THE C-KERMIT 7.0 LICENSE
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Last update: Sat Jan 1 10:47:35 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.

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. 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).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
(B) Inclusion of C-Kermit software in whole or in part, in any form, in
|
||
|
|
or with any product not covered by Clause (A), or its distribution
|
||
|
|
by any commercial enterprise to its actual or potential customers
|
||
|
|
or clients except as in Clause (A), requires a license from the
|
||
|
|
Kermit Project, Columbia University; contact kermit@columbia.edu.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The name of Columbia University may not be used to endorse or promote
|
||
|
|
products derived from or including the C-Kermit software without specific
|
||
|
|
prior written permission.
