+Lua is licensed under the terms of the MIT license reproduced below.
+This means that Lua is free software and can be used for both academic
+and commercial purposes at absolutely no cost.
 
-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*
