No. Basically, you can freely distribute binary versions of his software if installing it produces the same results that would be obtained by installing it from source. This includes installation directories (which can actually be anywhere if symlinks are used). See his pages for more info: http://cr.yp.to/qmail/dist.html http://cr.yp.to/distributors.html This only covers his software that is not public domain. The cdb library, libtai, the djbdns library and all the required libraries (basically all of them) are public domain. For the record: I am a fan of Dan Bernstein's work because it is excellent. His code, writings, math and cryptography work are top-notch. I also applaud him fighting for our freedoms in his court case, Bernstein v. United States. -- David Phillips <david at acz.org> http://david.acz.org/ _______________________________________________ TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota http://www.mn-linux.org tclug-list at mn-linux.org https://mailman.real-time.com/mailman/listinfo/tclug-list
