You cannot redistribute the Lucent RADIUS 2.x in any form, source or binary.
You may distribute your patch file for other legal users to apply however -
others have already done this.
Obviously any joker being cute so that the patch file contains most or all or
the original source is asking for it. ;-)
Livingston/Lucent are trying to strike a balance. There was trouble in the
past with other vendors selling HW and not supplying a RADIUS server, and so
telling customers to just grab Livingston's server. Livingston was doing the
work, supplying the server opening to customers, and other vendors were
riding on the coattails. At first this was ok, it helped RADIUS catch on.
But more and more RADIUS servers popped up that were just modified Livingston
code. By the time RADIUS 2.0 was released there was a solid market of
commercial RADIUS servers, many vendors had their own, and there were
established freeware servers. Since they'd done a lot of work adding
SecurID, menus, etc, making 2.0 a real jump from 1.16, it was deciced to
limit distribution to customers only to protect the engineering investment.
So the change really doesn't have much impact on PortMaster users.
