Kermit Software - Licensing

• CLICK HERE for Kermit 95 pricing and licensing terms.

Most other Kermit software, including MS-DOS Kermit and C-Kermit, has special terms that allow it to be obtained over the network for your own use, or for use within your institution or company, without cost or license but does not allow it to be resold or otherwise provided to customers or clients of commercial enterprises, or included with any product (including CD-ROM software collections), without the written permission of Columbia University. Exception: As of version 7.0, C-Kermit is automatically licensed for inclusion with Open Source operating system distributions such as Linux, OpenBSD, and FreeBSD:
