[Olympus developers 204]: Re: Question

[Thomas Harris]

All(*) the Olympus stuff has what we call the CMU license, which is about as
permissive as possible; it just protects against liability, but otherwise
its free to use, modify, and redistribute. Copyright is surrendered by the
author to the University. Here's the license:

I'm qualifying the word "all" because there's a lot of code in there, some
of it may have been borrowed from other sources and may have other licenses.
As far as I know no one has audited the code to verify that.

I have no idea procedurally how we arrived at this license. It was in place
before my time.
