| [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. |
