The library (libgsasl.* and gsasl.h) are LGPL. The command line tool is GPL. The manual is GFDL. The library used to be licensed under the GPL as well, maybe that's the reason there are still some ambiguity. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

I had to get the sources to find its licenses... -- Francesco P. Lovergine -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
