Hi,
I am the legal advisor of a Swedish software
company. The company has asked me to review the license conditions for several free
and open source software items, among others the license conditions applicable
to ncurses 5.5. My problem is that I have not managed to figure out under what
license conditions the ncurses 5.5 is released. I’ve seen the AUHTORS-file
pertaining to ncurses 5.7 and from what I understand the following license
conditions apply to ncurses 5.7. Does the same license conditions apply to
ncurses 5.5?
