See the file\n  COPYING-GPL-3.\n* The `paperconf` program by Yyes Arrouye and Adrian Bunk is distributed\n  under the GNU General Public Licence version 2.\n\nLibpaper was developed by Reuben Thomas \u003crrt@sc3d.org\u003e, based on the\ndesign of libpaper by Yves Arrouye \u003cyves@debian.org\u003e, improved by\nAdrian Bunk \u003cbunk@fs.tum.de\u003e. It also supersedes the earlier \u201cpaper\u201d\npackage developed by Reuben Thomas.\n\nThe `paperconf` program is supplied for backwards-compatibility with\nlibpaper version 1. It is deprecated, and will be removed in future.\n\n\n# Installation from source\n\nTo build, you need a POSIX.1-2008 environment and C99 compiler.\nRun:\n\n```\n./configure --enable-relocatable \u0026\u0026 make \u0026\u0026 [sudo] make install\n```\n\nThe --enable-relocatable option builds libpaper as a relocatable\npackage that can be copied anywhere once built and installed. Note\nthat if you do not use it, the tests (\u201cmake check\u201d) will not work.\n\nFor installation options, see `./configure --help`; see INSTALL for more\ninformation.\n\n\n# Building from git\n\nTo build from git, you need the fol",
