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, except to +update the most recent copyright date. + +(Begin) + +Copyright (C) 1985, 2002, + The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York. + All rights reserved. + +PERMISSIONS: + +The C-Kermit software may be obtained directly from the Kermit Project at +Columbia University (or from any source explicitly licensed by the Kermit +Project or implicitly licensed by Clause (A) below) by any individual for +his or her OWN USE, and by any company or other organization for its own +INTERNAL DISTRIBUTION and use, including installation on servers that are +accessed by customers or clients, WITHOUT EXPLICIT LICENSE. + +Conditions for REDISTRIBUTION are as follows: + +(A) The C-Kermit software, in source and/or binary form, may be + included WITHOUT EXPLICIT LICENSE in distributions of OPERATING + SYSTEMS that have OSI (Open Source Initiative, www.opensource.org) + approved licenses, even if non-Open-Source applications (but not + operating systems) are included in the same distribution. Such + distributions include, but are not limited to, CD-ROM, FTP site, + Web site, or preinstalled software on a new GENERAL-PURPOSE + computer, as long as the primary character of the distribution is + an Open Source operating system with accompanying utilities.
