  27   That is so.  Have fun (FWIW, I have done some rewriting on them - they are
  28   now in Perl, but still need some work...)

  53
  54   Certainly, it would be an honour to have it included in the Debian
  55   distribution so I hereby release ken into the public domain.

  65   Dear Edward,
  66           You have my permission to put the ky00te filter into the GNU GPL
  67   license.  (Though the license will be far longer than the program itself!)
