To respond to all the talk about how you can/can't use FWTK. Let me clarify. The license that one agrees to when downloading FWTK indicates that it cannot be used in a "re-sell" enviorment. This means that an organization or an individual cannot take FWTK, modify the code, and resell the product to a third party. FWTK is free for all, and free for use on Commercial networks if one chooses to. This is a "not for profit" firewall package that has no support from TIS, NAI or PGP. It has always been the policy of TIS, Network Associates and PGP Security that FWTK can be used in a commercial enviorment without having to pay royalties or license fees of any form to Network Associates or PGP Security, if used and implemented in the manor described above. If one wishes to upgrade to a full blown version of the Gauntlet VPN Firewall, that is thier choice, but not mandatory if one wishes to use FWTK in thier company. Thank you! -GJ "cheat sheet" Can: You can download and use for free in your organization or corporation Can't: You cannot re-sell FWTK or modify the code and re-sell. This is a "not for profit" firewall. -----Original Message----- From: ark () eltex ru [mailto:ark () eltex ru] Sent: Thursday, September 28, 2000 4:42 AM To: Phil_Udel () salemleasing com Cc: fwtk-users () ex tis com; firewall-wizards () nfr net Subject: [fw-wiz] Re: FWTK Lic Questions -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- nuqneH, Sounds damn strange. The license is clear enough. Could you please provide us the name of that asshole? Hope NAI will fsck him for spreading bullshit. That looks quite bad, though. Not because they will send software cops to you - just because NAI is too big to control itself and it is bad for fwtk. Speaking on licensing and development, looks like they simply can not find a person inside the company who is responsible for fwtk and has the power to make decisions on it. I am cc'ing to firewall-wizards. BTW if you don't know that, t.rex contains some fwtk code too. "Phil Udel" <Phil_Udel () salemleasing com> said :

sure I did. I don't know the history of this product or the company, so= here are my questions. Question 1:Has the FWTC always been a non-profit= product? Question Two: has anyone else had to pay for the FWTK.

Three: If so How much did you pay? Thanks Phillip Udel Admin () SalemLeasing com (800) 877-2536 Ext 212
