Copyright and licensing information: This is the SARPi COPYRIGHT file. This file provides documentation about many of the licenses used by components included in the software, as well as some acknowledgements (some required, some freely given). This file may not be a complete list of copyright holders and contributors which are included in the distributed SARPi software. However, all licenses and copyright notices, as required, are included within the software. ---------------- * Slackware 'Slackware' is a registered trademark of Patrick Volkerding. Slackware includes licenses and copyrights from its many contributors, which is included in the file COPYRIGHT.TXT found within the official Slackware media source tree. http://www.slackware.com/trademark/trademark.php Many other software packages included in Slackware are licensed under the GNU General Public License v2, which is included in the file COPYING found within the official Slackware media source tree. Some software packages included in Slackware are licensed under the GNU General Public License v3, which is included in the file COPYING3 found within the official Slackware media source tree. ---------------- * Linux 'Linux' is a Registered Trademark of Linus Torvalds. The Linux kernel software [source and package] which SARPi distributes is covered by the GNU General Public License v2, details of which can be found in the /boot/COPYING.linux file. https://www.linuxfoundation.org/the-linux-mark The Linux(R) kernel is licensed under the GPL version 2, which can be found in the file COPYING. Linus Torvalds offers his interpretation of how the GPL applies to the kernel at the top of the COPYING file found in the Linux kernel source(s): "NOTE! This copyright does *not* cover user programs that use kernel services by normal system calls - this is merely considered normal use of the kernel, and does *not* fall under the heading of "derived work". Also note that the GPL below is copyrighted by the Free Software Foundation, but the instance of code that it refers to (the Linux kernel) is copyrighted by me and others who actually wrote it. Also note that the only valid version of the GPL as far as the kernel is concerned is _this_ particular version of the license (ie v2, not v2.2 or v3.x or whatever), unless explicitly otherwise stated. Linus Torvalds" Linux is a Registered Trademark of Linus Torvalds.

Please view the contents of the following files for further details: * /boot * start*.elf, fixup*.dat and bootcode.bin are the GPU firmwares and bootloader. Their licence is described in `boot/LICENCE.broadcom`. * The kernel.img files are builds of the Linux kernel, released under the GPL (see `boot/COPYING.linux`) * The dtbs, overlays and associated README are built from Linux kernel sources, released under the GPL (see `boot/COPYING.linux`) * /lib/firmware BCM* STLC2500* * /lib/firmware/brcm bcm43* BCM434* brcmfmac* Documentation: * /usr/share/doc/bluez-firmware BCM-LEGAL.txt * /usr/share/doc/firmware-brcm80211/copyright * /usr/share/doc/bluez-firmware/copyright ---------------- * raspi-slackbuild In 2012, SARPi software was initially built from modified scripts that were downloaded from https://github.com/idlemoor/raspi-slackbuild which are Copyright (c) 2012 David Spencer, Baildon, West Yorkshire, U.K. The SARPi build process has been completely re-written since then, but the methods and infrastructure are still loosely based around the original 'raspi-slackbuild' work. ---------------- DISCLAIMER NOTICE: THIS SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED BY THE AUTHOR AND CONTRIBUTORS "AS IS" AND ANY EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE ARE DISCLAIMED.
