Dear Mr Vivid Liou: I assume that you know Chinese and can read BIG-5, so you can contact me privately in BIG-5 Chinese if you wish. http://oldorange.kame.net/faq/fom.cgi?file=3 KAME source has a BSDL style license there is no licensing fee or anything. No need to get any license or pay anyone. You do not even have to disclose the source that you modify. Use it however you want. However, the best way to ensure that D-Link's IPSEC has complete compatibility is to release the code to the KAME developers. And send them prototypes of your router to test. It would be a good idea to send the FreeBSD Testlabs, Inc. betas of your router, too. -Michael =============Translation in Chinese=============== IPSEC跟KAME是完全免費BSDL, 你連自己改的source都不用公開 只要確定你在source裡留著內附的license就好 要保證完全跟其他人的IPSEC完全相容, 那就乾脆連你的router beta軟硬體 都給kame的作者群測試 , 順帶給FreeBSD的作者群也測試 寫信給他們罷 最後, 你們那個DFE530-TX的datasheet跟specification還有driver source code 放出來吧 *BSD/Linux 搞多久都弄不好你們的driver, 想要多賣點生意 那就放driver source放spec, 多幫open source一點忙吧 driver又不能賣錢, 這樣讓多點人買你們的卡不是很好? 這個mailing list很多台灣人在看：） 替公司作個公關吧.... -- +------------------------------------------------------------------+ | keichii@peorth.iteration.net | keichii@bsdconspiracy.net | | http://peorth.iteration.net/~keichii | Yes, BSD is a conspiracy. | +------------------------------------------------------------------+ --C7zPtVaVf+AK4Oqc Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: PGPfreeware 5.0i for non-commercial use MessageID: OWi+kS5GLrVO4PBT04VozVJiJ73UZsLa iQA/AwUBOcbQbUfhZMT04LHSEQJt+gCgknuamAqclZUjcVgTsOnrhQEzq/gAoKrB HtwFHhCVgooTgLuyHKYiPEor =sBRf -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --C7zPtVaVf+AK4Oqc-- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
