+Important note for Camel hackers:
+---------------------------------
+
+Camel has been a lot of work, and has been conceived to be general
+enough to be used outside the gnome-mailer. It is possible in the
+future that it is used in softwares with licenses incompatible with the
+LGPL. For this reason, the copyright has to be owned by a unique
+person.  Be sure, however, that Camel will always be available under
+the LGPL.  Significant authors will always be consulted before any
+special use of Camel. Moreover, in special situations, they may be
+given the authorization to use Camel with a license different than the
+LGPL.
+
+Thus, when adding code in Camel, always add the following lines at the
+begining of the file:
