| This package, the EXT2 filesystem utilities, are protected by the GNU |
| Public License, with the following exception --- |
| |
| If the version string in the file version.h contains the |
| string "pre-", then this package must be distributed in source |
| form only. You can give a copy of the binary for e2fsck to |
| help a friend recover his or her filesystem, as the need |
| arises. However, "pre" indicates that this release is under |
| development, and available for ALPHA testing. So for your |
| protection as much as mine, I'd rather not have it appear in a |
| some distribution --- especially not a CD-ROM distribution! |
| |
| The most recent officially distributed version can be found on |
| tsx-11.mit.edu, in /pub/linux/packages/ext2fs. 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 can |
| see if we can't come to an arrangement. The release schedules for |
| this package are flexible, if you give me enough lead time. |
