+Patch against XOSview 1.7.1 - Disclaimer
+========================================
+
+This patch is released under the terms of `GPL version 2`_. **Warning!** Some
+parts of XOSview are released under a BSD-style license, and some under both.
+Consequently, I believe license conflicts could arise by compiling both my
+patch (GPL) and netbsd/swapinternal.cc (BSD) into the same binary. Anyway, this
+should never happen, since my patch is Linux-specific, while the other file is
+NetBSD-specific.
+
+As usual you get no warranty etc. etc. (see the `license`_ for details)
+
+The files under linux/sensors **are NOT written by me**: they come form
+MonitorSensors 1.4, written by `Daniel Schudel`_. Those files, too, are
+released under `GPL`_.
+
+This patch **is not** official: if you have problems with it, either before or
+after applying it, `contact me`_. I've written to the author `Mike Romberg`_,
+but he never answered.
