+All scripts surrendered to the knewsticker scripts section which are
+distributed WITH KDE are subject to the licensing restrictions of the KDE
+project. Should you use any of those scripts in conjuction with any KDE
+product you are also subject to their licensing. If the script is used
+without a KDE affiliation , if not other stated within the script, or if no
+co author is present, those scripts are believed to be in the public domain.
+
+Please ensure, that you implement proper error handling within your scripts.
+The error handling is important for those, who might be using your script,
+but have no real understanding of the underlying structure. Since
+Knewsticker is a graphical application it relies on the error codes it gets
+from your script to display proper error messages to the end user.
+
+The current set of error messages and how to use them can be found in the
+documenation. You can find the documentation at:
+http://spoon.pkl.net/~backpane/knews/
+
+If you have questions concerning the precommands or if you want to have
+certain features implemented into Knewsticker, please contact the
+Knewsticker precommand scripts maintainer at dlanx@kde.org, who will talk to
+the Knewsticker author for you, or contact him directly at raabe@kde.org.
+
+Thank you.
