[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.
