+FLINT (Fast Library for Number Theory) is a C library in support of
+computations in number theory. It's also a research project into
+algorithms in number theory.
+
+FLINT supports arithmetic with numbers, polynomials, power series and
+matrices over many base rings, including:
+ * Multiprecision integers and rationals
+ * Integers modulo n
+ * p-adic numbers
+ * Finite fields (prime and non-prime order)
+ * Real and complex numbers (via the Arb extension library)
+
+FLINT was licensed GPL v2+ up to and including version 2.5. New version
+are licensed LGPL v2.1+.
