+GNU nano - an enhanced clone of the Pico text editor.
+
+The nano project was started because of a few "problems" with the
+wonderfully easy-to-use and friendly Pico text editor.
+
+First and foremost is its license: the Pine suite does not use the
+GPL or a GPL-friendly license, and has unclear restrictions on
+redistribution. Because of this, Pine and Pico are not included with
+many GNU/Linux distributions. Also, other features (like goto line
+number or search and replace) were unavailable until recently or
+require a command line flag. Yuck.
+
+nano aims to solve these problems by emulating the functionality of
+Pico as closely as possible while addressing the problems above and
+perhaps providing other extra functionality.
