More importantly, the package is useful in +defining macros whose name is composed of right-to-left characters and in +minimizing mixed directionality text in right-to-left documents. + +This package may be distributed and/or modified under the LaTeX Project Public +License (LPPL), version 1.3 or higher (your choice).
