Subject: cipe - encrypting IP tunnel, version 0.5.6
Date: Wed, 8 Apr 1998 14:27:08 GMT
=====BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE=====
CIPE is a system for simple, yet reasonably secure IP encryption.
It sends encrypted datagrams encapsulated in UDP. It is not compatible
with IPSEC or anything else (except my other prototype implementation).
Very lightweight and easy to handle. Comes with full description of
the protocol and usage examples.
GPLd and distributed from outside the USA.
Developed and tested on the Linux 2.0 series on i386 platform.
In theory it should run on other platforms; don't know about 2.1.
This package can be used to build "virtual private networks", i.e.
secure interconnection of subnetworks on top of the Internet. I use
it in such a situation for some months now.
Changes since 0.5.2:
- - Fixed an error which hangs TCP connections.
- - Now compiles under libc6 and with versioned kernels.
- - Removed a kernel symbol clash which confused "lsof".
(This changes the insmod arguments!)
- - Allows to set outgoing TTL to a fixed value. Behaves better with traceroute.
- - More flexible connection error handling.
Allows to ignore (almost) any errors when appropriate.
- - More syntax checking in options.
- - Fixed documentation errors.
- - Removed unneeded code.

http://www.cse.unsw.edu.au/~conradp/linux/pr/
This new site encourages Linux developers and users to write press
releases for free software. Sounds like a waste of time? Not really if
you think about it. Just because you're not directly making money doesn't
make a release unnewsworthy. This site has info about how and when to go
about writing a press release, and what to do with it once you've written
it.
In particular it'd be cool to get wide publication of the releases of
Linux 2.2 and Gimp 1.0. These are mature, stable products deserving of
widespread coverage. Given that the press have been quite partial to free
software stories lately, it should be quite easy to make these releases
widely known.

Subject: TEItools - a package of SGML utilities
Date: Wed, 8 Apr 1998 15:03:25 GMT
=====BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE=====
This is to announce public availability of TEItools bundle.
TEItools is bunch of tools for generating HTML, RTF, PS, PDF
output from single source document in SGML format. TEItools are easy to
use, easily internationalized software (English, Russian and Finnish
localization included).
TEItools have saved many hours of stupid work to our department,
where it is in production use for more than half year. Several people use
it for doing their job routinely, and in general tools look rather
stable. I hope that increasing user base will bring some new ideas for
further development.
Base DTD in use is TEI Lite, allowing for quite generic
application of the tools. DocBook is also becoming supported, as already
is Linuxdoc (AKA QWERTZ).
TEItools home site is http://xtalk.price.ru/SGML/TEItools.
Requirements:
1. Unix system (albeit almost everything should be portable
without much work);
2. Tcl 7.6 or 8.0.
3. CoST SGML processor.
4. nsgmls SGML parser.
All the tools are freely available. TEItools itself is published
under GNU general public license terms.

THE XFree86 PROJECT ANNOUNCES POSITION STATEMENT ABOUT X11R6.4 LICENSING
The XFree86 Project announces its position regarding the recently
announced licensing of X11R6.4 by The Open Group (TOG) of Cambridge MA.
"As a direct response to the new licensing terms made by TOG a week ago,
we have found it necessary to state publicly the position and future
direction with which The XFree86 Project will proceed," said David Dawes,
President of The XFree86 Project, Inc.
The X11R6.4 sample implementation (SI) from TOG comes with a new license.
The new licensing reduces the freedom with which their SI may be used.
This is because a license fee must now be paid by those who generate
revenue from distributing their SI or code derived from it. TOG has
stated that the X11 standards will, however, remain "open".
The TOG licensing change is incompatible with the goals of XFree86 and
most of the free software community that have been in communication with
The XFree86 Project directors over the last week. Some have made the
point that the change would make it extremely difficult for their projects
to ship physical media which contains TOG derived product, and they've
made their preference for unencumbered X11R6.3-based source releases
overwhelmingly clear. A fundamental part of XFree86's mission is service
to the free software community. As a result, The XFree86 Project is
opposed to TOG's new licensing terms.
The XFree86 Project will continue its development based on the freely
available X11R6.3 SI and, where appropriate, attempt to implement future
developments to the X11 standards independently of TOG. "It is our
intention to beef up our problem tracking system and request that people
sending bug fixes or enhanced source code to TOG also send them to us,
so that the free version of X can also benefit from them," said Dirk
Hohndel, Vice President of The XFree86 Project.
The XFree86 Project remains committed to providing a freely redistributable
(in source and binary form) implementation of X11. To this end, the
copyright and licensing of XFree86 code will continue to be of the BSD
style (as used by the X11 SI up to and including X11R6.3). These terms
allow TOG and others to integrate XFree86 code into their distributions
without a license fee or other financial consideration.
Linus Torvalds, principal author of the well known Linux operating
system, said "The XFree86 Project is doing the only reasonable thing in
this context. They have my full support in keeping the idea of free
software alive for the X Window System. I hope that the public will
recognize this important task and that many people and corporations will
continue to support XFree86. I will personally work with them to help
with their goals."
Garry Paxinos, Vice President of Metro Link Incorporated said "In keeping
with the original philosophy of the X Consortium, Metro Link believes
that the sample implementation of the X Window System should remain
unencumbered. The decision reached by the XFree86 Project to fork the
tree at R6.3 will ensure unrestricted access to the ongoing development
and enhancements to the core X technology. Metro Link endorses this
decision, and we will continue to contribute to and support the XFree86
Project."
Theo de Raadt, leader of the OpenBSD group said "The OpenBSD group is
massively pleased to know the X11 subsystems we ship on our 8 main
platforms will continue to be available freely. The fact that XFree86
runs on all our platforms and the TOG's X11R6 SI runs on two or so
shows that XFree86 has been doing a wonderful job of support for free
operating systems on multiple platforms."
The XFree86 Project, Inc is a non-profit corporation of the state of
Texas, USA. The primary charter is to design, implement, and distribute,
as free software, an implementation of the X Window System. The software
implements the X Window System specifications for many UNIX and UNIX-like
operating systems. All products of The XFree86 Project, Inc, are freely
available, and freely redistributable. Major supporters of XFree86
include Digital Equipment Corporation, Metro Link, Red Hat Software,
S.u.S.E. GmbH, and many others.
