The netrek licensing issue has never been fully resolved because people have different interpretations for it. In my opinion, the license is completely free for any use and, therefore, is even more generous than GPL or BSD. However, other people feel that the "without fee" clause restricts it to non-commercial use. The only thing you can do is take the copyright statements and clear it with the Mandrake people and get their interpretation on it. Note that you should send them all copyright statements. James, perhaps it's time to revisit this licensing issue and either rerelease netrek under an existing OSS license or create our own. > I had no feedback from first package release, doesn't anybody had a look ? > I'm currently aware of broken service script, and log file problem.
