hy.

please examine this copyright :
if there are problems, the author will chnage it (i hope so).

i think that we will have problems :
a) the notify clause (wich vendor can notify everyone ? ok, but i could
	do the program into non-free).
b) binary only distribution (did all vendors include the sources ?
	i doubt that infomagic, trilinux or other multi distribution
	vendors  will include sources of all distributions...

thanks for your help.

regards, andreas
