--- Comment #1 from Steve Jacobson <sjac998 at yahoo.com> ---
This references the original 0.3.2 tarball from 2010.  It also contains patches
for my IPv6 changes.  I put myself down as maintainer.

I tested the code on FreeBSD 8.4, i386, and FreeBSD 10.2, amd64.  I built the
sock.shar file on 10.2.

The license is generic educational on all the source files.  Only one file
mentions "GPL", and that is sock.spec, the RPM spec file, which was added later
by a Linux person.  We should not need that file.

Testing with this program shows that a number of socket options that are
supported for IPv4 are not supported for IPv6.  I don't know if anyone is
concerned about this in practice.
