ZeroC IceE package is distributed as a whole under the GPL version 2
with a special exception to allow linking against OpenSSL.

  In addition, as a special exception, ZeroC, Inc. gives permission to
  link Ice with the OpenSSL library (or with modified versions of
  OpenSSL that use the same license as OpenSSL), and distribute linked
  combinations including the two. You must obey the GNU General Public
  License version 2 in all respects for all of the code used other
  than OpenSSL. If you modify this copy of Ice, you may extend this
  exception to your version of Ice, but you are not obligated to do
  so. If you do not wish to do so, delete this exception statement
  from your version.

The copyright owners of some files in the source distribution differ
and in some cases special distribution terms are allowed. To the best
of our knowledge these terms are compatible with the distribution of
ICE under the GPL as a derived product. All these exceptions are
detailed below.

* src/icecpp/

These files are just a slightly modified version of the GNU C preprocessor.
The precise copyright terms follows:

  C Compatible Compiler Preprocessor (CCCP)

  Free Software Foundation; either version 2, or (at your option) any
  later version.
 
  This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful,
  but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of
  MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.  See the

  You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License
  along with this program; if not, write to the Free Software
  Foundation, Inc., 51 Franklin St, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA 02110-1301
  USA.

Note that there is no conflict with the OpenSSL linking clause since
icecpp is a standalone application that is not linked against OpenSSL.

* Bison parsers

The following files in the source distribution are YACC compatible
grammar specifications. Upstream authors also distribute the GNU Bison
output for each of these files in order to optionally reduce build
dependencies.

src/Slice/Grammar.y
src/icecpp/cexp.y

GNU Bison output is unrestricted since version 1.24. The precise terms
follows:

  As a special exception, when this file is copied by Bison into a
  Bison output file, you may use that output file without restriction.
  This special exception was added by the Free Software Foundation
  in version 1.24 of Bison.

* src/IceUtil/MD5I.{h,cpp}

These files implement MD5 algorithm as defined in RFC 1321. They are
covered by the following terms (BSD-like without advertising clause).
