[ENet-discuss] License question

[Lee Salzman]

All things considered, if it is only a binary distribution (no source 
code included), I would prefer that at least my copyright is stated 
somewhere in the documentation and a link to the license is provided as 
well either directly at (http://enet.bespin.org/License.html) or state 
that full licensing and other information can be found at the home page 
(http://enet.bespin.org/). This doesn't necessarily have to be in a 
prominent location, but it should be somewhere where people could 
reasonably find the information amongst related such notices, and if it 
is placed somewhere low key, then ensure that there is not information 
elsewhere in the product or documentation that would misconstrue the 
origin of the networking code. Or you could provide the full license 
text if you want. Either is reasonable for the binary-only distribution 
case, so long as it is clear that the copyright on the code belongs to 
me and the terms of that copyright are accessible as above.

If source code is included, the full license text must be included with 
the source code.
