README.source for acorn-fdisk
-----------------------------
1. GENERAL NOTES
Still to do:
- Update Standards-Version and go through upgrading-checklist
(probably very time consuming)
- Test on some real Acorn RISC Machine
(even though, with -t PC/BIOS, this can replace util-linux
fdisk, which is testing to a certain degree as well)
Notes:
- Upstream is probably dead. Just develop in here.
2. ABOUT LICENSING
According to the author’s message pasted below, it is covered by
the “GPL” since it contains “the original” fdisk.c which has been
tracked down to be the one from util-linux.
The fdisk.c source file in util-linux and Slackware 3.3 bears the
following copyright notice:

GPL, since it contains the original fdisk.c source, which was used as a basis
for creating this.
