+Gnuplot is a command-line driven interactive function plotting utility
+for UNIX, MSDOS, and VMS platforms. The software is copyrighted but
+freely distributed (i.e., you don't have to pay for it). It was
+originally intended as graphical program which would allow scientists
+and students to visualize mathematical functions and data. Gnuplot
+supports many different types of terminals, plotters, and printers
+(including many color devices, and pseudo-devices like LaTeX) and is
+easily extensible to include new devices. [ The "GNU" in gnuplot is
+NOT related to the Free Software Foundation, the naming is just a
+coincidence (and a long story). Thus gnuplot is not covered by the Gnu
+copyleft, but rather by its own copyright statement, included in all
+source code files.]
