! This project was started in one of those days when the only open source operating systems for HP PA-RISC computers were Lites and MkLinux. These two sources were a major supply of information and code for initial development of the OpenBSD/hppa port. ! The HPBSD is encumbered by HP proprietary code and USL licensing and is not publicly available. One of the major direct benefits from previous porting efforts (besides the code, of course ;) is support for HP PA-RISC in GCC and binutils, which allowed quick ! build of cross-tools environment for development.
Later on HP decided to sponsor a Linux port to PA-RISC machines which actually resulted in some proprietary documentation ! release, even they target different class of 9000 machines.
