control with that entity. For the purposes of this definition,
"control" means (i) the power, direct or indirect, to cause the
direction or management of such entity, whether by contract or
otherwise, or (ii) ownership of fifty percent (50%) or more of the
outstanding shares, or (iii) beneficial ownership of such entity.
"You" (or "Your") shall mean an individual or Legal Entity

not limited to compiled object code, generated documentation,
and conversions to other media types.
"Work" shall mean the work of authorship, whether in Source or
Object form, made available under the License, as indicated by a
copyright notice that is included in or attached to the work
(an example is provided in the Appendix below).
"Derivative Works" shall mean any work, whether in Source or Object
form, that is based on (or derived from) the Work and for which the
editorial revisions, annotations, elaborations, or other modifications
represent, as a whole, an original work of authorship. For the purposes
of this License, Derivative Works shall not include works that remain
separable from, or merely link (or bind by name) to the interfaces of,
the Work and Derivative Works thereof.
"Contribution" shall mean any work of authorship, including
the original version of the Work and any modifications or additions
to that Work or Derivative Works thereof, that is intentionally
submitted to Licensor for inclusion in the Work by the copyright owner
or by an individual or Legal Entity authorized to submit on behalf of
the copyright owner. For the purposes of this definition, "submitted"
means any form of electronic, verbal, or written communication sent
to the Licensor or its representatives, including but not limited to
communication on electronic mailing lists, source code control systems,
and issue tracking systems that are managed by, or on behalf of, the
Licensor for the purpose of discussing and improving the Work, but
excluding communication that is conspicuously marked or otherwise
designated in writing by the copyright owner as "Not a Contribution."
"Contributor" shall mean Licensor and any individual or Legal Entity
on behalf of whom a Contribution has been received by Licensor and
subsequently incorporated within the Work.
2. Grant of Copyright License. Subject to the terms and conditions of
this License, each Contributor hereby grants to You a perpetual,
worldwide, non-exclusive, no-charge, royalty-free, irrevocable
copyright license to reproduce, prepare Derivative Works of,
publicly display, publicly perform, sublicense, and distribute the
Work and such Derivative Works in Source or Object form.
3. Grant of Patent License. Subject to the terms and conditions of
this License, each Contributor hereby grants to You a perpetual,
worldwide, non-exclusive, no-charge, royalty-free, irrevocable
(except as stated in this section) patent license to make, have made,
use, offer to sell, sell, import, and otherwise transfer the Work,
where such license applies only to those patent claims licensable
by such Contributor that are necessarily infringed by their
Contribution(s) alone or by combination of their Contribution(s)
with the Work to which such Contribution(s) was submitted. If You
institute patent litigation against any entity (including a
cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that the Work
or a Contribution incorporated within the Work constitutes direct
or contributory patent infringement, then any patent licenses
granted to You under this License for that Work shall terminate
as of the date such litigation is filed.
4. Redistribution. You may reproduce and distribute copies of the
Work or Derivative Works thereof in any medium, with or without
modifications, and in Source or Object form, provided that You
meet the following conditions:
(a) You must give any other recipients of the Work or
Derivative Works a copy of this License; and
(b) You must cause any modified files to carry prominent notices
stating that You changed the files; and
(c) You must retain, in the Source form of any Derivative Works
that You distribute, all copyright, patent, trademark, and
attribution notices from the Source form of the Work,
excluding those notices that do not pertain to any part of
the Derivative Works; and
(d) If the Work includes a "NOTICE" text file as part of its
distribution, then any Derivative Works that You distribute must
include a readable copy of the attribution notices contained
within such NOTICE file, excluding those notices that do not
pertain to any part of the Derivative Works, in at least one
of the following places: within a NOTICE text file distributed
as part of the Derivative Works; within the Source form or
documentation, if provided along with the Derivative Works; or,
within a display generated by the Derivative Works, if and
wherever such third-party notices normally appear. The contents
of the NOTICE file are for informational purposes only and
do not modify the License. You may add Your own attribution
notices within Derivative Works that You distribute, alongside
or as an addendum to the NOTICE text from the Work, provided
that such additional attribution notices cannot be construed
as modifying the License.
