Reiserfs is a file system based on balanced tree algorithms, which is described

[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.
