Files: astrodocsrc/* Copyright: 1997-2008 Astrodienst AG 1997-2008 Dieter Koch 1997-2008 Alois Treindl Comment: The files astrodocsrc/swephprg.doc astrodocsrc/swisseph.doc were found in ftp://ftp.astro.com/pub/swisseph/sweph.zip from astrodienst. The LICENSE below is from that .zip file. Because this file is not version numbered it is wiped out by each new astrodienst release from the astrodienst ftp site. Therefore, Swiss Emphermis Autotools archives these files in version numbered dependent subdirectories. Thus the file: http://download.gna.org/swissephauto/astrodienst/sweph1.78/sweph.zip will contain the 1.78 version of the doc files. Confirm-copywrite.email (below) confirms that these files are covered by astrodienst's GPL license as well. . ------------------------- Delivered-To: pelliott@blackpatchpanel.com Received: by 10.52.159.226 with SMTP id xf2cs93060vdb; Tue, 29 Mar 2011 01:07:19 -0700 (PDT) Received: by 10.227.197.83 with SMTP id ej19mr4797030wbb.105.1301386038890; Tue, 29 Mar 2011 01:07:18 -0700 (PDT) Return-Path: Received: from as80.astro.ch (mail.astro.ch [192.53.104.2]) by mx.google.com with ESMTPS id n7si8149596wbg.19.2011.03.29.01.07.17 (version=TLSv1/SSLv3 cipher=OTHER); Tue, 29 Mar 2011 01:07:17 -0700 (PDT) Received-SPF: pass (google.com: domain of alois@astro.ch designates 192.53.104.2 as permitted sender) client-ip=192.53.104.2; Authentication-Results: mx.google.com; spf=pass (google.com: domain of alois@astro.ch designates 192.53.104.2 as permitted sender) smtp.mail=alois@astro.ch Received: from atmac-3.local (localhost [127.0.0.1]) (authenticated bits=0) by as80.astro.ch (8.13.8/8.13.8) with ESMTP id p2T87Gor026071 for ; Tue, 29 Mar 2011 10:07:16 +0200 Message-ID: <4D919334.5030109@astro.ch> Date: Tue, 29 Mar 2011 10:07:16 +0200 From: Alois Treindl User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.5; en-US; rv:1.9.2.15) Gecko/20110303 Thunderbird/3.1.9 MIME-Version: 1.0 To: Paul Elliott Subject: Re: [SWISSEPH] Swiss Ephemeris into Linux distros; please release source to pdfs.
