1 | This collection started life called the "misc" package, |
2 | but was renamed to "cygutils" at version 0.9.5. | |
3 | ||
4 | Many of these utilities require the popt | |
5 | library, available here: | |
6 | ftp://ftp.rpm.org/pub/rpm/test-4.0.1/popt-1.6.1.tar.gz | |

8 | A Note on Licenseing: | |
9 | -------------------------------------- | |
10 | Since this package consists of many small utilities taken | |
11 | from various sources, there are a mixture of licenses. | |
12 | ||
13 | Most of these utilities are released under the GPL, but | |
14 | some were originally public domain but are now GPL, and | |
15 | others are BSD-no-advert. | |
16 | ||
17 | Some files were originally BSD+advert (which is bad, and | |
18 | not GPL compatible). However, IF the files in question | |
19 | were part of the official BSD distribution from UCB, then | |
20 | they have been affirmitively converted from BSD+advert to | |
21 | BSD-no-advert licensing. As stated here | |
22 | <http://www.opensource.org/licenses/bsd-license.html>: | |
23 | Note: The advertising clause in the license appearing | |
24 | on BSD Unix files was officially rescinded by the | |
25 | Director of the Office of Technology Licensing of the | |
26 | University of California on July 22 1999. He states | |
27 | that clause 3 is "hereby deleted in its entirety." | |
28 | ||
29 | So, files derived from older BSD sources, even if they | |
30 | still SAY BSD+advert, are now BSD-no-advert. In | |
31 | accordance with the wishes of the Director of UC's OTL, | |
32 | I have modified the licensing terms to BSD-no-advert of | |
33 | files included in this package that fall under his edict. | |
