Origin of the uC/IP TCP/IP/PPP stack
------------------------------------
uC/IP TCP/IP/PPP stack implementation was put together by Guy Lancaster <glanca@gesn.com> from Global Election Systems, Inc. According to the author, the majority of the code is ported from public sources including BSD Lite and KA9Q (and its derivatives) and carries copyright notices from those sources. Essentially TCP is based on KA9Q but with ideas from BSD, IP is a simple implementation supporting BSD structures, ICMP is ported from BSD, and PPP is ported from the BSD version of the distribution common to BSD, Linux, and many other systems.

Original uC/IP sources are available from:
