However, all contributed +software must contain the following items: + +1. The author's name, date, and copyright (if any). If a + modification of a public-domain work, modification + attribution and original author. + +2. A brief description of the software module or item. + +3. The following statement: "This software contains, to + the best of my knowledge, no proprietary, trade secret, + or otherwise encumbered code. I am making this + software available for incorporation into 386BSD, + understanding that 386BSD is a freely redistributable + and modifiable system." + + In addition, the software should be in the following +format: + +1. Release number upon which generated (0.0, 0.1, etc). + +2. Source code. Generated binary. + +3. List of known bugs. + + 386BSD is a freely available work. All developers sub- +mitting software for official 386BSD releases should be +aware of this fact. Given the extremely wide distribution of +this software, we cannot regulate or enforce specific usage, +license, or proprietary restrictions, nor can we collect any +monies or fees for use. Those developers who wish to +encumber their software in this manner should find other +mechanisms for distribution. + + We will not review or accept any code which is marked +"proprietary" or "trade secret". + + We suggest that copyrights (or copylefts) not be made +too "encumbering" in order to encourage usage, enhancements, +and modifications of the submitted software. (For a sug- +gested copyright format, we suggest the University of Cali- +fornia copyright format.) + + Due to constraints on distribution size, research +directions, and number of submissions, we cannot guarantee +that any particular piece of software will be incorporated +into the next release. However, we always encourage people + + +386BSD SOFTWARE.FORM 1 July 1992 + + + + + + + + + + +to make their software available to other 386BSD Users via +the network and user groups. That way, a large number of +people can immediately benefit from your software and pro- +vide critical feedback for enhancements and refinements. + + Please complete this software contribution form and +return it along with your software contribution to: + + Lynne Greer Jolitz + 386BSD User Registration + 447 61ST Street + Oakland, CA. 94609 USA + + +1-510-420-0174 FAX + ljolitz@cardio.ucsf.edu + CIS 76703,4266 + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +386BSD SOFTWARE.FORM 2 July 1992 + + +
