Yes, that was a concern of mine at first as well, but I decided to pursue it at least for my own use. And then when I went to retrieve the sourcecode tarballs I discovered his license change affecting both djbdns and daemontools. Fortuitous, sort of a belated Christmas present. (for those unaware, DJBernstein's software was always available under a 'non-license' that permitted source-code redistribution only, but on 28Dec07 he placed djbdns and daemontools, and other packages on other days, into the public domain, so that distribution of a modified binary is now permissible) j > > kind regards > > > -- > > Joachim Steiger > Openmoko Central Services > > _______________________________________________ > Openmoko community mailing list > community@lists.openmoko.org > http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community _______________________________________________ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
