Preserve credits and obtain/review those inherited terms. Compatibility and security warnings Pthread DNS server and integration tested against PG+ 1.0.11. IPv4/gethostbyaddr_r portability, worker lifecycle, pipe/fork handling, queue limits and buffer termination need review. Reverse DNS is not identity authentication.

Historical contact addresses may no longer work. Archive validation is not malware clearance or redistribution approval.
