    26 <h2> Introduction </h2>
    27 
    28 <p> The libcaca library is a graphics library that outputs text instead of
    29 pixels, so that it can work on older video cards or text terminals. It is not
    30 unlike the famous <a href="http://aa-project.sourceforge.net/aalib/">AAlib</a>
    31 library, with the following improvements:
    32 
    33 <ul>
    34   <li> Unicode support </li>
    35   <li> 4096 available colours (some devices can only handle 16) </li>
    36   <li> dithering of colour images </li>
    37   <li> advanced text canvas operations (blitting, rotations) </li>
    38 </ul>
    39 
    40 <p> Libcaca works in a text terminal (and should thus work on all Unix
    41 systems including Mac OS X) using the S-Lang or ncurses libraries. It also
    42 works natively on DOS and Windows.
    43 
    44 <p> Libcaca is <a href="http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html">free
    45 software</a>, and can be used, modified and distributed under the terms of the
    46 <a href="http://sam.zoy.org/wtfpl/">Do What The Fuck You Want To Public
    47 License</a>. The logo on this page is copyrighted by Akira Toriyama so if
    48 anyone fancies drawing a new logo it would be much appreciated. </p>

    50 <h2> Screenshots </h2>

    372 
    373 <blockquote><p>
    374 Que dites-vous ?... C’est inutile ?... Je le sais !
    375 <br />Mais on ne se bat pas dans l’espoir du succès !
    376 <br />Non ! non, c’est bien plus beau lorsque c’est inutile !

    380 <p> I am perfectly aware that libcaca is the waste of time it looks to be. No
    381 need to tell me about that. I urge you to read Théophile Gautier’s preface to
    382 <i>Mademoiselle de Maupin</i>, which also gives an excellent explanation for
    383 the name “libcaca”: </p>
    384 
    385 <blockquote><p>
    386 Il n’y a rien de vraiment beau que ce qui ne peut servir à rien ; tout ce
    387 qui est utile est laid ; car c’est l’expression de quelque besoin ; et ceux
    388 de l’homme sont ignobles et dégoûtants, comme sa pauvre et infirme nature. -
    389 L’endroit le plus utile d’une maison, ce sont les latrines.
    390 </p></blockquote>
    391 
    392 <p> As for the name “libcucul”, please refer to the pioneer of modernist
    393 Polish fiction: </p>
    394 
    395 <blockquote><p>
    396 Mais contre le cucul, il n’y a pas de refuge. Courez après moi
    397 si vous voulez, je m’enfuis la gueule entre les mains. Et voilà,
    398 tralala, Zut à celui qui le lira !
    399 <br /><small> -- Witold Gombrowicz, <i>Ferdydurke</i> </small>

     102<p> By the way, the old libcaca (all versions up to 0.9) was under the
     103restrictive LGPL license. Though I got permission from all copyright holders
     104to relicence the current codebase under the WTFPL, such a permission is not
     105retroactive and you should consider old versions as still covered by the LGPL.
