1$OpenBSD: README,v 1.1 2001/08/18 13:12:57 espie Exp $ 2 3Some of the software in this subtree follows special rules. 4 5Specifically, the FSF not only wants the GPL licence, but they 6also insist that you assign your copyright to the FSF for anything 7but trivial changes. 8 9So: 10- check the history of external code before importing it. 11- be ready to arrange for copyright papers somewhat in advance if 12you want to work on it (the FSF takes a few months to process these). 13 14Otherwise, changes might not make it to the main distribution, and may 15need some further maintenance over time, or risk getting lost. 16 17Some internal changes are acceptable, but OpenBSD can't afford to maintain 18a complete separate toolchain on its own. 19
