Annotation of embedaddon/php/ext/gd/libgd/README, revision 1.1

        !             2: http://www.boutell.com/gd/
        !             3: 
        !             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
        !             6: it would be worthwhile to make sure everyone had access to the
        !             7: features of GD and by bundling GD with PHP we have a known target to
        !             8: work against.

        !            10: In addition to the above, a number of motivated PHP hackers have
        !            11: expressed an interest in extending the functionality of the PHP-GD
        !            12: combination.  By putting a version of GD into PHP CVS we have provided
        !            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
