C-KERMIT 7.0 COPYRIGHT NOTICE:
The C-Kermit license does not fall into any convenient category. It is
not commercial, not shareware, not freeware, not GPL. The terms can be
summarized as follows:
1. You may download C-Kermit without license or fee for your own use
or internal use within your company or institution.
2. You may install C-Kermit without license or fee as a service or
application on a computer within your company that is accessed by
customers or clients. This provision would apply, for example, to an
ISP or a medical claims clearinghouse.
3. You may include C-Kermit with a "Free UNIX" or other Open Source
operating-system distribution such as GNU/Linux, FreeBSD, NetBSD,
OpenBSD, etc.
4. Except as in (3), you may not sell or otherwise furnish C-Kermit as
a software product, or a component of any product, to actual or
potential customers or clients without a commercial license; to see
the commercial license terms, see http://www.columbia.edu/kermit/.
In addition, we request that those who make more than casual use of
C-Kermit purchase the published manual, Using C-Kermit. This helps
them to get the most out of the software, it reduces the load on our
help desk, and it helps to fund the Kermit Project.
The Kermit Project must fund itself entirely out of income, which
comes from software licenses, book sales, and support contracts. The
C-Kermit licensing terms are designed to be as generous and fair as
possible within this framework. Simply stated: if you just want to use
it, be our guest. If you want us to help you use it, please consult
the manual first. If you want to make a product or commodity of it,
you have to pay for it.
