Licence
Permission is granted to any person to copy and redistribute for free this program and its documentation, with the condition that all copies are unmodified and include documentation and this licence.

The software is provided "as is", without warranty of any kind, express or implied. In no event shall the author be liable for any claim, or other liability, whether in an action of tort or otherwise, arising from, out of, or in connection with the software.

Before posting the fixtures for a sporting competition on the internet, you should check to see if you require permission from the league to reproduce their fixtures, as copyright exists in most cases - this is why no fixtures are included with Wests.
