Re: Re: OpenSS7 GPL'd LiS.

I too did not notice that there were variants in the wild with the same name but operating under a different license.  

I have imported the entire LiS-2.18.0 into CVS, tagged it as LiS-2-18-0 and will maintain the source based on submissions to this mailing list.  I have even less broad test abilities than Dave, so I will rely on visual inspection, compiler and this mailing list for code review.  Consequently large patches may take a considerable amount of time before they are released.

On the other hand, I believe the bulk of LiS is stable and will not change much.  It is not my intention to add new features or components to LiS.  LiS needs to support STREAMS on a wide variety of operating systems and platforms.  It does not need to include drivers and modules the use STREAMS however useful they might be.  Don't ask me to include your wonderful gadget module in the next release of LiS ... create your own package.  

Releases will be made quarterly (unless there are no changes) or as needed in case of emergency.  They will be published to our FTP site in the lis directory.  ftp://ftp.wanware.com/lis/LiS-2.18.0.tgz is a copy of the GCOM package.

Expect LiS-2.18.1.tgz sometime this summer, and future releases as reported above.  

Brian, please rename your "copy" (as per your original e-mail you have the copy) that has been GPLed.
