+THE C-KERMIT 7.0 LICENSE
+
+  Last update: Sat Jan  1 10:47:35 2000
+
+This is the new C-Kermit 7.0 license.  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.
+

+  TRUSTEES OF COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY IN THE CITY OF NEW YORK AS TO ITS

+  HEREAFTER ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.  YOU SHALL
+  INDEMNIFY AND HOLD HARMLESS THE TRUSTEES OF COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY IN
+  THE CITY OF NEW YORK, ITS EMPLOYEES AND AGENTS FROM AND AGAINST ANY
+  AND ALL CLAIMS, DEMANDS, LOSS, DAMAGE OR EXPENSE (INCLUDING
+  ATTORNEYS' FEES) ARISING OUT OF YOUR USE OF THIS SOFTWARE.
