I have developed modifications to Conor Cahill's marvelous malloc debugging
replacement which allows it to run in a VMS VAXCRTL replacement.  I would like
to submit these mods to Conor for inclusion with the package he submits to
comp.sources.

Part of these mods were creating a transfer vector source to allow building
the RTL itself.  In the fiche (I'll be truthful, I typed it in from there but
we have it legally so this was ok, at least for us), this module is
copyrighted by DEC.

My question is: can I legally include the transfer vector, assuming I include
the DEC copyright notice.  I'm willing to entertain any reasonable requirements
DEC may find it necessary to impose.  Also, if I am violating DEC licensing
policy or copyrights now, please let me know - my reading of the appropriate
licenses/copyrights leads me to believe I am not.

I am speaking as an individual here and cannot bind my employer in any way.

Please respond by Email and I will summarize the resultant opinion.  Thanks.
