Note: This section is under construction. +

The goals of the FreeBSD Project are to provide software that may +be used for any purpose and without strings attached. Many of us +have a significant investment in the code (and project) and would +certainly not mind a little financial renumeration now and then, +but we're definitely not prepared to insist on it. We believe +that our first and foremost "mission" is to provide code to any +and all comers, and for whatever purpose, so that the code gets +the widest possible use and provides the widest possible benefit. +This is, I believe, one of the most fundamental goals of Free +Software and one that we enthusiastically support. +

That code in our source tree which falls under the GNU Public License +(GPL) or GNU Library Public License (GLPL) comes with slightly more +strings attached, though at least on the side of enforced +access rather than the usual opposite. Due to the additional +complexities that can evolve in the commercial use of GPL software, +we do, however, endeavor to replace such software with submissions +under the more relaxed BSD copyright whenever possible. diff --git a/handbook/hw.sgml b/handbook/hw.sgml index d992a8a4b9..e2f48d8b41 100644 --- a/handbook/hw.sgml +++ b/handbook/hw.sgml @@ -1,4 +1,4 @@ - + + Contributing to FreeBSD @@ -401,7 +401,7 @@ THEORY OF LIABILITY, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, STRICT LIABILITY, OR TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE OR OTHERWISE) ARISING IN ANY WAY OUT OF THE USE OF THIS SOFTWARE, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGE. - $Id: submitters.sgml,v 1.2.4.4 1996-07-12 16:33:27 jkh Exp $ + $Id: submitters.sgml,v 1.2.4.5 1996-07-16 16:01:35 jkh Exp $ For your convenience, a copy of this text can be found in /usr/share/examples/etc/bsd-style-copyright. @@ -495,13 +495,19 @@ like to publically thank them here! - has generously donated funding to the further development of FreeBSD + has generously donated funding for the further development of FreeBSD has generously donated funding to FreeBSD. + Technology Corporation">has generously donated funding for FreeBSD + development. + has generously donated funding for + FreeBSD development. + + in Japan has graciously donated a portion of their profits from the sale of their FreeBSD for PC98'ers CD, a port of FreeBSD to
