+THE C-KERMIT 7.0 AND 8.0 LICENSE
+
+ Last update: Thu Feb 8 17:41:07 2002
+
+This is the new C-Kermit 7.0 and 8.0 license. The intention is to allow
+C-Kermit to be distributed with "free" operating systems such as GNU/Linux,
+FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, The Hurd, etc, even when the distributions
+themselves (such as Red Hat or Caldera) might be sold and/or might include
+applications that are not free, and yet still require a license to include
+C-Kermit in or with "non-free" products such as commercial OS's, commercial
+software packages, embedded systems, and hardware (other than general-purpose
+computers preloaded with "free" operating systems), since these licenses
+furnish a large portion of the Kermit Project's funding.
+
+There have been some questions about the provision in Clause (A) that:
+
+ The
+ C-Kermit source code may not be changed without the consent of the
+ Kermit Project, which will not be unreasonably withheld (this is
+ simply a matter of keeping a consistent and supportable code base).
+
+The intention of this clause is primarily to make sure that anybody who
+makes modifications sends them back to us, since we are the ones have to
+support C-Kermit, and so we can carry them through to future releases (so
+you don't have to make the same changes again and again).
+
+Secondarily it is to protect Columbia University in the unlikely event of
+modifications made with deliberate intent to offend or cause damage.
+
+Any redistributor of C-Kermit under Clause (A) below should rest assured
+there is no intention of preventing them from constructing a distribution in
+the appropriate format (RPM or whatever) for their product or from issuing
+any patches required for their products; we simply want to be informed so we
+can maintain a consistent code base and a solid, supportable software
+package. We are happy to work with any redistributor an any issues that
+concern them. If you have questions, send them to kermit@columbia.edu.
+
+Note: All changes to this file since 1 January 2000 (the C-Kermit 7.0
+release date) are above; the license itself has not changed, except to
+update the most recent copyright date.
