| 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 words |
| "WORK IN PROGRESS", 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, "WORK IN PROGRESS" means exactly that. |
| The package is in ALPHA testing, and 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. |
