All rights reserved.
Provided that these terms and disclaimer and all copyright notices are
retained or reproduced in an accompanying document, permission is granted
to deal in this work without restriction, including unlimited rights to
use, publicly perform, distribute, sell, modify, merge, give away, or
sublicence.
Where legally impermissible the licensor does not disclaim liability for
direct physical injury or death caused solely by defects in the work un-
less it is modified by a third party.
This work is provided "AS IS" and WITHOUT WARRANTY of any kind, to the
utmost extent permitted by applicable law, neither express nor implied;
without malicious intent or gross negligence. In no event may a licensor,
author or contributor be held liable for indirect, direct, other damage,
loss, or other issues arising in any way out of dealing in the work, even
if advised of the possibility of such damage or existence of a defect,
except proven that it results out of said person's immediate fault when
using the work as intended.
This licence agreement shall be governed in all aspects by the law of
Germany; designated place of court is Bonn, NRW, Germany.
(Gerichtsstand ist Bonn, NRW/Deutschland. Es gilt deutsches Recht.)
I as the MirOS Project leader and MirBSD's owner hereby assert a
collective-work copyright on "MirBSD", which is the contents of my
/usr/src and /usr/ports, which includes the OpenBSD-derived kernel, user-
land, and the MirPorts Framework, as well as the subprojects (such as
MirMake and jupp), but excluding individual ports, Unifont in contrib,
contrib/hosted, and material marked as "Public Domain" which does not
come under a proper copyright licence otherwise.
MIDNIGHTBSD
Some code has been derived from the compilation of software known as Mid-
nightBSD (which is derived from the compilation of software known as
FreeBSD); in particular, code which would otherwise be only accessible to
USA citizens as Public Domain was relicenced that way. For these, the
following terms apply:
