Could be that the license changed since then, because it reads: * This software was written by Alexander Peslyak in 2001. No copyright is * claimed, and the software is hereby placed in the public domain. * In case this attempt to disclaim copyright and place the software in the * public domain is deemed null and void, then the software is * Copyright (c) 2001 Alexander Peslyak and it is hereby released to the * general public under the following terms: * * Redistribution and use in source and binary forms, with or without * modification, are permitted. * * There's ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY, express or implied. * * (This is a heavily cut-down "BSD license".) meillo _______________________________________________ Nmh-workers mailing list [email protected] http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/nmh-workers
