In FSUUCP are some files under GNU. It states that FSUUCP used the GNU version of UUCP. I would like to get this, but can't find it anywhere. Where can I get some source code for UUCP, especially GNUUCP ? ( its not at prep.ai.mit.edu, wustl, ucbarpa.berkeley, uunet ). Thanks in advance....

A little off the question, but what version of FSUUCP are you looking at? The current version (1.1 Release 4) does NOT use the GNUUCP. You can obtain the latest version from polyslo.calpoly.edu via anonymous ftp. Questions about this version can be directed to Chris Ambler (cambler@polyslo), support@fubarsys.slo.ca.us, or to me (gmartin@polyslo). -Guy Martin Software Engineer/Documentation Coordinator - Fubar Systems -- Guy Martin (Hackman) // Internet: gmartin@polyslo.calpoly.edu --------------------- // Fubarnet: guy@fubarsys.slo.ca.us Amiga, the tool for the \\ // Work: guy@library.calpoly.edu creative mind---------> \X/ UUCP: ucbvax!voder!polyslo!gmartin

vtcqa@shamash.cdc.com (Jeff Comstock) recently informed us: >In FSUUCP are some files under GNU. It states that FSUUCP used >the GNU version of UUCP. FSUUCP no longer uses *ANY* GNU code. I had trouble with some people demanding that I release ALL source code since I used GNU g protocol drivers, so I trashed all my GNU code (even threw out all hard copies) and reworked the uucico from the beginning. Result is, no more hassles with GNU or the FSF, and it runs many times faster and more reliably. Side note: fsuucp 1.1 release 5 will be on polyslo by saturday, 15 september. -- ++Christopher(); --- cambler@polyslo.calpoly.edu --- chris@fubarsys.slo.ca.us --- Ever get the feeling that there is someone out there who understands you completely?

Check with the authors by phone or postal mail (if you can't reach them by email). The license specifies that either they must ship matching sources with the binaries, or they must provide sources to anyone who asks for them for a nominal charge. If they are doing neither, wave a club at them and tell them to stop. FSF has never had to sue anyone over copyleft violation but there's always a first time. -- John Gilmore {sun,pacbell,uunet,pyramid}!hoptoad!gnu gnu@toad.com The Gutenberg Bible is printed on hemp (marijuana) paper.
