1.2     ! benno       3: This directory contains software that is Gigantic and Nasty but
        !             4: Unavoidable.
1.1       espie       5:
1.2     ! benno       6: Some, but not all, of the software in this subtree follows special
        !             7: rules, i.e.  licences other than BSD.

                      9: So:
                     10: - check the history of external code before importing it.
1.2     ! benno      11: - for GPL software be ready to arrange for copyright papers somewhat
        !            12: in advance if you want to work on it (the FSF takes a few months to
        !            13: process these).
1.1       espie      14:
                     15: Otherwise, changes might not make it to the main distribution, and may
                     16: need some further maintenance over time, or risk getting lost.
                     17:
                     18: Some internal changes are acceptable, but OpenBSD can't afford to maintain
                     19: a complete separate toolchain on its own.
