HYDRACOM / SOURCE LICENSE HydraCom, its associated utilities (HydraCfg) and the HydraCom sourcecode may be freely distributed, copied and used, no fee charged. All files, executables and sourcecode remain the copyrighted property of Arjen G. Lentz and LENTZ SOFTWARE-DEVELOPMENT. The distribution archives should remain intact with no files removed or modified. For special purposes, it is allowed to repack the archives using a different compression system. HydraCom may be bundled up with for instance terminal or BBS packages, even commercial ones, provided the buyer/user is clearly informed about the fact that Hydra and HydraCom are free, not owned by the distributor/retailer in question, and is not included in any possible charge regarding the rest of the package. This documentation must also be present so the user can inform himself about Hydra and HydraCom. The same rules apply to inclusion in shareware and CD-ROM libraries. In all cases, the author of HydraCom must be given credit in any informational screens and literature that contain such information. The Hydra/HydraCom sourcecode may also be freely used and integrated into other software or library, provided this is clearly stated in any informational screens and literature pertaining to this program, and credit is given to the original author. If the sourcecode of that program or library is released or otherwise published, the notices present at the top of every Hydra/HydraCom source file must be retained in their original unmodified form. In addition to the above license, everyone using any part of the sourcecode, programs or files is fully bound by the general license of the Hydra protocol as present in the Hydra protocol description document. For easy reference, the paragraph in question is reprinted below. Any use of, or operation on (including copying/distributing) any of the above mentioned files implies full and unconditional acceptance of this license and disclaimer. HYDRA PROTOCOL LICENSE You are granted a license to implement the HYDRA file transfer protocol, HYDRA hereafter, in your own programs and/or use the sample source code and adapt these to your particular situation and needs; subject to the following conditions: - You must refer to it as the HYDRA file transfer protocol, and you must give credit to the authors of HYDRA in any information screens or literature pertaining to your programs that contains other such information (credits, your own copyrights, etc.). - HYDRA will always remain backwards compatible with previous revisions. HYDRA allows for expansion of its features without interfering with previous revisions. It is, however, important that different people do not expand the protocol in different directions. We therefore ask you to contact us if you have any needs/ideas regarding HYDRA, so development can be synchronized and beneficial to all. - If your implementation cannot converse with past or future revisions as supplied by us, then you must refer to it as "HYDRA derived", or as "a variation of HYDRA", or words to that effect.
