New subject: licence of ditroff?

31 Jan 2005

Instead of starting with 27 year old code, you'd be better
off taking the troff from http://www.swtch.com/plan9port.

This is a port of many Plan 9 utilities to Unix.  The troff there
(a) has an explicit license that will probably do for the BSD people
(b) already knows how to produce PostScript
(c) can handle UTF-8 and 16-bit Unicode

 Hi!

 I would like to know which licence the files at
 http://medialab.dyndns.org/~martin/tape/stuff/ditroff/
 are under.

 If it's http://www.tuhs.org/Archive/Caldera-license.pdf
 that would be nice, if not, is there any way to find
 out whose (c) is on the files, and how to contact them?

 Reason: I'm developer of a BSD offspring and already
 integrated 4.4BSD-Alpha nroff, neqn, tbl etc. under the
 Caldera licence above into our operating system in order
 to get rid of the less free, written in C++, GNU groff.
 With success. Now I'm lacking postscript output.

 Thanks in advance,
 //mirabile
