This is Debian GNU/Linux's prepackaged version of DOSEMU, the Linux
DOS emulator.  DOSEMU is a user-level program which uses certain special
features of the Linux kernel and the 80386 processor to run MS-DOS.

This package was put together by me, Mike Deisher
<deisher@dspsun.eas.asu.edu>, from the sources, which I obtained from
tsx-11.mit.edu:/pub/linux/ALPHA/dosemu/dosemu0.60.3.tgz.  The changes
were very minimal: adding support for the Debian package maintenance
scheme by adding various debian.* files.

This package was reconstructed according to the newest standards of the Debian
Project and the newest sources of dosemu by Christoph Lameter
<clameter@debian.org> in October 1996. Only minor parts of the old
modifications were kept.

This package was worked on by Herbert Xu <herbert@debian.org> based
on Christoph Lameter's release since January 1997.

It was downloaded from
ftp://ftp.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/system/emulators/dosemu/.

Modifications for Debian GNU/Linux Copyright (C) 1995 Mike Deisher.

1.   All sources in the official distribution of DOSEMU are
     (C) Copyright 1992, ..., 2004 the "DOSEMU-Development-Team"
     unless explicitly stated otherwise.

     The DOSEMU-Development-Team is legally represented by its
     current co-ordinator:

       1992          Matthias Lautner
       1993          Robert Sanders <gt8134b@prism.gatech.edu>
       1994 .. 1996  James MacLean <macleajb@ednet.ns.ca>
       1997 .. 2001  Hans Lermen <lermen@fgan.de>
       2001 .. now   Bart Oldeman <bart@dosemu.org> 

     Every co-ordinator passes on the right to represent to his successor.

2.   This copyright does not cover all parts of the DOSEMU code!
     Parts of the code not covered by the GPL are marked explicitly
     within the code, the rest of the code _is_ GPL.

3.   Some code, that was covered by GNU LIBRARY GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
     (GLGPL) has been transformed to GPL as is allowed by the GLGPL
     section 3. This code is marked with an appropriate text at the
     beginning of each file involved.

4.   The nature of DOSEMU requires the use of (ie "booting") a DOS, which 
     may be proprietary. This could be interpreted as 'library linking'
     the DOS functions to DOSEMU (this view comes from interpreting more
     into the current version (2) of the GPL than is actually defined).

     However, recent discussions about the scope of 'library linking' with
     GPL code and the possibility that future versions of the GPL may
     define this issue in a more restrictive manner, make it necessary to
     restrict the DOSEMU copyright explicitly to version 2 of the GPL.
                                              ============        ===

     We grant the right to use a proprietary DOS together with DOSEMU.

5.   Redistributors of DOSEMU sources must not re-package the official
     DOSEMU packages, including the compression method.
     Putting the unchanged compressed DOSEMU packages within envelops
     (e.g. *.rpm, *.deb, double compress) is allowed.

6.   This file (COPYING) has to be distributed unchanged together with
     the DOSEMU distribution or any derivative work. This prefix and
     the following appended GPL must not be separated.
