We would like to use GUSI (Grand Unified Socket Interface)[1] by
Matthias Neeracher (author of MacPerl) for the Macintosh port of
libxpnet[3]. GUSI is a Macintosh implementation of Unix sockets and
some POSIX goodies. The lightweight download library, libxpnet, is
being used by the installers.
At any rate, GUSI is under the "zlib/libpng license"[2] and we were
wondering if it would be acceptable for mozilla code to use and link
with the GUSI libraries. The GUSI source is available and could be
checked in if required.
We are looking for a stance on the part of the mozilla community as to:
1> whether these license terms are acceptable to work with
2> what we will need to do (checkin the code, checkin binaries, etc.)
Thank you for your time.
