There you go, trying to make sense of a Monroy posting.  Shame on you!!
You should know better.

Read what Vixie posted shortly before:  the point is that the code can be
redistributed, but the CD also contains non-redistributable documentation
written by Jolitz, and consequently you can extract the code and put it
up for ftp, but you can't put the whole CDROM on line for public access.
