Hi.
Can anybody explain me for sure current license status of Microsoft
Point-to-Point Compression (MPPC) Protocol? It is not implemented in
FreeBSD for years and I think it would be good to change this.
In RFC 2118 told that "Source and object licenses are available on a
non-discriminatory basis from Stac Electronics". Does it means
requirement to get license to use HIFN implementation of this protocol
or also denies any other free implementation?
How does it coexist with Microsoft's "ROYALTY FREE PROTOCOL LICENSE
AGREEMENT", http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms818807.aspx.
Doesn't this agreement allows free implementation of server side
protocols for cooperation with Windows client systems?
