This is the Debian GNU/Linux prepackaged version of Mark Lord's symlinks utility. This package was put together by Bernd Eckenfels . It is currently maintained by Sven Joachim , the original sources for this version can be found at http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/utils/file/symlinks-1.4.tar.gz. Copyright (C) 2009 Mark Lord, freely distributable License clarification as found in Bug #273338: Hi, My "symlinks" utility pre-dates the "open source licensing" fad by a number of years. Just to clarify, this is 100% freeware, written entirely by myself. The intent is to use it to detect missing/obsolete symlink targets on an installed distro, before creating the "gold" (or "final") release discs. Use and distribute and modify as you (or anyone else) sees fit. There have no formal restrictions or requirements whatsoever regarding distribution of either binaries or source code, whether modified or original.
