When the PicoHarp 330 software is used under Linux it uses Libusb to access 
the PicoHarp 330 USB devices. Similarly, the PicoHarp 330 programming library 
for Linux also uses Libusb. Libusb is licensed under the LGPL which allows 
fairly free use even in commercial projects. For details and precise terms 
see http://libusb.info. In order to meet the license requirements a copy 
of the LGPL as appliccable to Libusb is also provided as part of the 
distribution archive. The LGPL does not apply to the PicoHarp 330 software
as a whole. For the Linux version of the library we also gratefully acknowledge 
the use of GNU/Linux as a development platform, as well as using the Tux logo 
(thanks to Larry Ewing, lewing@isc.tamu.edu and The GIMP) on the title page 
of the PH330Lib for Linux manual.
