Hello all,
I am looking for implementing the Kermit protocol into an application.
(I am a one-man company and doing special contract software in the
auto-id market)
Currently, our customer uses a registered version of Kermit-95
but is not completely happy with it as it uses a flock of features
he never will need and his point and click dudes have difficulties
with the commandline interface.- So he is asking for something simple,
included into some custom specific application.
When searching the net I found the QKKermit 3.0 (Ported from CP/M);
Finally I realized that this also can be found in the Culumbia
University ftp site.
QUESTION: What problems will arise if I implement an 'bread and
butter' version
in Pascal/Delphi and would like to include this into one of the
following?:
1) a commercial closed source application
2) a GNU open source application
The Kermit-95, C-Kermit are non opensource products of the Kermit
project,
which need licenses for non-personal use. What about QKermit and other
pascal
sources to be included into own libraries?
Might a 'clean room approach' (based on the protocol description only)
be
an alternate way to avoid copyright conflicts?
Is there any license model for the above situation(kermit
implementation in commercial applications)? How did all the builders
of communications packages handle this issue?
Best Regards,
ckranich
