This version of Linux Fast-STREAMS runs 10 times faster than LiS, in 1/10th of the memory footprint, and passes hundreds of POSIX conformance tests that LiS fails. A full conformance testsuite and performance test programs are included. Linux Fast-STREAMS and related packages are distributed under the GPL Version 2. In general, drivers and modules written to the "standard" STREAMS interface, being non-derived, do not need to be concerned about differences between GPL and LGPL and can be distributed under whatever terms the distributor sees fit. Anyone wishing to distribute binary copies of publicly released OpenSS7 packages without GPL restrictions can obtain license to do so in unlimited quantities in exchange for sponsorship of the project.
