 goircd is very simple IRC server, written on Go.
 It is heavily inspired by miniircd daemon written on Python.
+GoVPN is free software: see the file COPYING for copying conditions.
 It does not aim to replace full featured mass scalable IRC networks:
 
 * It can not connect to other servers. Just standalone installation
 * It has few basic IRC commands
 * There is no support for channel operators, modes, votes, invites
-  and so on
-* No ident lookups, reverse DNS queries
