+Anastasis licensing information
+===============================
+
+This file gives an overview of all Anastasis component's licensing and
+of runtime dependencies thereof. For "component" here is meant a set
+of source files which can be retrieved from a single repository.  If
+components consist of sources under different licensing regimes, i.e.
+because we want to enable third party developments to easily integrate
+with Taler, those are described as well.
+
+All Anastasis components are generally released under the Affero
+GPL.
