Copyright notice:
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-", 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" 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!
-
-The most recent officially distributed version can be found on
-tsx-11.mit.edu, in /pub/linux/packages/ext2fs. If you need to make a
-distribution, that's the one you should use. If there is some reason
-why you'd like a more recent version that is still in ALPHA testing
-for your distribution, please contact me (tytso@mit.edu), and we can
-see if we can't come to an arrangement. The release schedules for
-this package are flexible, if you give me enough lead time.
