| Copyright notice: |
| |
| This package, the EXT2 filesystem utilities, are protected by the GNU |
| Public License. |
| |
| However, I request that if the version string in the file version.h |
| contains the string "pre-", or "WIP" that this version of e2fsprogs be |
| distributed in source form only. Please feel free to give a copy of |
| the e2fsck binary to help a friend recover his or her filesystem, as |
| the need arises. However, "pre" or "WIP" indicates that this release |
| is under development, and available for ALPHA testing. So for your |
| protection as much as mine, I'd prefer that it not appear in a some |
| distribution --- especially not a CD-ROM distribution! |
| |
| The most recent officially distributed version can be found at |
| http://e2fsprogs.sourceforge.net. If you need to make a distribution, |
| that's the one you should use. If there is some reason why you'd like |
| a more recent version that is still in ALPHA testing for your |
| distribution, please contact me (tytso@mit.edu), and we will very |
| likely be able to work out something that will work for all concerned. |
| The release schedules for this package are flexible, if you give me |
| enough lead time. |
