+The Mini-XML library and included programs are provided under the
+terms of the GNU Library General Public License (LGPL) with the
+following exceptions:
+
+    1. Static linking of applications to the Mini-XML library
+       does not constitute a derivative work and does not require
+       the author to provide source code for the application, use
+       the shared Mini-XML libraries, or link their applications
+       against a user-supplied version of Mini-XML.
+
+       If you link the application to a modified version of
+       Mini-XML, then the changes to Mini-XML must be provided
+       under the terms of the LGPL in sections 1, 2, and 4.
+
+    2. You do not have to provide a copy of the Mini-XML license
+       with programs that are linked to the Mini-XML library, nor
+       do you have to identify the Mini-XML license in your
+       program or documentation as required by section 6 of the
+       LGPL.
