Hi Dean,
Gromacs is indeed GPL, but since I'm the author there too I can
license StressCPU under different terms.
StressCPU is just a small hack that we've used to test our clusters
before production, so you can consider it to be in the public domain,
or X11/BSD if you really want a license. I'll try to update the code
with some a license file.
It was a while ago that I wrote it, so from CPU-heating point-of-view
I am no longer sure if there are alternatives that could run chips
even hotter now. I've heard good things about SuperPi, but the reason
we still stick to StressCPU is that it is not only heating the CPU,
but also checking the results to look for heating-related problems.
Cheers,
Erik

hi ...
i'd like to propose adding stresscpu to a debian package... but
there's no
license specified in the files available from here:
http://www.gromacs.org/contributed_by_users/task,doc_details/gid,14/
i'm guessing since it's derived from gromacs and gromacs is GPL
that the
license is probably GPL... but could you possibly release it with an
explicit license so the debian folks can package it?
thanks!

p.s. alternately you can probably just respond with the license in
email
and cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] so they have a record of your response.
