Some of the software in this subtree follows special rules. ! Specifically, the FSF not only wants the GPL licence, but they ! also insist that you assign your copyright to the FSF for anything ! but trivial changes. So: - check the history of external code before importing it. ! - be ready to arrange for copyright papers somewhat in advance if ! you want to work on it (the FSF takes a few months to process these). Otherwise, changes might not make it to the main distribution, and may need some further maintenance over time, or risk getting lost. --- 1,16 ---- ! $OpenBSD: README,v 1.2 2016/09/03 22:32:04 benno Exp $ !
