From: dbr@cybvax0.UUCP (Douglas Robinson) We are in need of the source to the pcc C compiler. I believe said source was distributed over the net recently (but before our site got on the usenet/news boat). Could someone who archived it/is using it please mail me a note (so I can request but ONE copy)? Mr. Robinson is probably confusing S.C. Johnson's PCC with the DECUS C preprocessor which Martin Minow posted recently, but it brings up an important point: DON'T DISTRIBUTE SOFTWARE UNDER LICENSE TO UNLICENSED SITES. The DECUS software is public-domain, the PCC is NOT. We haven't had any lawyers dump on us for iffy things like contextual difference files with licensed sources, but requests like this could really get us in trouble. I doubt Mr. Robinson meant any harm, but I am sending this message out so that people who may have been confused by his mistake don't get in trouble. Please DON'T mail him the PCC.
