This is Debian GNU/Linux's prepackaged version of DOSEMU, the Linux DOS emulator. DOSEMU is a user-level program which uses certain special features of the Linux kernel and the 80386 processor to run MS-DOS. This package was put together by me, Mike Deisher , from the sources, which I obtained from tsx-11.mit.edu:/pub/linux/ALPHA/dosemu/dosemu0.60.3.tgz. The changes were very minimal: adding support for the Debian package maintenance scheme by adding various debian.* files. This package was reconstructed according to the newest standards of the Debian Project and the newest sources of dosemu by Christoph Lameter in October 1996. Only minor parts of the old modifications were kept. This package was worked on by Herbert Xu based on Christoph Lameter's release since January 1997. It was downloaded from ftp://ftp.dosemu.org/pub/dosemu/. Copyright --------- Modifications for Debian GNU/Linux Copyright (C) 1995 Mike Deisher. 1. All sources in the official distribution of DOSEMU are (C) Copyright 1992, ..., 2001 the "DOSEMU-Development-Team" unless explicitly stated otherwise. The DOSEMU-Development-Team is legaly represented by its current co-ordinator: 1992 Matthias Lautner 1993 Robert Sanders 1994 .. 1996 James MacLean 1997 .. now Hans Lermen Every co-ordinator passes the right to represent to his successor. 2. This copyright does not cover all parts of the DOSEMU code! Parts of the code not covered by the GPL are marked explicitly within the code, the rest of the code _is_ GPL. 3. Some code, that was covered by GNU LIBRARY GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE (GLGPL) has been transformed to GPL as is allowed by the GLGPL section 3. This code is marked with an appropriate text at the beginning of each file involved. 4. The nature of DOSEMU requires the use of (ie "booting") a DOS, which may be proprietary. This could be interpreted as 'library linking' the DOS functions to DOSEMU (this view comes from interpreting more into the current version (2) of the GPL than is actually defined). However, recent discussions about the scope of 'library linking' with GPL code and the possibility that future versions of the GPL may define this issue in a more restrictive manner make it necessary to restrict the DOSEMU copyright explicitely to version 2 of the GPL. ============ === We grant the right to use a proprietary DOS together with DOSEMU. 5.
