1 A considerable portion of the initial check-in of ArcanOS is based directly
2 off the operating systems coursework labs of Dr. Lorenzo Alvisi
3 (http://userweb.cs.utexas.edu/~lorenzo/), and I owe him a debt of gratitude for
4 producing and distributing material to help bridge the gap between a simple
5 "Hello World" bootloader and a functioning kernel. I believe Dr. Alvisi has
6 released his code under an MIT license, which is GPL compatible.
8 Some materials from the initial drop contain header files documented as under
9 a BSD license which may not be fully GPL-compatible. Since the conflicting
10 clause under this license is related to advertising of products, I believe
11 that a hobby project such as ArcanOS will not produce any conflict. I am
12 endeavoring to locate more GPL-compatible source for these files.
