(It +says "distribute and use", but not "modify".) + + =================================================================== + Distribute and use freely; there are no restrictions on further + dissemination and usage except those imposed by the laws of your + country of residence. This software is provided "as is" without + warranty of fitness for use or suitability for any purpose, express + or implied. Use at your own risk or not at all. + =================================================================== + + Incorporating the code into commercial products is permitted; you do + not have to make source available or contribute your changes back + (though that would be nice). + + --amk (www.amk.ca) + +For the next PyCrypto release, I would like to take steps to move toward a +clearer licensing regime. I am asking as many copyright holders as I can +find if I can release PyCrypto under something clearer and more standard. +Below, I have quoted a public domain dedication that was recommended in +_Intellectual Property and Open Source: A Practical Guide to Protecting +Code_, by Van Lindberg. I have already contacted A. M. Kuchling, Robey +Pointer, Barry Warsaw, Wim Lewis, Jeethu Rao, Joris Bontje, and Mark +Moraes, and they have all approved the following dedication for their +contributions. + +I understand that you have made contributions to PyCrypto, under nickname +"z3p" and/or other names. May I, on your behalf, dedicate to the public +domain all your contributions to PyCrypto, with the following notice? + + ======================================================================= + The contents of this file are dedicated to the public domain.
