This software was written from scratch, line by line by James Gardner. It is
designed to replace the Perl modules and CGI scripts distributed with
mod_auth_tkt.

Just to save any complications this software is currently licensed under the
same license as mod_auth_tkt which can be found below but if I have time I
might investigate a more standard Open Source license instead.
