Re: FTP server options

[Esben Stien <executiv () online no>]

I've used pureftpd for a very long time and was very happy with it until it changed it's license to bsd. I've written 
to the author and asked if he held the entire copyright to the software, which would mean he had the right to change 
the license from the original gpl one, but have gotten no reply. I'm now switching to proftpd on all my systems.
