+Notes
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+The Windows builds provided by PyPI include statically-linked `LASzip`_ support, 
+but do not provide coordinate system support via `GDAL`_ or `libgeotiff`_.  
+Because the Windows binaries provide `LASzip`_ support, which is LGPL, they 
+should be considered LGPL as well.  
+
+If you need coordinate system support, or fully-featured `tools`_, obtain an 
+install via `OSGeo4W`_.  `OSGeo4W`_ does include its own Python 2.5, however, 
+which may what you need, but libLAS' bindings are not tied to any specific 
+Python version (they use `ctypes`_), and you should be able to piece together 
+a system that way.
