Distribution

GNUS is free; this means that everyone is free to use it and free to redistribute it on a free basis. GNUS is not in the public domain; it is copyrighted and there are restrictions on its distribution, but these restrictions are designed to permit everything that a good cooperating citizen would want to do. What is not allowed is to try to prevent others from further sharing any version of GNUS that they might get from you. The precise conditions appears following this section.

The easiest way to get a copy of GNUS is from someone else who has it. You need not ask for permission to do so, or tell any one else; just copy it.

If you have access to the Internet, you can get the latest version of GNUS from tut.cis.ohio-state.edu [128.146.8.60] using anonymous ftp. You can also get it from osu-cis using anonymous uucp.

You may also receive GNUS when you buy a computer. Computer manufacturers are free to distribute copies on the same terms that apply to everyone else. These terms require them to give you the full sources, including whatever changes they may have made, and to permit you to redistribute the GNUS received from them under the usual terms of the General Public License. In other words, the program must be free for you when you get it, not just free for the manufacturer.

If you cannot get a copy in any of those ways, you can order one from the author using electronic mail. For further information, write to:

umerin@tc.Nagasaki.GO.JP
