<p>
ngIRCd is a free open source server for Internet Relay Chat (IRC),
which is being developed under the GNU General Public License
- (<a href="http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl.html" hreflang="en">GPL</a>).
+ (<a href="doc/COPYING" hreflang="en">GPL</a>).
It has been written from scratch and is consequently, unlike most
other IRC daemons, not based on the originator, the daemon of the
IRCNet.
+</p>
+<p>
+ The name <em>ngIRCd</em> means <em>next generation IRC daemon</em>,
+ which is a little bit exaggerated: <em>lightweight Internet Relay Chat
+ server</em> most probably would be a better name :-)

<em>Hint:</em>

update notifications via E-Mail.
