DNScache
Information for distributors
You may distribute copies of dnscache-1.00.tar.gz,
with MD5 checksum 67d51c5403c03f08d6ba8fff0108ab27.
I'm interested in hearing about any CDs that include the package,
but you don't have to check with me if you don't want to.
You are permitted to distribute a precompiled DNScache package if
- installing the package produces exactly the same files,
in exactly the same locations,
that a user would obtain by downloading, compiling, and installing
dnscache-1.00.tar.gz;
- the package behaves correctly,
i.e., the same way as normal DNScache installations on all other systems;
and
- the package's creator
warrants that he has made a good-faith attempt
to ensure that the package behaves correctly.
It is not acceptable to have DNScache working differently on different machines;
any variation is a bug.
If there's something about a system
(compiler, libraries, kernel, hardware, whatever)
that changes the behavior of DNScache,
then that platform is not supported,
and you are not permitted to distribute binaries for it.
