Hmmmm guys I don't know... I was wondering if we could redistribute that package over the coral network... what do you think?

pjk:
I also was wondering about the pedigree of extra.zip.
The zip include a text file which identifies the packager as Julian Smart and the source as UnxUtils.
I have previously searched for the same utilities to enable the scintilla make files to work under cmd.exe and found them at  http://unxutils.sourceforge.net/ which I presume is the same source.
This site  authored by  Karl M. Syring. There are a number of utilities, the origin of some is given but there is no discussion of licence.

The source code is available through CVS attached to http://sourceforge.net/projects/unxutils

cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/unxutils login
 
cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/unxutils co -P unxutils
I have downloaded the source and the file utilities appear to be early GNU and are therefore freely distributable.
I enclose a header from the cp.c. There is however no copy of the the GNU General Public Licence.

If you made the source available it would seem ok to resdistribute

does gnu prevent binary only redistribution or just modifications to the source requiring bundling the source (with modifications)?

It doesn't require you to bundle the source, but it does require the source to be available to anyone who can obtain the binaries.
Bundling the source is one way to make sure of that, but you can also put it in a separate download or just only distribute the source.
