+The libarchive distribution as a whole is Copyright by Tim Kientzle
+and is subject to the copyright notice reproduced at the bottom of
+this file.
+
+Each individual file in this distribution should have a clear
+copyright/licensing statement at the beginning of the file.  If any do
+not, please let me know and I will rectify it.  The following is
+intended to summarize the copyright status of the individual files;
+the actual statements in the files are controlling.
+
+* Except as listed below, all C sources (including .c and .h files)
+  and documentation files are subject to the copyright notice reproduced
+  at the bottom of this file.
+
+* The following source files are also subject in whole or in part to
+  a 3-clause UC Regents copyright; please read the individual source
+  files for details:
+   libarchive/archive_entry.c
+   libarchive/archive_read_support_filter_compress.c
+   libarchive/archive_write_add_filter_compress.c
+   libarchive/mtree.5
+
+* The following source files are in the public domain:
+   libarchive/archive_getdate.c
+
+* The build files---including Makefiles, configure scripts,
+  and auxiliary scripts used as part of the compile process---have
+  widely varying licensing terms.  Please check individual files before
+  distributing them to see if those restrictions apply to you.
+
+I intend for all new source code to use the license below and hope over
+time to replace code with other licenses with new implementations that
+do use the license below.  The varying licensing of the build scripts
+seems to be an unavoidable mess.
