This package, the EXT2 filesystem utilities, are made available under
the GNU Public License version 2, with the exception of the lib/uuid
directory which is made available under a BSD-style license and the
lib/et and lib/ss libraries which are made available under an
MIT-style license. Please see lib/uuid/COPYING for more details for
the license for the files comprising the libuuid library, and the
source file headers of the libet and libss libraries for more
information.
However, I request that if the version string in the file version.h
contains the string "pre-", or "WIP" that this version of e2fsprogs be
distributed in source form only. Please feel free to give a copy of
the e2fsck binary to help a friend recover his or her filesystem, as
the need arises. However, "pre" or "WIP" indicates that this release
is under development, and available for ALPHA testing. So for your
protection as much as mine, I'd prefer that it not appear in a some
distribution --- especially not a CD-ROM distribution!

The most recent officially distributed version can be found at
http://e2fsprogs.sourceforge.net. If you need to make a distribution,
that's the one you should use. If there is some reason why you'd like
a more recent version that is still in ALPHA testing for your
distribution, please contact me (tytso@mit.edu), and we will very
likely be able to work out something that will work for all concerned.
The release schedules for this package are flexible, if you give me
enough lead time.

using the "WIP" test distributions or one from the hg or git
