The term of each of the Merit GateD Consortium licenses is 1 year.
The GateDaemon Consortium presents a formal structure to support and expand the current successful collaborations already in place to develop GateD functionality. The consortium:
Membership is open to all organizations interested in supporting and participating in the development of internetwork routing protocols. GateD software is available to GateD members only.
Redistribution of GateD binaries in commercial products is limited to GateD Commercial Members or Service Members. The development teams of GateD Commercial and Service members have access to the GateD source code, but source code may not be distributed in commercial products.
Merit's membership structure will change in January of 1997. The new GateD releases (version 4, version 5, and version 6) will only be available to GateD members.
GateD release 3.5 will be publically available via anonymous ftp or web, but will receive minimal additions.
Any members participating in the GateD consortium as of December 31, 1996 are considered members of the GateD-Unicast product group. Current Members can have immediate access to the Gated-Unicast source code.
GateD-Unicast members are eligible for the first release of the GateD-Multicast source for $15,000 initial payment. The first release of the GateD-Multicast source code will have DVMRP and the DVMRP MIB.

Across-Product Line memberships will include: Gold Membership and Technical Advisory Membership. Both memberships span two product lines. The other membership categories are in respect to a particular product line. Membership is a requirement for distribution of GateD sources or binaries.
Product-Based memberships are for a given product line. Product-Based memberships include: Commercial Membership, Small Compary Commercial Membership, Service Organization Membership, Small Service Organization Membership, Academic and Research Membership, and Academic Supporting Membership. For commercial redistrbution you need to become either a Commercial Member or a Small Commercial Member. For redistribution to support a Commercial Internet Service, you need to become either a Service Member or a Small Service Member. Each of the Commercial or Service memberships require a fee.
For redistribution of binaries and sources within the Academic and Research community, you must become Academic and Research member. The Technical Advisory memberships provide researchers access to GateD Development Team. A very limited number Technical Advisory memberships will be granted each year.
Gold members help bring the GateD to new heights of excellence!

This membership provides the Academic and Research community with the ability to schedule a large block of advisory time for a research project using GateD. A limited number of these Technical Advisory Memberships are available. A Technical Advisory Membership is good for all versions of GateD.
