+          pertain to any part of the Derivative Works, in at least one
+          of the following places: within a NOTICE text file distributed
+          as part of the Derivative Works; within the Source form or
+          documentation, if provided along with the Derivative Works; or,

+          notices within Derivative Works that You distribute, alongside
+          or as an addendum to the NOTICE text from the Work, provided
+          that such additional attribution notices cannot be construed
+          as modifying the License.
+
+      You may add Your own copyright statement to Your modifications and
+      may provide additional or different license terms and conditions
+      for use, reproduction, or distribution of Your modifications, or
+      for any such Derivative Works as a whole, provided Your use,
+      reproduction, and distribution of the Work otherwise complies with
+      the conditions stated in this License.
+
+   5. Submission of Contributions. Unless You explicitly state otherwise,
+      any Contribution intentionally submitted for inclusion in the Work
+      by You to the Licensor shall be under the terms and conditions of
+      this License, without any additional terms or conditions.
+      Notwithstanding the above, nothing herein shall supersede or modify
+      the terms of any separate license agreement you may have executed
+      with Licensor regarding such Contributions.
+
+   6. Trademarks. This License does not grant permission to use the trade
+      names, trademarks, service marks, or product names of the Licensor,
+      except as required for reasonable and customary use in describing the
+      origin of the Work and reproducing the content of the NOTICE file.
+
+   7. Disclaimer of Warranty. Unless required by applicable law or
+      agreed to in writing, Licensor provides the Work (and each
+      Contributor provides its Contributions) on an "AS IS" BASIS,
+      WITHOUT WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, either express or
+      implied, including, without limitation, any warranties or conditions
+      of TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY, or FITNESS FOR A
+      PARTICULAR PURPOSE. You are solely responsible for determining the
+      appropriateness of using or redistributing the Work and assume any
+      risks associated with Your exercise of permissions under this License.
+
+   8. Limitation of Liability. In no event and under no legal theory,
+      whether in tort (including negligence), contract, or otherwise,
+      unless required by applicable law (such as deliberate and grossly
+      negligent acts) or agreed to in writing, shall any Contributor be
+      liable to You for damages, including any direct, indirect, special,
+      incidental, or consequential damages of any character arising as a
+      result of this License or out of the use or inability to use the
+      Work (including but not limited to damages for loss of goodwill,
+      work stoppage, computer failure or malfunction, or any and all
+      other commercial damages or losses), even if such Contributor
+      has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
+
+   9. Accepting Warranty or Additional Liability. While redistributing
+      the Work or Derivative Works thereof, You may choose to offer,
+      and charge a fee for, acceptance of support, warranty, indemnity,
+      or other liability obligations and/or rights consistent with this
+      License. However, in accepting such obligations, You may act only
+      on Your own behalf and on Your sole responsibility, not on behalf
+      of any other Contributor, and only if You agree to indemnify,
+      defend, and hold each Contributor harmless for any liability
+      incurred by, or claims asserted against, such Contributor by reason
+      of your accepting any such warranty or additional liability.

+-- Module: HFlags
+-- License: Apache 2.0
+--
+-- The @HFlags@ library supports easy definition of command line flags,
+-- reimplementing the ideas from Google's @gflags@
+-- (<http://code.google.com/p/gflags>).
+--
+-- Command line flags can be declared in any file at the toplevel,
+-- using 'defineFlag'.  At runtime, the actual values are assigned to
+-- the toplevel @flags_name@ constants.  Those can be used purely
+-- throughout the program.
+--
+-- At the beginning of the @main@ function, @$(initHFlags "program
+-- description")@ has to be called to initialize the flags.  All flags
+-- will be initialized that are transitively reachable via imports
+-- from @main@.  This means, that any Haskell package can easily
+-- define command line flags with @HFlags@.  This feature is
+-- demonstrated by
+-- <http://github.com/errge/hflags/blob/master/examples/ImportExample.hs>.
+--
+-- A simple example (more in the
+-- <http://github.com/errge/hflags/tree/master/examples> directory):
+--
+-- > #!/usr/bin/env runhaskell
+-- >
+-- > {-# LANGUAGE TemplateHaskell #-}
+-- >
+-- > import HFlags
+-- >
+-- > defineFlag "name" "Indiana Jones" "Who to greet."
+-- > defineFlag "r:repeat" (3 + 4 :: Int) "Number of times to repeat the message."
+-- >
+-- > main = do s <- $(initHFlags "Simple program v0.1")
+-- >           sequence_ $ replicate flags_repeat greet
+-- >   where
+-- >     greet = putStrLn $ "Hello " ++ flags_name ++ ", very nice to meet you!"
+--
+-- At @initHFlags@ time, the library also tries to gather flags out of
+-- environment variables.  @HFLAGS_verbose=True@ is equivalent to
+-- specify --verbose=True.  This environment feature only works with
+-- long options and the user has to specify a value even for Bools.

+synopsis: Command line flag parser, very similar to Google's gflags
+description:
+  The @HFlags@ library supports easy definition of command line flags,
+  reimplementing the ideas from Google's @gflags@
+  (<http://code.google.com/p/gflags>).
+  .
+  Command line flags can be declared in any file at the toplevel,
+  using 'defineFlag'.  At runtime, the actual values are assigned to
+  the toplevel @flags_name@ constants.  Those can be used purely
+  throughout the program.
+  .
+  At the beginning of the @main@ function, @$(initHFlags "program
+  description")@ has to be called to initialize the flags.  All flags
+  will be initialized that are transitively reachable via imports from
+  @main@.  This means, that any Haskell package can easily define
+  command line flags with @HFlags@.  This feature is demonstrated by
+  <http://github.com/errge/hflags/blob/master/examples/ImportExample.hs>.
+  .
+  A simple example (more in the
+  <http://github.com/errge/hflags/tree/master/examples> directory):
+  .
+  @
+  \#!\/usr\/bin\/env runhaskell
+  .
+  &#x7b;-\# LANGUAGE TemplateHaskell \#-&#x7d;
+  .
+  import HFlags
+  .
+  'defineFlag' \"name\" \"Indiana Jones\" \"Who to greet.\"
+  'defineFlag' \"r:repeat\" (3 + 4 :: Int) \"Number of times to repeat the message.\"
+  .
+  main = do s <- $(initHFlags \"Simple program v0.1\")
+  &#x20;         sequence_ $ replicate flags_repeat greet
+  &#x20; where
+  &#x20;   greet = putStrLn $ \"Hello \" ++ flags_name ++ \", very nice to meet you!\"
+  @
+  .
+  At @initHFlags@ time, the library also tries to gather flags out of
+  environment variables.  @HFLAGS_verbose=True@ is equivalent to
+  specify --verbose=True.  This environment feature only works with
+  long options and the user has to specify a value even for Bools.
