B.08.10 / Release Notes / Third Party Software

Acknowledgements and Third Party Software

 
.
 
"If I have been able to see farther, it was only because I stood on the shoulders of giants." (Sir Isaac Newton)
Eloquence B.08.10 includes or makes use of the the following third party and open source projects that helped us creating or porting the Eloquence product.


query3k

The Eloquence QUERY3K application is based on the original MPE Query/iX sources that were converted to C (using SPLash!/UX) and modified for portability. We would like to thank Allegro Consultants for their help.

The QUERY3K software and documentation is based in part on HP software and documentation under license from Hewlett-Packard Company. HP is a trademark of Hewlett-Packard Company. Parts of this software are Copyright 2004 Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.

QUERY3K uses the INTRINS/iX toolkit from Allegro Consultants, Inc and the SORT intrinsics replacement from Redstone Technologies, Inc.

QUERY3K on Windows uses a portable regex implementation created by Henry Spencer.


OpenSSL

The database encryption option, when enabled, makes use of cryptographic software released by the OpenSSL project which is not included with Eloquence, but installed separately.

The OpenSSL Project is a collaborative effort to develop a robust, commercial-grade, full-featured, and Open Source toolkit implementing the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL v2/v3) and Transport Layer Security (TLS v1) protocols as well as a full-strength general purpose cryptography library. The project is managed by a worldwide community of volunteers that use the Internet to communicate, plan, and develop the OpenSSL toolkit and its related documentation.

OpenSSL is based on the SSLeay library developed by Eric A. Young and Tim J. Hudson. The OpenSSL toolkit is licensed under an Apache-style licence, which basically means that you are free to get and use it for commercial and non-commercial purposes subject to some simple license conditions.


Apache Web Server

The Eloquence Apache Web server module (used with Eloquence WEBDLG) makes use of software developed by the Apache HTTP Server Project.

The Apache HTTP Server Project is an effort to develop and maintain an open-source HTTP server for modern operating systems including UNIX and Windows NT. The goal of this project is to provide a secure, efficient and extensible server that provides HTTP services in sync with the current HTTP standards.

The Apache HTTP Server ("httpd") is a project of The Apache Software Foundation.


Pthreads-win32 - POSIX Threads Library for Win32

The Eloquence database server on the Windows platform uses Software from the Pthreads-win32 project. The pthread-win32 software implements a sizeable subset of the POSIX Threads (pthreads) functionality on Windows.

Pthreads-win32 is free software, distributed under the GNU Lesser General Public License (LGPL).

PDCurses

Eloquence on the Windows platform uses functionality based on PDCurses for its screen output handling on Windows. The PDCurses software is distributed under the following license:

PDCurses is Public Domain software. You may use this code for 
whatever purposes you desire. This software is provided AS IS 
with NO WARRANTY whatsoever. 

Should this software be used in another application, an 
acknowledgement that PDCurses code is used would be appreciated, 
but is not mandatory.

Any changes which you make to this software which may improve 
or enhance it, should be forwarded to the current maintainer for 
the benefit of other users.

The only restriction placed on this code is that no distribution 
of modified PDCurses code be made under the PDCurses name, by 
anyone other than the current maintainer.
 
See the file maintain.er for details of the current maintainer.


Berkeley yacc

Eloquence on the Linux and Windows platforms use the Berkeley Yacc parser generator.

Berkeley Yacc is an LALR(1) parser generator. Berkeley Yacc has been made as compatible as possible with AT&T Yacc.

Berkeley Yacc is distributed with no warranty whatever. The code is certain to contain errors. Neither the author nor any contributor takes responsibility for any consequences of its use.

Outerbridge.
Thanks to: Dan Hoey for his excellent Initial and Inverse 
permutation code;  Jim Gillogly & Phil Karn for the DES key 
schedule code; Dennis Ferguson, Eric Young and Dana How for 
comparing notes; and Ray Lau, for humouring me on.
