Thanks for getting back to me and authorizing it's use. I will continue
testing it on different windows flavors (until now all my tests were on
XP). I will add a readme or a xxmklink.licence file in the distribution
 that will indicate the provenance/credit/authorization of this binary.

Best Regards,

 Dear Assefa:

 Thank you for contacting us for the use of XXMKLINK.
 I just looked at your OSGeo4W page on Wikipedia.

 Let this Email authorize OSGeo to include our XXMKLINK.EXE program
 in the OSGeo Binary Distribution and related installer packages.

 We charge a nominal license fee for commercial applications
 on a case-by-case basis.  In this particular case, we would like to
 give you permission to use XXMKLINK free of charge because your
 usage is for an open source project.

 We will be most appreciative if you give us credit for XXMKLINK
 in whatever context it fits.

 With regards,
 Kan Yabumoto

 Hi,

  I recently downloaded and tested locally xxmlink.exe
 (http://www.xxcopy.com/xxcopy38.htm)

  I would like to be able to use it/distribute it in an open source
 project http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/OSGeo_Win32_Installer. Is it
 something that is possible? What is the license on it?

 Thanks
