hanging around in a binary RPM on Mate W.'s site... either it's OK or
Dan doesn't care enough...

umm, isn't libtai part of the cyclog package as it is? and
I just extend the fairly clearly described qmail license to the other
djb products: a binary distribution which installs the same as if it
was compiled (unpatched) from the tarball, and it behaves the same can be
distributed w/o getting djb's personal permission.

For *qmail*. See the Subject of this message.
Yeah, sorry about that.

I'm fairly sure that Dan's software is not in the public domain. It

I have looked for the license to daemontools, but it is not in the
daemontools tarball, and it is not on the daemontools web page. What
is the license for redistributing daemontools?
