[comp.mail.sendmail] UK sendmail is Public Domain

|   Is UK-sendmail actually in the public domain? A discussion about
|   this started last week on USENET comp.mail.sendmail, people thought
|   the copyright meant the .cf files generated by it are public domain
|   but are not sure about the generator code itself.

UK-sendmail is public domain.  That includes all the tools as well as
the generated .cf files.

The most reliable source for obtaining UK-2.1 is the info-server at
doc.ic.ac.uk - if you are in the UK that is.  I did once send it to
comp.sources.unix but I have not kept track to see if it was sent out.
If there is still interest outside of the UK, mail me & I will do
something about making it available on internet somewhere.

The most recent version is essentially the same as the original
release in January 1989. There were a couple of minor fixes made
around January 1990 - this is the version you get from doc.ic.ac.uk.
