Hi,

I am the legal advisor of a Swedish software company. The company has asked me to review the license conditions for several free and open source software items, among others the license conditions applicable to ncurses 5.5. My problem is that I have not managed to figure out under what license conditions the ncurses 5.5 is released. I've seen the AUHTORS-file pertaining to ncurses 5.7 and from what I understand the following license conditions apply to ncurses 5.7. Does the same license conditions apply to ncurses 5.5?

The same license applies to 4.2 (in 1998) onward.

Copyrights in each file refer to the dates of first publication for that
file, as well as when it was subsequently modified, etc.
