sortix--sortix/libm/LEGAL

Legal Information
=================

The Sortix Math Library (libm) is based on the NetBSD Math Library, with pieces
taken from the NetBSD C library and kernel. The upstream sources were adapted
for inclusion into the Sortix operating system. The library itself is licensed
under various BSD-style licenses with some parts in the public domain. Almost
all files have proper copyright notices that describe their license and who the
copyright belongs to. The few files that do not contain such explicit notices
are likely NetBSD-licensed as the files originate come from that project.

This library is licensed under the following licenses.

Public Domain
-------------

The public domain files usually contains statements such as:

/*
 * Written by J.T. Conklin <jtc@NetBSD.org>.
 * Public domain.
 */

This may be slightly problematic as the concept of public domain doesn't exist
in all jurisdictions.

Winning Strategies
------------------

A few files currently still contain advertisement clauses. In particular, these
files require attribution of Winning Strategies:

* arch/i387/e_exp.S
* arch/x86_64/e_exp.S

However, the author of those files have released a lot of similar files into the
public domain that once had this license. It's likely that these files were
overlooked when the license was changed and their license was changed as well.

University of California License
--------------------------------

Some of the files originate back from the Berkeley Software Distribution (BSD).
These originally contained the advertisement clause, which was deleted entirely
in 1999 by the university. The license for these files today is something like:

/*-

Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory
----------------------------

A few files contain the above University of California License as well as this
additional statement

 * This software was developed by the Computer Systems Engineering group
 * at Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory under DARPA contract BG 91-66 and
 * contributed to Berkeley.

Historically, the files that contained this statement also had another
advertisement statement, but these were deleted in the NetBSD sources.

SunPro License
--------------

A lot of files were developed by SunPro and bear this permissive license:

/*
 * ====================================================
 * Copyright (C) 1993 by Sun Microsystems, Inc. All rights reserved.
 *
 * Developed at SunPro, a Sun Microsystems, Inc. business.
 * Permission to use, copy, modify, and distribute this
 * software is freely granted, provided that this notice
 * is preserved.
 * ====================================================
 */

CMU License
-----------

The file src/modf_ieee754.c has the following license:

/*
 * Copyright (c) 1994, 1995 Carnegie-Mellon University.
 * All rights reserved.
 *
 * Author: Chris G. Demetriou
 *
 * Permission to use, copy, modify and distribute this software and
 * its documentation is hereby granted, provided that both the copyright
 * notice and this permission notice appear in all copies of the
 * software, derivative works or modified versions, and any portions
 * thereof, and that both notices appear in supporting documentation.
 *
 * CARNEGIE MELLON ALLOWS FREE USE OF THIS SOFTWARE IN ITS "AS IS"
 * CONDITION.  CARNEGIE MELLON DISCLAIMS ANY LIABILITY OF ANY KIND
 * FOR ANY DAMAGES WHATSOEVER RESULTING FROM THE USE OF THIS SOFTWARE.
 *
 * Carnegie Mellon requests users of this software to return to
 *
 *  Software Distribution Coordinator  or  Software.Distribution@CS.CMU.EDU
 *  School of Computer Science
 *  Carnegie Mellon University
 *  Pittsburgh PA 15213-3890
 *
 * any improvements or extensions that they make and grant Carnegie the
 * rights to redistribute these changes.
 */

The wording of the last clause is a bit worrying, as I am not sure whether it is
a requirement or whether granting such rights is optional. Perhaps this file
should be replaced.

NetBSD License
--------------

A lot of the files originate from the NetBSD project and bear its standard
license (Simplified BSD License). These files contain statements much like this:

/*-
 * Copyright (c) 2003 The NetBSD Foundation, Inc.
 * All rights reserved.
 *
 * This code is derived from software contributed to The NetBSD Foundation
 * by Klaus Klein.
 *

 * modification, are permitted provided that the following conditions
 * are met:

 *    notice, this list of conditions and the following disclaimer.
 * 2. Redistributions in binary form must reproduce the above copyright
 *    notice, this list of conditions and the following disclaimer in the
 *    documentation and/or other materials provided with the distribution.
 *

 * 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.
 */

A few files that was copied from upstream NetBSD bear no license but contain
the usual $NetBSD revision control tag - those can probably be assumed to be
under this license.

Other BSD-Licenses
------------------

A few files are BSD-style licensed, but don't originate with NetBSD. The license
is identical to the NetBSD license in almost every case. These files are
copyrighted by:

* David Schultz
* Steven G. Kargl
* Matthias Drochner

Sortix Math Library License
---------------------------

The library was modified to adapt it to the Sortix operating system. These
changes were intended to be licensed like the rest of the library, and so the
license is identical to the NetBSD license:

/*-
 * Copyright (c) 2013 Jonas 'Sortie' Termansen.
 * All rights reserved.
 *

 * modification, are permitted provided that the following conditions
 * are met:

 *    notice, this list of conditions and the following disclaimer.
 * 2. Redistributions in binary form must reproduce the above copyright
 *    notice, this list of conditions and the following disclaimer in the
 *    documentation and/or other materials provided with the distribution.
 *
 * THIS SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED BY THE AUTHOR ``AS IS'' AND ANY EXPRESS OR
 * IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES
 * OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE ARE DISCLAIMED.
 * IN NO EVENT SHALL THE AUTHOR BE LIABLE FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT,
 * INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES (INCLUDING, BUT
 * NOT LIMITED TO, PROCUREMENT OF SUBSTITUTE GOODS OR SERVICES; LOSS OF USE,
 * DATA, OR PROFITS; OR BUSINESS INTERRUPTION) HOWEVER CAUSED AND ON ANY
 * THEORY OF LIABILITY, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, STRICT LIABILITY, OR TORT
 * (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE OR OTHERWISE) ARISING IN ANY WAY OUT OF THE USE OF
