I just read Julian's page. What is in the Copyright file, and how Kirk "interprets" it, are two completely different things. According to the copyright, using the code as long as it is not resold as part of a packaged product is perfectly fine. According to Kirk, if someone wants to use it in a "Production ISP System" (to cite one of his examples) they need to negotiate a license from him. To use a single word Kirk: NO. Your copyright is clear about resale of the code (ie: as part of an embedded system used for something). However, it says NOTHING about someone wanting to use the code internally for their own use being restricted based on what they intend to do *INTERNALLY* with it. That's nothing short of incredible, if you ask me. -- -- Karl Denninger (karl@MCS.Net)| MCSNet - Serving Chicagoland and Wisconsin http://www.mcs.net/ | T1's from $600 monthly to FULL DS-3 Service | NEW!
