Hello, Ok! OK! My name is Tony Ardolino and I own NetCon along Frank Whitsell, we have been considering release NetCon to the FreeBSD community for a long time. Can someone referrer me to a license that would allow the following; 1.) Free distribution for non-commerical use only. 2.) A enhancements must be returned to FreeBSD. 3.) Commerical use or Resale requires a license from NetCon Corp. 4.) NetCon Corp. will always own NetCon Software and all clanges. 5.) Cannot be ported to any other platform Like SCO, or Sun. I also need a committment from a group of people to keep NetCon updated with the changes in NetWare and Freebsd (About a month a year). We will train and support all who are intreasted. Get me this and you will get NetWare for FreeBSD.
