Oh damn, I really hope you and your family are going to be safe if you're facing wildfires near you.. Here in Eastern Europe it's not really that much of an issue, thankfully. > remember the original NCSA httpd licence. P.S.

It's pretty much a mistery to me too, seems like the original "License" if you could call it that is nothing more than: " Copyright (C) 2022 by Jef Poskanzer <j...@mail.acme.com>. All rights reserved. You may use this software however you like as long as you keep my name on it and don't sue me. " This is the current license (Author:So what does the legalese mean? This is a modified version of the BSD license). I'll try to dig a bit more about original source code license, if any other than the above was ever present :) Yeah, archeology indeed, I've had the same issue,believe it or not, when porting a certain version of a vintage telnet library from the 80s on modern hardware. Fun times, indeed Stay safe and good luck !
