From 0d8367f0f79275743801453865446b8910344cf3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Michael Kerrisk Date: Tue, 5 Jul 2016 10:54:44 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] getitimer.2: Change license to note that page may be modified The page as originally written carried text that said the page may be freely distributed but made no statement about modification. In the 20+ years since it was first written, the page has in fact seen repeated, sometimes substantial, modifications, and only a small portion of the original text remains. One could I suppose rewrite the last few pieces that remain from the original, but as the largest contributor to the pages existing text, I'm just going to relicense it to explicitly note that modification is permitted. (I presume the failure by the original author to grant permission to modify was simply an oversight; certainly, the large number of people who have changed the page have taken that to be the case.)
