     31 Libyasm
     32 -------
     33 Libyasm is 2-clause or 3-clause BSD licensed, with the exception of
     34 bitvect, which is triple-licensed under the Artistic license, GPL, and

     36 means that libyasm is free for binary-only distribution as long as the
     37 terms of the 3-clause BSD license and Artistic license (as it applies to
     38 bitvect) are fulfilled.
