+Regarding the MPI library, the README file in the mpi-1.8.6.tar.gz
+archive states:
+
+ This software is in the public domain. It is entirely free, and you
+ may use it and/or redistribute it for whatever purpose you choose;
+ however, as free software, it is provided without warranty of any
+ kind, not even the implied warranty of merchantability or fitness for
+ a particular purpose.
+
+Whether or not software can be explicitly deposited into the public domain is
+legally questionable, so the MPI library must be regarded as being copyrighted
+by Michael J. Fromberger. The above text can be reasonably understood to
+constitute a license which is compatible with the TXR LICENSE file
+in the sense that it is at least as permissive.
