Subject: [TUHS] 2.11BSD license question: porting software to NetBSD
Date: Fri, 18 Apr 2003 18:56:16 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <200304181656.h3IGuGfC028575@string1.ciencias.uniovi.es> (raw)
Hello.
I have just finished porting diction(1) and style(1) from 2.11BSD
to the NetBSD operating system. Those utilities are a part of the
AT&T Documenter's Workbench (DWB), and are not available on the v7
and 32V UNIX releases.
I asked to the people of the NetBSD Foundation about the possibility
of adding those commands to the base system (as a part of the tarball
with documentation tools) but they think that it is not possible,
as a consequence of a licensing issue. I supposed that all the
software provided in the 2.11BSD was under a BSD license, but it
looks like 2.11BSD is a closed source release.
Can someone, please, helping me on this matter? What should I do?
Should I just drop this software?
Cheers,
Igor.
