Hello,

I am thinking about doing a port.  The original author made 
his program available on his web page saying: [it] is free
and available for download.  There is no legalese/license/etc
in the source or the documentation. 
As a courtesy I am going to write to the author for
his "blessing" and permission.  Also I'd like to ask him
some precise term for distribution.  What kind of questions
should I ask?  What kind of assurance/guarantee should I ask for?

TIA,

	J Han
