The intention is to allow C-Kermit to +be distributed with "free" operating systems such as GNU/Linux, FreeBSD, +NetBSD, OpenBSD, The Hurd, etc, even when the distributions themselves (such +as Red Hat or Caldera) might be sold and/or might include applications that +are not free, and yet still require a license to include C-Kermit in or with +"non-free" products such as commercial OS's, commercial software packages, +embedded systems, and hardware (other than general-purpose computers +preloaded with "free" operating systems), since these licenses furnish a +large portion of the Kermit Project's funding. + +(Begin) + +Copyright (C) 1985, 2000, + The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York. + All rights reserved. + +PERMISSIONS: + +The C-Kermit software may be obtained directly from the Kermit Project at +Columbia University (or from any source explicitly licensed by the Kermit +Project or implicitly licensed by Clause (A) below) by any individual for +his or her OWN USE, and by any company or other organization for its own +INTERNAL DISTRIBUTION and use, including installation on servers that are +accessed by customers or clients, WITHOUT EXPLICIT LICENSE. + +Conditions for REDISTRIBUTION are as follows: + +(A) The C-Kermit software, in source and/or binary form, may be + included WITHOUT EXPLICIT LICENSE in distributions of OPERATING + SYSTEMS that have OSI (Open Source Initiative, www.opensource.org) + approved licenses, even if non-Open-Source applications (but not + operating systems) are included in the same distribution. Such + distributions include, but are not limited to, CD-ROM, FTP site, + Web site, or preinstalled software on a new GENERAL-PURPOSE + computer, as long as the primary character of the distribution is + an Open Source operating system with accompanying utilities. The + C-Kermit source code may not be changed without the consent of the + Kermit Project, which will not be unreasonably withheld (this is + simply a matter of keeping a consistent and supportable code base). + +(B) Inclusion of C-Kermit software in whole or in part, in any form, in + or with any product not covered by Clause (A), or its distribution + by any commercial enterprise to its actual or potential customers + or clients except as in Clause (A), requires a license from the + Kermit Project, Columbia University; contact kermit@columbia.edu. + +The name of Columbia University may not be used to endorse or promote +products derived from or including the C-Kermit software without specific +prior written permission. + +DISCLAIMER: + + THIS SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED AS IS, WITHOUT REPRESENTATION FROM THE + TRUSTEES OF COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY IN THE CITY OF NEW YORK AS TO ITS + FITNESS FOR ANY PURPOSE, AND WITHOUT WARRANTY BY THE TRUSTEES OF + COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY IN THE CITY OF NEW YORK OF ANY KIND, EITHER + EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION THE IMPLIED + WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. + THE TRUSTEES OF COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY IN THE CITY OF NEW YORK SHALL NOT + BE LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGES, INCLUDING SPECIAL, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, + OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, WITH RESPECT TO ANY CLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR + IN CONNECTION WITH THE USE OF THE SOFTWARE, EVEN IF IT HAS BEEN OR IS + HEREAFTER ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
