+---END-OF-FORMAL-COPYRIGHT-NOTICE---

+Earlier (pre-2.6) versions of this package carried a different
+notice: "Permission is hereby given for use and/or distribution
+with the exception of sale for profit or application with nontrivial
+military significance." These days most people use nauty via a
+larger package such as Magma, Sage, or GAP, and often they don't
+even know they are using nauty. Due to the legal nonsense that
+large package distributors need to worry about, it has proved too
+much trouble to maintain an idiosyncratic licence. I didn't change
+my opinion about military use, but it is no longer part of the
+formal notice. Brendan McKay (Jan 20, 2016)
