	   the following terms... Permission is hereby	granted for unlimited free 
	   and open distribution of "nUI Release" / "nUI Lite" by anyone in any 
	   form and by any means provided the nUI Release distribution contents 
	   are not altered in any way, are distributed in full with all copyright 
	   statements and licensing terms included and intact and that any 
	   interface the end user is provided for the purpose of downloading nUI

	2) Permission is hereby granted for distribution of the "nUI+", "nUI+
	   Development" and "nUI+ PTR Beta" versions of nUI via the online download
	   service at http://www.wowinterface.com and the copyright holder's own
