COPYING CONDITIONS ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This is a little complicated. First of all, I hope all things are handled correctly. I don't want to bother anyone and I don't want to break any copyright terms. If you think I made a mistake, please contact me. The source code of the FreeMiNT CVS repository is based on several different packages with different copying terms. I spent a lot of time lately doing the same things on every package I updated over and over again. Furthermore, large parts of the code were identical in some of the packages. So my main goal was to get rid of such time consuming jobs, making FreeMiNT development much more efficient. CVS, a freely available source control system, helped a lot in achieving this goal. It handles a unique source base (the CVS master tree) and records every change with the exact date, the author and a changelog message. For that to work I had to restructure the kernel source, the modules, and the tools into one source hierarchy. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Here now a short summary which parts of the source tree apply to which copyright terms. ====================================================================== ==> Please look at the header of the files for exact informations! <== ====================================================================== This is just a hint how things are sorted. Files that fall under the GPL are marked with `COPYING.GPL'. sys/ - COPYING.MiNT if copyright is held by Eric Smith, otherwise it's stated at the top of the file adi - COPYING.GPL gen-syscall/ - COPYING.GPL sockets/ - Copyright Kay Roemer, see sys/sockets/COPYING xif/ - various authors, see file header xdd/ - COPYING.GPL if not stated otherwise flop_raw/ - Public Domain xfs/ ext2fs/ - COPYING.GPL minixfs/ - Copyright S.N.
