1998 CNRI license compatibility

I'm interested in updating the very old kerberos extension module.
However, the code dates to 1998 and is licensed under what appears to be
a pre-python-1.6 CNRI license. Does anyone have recommendations on
whether additions and changes to the old code can be licensed under a
newer OSI-approved license? There is information on GPL, CNRI 1.6, and
python license compatibility, as well as a history of the python
licenses in the current python license file. But I can't find
suggestions on what to do with such an old version of the CNRI license.

http://www.python.org/ftp/python/contrib-09-
Dec-1999/System/krb5module-0.1.tar.gz
http://www.python.org/ftp/python/contrib-09-
Dec-1999/System/krb5module.READ ME

Any ideas will be appreciated.

Many thanks,

-John R.

Will it build against heimdal or is this module only available
for MIT Kerberos?

Ciao, Michael.

Hi I know, this might be the wrong place for such a question, but maybe you can redirect me to the right place to post. I wrote a small software under the GNU General Public License and put it on freshmeat.net for download. Now, someone likes this software and wants it to integrate into his own software as a module. This software is for sale. Is there a meaningfull solution about this issue? I just would like to give a "common" answer...

I'm currently working on a Python program, and was wondering if it's possible to license the program, some associated tools, and a few other libraries I've written under the Python license. I had a look at the new PSF Python license on the list of OSI-approved licenses, but it makes numerous direct mentions of Python and the PSF. Is there any acceptable way to simply say that a particular source file is under the PSF license (like you...

I've been watching the flame war about licenses with some interest. There are many motivations for those who participate in this sector, so disagreements over licenses reflect those agendas. I don't have an agenda, at least not right now. I do plan on writing a few programs. These will be tools I need for firmware testing. They will be relatively simple things like tools for breaking down data by its structure for easy viewing,...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
