You also don't need to read this page if you simply want to set up a mirror of my web pages. I'm interested in hearing about any CDs that include these packages, but you don't have to check with me if you don't want to. For example, you may continue distributing djbdns-1.01.tar.gz as long as you want. Of course, I encourage you to keep up with new versions. You may distribute an operating system that includes a precompiled package under the same rules.
Compatibility is essential.
Files must be accessible by the same names on all systems. You hypocrites distributed Netscape Navigator for years without even being able to see the source code. And now you're lying to your users, telling them that I am not allowing you to incorporate my software into your system. Some of my software is in the public domain, for example, and there is a separate page for qmail distributors . But I plan to centralize distributor information here.