You may add Your own copyright statement to Your modifications and
may provide additional or different license terms and conditions
for use, reproduction, or distribution of Your modifications, or
for any such Derivative Works as a whole, provided Your use,
reproduction, and distribution of the Work otherwise complies with
the conditions stated in this License.
5. Submission of Contributions. Unless You explicitly state otherwise,
any Contribution intentionally submitted for inclusion in the Work
by You to the Licensor shall be under the terms and conditions of
this License, without any additional terms or conditions.
Notwithstanding the above, nothing herein shall supersede or modify
the terms of any separate license agreement you may have executed
with Licensor regarding such Contributions.
6. Trademarks. This License does not grant permission to use the trade
names, trademarks, service marks, or product names of the Licensor,
except as required for reasonable and customary use in describing the
origin of the Work and reproducing the content of the NOTICE file.
7. Disclaimer of Warranty. Unless required by applicable law or
agreed to in writing, Licensor provides the Work (and each
Contributor provides its Contributions) on an "AS IS" BASIS,
WITHOUT WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, either express or
implied, including, without limitation, any warranties or conditions
of TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY, or FITNESS FOR A
PARTICULAR PURPOSE. You are solely responsible for determining the
appropriateness of using or redistributing the Work and assume any
risks associated with Your exercise of permissions under this License.
8. Limitation of Liability. In no event and under no legal theory,
whether in tort (including negligence), contract, or otherwise,
unless required by applicable law (such as deliberate and grossly
negligent acts) or agreed to in writing, shall any Contributor be
liable to You for damages, including any direct, indirect, special,
incidental, or consequential damages of any character arising as a
result of this License or out of the use or inability to use the
Work (including but not limited to damages for loss of goodwill,
work stoppage, computer failure or malfunction, or any and all
other commercial damages or losses), even if such Contributor
has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
9. Accepting Warranty or Additional Liability. While redistributing
the Work or Derivative Works thereof, You may choose to offer,
and charge a fee for, acceptance of support, warranty, indemnity,
or other liability obligations and/or rights consistent with this
License. However, in accepting such obligations, You may act only
on Your own behalf and on Your sole responsibility, not on behalf
of any other Contributor, and only if You agree to indemnify,
defend, and hold each Contributor harmless for any liability
incurred by, or claims asserted against, such Contributor by reason
of your accepting any such warranty or additional liability.

OpenBSD* Copyright Policy
________________________________________
- Goal
Copyright law is complex, OpenBSD* policy is simple - OpenBSD strives to maintain the spirit
of the original Berkeley Unix copyrights.
OpenBSD can exist as it does today because of the example set by the Computer Systems Research
Group at Berkeley and the battles which they and others fought to create a relatively
un-encumbered Unix source distribution.
The ability of a freely redistributable "Berkeley" Unix to move forward on a competitive
basis with other operating systems depends on the willingness of the various development
groups to exchange code amongst themselves and with other projects. Understanding the legal
issues surrounding copyright is fundamental to the ability to exchange and re-distribute code,
while honoring the spirit of the copyright and concept of attribution is fundamental to
promoting the cooperation of the people involved.
- The Berkeley* Copyright
The Berkeley* copyright poses no restrictions on private or commercial use of the software
and imposes only simple and uniform requirements for maintaining copyright notices in
redistributed versions and crediting the originator of the material only in advertising.

Berkeley rescinded the 3rd term (the advertising term) on 22 July 1999. Verbatim copies
of the Berkeley license in the OpenBSD tree have that term removed. In addition, many
3rd-party BSD-style licenses consist solely of the first two terms.
Because the OpenBSD copyright imposes no conditions beyond those imposed by the Berkeley
copyright, OpenBSD can hope to share the same wide distribution and applicability as the
Berkeley distributions. It follows however, that OpenBSD cannot include material which
includes copyrights which are more restrictive than the Berkeley copyright, or must
relegate this material to a secondary status, i.e. OpenBSD as a whole is freely
redistributable, but some optional components may not be.
- Copyright Law
While the overall subject of copyright law is far beyond the scope of this document, some
basics are in order. Under the current copyright law, copyrights are implicit in the
creation of a new work and reside with the creator, unless otherwise assigned. In general
the copyright applies only to the new work, not the material the work was derived from,
nor those portions of the derivative material included in the new work.
