[devel] Q: gated license

[Sergey Vlasov <vsu@altlinux.ru>]

Hello!

Кто-нибудь может пояснить ситуацию с лицензией gated?

 Royalty-free licenses to redistribute GateD Release
 3 in whole or in part may be obtained by writing to:

         Merit GateDaemon Project
         4251 Plymouth Road, Suite C
         Ann Arbor, MI 48105

Т.е. получается, что просто так распространять его нельзя? И такое
лежит у нас в Сизифе, да еще с надписью License: distributable в spec?

Кстати, www.gated.org переадресовывает на www.nexthop.org, а там:

Q: Where can I get the GateD public code?

NextHop has retired the GateD public code. A lack of contributions from
the open source community, as well as the combined advancements of
industry standards and NextHop's product enhancements, have rendered the
public code both obsolete and effectively unsafe for deployment on the
modern Internet.

NextHop has invested over 50 person-years of engineering into the GateD
routing software suite over the last two years, dramatically enhancing
the GateD code base. GateD version 9.3 is the most stable, fully
functional suite of routing protocols available in the world today. For
more information on the NextHop product suite and other available
services, please see:
