  If the program does terminal interaction, make it output a short

The hypothetical commands `show w' and `show c' should show the appropriate
parts of the General Public License.  Of course, your program's commands
might be different; for a GUI interface, you would use an "about box".

  You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or school,
if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if necessary.

  The GNU General Public License does not permit incorporating your program
into proprietary programs.  If your program is a subroutine library, you
may consider it more useful to permit linking proprietary applications with
the library.  If this is what you want to do, use the GNU Lesser General
Public License instead of this License.  But first, please read

lib/Alien/Autotools.pm  view on Meta::CPAN

This module looks for minimum versions of the tools that make up the "GNU build
system": version 2.68 of C<autoconf>, version 1.11.0 of C<automake>, and version
2.4.0 of C<libtool>. For each tool that is not found or below the minimum
version, it is downloaded, compiled and installed it to the B<Alien-Autotools>
distribution's shared directory. Compilation can be made to happen regardless
of whether minimum versions are already found by setting the  environment
variable, C<COMPILE_ALIEN_AUTOTOOLS>, to a true value.

Tool source archives are downloaded from the official GNU FTP server,
L<ftp://ftp.gnu.org/>.
