- The "KA9Q NOS" networking package is copyright 1992 by Phil Karn, KA9Q.
- All rights reserved. Permission is hereby granted for the free copying
- and use of this package by radio amateurs and non-profit educational
- institutions. I.e., to hams and schools, it is "freeware".
-
- Use of this software by commercial or governmental organizations is on a
- "shareware" -- not freeware -- basis. That is, a prospective commercial
- or governmental user may copy and evaluate the software for his or her
- application. If it is to be used beyond evaluation purposes, it must be
- registered for $50/copy (see address below).
-
- The right conferred by the registration fee to use the software in a
- commercial or government organization is limited to those portions of
- the NOS package that are the sole work of Phil Karn, KA9Q. Certain
- portions of the package, in particular the email subsystem, were
- contributed by others with the understanding that they would be used for
- amateur radio and educational purposes only. Any commercial or
- governmental use of these portions requires an agreement with the
- appropriate author(s). Each source code file includes an appropriate
- authorship and copyright statement.
-
- In several cases, the contributing authors have placed their code into
- the public domain. This is the case with the PPP and VJ header
- compression code contributed by Katie Stevens and Bill Simpson. This
- code may be freely used by anyone. Again, see the comments in the
- various source files for details.
-
- NOS is provided without warranty of any kind. The prospective user is
- responsible for testing and evaluating it to see if it meets his or her
- needs. The payment of the registration fee merely grants the user the
- right to use the software as-is; it does not obligate me to provide any
- assistance or support.
-
- OEM licenses for the inclusion of part or all of the Karn-authored
- portions of NOS into commercial networking software products are
- available on an individually negotiated basis. Discounted site licenses
- (e.g., for large-scale internal use) are also available. Please contact:
