+h1. Mongrel Licensing
+
+After much debate and talking with people about Mongrel's potential, I've changed the
+licensing of Mongrel from LGPL to Ruby's License:
+
+
+  Mongrel Web Server (Mongrel) is copyrighted free software by Zed A. Shaw
+  <zedshaw at zedshaw dot com> You can redistribute it and/or modify it under
+  either the terms of the GPL or the conditions below:
+
+  1. You may make and give away verbatim copies of the source form of the
+     software without restriction, provided that you duplicate all of the
+     original copyright notices and associated disclaimers.
+
+  2. You may modify your copy of the software in any way, provided that
+     you do at least ONE of the following:
+
+       a) place your modifications in the Public Domain or otherwise make them
+       Freely Available, such as by posting said modifications to Usenet or an
+       equivalent medium, or by allowing the author to include your
+       modifications in the software.
+
+       b) use the modified software only within your corporation or
+          organization.
+
+       c) rename any non-standard executables so the names do not conflict with
+       standard executables, which must also be provided.
+
+       d) make other distribution arrangements with the author.
+
+  3. You may distribute the software in object code or executable
+     form, provided that you do at least ONE of the following:
+
+       a) distribute the executables and library files of the software,
+       together with instructions (in the manual page or equivalent) on where
+       to get the original distribution.
+
+       b) accompany the distribution with the machine-readable source of the
+       software.
+
+       c) give non-standard executables non-standard names, with
+          instructions on where to get the original software distribution.
+
+       d) make other distribution arrangements with the author.
+
+  4. You may modify and include the part of the software into any other
+     software (possibly commercial).  But some files in the distribution
+     are not written by the author, so that they are not under this terms.
+
+  5. The scripts and library files supplied as input to or produced as 
+     output from the software do not automatically fall under the
+     copyright of the software, but belong to whomever generated them, 
+     and may be sold commercially, and may be aggregated with this
+     software.
+
+  6. THIS SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND WITHOUT ANY EXPRESS OR
+     IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE IMPLIED
+     WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
+     PURPOSE.

+h2. GemPlugins
+
+The GemPlugins system is both freely available *and* 
+licensed under the Ruby License.  Feel free to use it just
+like you would Ruby and work it into your projects as you
+need.  
+
+h2. Some Charities To Consider
+
+Any charity that helps children is a good one.  My personal favorite is 
+"The Train Platform Schools":http://www.globalgiving.com/pr/1100/proj1042a.html
+in India.  They help children who are extremely poor get food, medical
+attention, and education by holding small school sessions on the train
+platforms in Bhubaneswar, India.
