Vacation 1.2.7.0 was completely rebased from the version here: http://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/vacation/ which is licensed under the modified BSD license (no advertising clause). The earlier versions I inherited at SourceForge were based on the original = BSD=20 license with advertising clause which wasn't GPL compatible and a big issue= =20 because it was linking against gdbm! I contacted Eric Allman (the original author) about the licensing before=20 rebasing in 2006 and he wrote: # The advertising clause is obsolete at this point --- the Regents declared= it # to be null-and-void several years ago.

Agreed! I'll try and get to that in the near future, and clean up the docs.= =20 Sorry about the confusion, Chris =2D-=20 Chris Samuel : http://www.csamuel.org/ : Melbourne, VIC This email may come with a PGP signature as a file.
