-The GNU General Public License (GPL)
-Version 2, June 1991
-
-Copyright (C) 1989, 1991 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
-59 Temple Place, Suite 330, Boston, MA 02111-1307 USA
-
-Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
-of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
-
-Preamble
-
-The licenses for most software are designed to take away
-your freedom to share and change it. By contrast, the GNU
-General Public License is intended to guarantee your freedom
-to share and change free software--to make sure the software
-is free for all its users. This General Public License
-applies to most of the Free Software Foundation's software
-and to any other program whose authors commit to using
-it. (Some other Free Software Foundation software is covered
-by the GNU Library General Public License instead.) You can
-apply it to your programs, too.
-
-When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom,
-not price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make
-sure that you have the freedom to distribute copies of free
-software (and charge for this service if you wish), that you
-receive source code or can get it if you want it, that you
-can change the software or use pieces of it in new free
-programs; and that you know you can do these things.
-
-To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that
-forbid anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to
-surrender the rights. These restrictions translate to
-certain responsibilities for you if you distribute copies of
-the software, or if you modify it.
-
-For example, if you distribute copies of such a program,
-whether gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients
-all the rights that you have. You must make sure that they,
-too, receive or can get the source code. And you must show
-them these terms so they know their rights.
-
-We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the
-software, and (2) offer you this license which gives you
-legal permission to copy, distribute and/or modify the
-software.
-
-Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make
-certain that everyone understands that there is no warranty
-for this free software. If the software is modified by
-someone else and passed on, we want its recipients to know
-that what they have is not the original, so that any
-problems introduced by others will not reflect on the
-original authors' reputations.
-
-Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by
-software patents. We wish to avoid the danger that
-redistributors of a free program will individually obtain
-patent licenses, in effect making the program
-proprietary. To prevent this, we have made it clear that any
-patent must be licensed for everyone's free use or not
-licensed at all.
-
-The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution
-and modification follow.
-
-TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION
-
-0. This License applies to any program or other work which
-contains a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it
-may be distributed under the terms of this General Public
-License. The "Program", below, refers to any such program or
-work, and a "work based on the Program" means either the
-Program or any derivative work under copyright law: that is
-to say, a work containing the Program or a portion of it,
-either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated into
-another language. (Hereinafter, translation is included
-without limitation in the term "modification".) Each
-licensee is addressed as "you".
-
-Activities other than copying, distribution and modification
-are not covered by this License; they are outside its
-scope. The act of running the Program is not restricted, and
-the output from the Program is covered only if its contents
-constitute a work based on the Program (independent of
-having been made by running the Program). Whether that is
-true depends on what the Program does.
-
-1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the
-Program's source code as you receive it, in any medium,
-provided that you conspicuously and appropriately publish on
-each copy an appropriate copyright notice and disclaimer of
-warranty; keep intact all the notices that refer to this
-License and to the absence of any warranty; and give any
-other recipients of the Program a copy of this License along
-with the Program.
-
-You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a
-copy, and you may at your option offer warranty protection
-in exchange for a fee.
-
-2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any
-portion of it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and
-copy and distribute such modifications or work under the
-terms of Section 1 above, provided that you also meet all of
-these conditions:
-
- a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent
-notices stating that you changed the files and the date of
-any change.
-
- b) You must cause any work that you distribute or
-publish, that in whole or in part contains or is derived
-from the Program or any part thereof, to be licensed as a
-whole at no charge to all third parties under the terms of
-this License.
-
- c) If the modified program normally reads commands
-interactively when run, you must cause it, when started
-running for such interactive use in the most ordinary way,
-to print or display an announcement including an appropriate
-copyright notice and a notice that there is no warranty (or
-else, saying that you provide a warranty) and that users may
-redistribute the program under these conditions, and telling
-the user how to view a copy of this License. (Exception: if
-the Program itself is interactive but does not normally
-print such an announcement, your work based on the Program
-is not required to print an announcement.)
-
-These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If
-identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the
-Program, and can be reasonably considered independent and
-separate works in themselves, then this License, and its
-terms, do not apply to those sections when you distribute
-them as separate works. But when you distribute the same
-sections as part of a whole which is a work based on the
-Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms
-of this License, whose permissions for other licensees
-extend to the entire whole, and thus to each and every part
-regardless of who wrote it.
-
-Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights
-or contest your rights to work written entirely by you;
-rather, the intent is to exercise the right to control the
-distribution of derivative or collective works based on the
-Program.
-
-In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on
-the Program with the Program (or with a work based on the
-Program) on a volume of a storage or distribution medium
-does not bring the other work under the scope of this
-License.
-
-3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based
-on it, under Section 2) in object code or executable form
-under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you
-also do one of the following:
-
- a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding
-machine-readable source code, which must be distributed
-under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium
-customarily used for software interchange; or,
-
- b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least
-three years, to give any third party, for a charge no more
-than your cost of physically performing source distribution,
-a complete machine-readable copy of the corresponding source
-code, to be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2
-above on a medium customarily used for software interchange;
-or,
-
- c) Accompany it with the information you received as to
-the offer to distribute corresponding source code. (This
-alternative is allowed only for noncommercial distribution
-and only if you received the program in object code or
-executable form with such an offer, in accord with
-Subsection b above.)
-
-The source code for a work means the preferred form of the
-work for making modifications to it. For an executable work,
-complete source code means all the source code for all
-modules it contains, plus any associated interface
-definition files, plus the scripts used to control
-compilation and installation of the executable. However, as
-a special exception, the source code distributed need not
-include anything that is normally distributed (in either
-source or binary form) with the major components (compiler,
-kernel, and so on) of the operating system on which the
-executable runs, unless that component itself accompanies
-the executable.
-
-If distribution of executable or object code is made by
-offering access to copy from a designated place, then
-offering equivalent access to copy the source code from the
-same place counts as distribution of the source code, even
-though third parties are not compelled to copy the source
-along with the object code.
-
-4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the
-Program except as expressly provided under this License. Any
-attempt otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute
-the Program is void, and will automatically terminate your
-rights under this License. However, parties who have
-received copies, or rights, from you under this License will
-not have their licenses terminated so long as such parties
-remain in full compliance.
-
-5. You are not required to accept this License, since you
-have not signed it. However, nothing else grants you
-permission to modify or distribute the Program or its
-derivative works. These actions are prohibited by law if you
-do not accept this License. Therefore, by modifying or
-distributing the Program (or any work based on the Program),
-you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and
-all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or
-modifying the Program or works based on it.
-
-6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based
-on the Program), the recipient automatically receives a
-license from the original licensor to copy, distribute or
-modify the Program subject to these terms and
-conditions. You may not impose any further restrictions on
-the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein. You
-are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third
-parties to this License.
-
-7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of
-patent infringement or for any other reason (not limited to
-patent issues), conditions are imposed on you (whether by
-court order, agreement or otherwise) that contradict the
-conditions of this License, they do not excuse you from the
-conditions of this License. If you cannot distribute so as
-to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this
-License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a
-consequence you may not distribute the Program at all. For
-example, if a patent license would not permit royalty-free
-redistribution of the Program by all those who receive
-copies directly or indirectly through you, then the only way
-you could satisfy both it and this License would be to
-refrain entirely from distribution of the Program.
-
-If any portion of this section is held invalid or
-unenforceable under any particular circumstance, the balance
-of the section is intended to apply and the section as a
-whole is intended to apply in other circumstances.
-
-It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to
-infringe any patents or other property right claims or to
-contest validity of any such claims; this section has the
-sole purpose of protecting the integrity of the free
-software distribution system, which is implemented by public
-license practices. Many people have made generous
-contributions to the wide range of software distributed
-through that system in reliance on consistent application of
-that system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or
-she is willing to distribute software through any other
-system and a licensee cannot impose that choice.
-
-This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is
-believed to be a consequence of the rest of this License.
-
-8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is
-restricted in certain countries either by patents or by
-copyrighted interfaces, the original copyright holder who
-places the Program under this License may add an explicit
-geographical distribution limitation excluding those
-countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or
-among countries not thus excluded. In such case, this
-License incorporates the limitation as if written in the
-body of this License.
-
-9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or
-new versions of the General Public License from time to
-time. Such new versions will be similar in spirit to the
-present version, but may differ in detail to address new
-problems or concerns.
-
-Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If
-the Program specifies a version number of this License which
-applies to it and "any later version", you have the option
-of following the terms and conditions either of that version
-or of any later version published by the Free Software
-Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number
-of this License, you may choose any version ever published
-by the Free Software Foundation.
-
-10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into
-other free programs whose distribution conditions are
-different, write to the author to ask for permission. For
-software which is copyrighted by the Free Software
-Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we
-sometimes make exceptions for this. Our decision will be
-guided by the two goals of preserving the free status of all
-derivatives of our free software and of promoting the
-sharing and reuse of software generally.
-
-NO WARRANTY
-
-11. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS
-NO WARRANTY FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY
-APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE
-COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE PROGRAM
-"AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR
-IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED
-WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
-PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE
-OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE PROGRAM PROVE
-DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING,
-REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
-
-12. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED
-TO IN WRITING WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY
-WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED
-ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY GENERAL,
-SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF
-THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT
-LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR
-LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE
-PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH
-HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF
-SUCH DAMAGES.

+As of 0.5.0, we have seem to have a stable suite on
+ACL, SBCL, and OpenMCL.
+
+The things I would most like to see improved are:
+
+1) Robustness around error handling.
+2) Ian Eslick has written some great indexing stuff in a branch
+that I intend to merge in after this release.
+3) The SQL serializer could be made more efficiently very
+easily, greatly enhancing the speed of that as a back-end.

+In general, Elephant is very usable and modestly robust,
