+Purpose of this release:

+This release under a new license is numbered 2.2.0. It is almost identical to
+the 2.1.30 release The Open Group made available to customers in 1999 but with
+additional improvements to allow it to build under Linux. It's not called
+2.1.30 to avoid confusion with versions of 2.1.30 not built from the open source
+code.
