This package, the EXT2 filesystem utilities, are made available under

the GNU Public License.

However, I request that if the version string in the file version.h

contains the string "pre-", or "WIP" that this version of e2fsprogs be

distributed in source form only. Please feel free to give a copy of

the e2fsck binary to help a friend recover his or her filesystem, as

the need arises. However, "pre" or "WIP" indicates that this release

is under development, and available for ALPHA testing. So for your

protection as much as mine, I'd prefer that it not appear in a some

distribution --- especially not a CD-ROM distribution!

The most recent officially distributed version can be found at

http://e2fsprogs.sourceforge.net. If you need to make a distribution,

that's the one you should use. If there is some reason why you'd like

a more recent version that is still in ALPHA testing for your

distribution, please contact me (tytso@mit.edu), and we will very

likely be able to work out something that will work for all concerned.

The release schedules for this package are flexible, if you give me

enough lead time.
