+Lua Copyright notice 
+
+Lua is free software: it can be used for both academic and commercial purposes at absolutely no cost. There are no royalties or GNU-like "copyleft" restrictions. Lua (probably) qualifies as Open Source software. Nevertheless, Lua is not in the public domain and Tecgraf keeps its copyright. The legal details are below. 
+
+If you use Lua, please give us credit (a nice way to do this is to include a Lua logo in a web page for your product), but we would appreciate not receiving lengthy legal documents to sign. 
+
+
+Copyright © 1994-2000 Tecgraf, PUC-Rio. All rights reserved.
