received from Dr Reingold, author of Calendrical Calculations.

The code is not under GPL. We make it freely available for non-commercial
use, but want a formal licensing agreement for commercial use. In the case of
Perl, we'd be interested in doing what we did for Mathematica and Java: trade
the license for code that we could distribute.
