Ghostscript is now distributed in two different versions, with two
different licenses.  The current version with the GNU License is in
the gnu subdirectory; the current version with the new Aladdin
Ghostscript Free Public License is in the aladdin subdirectory.  The
Aladdin version will typically be about a year more recent than the
GNU version; however, the Aladdin license, unlike the GNU license,
prohibits all commercial distribution (unless you get a commercial
license from Artifex Software Inc., which is currently the only entity
authorized by Aladdin to grant such licenses.)  For more information,
please read the file commprod.txt in the aladdin directory.  For a
copy of the Aladdin license, see the file PUBLIC in the aladdin
directory.

The directory aladdin/current is a link to the most recent version
of Aladdin Ghostscript.
Instructions on how to obtain Aladdin Ghostscript are available from
   http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~ghost/

GSview for MS Windows and GSview for OS/2 are also distributed with a
similar pair of licenses, even though they are not part of Ghostscript
and their copyright is owned by Russell Lang, not Aladdin Enterprises.
The code that allows Ghostscript to function as a DLL under MS Windows
and OS/2 is also owned by Russell Lang.
They are designed to work with Aladdin Ghostscript, not GNU Ghostscript.

The files in the 3rdparty directory are libraries used by
Ghostscript (JPEG, libpng and zlib).  They are a copy of the versions 
available on many file servers around the net.  Since Ghostscript versions 
3.0 and above use these libraries, we thought it would be a good idea to 
keep a copy near the principal Ghostscript distribution point.
