$OpenBSD: README,v 1.2 2016/09/03 22:32:04 benno Exp $

This directory contains software that is Gigantic and Nasty but
|
|
Unavoidable.
|
|
|
|
Some, but not all, of the software in this subtree follows special
|
|
rules, i.e. licences other than BSD.
|
|
|
|
So:
|
|
- check the history of external code before importing it.
|
|
- for GPL software 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.
|
|
|
|
Some internal changes are acceptable, but OpenBSD can't afford to maintain
|
|
a complete separate toolchain on its own.
