20 Re-distribution is permitted as long as the copyright is
21 maintained and the source code is not changed. I do not
22 see a problem with your mods to enable fileop for Linux-arm,
23 as these mods have been returned to the Iozone folks,
24 and they have been accepted for inclusion in the next
25 release :-)

27Thank you for your contribution,

40> I want to include iozone3 in OpenEmbedded [1] metadata to give it for
41> other developers. Currently OE is used to build few distributions for
42> misc platforms: ARM, SH3, SH4, x86, PowerPC and different types of
43> machines (PDA, settopbox, devboards, desktops, thin clients, routers).
44>
45> According to your distribution of derivations is forbidden. Packaging
46> iozone3 in OpenEmbedded will not involve any source code changes. But
47> when I was building it for ARM I discovered that fileop binary was not
48> built - so I created patch for it (attached). Not yet tested it on target
49> device.
50>
51> Thus, I seek your written permission via e-mail to distribute a package of
52> the unmodified source code and also a package of the pre-compiled binary.
53> Your copyright statement will be included in the package.
