>Fred Fish and Daniel Kegel included specific license text in >their contributions that limit use to Personal, Noncommercial. Dan Kegel's pretty easy to find in the free software world; if you ask him he may be willing to relicense under the same license everyone else on the project uses.
>The licensing from Don Kneller has not yet been established. It's worth noting -- given how old the original releases of this program were -- that contributions which were (1) published (2) in the United States (3) by US authors (4) prior to the passage of the Berne Convention Implementation Act (which I think was 1988 but you'd have to check) (5) without a copyright notice are in the public domain. This doesn't come up too often because most free software was written after 1988. But if all of Don Kneller's contributions were in a release released prior to the BCIA passage (and he was in the US, etc., and he didn't add a copyright notice on his behalf), then his contributions are public domain. Probably it will turn out he added something in 1988 or later, of course. -- Nathanael Nerode <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> "(Instead, we front-load the flamewars and grudges in the interest of efficiency.)" --Steve Lanagasek, http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2005/09/msg01056.html -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