Copyright law admits to three general categories of works:
Original Work
A new work that is not derived from an existing work.
Derivative Work
Work that is derived from, includes or amends existing works.
Compilations
A work that is a compilation of existing new and derivative works.
The fundamental concept is that there is primacy of the copyright, that is a copyright of a
derivative work does not affect the rights held by the owner of the copyright of the original
work, rather only the part added. Likewise the copyright of a compilation does not affect the
rights of the owner of the included works, only the compilation as an entity.
It is vitally important to understand that copyrights are broad protections as defined by
national and international copyright law. The "copyright notices" usually included in source
files are not copyrights, but rather notices that a party asserts that they hold copyright
to the material or to part of the material. Typically these notices are associated with
license terms which grant permissions subject to copyright law and with disclaimers that
state the position of the copyright holder/distributor with respect to liability surrounding
use of the material.
- Permissions - the flip side
Because copyrights arise from the creation of a work, rather than through a registration process,
there needs to be a practical way to extend permission to use a work beyond what might be allowed
by "fair use" provisions of the copyright laws.
This permission typically takes the form of a "release" or "license" included in the work, which
grants the additional uses beyond those granted by copyright law, usually subject to a variety of
conditions. At one extreme sits "public domain" where the originator asserts that he imposes no
restrictions on use of the material, at the other restrictive clauses that actually grant no
additional rights or impose restrictive, discriminatory or impractical conditions on use of the
work.
Again, an important point to note is that the release and conditions can only apply to the
portion of the work that was originated by the copyright holder - the holder of a copyright
on a derivative work can neither grant additional permissions for use of the original work,
nor impose more restrictive conditions for use of that work.
Because copyright arises from the creation of a work and not the text or a registration process,
removing or altering a copyright notice or associated release terms has no bearing on the
existence of the copyright, rather all that is accomplished is to cast doubt upon whatever rights
the person making the modifications had to use the material in the first place. Likewise, adding
terms and conditions in conflict with the original terms and conditions does not supersede them,
rather it casts doubts on the rights of the person making the amendments to use the material and
creates confusion as to whether anyone can use the amended version or derivatives thereof.
Finally, releases are generally binding on the material that they are distributed with. This means
that if the originator of a work distributes that work with a release granting certain permissions,
those permissions apply as stated, without discrimination, to all persons legitimately possessing
a copy of the work. That means that having granted a permission, the copyright holder can not
retroactively say that an individual or class of individuals are no longer granted those permissions.
Likewise should the copyright holder decide to "go commercial" he can not revoke permissions already
granted for the use of the work as distributed, though he may impose more restrictive permissions in
his future distributions of that work.
- Specific Cases
This section attempts to summarize the position of OpenBSD relative to some commonly encountered
copyrights.
Berkeley*
The Berkeley copyright is the model for the OpenBSD copyright. It retains the rights of the
copyright holder, while imposing minimal conditions on the use of the copyrighted material.
Material with Berkeley copyrights, or copyrights closely adhering to the Berkeley model can
generally be included in OpenBSD.
AT&T*
As part of its settlement with AT&T*, Berkeley included an AT&T copyright notice on some of the
files in 4.4BSD lite and lite2. The terms of this license are identical to the standard Berkeley
license.
Additionally, OpenBSD includes some other AT&T code with non-restrictive copyrights, such as the
reference implementation of awk.
Caldera*
Caldera* (now known as the SCO group) is the current owner of the Unix code copyrights. On 23
January 2002, the original Unix code (versions 1 through seven, including 32V) was freed by Caldera.
This code is now available under a 4-term BSD-style license. As a result, it is now possible to
incorporate real Unix code into OpenBSD (though this code is quite old and generally requires significant
changes to bring it up to date).
DEC*, Sun*, other manufacturers/software houses.
In general OpenBSD does not include material copyrighted by manufacturers or software houses.
Material may be included where the copyright owner has granted general permission for reuse
without conditions, with terms similar to the Berkeley copyright, or where the material is the
product of an employee and the employer's copyright notice effectively releases any rights they
might have to the work.
