The KLH10 Auxiliary Distribution consists of all the components
(both
software and documentation) residing in the "contrib"
and "run"
directories of a typical installation of the KLH10 Distribution.
The KLH10 Distribution license does NOT apply to these components.
They are derived from several sources, each of which may have
its own
licensing terms. They are included solely for the convenience
of
users, and in order to avoid licensing conflicts have been made
available in the form of a separate "Auxiliary Distribution"
package.
They are subject to removal if their inclusion causes any legal
problems.
The Auxiliary Distribution package includes the following specific
components:
[1] PDP-10 software (bootstrap and diagnostic binaries) from Digital
Equipment Corporation (now Compaq Corporation). These may be used
only with a valid Digital license such as the "Home Hobbyist
License"
(see <http://pdp-10.trailing-edge.com/#license>).
The specific components are identified by various README files
in
the following subdirectories.
run/dfkfb/ - Digital (KL10) DFKFB timing test diagnostic binary
run/klnic/ - Digital (KL10 SRI-NIC) bootstrap binaries
run/klt10/ - Digital (KL10 TOPS-10) bootstrap binaries
run/klt20/ - Digital (KL10 TOPS-20) bootstrap binaries
run/kst10/ - Digital (KS10 TOPS-10) bootstrap binaries
run/kst20/ - Digital (KS10 TOPS-20) bootstrap binaries
[2] PDP-10 software derived from the MIT ITS systems. These are
believed to be usable on terms similar to those of the GNU Public
License.
The specific components are listed in the file "run/ksits/README".
run/ksits/ - MIT (KS10 ITS) system binaries
[3] Utility software from other contributors, where terms were
not
specifically stated but are believed to be similar to those of
the "BSD" style licenses (e.g. FreeBSD, NetBSD).
More detail is provided in the file "contrib/README"
and the
individual subdirectories.
contrib/supdup/ - Unix SUPDUP client and server
contrib/read20/ - Unix DUMPER tape image reader

To reiterate: If there is any likelihood that your intended use
may
violate any of the licensing terms of the separate components,
you
should NOT use them. If any of the original copyright holders
object
to this packaging, I will remove the offending components or simply
stop providing the Auxiliary Distribution altogether.
