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

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