<title>What for</title>
<para>
Primarily it was written for myself to help to create portable software.
So if you are:
<itemizedlist>
<listitem>
<para>
porting existing UNIX software to native win32 platform,
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
writing portable software,
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
writing pure windows software but understanding that EventLog sucks and looking for an alternative
</para>
</listitem>
</itemizedlist>
then I hope that this stuff will be useful for you too.
</para>
<para>
Of course, you may just use the daemon as the network message collector.
But I think that any UNIX alternative is much better.
Not because this stuff is not so good (I hope), just because the underlying system is better.
</para>

<section>
<title>Legal issues</title>
<para>
The source code of the daemon and the client library IS NOT COPYRIGHTED
and is offered for use in the public domain.
You may use, modify or distribute it freely.
</para>
<para>
However, the project includes syslog header file, logger utility and the test based on it.
This stuff is distributed under the
<ulink url="http://www.opensource.org/licenses/bsd-license.php">BSD license</ulink>.
</para>
<para>
The daemon uses <ulink url="http://www.gtk.org/">Glib</ulink>,
<ulink url="http://www.gnu.org/software/libiconv/">libiconv</ulink> and
<ulink url="http://www.gnu.org/software/gettext/">libintl</ulink>
libraries and the binary distribution includes them under the
<ulink url="http://www.opensource.org/licenses/lgpl-license.php">LGPL license</ulink>.
