-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
- string "pre-", or "WIP" 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, "pre" or "WIP" indicates that this
- release is under development, and available for ALPHA testing.
- So for your protection as much as mine, I'd rather not have it
- appear in a some distribution --- especially not a CD-ROM
- distribution!
