## What Packeteer is _not_
* a TCP/UDP stream handling library

## A note on licensing
This library changed from the LGPLv3 to MPLv2 as a result of LGPL's requirements for freedom of source on static linking which rustc does.
I've chosen to use the MPL as it is a weaker but still copyleft license that allows you to statically link.
The MPL applies retroactively to all previous versions of this library and will be used for all future versions.
