Yes. The conditions for using the Net-SNMP suite are layed out in the file 'COPYING' (in the source tree), which is essentially the same as the web page you mention. Net-SNMP is basically distributed under a BSD-style open source license. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BSD_license for a summary of this style of license. Note that no advice provided on this list has any legal standing or guarantee. I am not a lawyer, and have no legal training whatsoever (nor any wish to do so!). If you are in any doubt, we suggest you consult your lawyers. > 1. We have to write following where it is used.. > ---- Part 1: CMU/UCD copyright notice: (BSD like) ----- [snip] The simplest thing is probably to include the Net-SNMP COPYING file with any source distributions, and add it to the manual or other documentation of a binary distribution (say as an appendix). And of course, if you're including any Net-SNMP code files in your build, then you should leave any copyright notices that are in those files But that's just my lay opinion, and has no real standing I am not a lawyer, and you should consult your lawyers about anything you are unsure of.
