Hi,
(This might not be the correct mailing list for this question, if so
please suggest another list and I'll repost my question on that list).
We are currently preparing the documentation for one our products that
uses the NetBSD-kernel and some of the standard libraries. To see what
copyright notices that should be included in the documentation I
searched the netbsd mailing list archives to see if I could get some
pointers on how to do this. I found the following mail by Jason R. Thorpe:
http://mail-index.netbsd.org/current-users/1997/06/13/0104.html
This mail contains the following paragraph:
The NetBSD Project intends, before the next release, to have a COPYRIGHT
docuemnt that has the necessary information in it. Up until now, vendors
have _always_ had to scour the entire source tree to make sure they're
adhering to all of the licenses. Such a document will make it easier
for them.
Has this COPYRIGHT document been written yet? If so where can I find it?
I've searched the ftp.netbsd.org and the netbsd cvs a bit but could not
find it.
If it has not been written yet I'd be very thankful for any information
on how other people have done this.
Thanks,
Erik
