/* This is an auto-generated file and is a part of the programming language
* Ruby. The person who created a program to generate this file (``I''
* hereafter) would like to refrain from defining licensing of this generated
* source code.
*
* This file consist of many small parts of codes copyrighted by each authors,
* not only the ``I'' person. Those original authors agree with some
* open-source license. I believe that the license we agree is the condition
* mentioned in the file COPYING. It states "4. You may modify and include
* the part of the software into any other software ...". But the problem is,
* the license never makes it clear if such modified parts still remain in the
* same license, or not. The fact that we agree with the source code's
* licensing terms do not automatically define that of generated ones. This is
* the reason why this file is under unclear situation. All that I know is
* that above provision guarantees this file to exist.
*
* Please let me hesitate to declare something about this nuanced contract. I
* am not in the position to take over other authors' license to merge into my
* one. Changing them to (say) GPLv3 is not doable by myself. Perhaps someday
* it might turn out to be okay to say this file is under a license. I wish the
* situation would become more clear in the future. */
