Third party software
The LANTIME network timeserver is running a number of software products
created and/or maintained by open source projects. A lot of people contributed to this
and we explicitly want to thank everyone involved for her/his great work.
The used open source software comes with its own license which we want to mention
below. If one of the licenses for a third party software product is violated, we will as
soon as possible apply any changes needed in order to conform with the
corresponding license after we acknowledged about that violation.
If a license for one of the software products states that we have to provide you with a
copy of the source code or other material, we will gladly send it to you on data media
via normal post or by e-mail upon request. Alternatively we can provide you with a
link to a download location in the internet, allowing you to download the most actual
version. Please note that we have to charge you for any incurred expenses if you
choose to receive the source code on data media.
Operating System GNU/Linux
The distribution of the GNU/Linux operating system is covered by the GNU
General Public License (GPL), which we included below.
More information about GNU/Linux can be found on the GNU website
(
www.gnu.org ) and on the website of GNU/Linux ( www.linux.org ).
Our version of the Linux kernel has been optimized for the time server application by
applying the so-called PPSkit-patch from Ulrich Windl.
Samba
The Samba software suite is a collection of programs, which implement the Server
Message Block (SMB) protocol for UNIX systems. By using Samba your Lantime is
capable of sending Windows popup messages and serves request for network time by
clients using the NET TIME command.
The distribution of Samba is covered – like GNU/Linux – by the GNU General Public
License, see below.
The website of the Samba project (or a mirror) can be reached at www.samba.org !
