Slashdot Mirror

You can copy and hack the source as much as you like.

No, you can't. The distribution terms (aka: LICENSE) specifically state that you can not.

The distribution terms specifically state this:

You are free to download the software from my web server; you then own that copy of the software, and you are free to compile it and run it.

In any case, I specifically said, "The only real restriction is on the distribution of binary packages: They must operate the same as a user would get downloading and compiling the source themselves." Yes, that means you can't distribute modified binaries. So what if you patch qmail to use localtime instead of UTC? Are you distributing binaries? Unlikely. (About as likely as finding a buffer overflow in any DJB code, and that approaches zero.)

You can copy and hack the source as much as you want. What you can't distribute the results outside of your own organization and call it djbdns. Lots of people distribute patches for various odd things, especially for qmail. And there are also qmail RPMs and djbdns RPMs. Maybe you should be reading FAQs...

As events like these at MIT show, and as slashdot quickly approaches a quarter of a million users, it's time for a slashdot reunion. Below is enclosed a list of the first 50 users, the folks who really know what it means to say, "I remember the good ol' days." How many of these users are still active? Reply, and show your true colors. The who replies with the lowest userid gets a prize! CmdrTaco (1) email: malda@slashdot.org
