This work is based in part on code from NetBSD libm, libc and kernel. The library is partly public domain and partly BSD-style licensed.

Legal Information

|
=================
|
|
|
|
The Sortix Math Library (libm) is based on the NetBSD Math Library, with pieces
|
|
taken from the NetBSD C library and kernel. The upstream sources were adapted
|
|
for inclusion into the Sortix operating system. The library itself is licensed
|
|
under various BSD-style licenses with some parts in the public domain. Almost
|
|
all files have proper copyright notices that describe their license and who the
|
|
copyright belongs to. The few files that do not contain such explicit notices
|
|
are likely NetBSD-licensed as the files originate come from that project.
|
|
|
|
This library is licensed under the following licenses.
|
|
|
|
Public Domain
|
|
-------------
|
|
|
|
The public domain files usually contains statements such as:
|
|
|
|
/*
|
|
* Written by J.T. Conklin <jtc@NetBSD.org>.
|
|
* Public domain.
|
|
*/
|
|
|
|
This may be slightly problematic as the concept of public domain doesn't exist
|
|
in all jurisdictions.

|
Winning Strategies
|
|
------------------
|
|
|
|
A few files currently still contain advertisement clauses. In particular, these
|
|
files require attribution of Winning Strategies:
|
|
|
|
* arch/i387/e_exp.S
|
|
* arch/x86_64/e_exp.S
|
|
|
|
However, the author of those files have released a lot of similar files into the
|
|
public domain that once had this license. It's likely that these files were
|
|
overlooked when the license was changed and their license was changed as well.
|
|
|
|
University of California License
|
|
--------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Some of the files originate back from the Berkeley Software Distribution (BSD).
|
|
These originally contained the advertisement clause, which was deleted entirely
|
|
in 1999 by the university. The license for these files today is something like:
|
|
|
|

Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory
|
|
----------------------------
|
|
|
|
A few files contain the above University of California License as well as this
|
|
additional statement
|
|
|
|
* This software was developed by the Computer Systems Engineering group
|
|
* at Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory under DARPA contract BG 91-66 and
|
|
* contributed to Berkeley.
|
|
|
|
Historically, the files that contained this statement also had another
|
|
advertisement statement, but these were deleted in the NetBSD sources.
|
|
|
|
SunPro License
|
|
--------------
|
|
|
|
A lot of files were developed by SunPro and bear this permissive license:
|
|
|
|
/*

CMU License
|
|
-----------
|
|
|
|
The file src/modf_ieee754.c has the following license:
|
|
|
|
/*

|
*/
|
|
|
|
The wording of the last clause is a bit worrying, as I am not sure whether it is
|
|
a requirement or whether granting such rights is optional. Perhaps this file
|
|
should be replaced.
|
|
|
|
NetBSD License
|
|
--------------
|
|
|
|
A lot of the files originate from the NetBSD project and bear its standard
|
|
license (Simplified BSD License). These files contain statements much like this:
|
|
|
|
/*-
|
|

|
|
* All rights reserved.
|
|

|
|
*/
|
|
|
|
A few files that was copied from upstream NetBSD bear no license but contain
|
|
the usual $NetBSD revision control tag - those can probably be assumed to be
|
|
under this license.
|
|
|
|
Other BSD-Licenses
|
|
------------------
|
|
|
|
A few files are BSD-style licensed, but don't originate with NetBSD. The license
|
|
is identical to the NetBSD license in almost every case. These files are
|
|
copyrighted by:
|
|
|

* David Schultz
|

* Steven G. Kargl
|

* Matthias Drochner

Sortix Math Library License
|
|
---------------------------
|
|
|
|
The library was modified to adapt it to the Sortix operating system. These
|
|
changes were intended to be licensed like the rest of the library, and so the
|
|
license is identical to the NetBSD license:
|
