I am happy to report that IBM Legal has approved a request to re-license <br>
the original 31 October 2000 IBM DeveloperWorks OpenAFS 1.0 distribution <br>
under GPLv2. The announcement was made today by Todd deSantis of IBM's <br>
AFS Support organization in an e-mail to the OpenAFS Developer's mailing <br>
list.<br>

<br>
This announcement is the result of more than a decade of behind the <br>
scene efforts. Yet it is just the first step in the journey that the <br>
OpenAFS community must complete before a GPLv2 OpenAFS Linux kernel <br>
module can be distributed.<br>
