This is Debian/GNU Linux's prepackaged version of the zoo archiver. This package was put together by me, James Troup , from the original source, which I obtained from: sunsite.doc.ic.ac.uk:/unix/unix-c/arc-progs/zoo210.tar.gz and is maintained from may 1998 by Petr Čech. The following rules apply only to the zoo archiver itself. Currently, all extract-only programs, and all supporting utili- ties, are fully in the public domain and are expected to remain so for the forseeable future. COPYRIGHT STATEMENT FOR ZOO ARCHIVE PROGRAM 1. "This software" refers separately to each existing version, and each existing authorized derivative work, of my zoo archive program as of the date at the bottom of this copyright statement. 2. DISTRIBUTION IN UNMODIFIED FORM: You may copy this software in unmodified form for any purpose, whether commercial or noncommercial, provided that you make no attempt to restrict distribution of it by others. 3. CREATION OF DERIVATIVE WORKS: You may create and distribute derivative works made from any source code files that are part of this software, provided that you (a) preserve all copyright notices and author attributions, (b) do not create, whether deliberately or through negligence, any derivative work that violates the compatibility goals describe in the reference manual for zoo 2.1, (c) do not attempt to restrict the distribution or use of the derivative work by others, (d) make the fully commented source code of the derivative work available to me at no cost if I so request, and make no attempt to restrict the distribution or use of this source code. 4. NO WARRANTY. I make no claim that this software is free of defects. I do not accept any legal obligation to provide any bug fixes or any other type of support whatsoever. I disclaim all liability for damages, whether direct or consequential. 5. EXCEPTIONS: Exceptions to the above conditions are probably possible. Please contact me to negotiate. 6. The prohibition against incompatible derivative works does not necessarily imply that the archiver and the archive format cannot be enhanced. However, if any incompatibility is created, it may be done only with my permission. -- Rahul Dhesi 1991/07/07
