This Finnish hyphenation dictionary for the ALTLinux LibHnj library
was converted in 2003-11-03 by Jarno Elonen <elonen@iki.fi>
from TeX hyphenation patterns in "fihyph.tex" as described at
http://lingucomponent.openoffice.org/hyphenator.html.

The changes made by me (Jarno Elonen) are rather mechanical
but just in case some of them would be regarded copyrighted
works: I hereby donate all my modifications to the dictionary
as well as this README file, to the Public Domain.

Hence, this whole package is placed into the Public Domain.

Here are the acknowledgements and change log from the
original pattern file:

  + January 1986: first release by Kauko Saarinen,
    Computing Centre, University of Jyvaskyla, Finland

  + January 1988: completely rewritten by Kauko Saarinen.
    The new patterns make much less mistakes with foreign
    and compound words. The article "Automatic Hyphenation
    of Finnish" by Professor Fred Karlsson is also referred

  + 8th March 1989 (vers. 2.2): some vowel triples added by
    Kauko Saarinen based on Fred Karlsson's ideas

  + 9th January 1995: added \uccode and \lccode by Thomas Esser

  + 24th May 2004: changelog reformatted for disambiguation and
    Thomas Esser's \[u/l]ccode changes complete rewritten to make
    certain Saarinen is the sole copyright owner of the file again,
    by Jarno Elonen (who donated all his modification works into
    the Public Domain.)

  + 24th May 2004: rewrote donated into the Public Domain
    by Kauko Saarinen
