There are other examples, more | relevant to the world at large (since my TIP mods were a case of RTM anyway). | What about Sendmail? I **know** there is no AT&T code in it; the IDA Sendmail | Enhancement Kit makes Sendmail into a generally useful UUCP/Internet mailer, | with lots of great nifties -- but you need the Sendmail source to install the | patches. Sendmail is (was?) available for public FTP a while back, so that | all those ARPA sites could get at the MX-record version. Was this proper, if | BSD code has to be treated as AT&T code ("all reasonable protections...") ?? | | According to an article from John Gilmore a long while back, CSRG distributed | a list of AT&T vs. non-AT&T files with the 4.3 release. I havn't seen this | list, but it sounds like they (CSRG) are trying to move away from the | "keep everything under the AT&T license" position. +--------------- Yes, please do. Ncoast, at the very least, would benefit from sendmail. (And, that comment is valid whether you attach "at the very least" to "ncoast" or to "sendmail".) Maybe someone involved with the CSRG should stick his head into the discussion? ++Brandon -- Copyright (C) 1987 Brandon S. Allbery.
