[ENet-discuss] License question

[Philip Bennefall]

Hi Lee,

Thank you for this information. I am only providing binary builds (no source 
code at all), and so have modified my html docs to say the following:

<a href="http://enet.bespin.org/">The ENet Project</a><br>
ENet is a rock solid layer on top of the UDP protocol, optimized especially 
for high-speed games. This is what BGT uses to provide its networking 
capabilities.<br>
Note: For licensing information related to the ENet library, please see the 
website linked to above.<br>

Is this acceptable?

Kind regards,

Philip Bennefall

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.
