Richard Stevens passed away before the third edition of | ||
UNIX Network Programming, Volume 1 was published, but the | ||
new authors, Bill Fenner and Andy Rudoff, have tried to carry | ||
forward his intentions. Mr. Stevens didn't include an explicit | ||
LICENSE file in his original source tree, however some files | ||
contained the following license text: | ||

[Richard Stevens wrote...] | ||
The code is available to anyone on the Internet and should | ||
compile easily on most current Unix systems. The majority of | ||
the 10,000 lines of C code are functions that one can use as | ||
building blocks (a network programming toolchest) inside their | ||
own network applications. Many of these functions help hide | ||
the differences between IPv4 and IPv6, and can aid the reader | ||
in developing protocol-independent code. | ||
