Hum, is this really the case? I thought the source code for it was not
available? Well, it's true that a binary-only program can carry a BSD
license... but to me, having 'BSD-like' license on a binary-only
program sounds a bit odd.
Best regards,
Thomas

Yes, agreed. I'm not sure what the right approach is, given that
sam-ba as distributed is a mixture of pre-built binaries, and (C and
Tcl) source code. Perhaps we just say "sam-ba license", which may be
less contentious...?
I'm pasting the contents of the doc/readme.txt file below for your information.
Simon.

I do like the "BSD-like" qualifier, though, because it tells you a lot
more. How about "BSD-like (partly binary-only)"?
Regards,
Arnout

Okay; that sounds like a good compromise. Thanks for the suggestion.
Simon.
