The original text of "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer" by Mark Twain is in
the public domain.
However, the eBook version from Project Gutenberg is non-free due to
restrictions on commercial use (specifically clauses 1.E.7, 1.E.8, and
1.E.9 of the Project Gutenberg License).
To make this file free, this commit removes all references to the Project
Gutenberg in accordance with clause 1.C of the Project Gutenberg License.
