Brian said: : One reading of this is: "Users may copy or modify Sun RPC without : charge, but are not authorized to license or distribute it to anyone : else except as part of a product or program developed by the user" - : the second clause of the "or" can be ignored.IMO the meaning of the license is clearly "Users may copy or modify Sun RPC without charge, but are not authorized to license or distribute it to anyone else except as part of a product developed by the user or program developed by the user" (note the added text).
After thinking this a bit more I'm not so sure anymore whether it is meant to mean "except as part of a (product) or (program developed by the user)" or "except as part of a (product or program) developed by the user"
In a case like this shouldn't gNS contact the copyright holder(s) instead of deciding to interpret the license favorably for gNS?