Carnegie-Mellon* (CMU, Mach)
The Carnegie-Mellon copyright is similar to the Berkeley copyright, except that it requests that
derivative works be made available to Carnegie-Mellon. Because this is only a request and not a
condition, such material can still be included in OpenBSD. It should be noted that existing
versions of Mach are still subject to AT&T copyrights, which prevents the general distribution
of Mach sources.
Apache*
The original Apache* copyright is similar to the Berkeley copyright, except that it stipulates
that products derived from the code may not have "Apache" in their name. The purpose of this
clause is to avoid a situation in which another party releases a modified version of the code
named in such a way to make users think that it is the "official" version. This is not an issue
with OpenBSD because OpenBSD is a Compilation, and not a Derived Work. Source code published under
version 2 of the Apache license cannot be included into OpenBSD. As a consequence, OpenBSD now
maintains its own version of Apache based on version 1.3.29. The OpenBSD version includes many
enhancements and bugfixes.
ISC*
The ISC* copyright is functionally equivalent to a two-term BSD copyright with language removed
that is made unnecessary by the Berne convention. This is the preferred license for new code
incorporated into OpenBSD. A sample license is included in the source tree as
/usr/src/share/misc/license.template.
GNU* General Public License, GPL, LGPL, copyleft, etc.
The GNU* Public License and licenses modeled on it impose the restriction that source code must
be distributed or made available for all works that are derivatives of the GNU copyrighted code.
While this may be a noble strategy in terms of software sharing, it is a condition that is
typically unacceptable for commercial use of software. As a consequence, software bound by the
GPL terms can not be included in the kernel or "runtime" of OpenBSD, though software subject to
GPL terms may be included as development tools or as part of the system that are "optional" as
long as such use does not result in OpenBSD as a whole becoming subject to the GPL terms.
As an example, GCC and other GNU tools are included in the OpenBSD tool chain. However, it is
quite possible to distribute a system for many applications without a tool chain, or the
distributor can choose to include a tool chain as an optional bundle which conforms to the
GPL terms.
NetBSD*
Much of OpenBSD is originally based on and evolved from NetBSD*, since some of the OpenBSD
developers were involved in the NetBSD project. The general NetBSD license terms are compatible
with the Berkeley license and permit such use. Material subject only to the general NetBSD license
can generally be included in OpenBSD.
In the past, NetBSD has included material copyrighted by individuals who have imposed license
conditions beyond that of the general NetBSD license, but granted the NetBSD Foundation license
to distribute the material. Such material can not be included in OpenBSD as long as the conditions
imposed are at odds with the OpenBSD license terms or releases from those terms are offered on a
discriminatory basis.
FreeBSD*
Most of FreeBSD* is also based on Berkeley licensed material or includes copyright notices based
on the Berkeley model. Such material can be included in OpenBSD, while those parts that are subject
to GPL or various individual copyright terms that are at odds with the OpenBSD license can not be
included in OpenBSD.
Linux*
Most of Linux* is subject to GPL style licensing terms and therefore can not be included in
OpenBSD. Individual components may be eligible, subject to the terms of the originator's copyright
notices. Note that Linux "distributions" may also be subject to additional copyright claims of the
distributing organization, either as a compilation or on material included that is not part of the
Linux core.
X*, XFree86*, X.Org*
X*, X.Org* or XFree86* are not parts of OpenBSD, rather X.Org and parts of XFree86 3.3.6 are
distributed with many OpenBSD ports as a convenience to the user, subject to applicable license
terms.
Shareware, Charityware, Freeware, etc.
Most "shareware" copyright notices impose conditions for redistribution, use or visibility that
are at conflict with the OpenBSD project goals. Review on a case-by-case basis is required as to
whether the wording of the conditions is acceptable in terms of conditions being requested vs.
demanded and whether the spirit of the conditions is compatible with goals of the OpenBSD project.
Public Domain
While material that is truly entered into the "Public Domain" can be included in OpenBSD, review
is required on a case by case basis. Frequently the "public domain" assertion is made by someone
who does not really hold all rights under Copyright law to grant that status or there are a variety
of conditions imposed on use. For a work to be truly in the "Public Domain" all rights are abandoned
and the material is offered without restrictions.
