The "rules" for copyrighted software in comp.sources.unix are remarkably simple: Any reader must be able to compile and use the source anywhere they want, without having to pay for it. They must be able to pass it along to someone else. There must be no time limits (archive sites are forever). -- Please send comp.sources.unix-related mail to rsalz@uunet.uu.net.
