| Note: This license label is deprecated, so don't use it for new packages. |
| Unfortunately, "as-is" has been (ab)used also for non-free software and |
| you cannot rely on it. Please check the upstream license instead. |
| |
| "as-is" in its originally intended sense is now covered by the OSI-approved |
| "HPND" (Historical Permission Notice and Disclaimer). |

| You will need to check the license that came with the software for the exact |
| specifics. Generally you are free to do most anything you want with "as is" |
| software but you should not take this license as legal advice. |
| |
| Note: Most all license have an "as is" clause. For our purposes this does |
| not make all software in this category. This category is for software with |
| very little restrictions. |
