Announcement text given by the package's contributor:
- - ----------------------------------------------------------------------
In 1990, Gerard Kuiken published extended patterns for hyphenation of US
English (TUGboat 11(1)). Gerard has now graciously agreed to release
them under a Debian/FSF free license, hence this update.
The patterns themselves are unchanged since 1990, though Gerard may
release updates in the future for other incorrect hyphenations which
have come to light.
The ushyphmax.tex file was previously known as ushyphen.max.
Thanks Gerard!
Happy hyphenating,
Karl Berry (just the release droid)

ushyph – US hyphenation patterns
Knuth's hyphenation patterns for English in American orthography (his hyphen.tex) appear here as ushyph1.tex; these patterns will be installed for the default language in any conventional TeX distribution.
In 1990, extended patterns for hyphenation of US English were published (TUGboat 11(1)). They appear here as ushyphen.tex (the basic set) and ushyphmax.tex (a set that is believed to find all admissable hyphenation points).
