Kermit Software - Licensing
Most Kermit software, including MS-DOS Kermit and C-Kermit, is
copyrighted. It is not in the public domain, it is not shareware, it
is not commercial. You may obtain it over the network for your own use,
or for use within your institution or company, but it may not be resold
or otherwise provided to customers or clients of commercial enterprises,
or included with any product (including CD-ROM software collections),
without the written permission of Columbia University.
Large institutional and corporate users of Kermit software are asked to
help support our efforts by purchasing adequate copies of the
manuals and/or making tax-deductible contributions, and are requested
to provide their own internal technical support (which may liaison
with ours) rather than sending all of their users straight to us
for help.
For further information, or send e-mail to kermit@columbia.edu.

Statement of Commercial Policy (http://www.columbia.edu/kermit/aaxcom.html).
Kermit Development and Distribution
Columbia University Academic Information Systems
New York, NY, USA
January 1998
This document supersedes the documents of the same name with
earlier dates, and all other earlier statements of terms and
conditions, including those found in Kermit manuals and other
documentation published prior to 1998. This document will be
updated from time to time as new software and manuals become
available, or when pricing or other conditions change.
Kermit software is not in the public domain. It is copyright by the Trustees
of Columbia University in the City of New York. Kermit software is
distributed and supported by Columbia University. The nonprofit Kermit
development and distribution effort is self-sustaining, funded by income
from mail-order software distribution, sales of published documentation, and
license fees.
Kermit software may not be distributed, remarketed, bundled, embedded,
adapted, given away, or otherwise redistributed by commercial enterprises to
their customers, clients, or prospective clients without written permission
from the Office of Kermit Development and Distribution at Columbia
University, which will be granted under the conditions enumerated in this
document. Commercial distribution includes, but is not necessarily limited
to, bundling of Kermit software with hardware or software products;
furnishing Kermit software to institutions, government agencies, or
corporations under contract; including Kermit software on CD-ROM
distributions of any kind; inclusion of Kermit software by Internet Access
Providers in software kits provided to their customers; embedding of Kermit
software in industry-specific applications such as medical claims submission
packages; or any other arrangement in which Kermit software is furnished to
customers, clients, or prospective clients for any purpose.
The conditions are:
1. The supplier must furnish a copy of the pertinent manual for each
computer where the software will run. This helps make the end-users
self sufficient, thus reducing the burden on the supplier's (and
Columbia University's) help desk. For MS-DOS Kermit and C-Kermit, the
manuals are the professionally published books described below. Should
the supplier wish not to furnish manuals, an additional fee must be
paid, also described below.
2. The supplier must not modify the Kermit software source code without
consent of Columbia University. If changes are needed, they must be
coordinated through Columbia University so they can be supported and
carried forward in new releases. The supplier can, of course, produce
tailored initialization files, command files, macros, scripts, tip
sheets, and similar material that does not involve changes to the
Kermit software source code.
3. The supplier must not modify, remove, or obscure any copyright notices
that appear in the software or documentation.
4. The supplier acknowledges that the Kermit software and documentation
are provided as is; no other warranty is provided, express or implied,
including without limitation, any implied warranty of merchantability
or implied warranty of fitness for a particular purpose. Neither the
supplier nor the end-users shall hold liable the authors of any Kermit
software programs, publications or documentation nor Columbia
University, Digital Press, nor any other contributing institution or
individual for program or documentation errors.
KERMIT 95
Since all copies of Kermit 95 must be licensed, whether for own use or
redistribution or resale, the conditions for furnishing Kermit 95 to
customers or clients automatically fulfilled when you license it for that
purpose.
MS-DOS KERMIT AND C-KERMIT
MS-DOS Kermit is the Kermit software for IBM PCs and compatibles with MS-DOS
or Microsoft Windows. The documentation is Using MS-DOS Kermit, Second
Edition, by Christine M. Gianone, Digital Press, Woburn, MA (1992). German
and French language editions are also available.
C-Kermit is the Kermit software for UNIX, VMS, OS/2, QNX, AOS/VS, Stratus
VOS, OS-9, the Commodore Amiga, and the Atari ST. The documentation is Using
C-Kermit by Frank da Cruz and Christine M. Gianone, Digital Press, Woburn,
MA (1997). A German edition is also available.
These manuals are available from Columbia University at the following rates,
which are subject to change. Single quantities:
Using MS-DOS Kermit: $41.95, includes 3.5-inch software diskette.
Using C-Kermit: $39.95.
Quantity Discounts:

Prices are in US dollars. Shipping costs are extra for overseas shipments.
Pay no tax.
Each copy of the book is a license to distribute one copy of the software.
You may reproduce the software yourself if you wish, in quantities not to
exceed the number of licenses you have purchased.
Should wish to furnish MS-DOS or C-Kermit software to your customers or
clients without the published manuals, you may:
1. Provide them instead with book voucher, to be redeemed by Columbia
University at no cost to the customer. Add 10% to the bottom line, and
contact us to make arrangements for the production of vouchers.
2. Omit both the book and the voucher. Add 20% to the bottom line.
OTHER KERMIT VERSIONS
Other Kermit versions, such as Kermit-370, for which commercially published
documentation is not available, may be distributed under the terms listed
above. In this case, documentation is furnished online as part of the
software distribution and may be accessed online by the supplier and/or the
end-user. Should commercially published documentation become available at a
later date, the same terms will apply as those that now apply to MS-DOS
Kermit and C-Kermit.
SOURCE CODE
Companies may license Kermit source code for purposes of adapting it to, or
integrating it into, products or services. Contact the Manager of Kermit
Development and Distribution to negotiate the terms of the license. However,
it should be emphasized that this course is not recommended in environments
where an existing Kermit program can operate on its own, since your product
will not be able to benefit from bug fixes and improvements that take place
afterwards. Most versions of Kermit software are easy to imbed in other
applications, so please think twice before choosing a source code license.
PROCEDURE
To obtain permission to distribute Kermit software, write a letter
describing your intentions and agreeing to the terms listed in this
document, and in the case of MS-DOS Kermit and/or C-Kermit, agreeing to
