#In a previos posting, ce1zzes@prim.gatech.edu was wondering why PC-NFS
#and NCSA telnet don't get along.   I was also wondering that and would
#like to know if it was possible to use the PC-NFS programers toolkit to
#make NCSA Telnet use the PC-NFS drivers.  I myself don't have this
#product (PC-NFS toolkit), I have only heard about it.  I don't know if
#it would be legal to distribute the binaries without paying a royality
#to Sun.  Would anyone care to shed some light on this?

You cannot redistribute the .H, .OBJ and .LIB files that
we ship as part of the PC-NFS Programmer's Toolkit. You can,
however, distribute any application which you build with
these libraries in any way that you see fit; no royalties
are involved.

For example, Clarkson has implemented a version of CUTE (their
derivative of NCSA Telnet) which was built with the PC-NFS PTK
and runs over PC-NFS. They can distribute this in any way, and
in fact chose to make it freely available via FTP.
