  11. Marcin,
  12. Re-distribution is permitted as long as the copyright is
  13. maintained and the source code is not changed. I do not
  14. see a problem with your mods to enable fileop for Linux-arm,
  15. as these mods have been returned to the Iozone folks,
  16. and they have been accepted for inclusion in the next
  17. release :-)
  18. Thank you for your contribution,
  19. Don Capps
