VERA

(Virtual Entity of Relevant Acronyms)


Legal and Attribution Issues:

I, Robbie Hatley, did not write this file. This file is apparently the work of someone named "Oliver Heidelbach" at email address "ohei at snafu dot de", though I very much suspect he had a lot of help from a lot of other people, considering the size and complexity of this project. I include this file on my web site for its utility, and as a tribute to the hard work if its authors. I was not involved in its creation, so I can take neither credit nor blame for it.

This particular copy of VERA contains some minor alterations to the headers, tailers, and html formatting of to the original document, in order to make it fit into my web site properly, but is otherwise unaltered. I do not intend to correct this file file even if asked. If it has errors, too bad; live with them.

Also be aware that I have not read the "license" Mr. Heidelbach refers to below, and I do not know (or much care) whether or not this copy of VERA is fully compliant with all applicable American, German, and International copyright laws, rules, regulations, and treaties. If the copyright holder contacts me and complains, I may consider altering or deleting this copy if requested to do so. Otherwise, I don't give a damn.


This is a special GNU edition of V.E.R.A.,
a list dealing with computational acronyms.
