The University of Illinois has a license to redistribute MacTCP in conjunction
with its software.  My understanding of the license is that "its software"
includes Eudora and NCSA Telnet (though NCSA chooses not to redistribute
MacTCP).

A copy of MacTCP obtained from UIUC can ONLY be used in conjunction with
UIUC products.  If you want to run tn3270 or MacX, you are supposed to
use a DIFFERENT copy of MacTCP.

This is exactly the sort of license that Apple gives to people who want
to redistribute system software.

I do not wish to start a discussion on the reasonableness or enforceability
of the agreement; I just want to set the record straight on the license
as I understand it.

OPINION: I am grateful to Apple for the terms of our license.  It is nice
to be able to distribute the complete Eudora package.

If there's a newer version than 1.0.1, I'd like to know about it.
