A quick grep around doesn'treveal any uses of this code in our tree, and given that we have support/ab.c it seems strange to carry both. Can we just drop it?Isn't ab.c derived from zb.c? If so, isn't that kind of problematic with regard to this licensing issue?checked, that there's a grant from Zeus on file that allowed us to relicense the code for ab.
The log message that kicks off ab.c: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ r80572 | rse | 1998-03-17 04:46:42 -0800 (Tue, 17 Mar 1998) | 19 lines Include of the new "ApacheBench" support program: o base is ZeusBench 1.0 from Adam Twiss, Zeus Technology Ltd.o includes enhancements by Dean from November 1997 for keepalive, SunOS4,

o cleanups and enhancements by Ralf from March 1998: command line

distribution the
way it currently is. So, don't change copyright messages or other
license stuff there, please. The program itself can now be
enhanced or
changed in any way.

Does an archive of that apache-core mailing list mentioned above exist?
Do we need zb.c to be in our tree? Or can we declare it superseded by
ab.c? If only to help out our friends over at Debian?
