This is great news, indeed. Obviously, the new upstream must make sure that each copyright holder agrees on this clarification... -- Today is the tomorrow you worried about yesterday. ..

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist * Package name: socket++ Version : 1.12.12 Upstream Author : Gnanasekaran(Sekar) Swaminathan [EMAIL PROTECTED], Herbert Straub [EMAIL PROTECTED] * URL : http://www.linuxhacker.at/socketxx * License : Pasted below with License Statement Description : lightweight convenience library to handle low level BSD sockets in C++ Socket++ library defines a family of C++ classes that can be used more effectively than directly calling the underlying low-level system functions. One distinct advantage of the socket++ is that it has the same interface as that of the iostream so that the users can perform type-safe input output. See your local IOStream library documentation for more information on iostreams. . Development of the original socket++ died some years ago, and a new upstream has taken control. The original socket++ ended at version 1.11. Lauri Nurmi modified the source code to make Socket++ compile with recent GCC under linux. This version is fork of the code from Lauri Nurmi which was just some enhancements to make it standard conforming at version 1.11. - -- License Original Copyright Notice: Permission is granted to use at your own risk and distribute this software in source and binary forms provided the above copyright notice and this paragraph are preserved on all copies.
