There are two possibilities to include source code in IRIT distribution:

1. Release all rights on the code to the original developer of IRIT. This
   means that the code will become part of the regular distribution and
   will be completely support by us from now on. It means, for example,
   that this C code will be compiled as part of the regular makefiles of
   IRIT. The original owner is Gershon Elber, Technion, Israel.

2. Keep rights on the code. In this mode, the C code will be include as
   part of the contrib directory and will be part of the regular IRIT
   distribution. However, it will not be compiled regularly, nor will it
   be supported.

In both modes, all the author(s) of the source code will obviously be
acknowledged.
