I especially like the bit that says 1.1. Licensing MPPC can only be used in products that implement the Point to Point Protocol AND for the sole purpose of interoperating with other MPPC and Point to Point Protocol implementations. Source and object licenses are available on a non-discriminatory basis from Stac Electronics. Please contact: Cheryl Poland Stac Electronics 12636 High Bluff Drive, San Deigo, CA 92130 Phone: (619)794-4534 Email: cherylp@stac.com I contacted Cheryl and she told me that I was *not* allowed to = implement the algorithm without a license and that a license was only = available under NDA - ie, if I write the code, it can't be free. If anyone can convince Stac to give me a license, I'll write the code. > Kent [.....] -- = Brian <brian@Awfulhak.org> <brian@FreeBSD.org> <http://www.Awfulhak.org>; <brian@OpenBSD.org> Don't _EVER_ lose your sense of humour ! <brian@FreeBSD.org.uk> To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
