Reiserfsprogs-license[LICENSING] ReiserFSprogs is hereby licensed under the GNU General Public License version 2 but with the following "Anti-Plagiarism" modification: You may not remove any credits or brand marks, or cause them to not display, unless you are an end user (that is, you are not redistributing to others). Yes, there really are people with the nerve to remove credits from software they did not write, or only wrote a small part of, and they are even frequently occurring sad to say. Credits are not ads, credits describe someone's contribution to the project (e.g. labor or money) whereas an ad says something else. Source code files that contain the phrase "licensing governed by reiserfsprogs/README" are "governed files" throughout that file. Governed files are licensed under this license. The portions of them owned by Hans Reiser, or authorized to be licensed by him, have been in the past, and likely will be in the future, licensed to other parties under other licenses. If you add your code to governed files, and don't want it to be owned by Hans Reiser, put your copyright label on that code so we can keep things straight. It will be a kindness if you identify whether Hans Reiser is allowed to license code labeled as owned by you on your behalf other than under this license, because he wants to know if it is okay to do so and put a check in the mail to you (for non-trivial improvements) when he makes his next sale. He makes no guarantees as to the amount if any, though he feels motivated to motivate contributors, and you can surely discuss this with him before or after contributing. You have the right to decline to allow him to license your code contribution other than under this license or the GPL. Further licensing options are available for commercial and/or other interests directly from reiser@namesys.com<P> [END LICENSING] (From README file) |
