Someone correct me if I'm wrong but it is my belief that Kermit is
freely distributable but *NOT* Public Domain.   Public domain means
I can do ANYTHING I want with it INCLUDING selling it in part or in it
entirety.   Kermit, I believe, has a copyright from Columbia U. plus
you need to sign an agreement with Columbia U if you want to use
Kermit in a commercial product.   Sorry, but I've seen this too many
time to let it go by now.
