[gopher] Re: New Server Software
I will specifically list license information when its vital to clarify (see: gopher://home.jumpjet.info/11\Begin_Here\References\License for example). However in most cases the "readme" files included with the software already go into great detail about the license, so I simply group software into one of the following three general categories in their "About.txt" file just to give people an idea of what the included license seems to say:
Freeware = Software which has been given to the public free of charge
Shareware = Fully functional software that you are allowed to try before you buy, but which MUST be purchased at some point.
Abandonware = Software to which the owner has implied should be Freeware, but to which the owner has not bothered to make a public statement to that effect (and in most cases cannot even be contacted to make a statement).
As always, should you want to contribute to JumpJet (such as offering downloads, suggesting links to Gopher Jewels 2, commenting on changing documentation, etc.), we are awaiting your email:

Just a suggestion: Would it be possible to add licence information for
these software? Some of them are free & open source under GPL, others
probably simple Freeware. So merely "Freeware" is probably not enough.
Happy new year to all.
