- THE C-KERMIT 7.0 LICENSE
- Last update: Sat Jan 8 16:20:45 2000
- This is the new C-Kermit 7.0 license. The intention is to allow C-Kermit to
- be distributed with "free" operating systems such as GNU/Linux, FreeBSD,
- NetBSD, OpenBSD, The Hurd, etc, even when the distributions themselves (such
- as Red Hat or Caldera) might be sold and/or might include applications that
- are not free, and yet still require a license to include C-Kermit in or with
- "non-free" products such as commercial OS's, commercial software packages,
- embedded systems, and hardware (other than general-purpose computers
- preloaded with "free" operating systems), since these licenses furnish a
- large portion of the Kermit Project's funding.
- There have been some questions about the provision in Clause (A) that:
- The
- C-Kermit source code may not be changed without the consent of the
- Kermit Project, which will not be unreasonably withheld (this is
- simply a matter of keeping a consistent and supportable code base).
- The intention of this clause is primarily to make sure that anybody who
- makes modifications sends them back to us, since we are the ones have to
- support C-Kermit, and so we can carry them through to future releases (so
- you don't have to make the same changes again and again).
- Secondarily it is to protect Columbia University in the unlikely event of
- modifications made with deliberate intent to offend or cause damage.
- Any redistributor of C-Kermit under Clause (A) below should rest assured
- there is no intention of preventing them from constructing a distribution in
- the appropriate format (RPM or whatever) for their product or from issuing
- any patches required for their products; we simply want to be informed so we
- can maintain a consistent code base and a solid, supportable software
- package. We are happy to work with any redistributor an any issues that
- concern them. If you have questions, send them to kermit@columbia.edu.
- Note: All changes to this file since 1 January 2000 (the C-Kermit 7.0
- release date) are above; the license itself has not changed.

- operating systems) are included in the same distribution. Such
