-ngIRCd is an Open Source server for the Internet Relay Chat (IRC), which
-is developed and published under the terms of the GNU General Public
-Licence, see the file COPYING for details. ngIRCd means "next generation
-IRC daemon" (which is a little bit exaggerated, "lightweight Internet Relay
-Chat server" would be better), it's written from scratch and not deduced
-from the "grandfather of IRC daemons", the daemon of the IRCNet.
