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.
