Vacation 1.2.7.0 was completely rebased from the version here:

http://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/vacation/

which is licensed under the modified BSD license (no advertising clause).

The earlier versions I inherited at SourceForge were based on the original =
BSD=20
license with advertising clause which wasn't GPL compatible and a big issue=
=20
because it was linking against gdbm!

I contacted Eric Allman (the original author) about the licensing before=20
rebasing in 2006 and he wrote:

# The advertising clause is obsolete at this point --- the Regents declared=
 it
# to be null-and-void several years ago.  You can strip it off with no
# problem.

Agreed! I'll try and get to that in the near future, and clean up the docs.=
=20

Sorry about the confusion,
