To make matters worse, it appears that between openafs-ibm-1_0 and openafs-devel-license-update, those that applied the IBM Public License to everything in the tree made some mistakes. Examining the IBM contribution, the rx source files for example contained the license that was the result of the DARPA funded work.

The Sun Microsystems licensed files were not re-licensed and I do not believe that those explicitly labeled with this license should have been. This same license was present in the lwp, rxgen, rxkad, and util sources as well. As for the .xg files, the majority of them did not include any copyright statement at all. Those that did had a much earlier copyright statement dating back to ITC CMU project (1987,1988). I suspect that those files should not have been relicensed under the IBM Public License 1.0 either. For starters, Simon, go ahead and publish your I-Ds using the .xg sources from the IBM OpenAFS 1.0 release. They should meet your needs. OpenAFS has a mess that needs to be cleaned up and that will need to be done in conjunction with IBM. Jeffrey Altman
