Copyright question
Hello,
I asked the author of crafty permission to include it in the main
distribution, although the copyright states that it can not be "distributed
for commercial purposes". This is the reply I got:
|no problem with the way you want to distribute it. You aren't selling
|crafty, you are selling a linux distribution. Anyone can still download
|the latest version for free from my ftp machine, and since you are
|distributing exactly the same thing, it is not a problem in any way. Feel
|free to include it wherever you want. The copyright notice was put there
|because an oddball company had commented that "Crafty is too strong to be
|free, we are going to start selling it as our own engine."...

Do I put this in /usr/doc/crafty/copyright together with the
original copyright message?
