! 4: The inclusion of this library with PHP is in response to the
! 5: popularity of the GD extension and the GD library itself. We felt

! 13: a sandbox for them to throw sand at each other in. Any and all
! 14: improvements we make to the GD library will be contributed back to the
! 15: original maintainers of this library at boutell.com.
