Vim documentation, see
+|manual-copyright|.
+
+
+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 maintainer is Bram Moolenaar <address@hidden>. 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
+<address@hidden> 
+
+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.
+
+
+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.

+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
+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 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.  And this is 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 small clinic at the project, which provides children and their
+family with medical help.  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.  Further more, the centre is
+co-sponsored and inspected by World Vision, Save the Children Fund and
+International Child Care Fund.  The centre is visited about once a year to
+check the progress (at our own cost).  I have visited the centre myself in
+1996, 1998, 2000, 2001 and 2003.  The visit reports are on the ICCF web site.
+
+If you have any further questions, send me e-mail: <address@hidden>.

+               Kibaale.  KCF forwards 100% of the money to the project in
+               Uganda.  You can send them a one time donation directly.
+               Please send me a note so that I know what has been donated
+               because of Vim.  Ask KCF for information about sponsorship.
