Chris, could you please answer Charless question below saying
an we assume that the files have been automagically relicensed to the
Lucent public license since this is what
http://plan9.bell-labs.com/plan9dist/download.html now indirectly refers
to, or do we have to contact the copyright holders to as them to
relicense their work?
Kind regards and thanks for working as ftpmaster
Andreas.

Ouch, these files use the Plan 9 license, which is not free according to the FSF:
http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/plan-nine.html
Nevertheless, Plan 9 is now distributed under the Lucent public license, which
is free according to the OSI:
http://plan9.bell-labs.com/plan9/license.html
The change of license has been done between the third and fourth edition of Plan 9:
http://plan9.bell-labs.com/plan9/about.html
The old Plan 9 license has been replaced everywhere by the Lucent public
license, to the point that I had difficulties to find a copy
(http://svn.pardus.org.tr/uludag/trunk/pisi/licenses/PLAN9).
Can we assume that the files have been automagically relicensed to the Lucent
public license since this is what
http://plan9.bell-labs.com/plan9dist/download.html now indirectly refers to, or
do we have to contact the copyright holders to as them to relicense their work?
Have a nice day,
