Still not quite right. This doesn't deal with the fact that xforms might
come on the same media as the program. I think John or Richard mentioned
this problem. Try:
You may, at your option and for the purposes of distributing this program in
object code or executable form under Section 3 of the GNU General Public
License, assume that the complete source code for this program does not
include the xforms library (Copyright (c) by T.C. Zhao and Mark Overmars).
If you choose not to excercise this option, you may distribute this software
only under the terms of the GNU General Public License and may remove this
paragraph.
