- [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>

- Hideous Commercial Pitch: Spread your development costs across other OS
- vendors. Select from the best in the world, not the best in your building, by
- buying from third party OS component suppliers. Leverage the software component
- development power of the internet. Be the most aggressive in taking advantage
- of the commercial possibilities of decentralized internet development, and add
- value through your branded integration that you sell as an operating system.
- Let your competitors be the ones to compete against the entire internet by
- themselves. Be hip, get with the new economic trend, before your competitors
- do. Send email to reiser@namesys.com.
