SchOS/NOTICE
Nexoniarz e04ca28812 Rename Schunix to SchOS; the kernel becomes SchIFT
Removes the "-unix" element and with it any trademark exposure to The
Open Group.

The split follows the ecosystem layout: SchOS is the system, and the
kernel has its own name. Kernel-identity strings are the only places
that take SchIFT -- uname(2) sysname, /proc/version, and the two licence
sentences that say "kernel" outright. That is what every Unix does here:
`uname -s` on Linux reports the kernel, not the distribution. Everything
a user reads as the product -- panic screen, boot menu, error prefixes,
docs, LICENSE, NOTICE -- is SchOS.

schunix.img is schos.img, the logo assets and the musl TLS patch are
renamed, and __SCHUNIX__ is __SCHOS__ (the define and the patch that
consumes it moved together).

Two things the rename broke, both found by the bootcheck suite:

  - shmtest wrote "SCHUNIX-MMAP-OK" with a hardcoded length of 15 and
    compared it back by hand-counted offsets (m[3]=='U', m[14]=='K').
    The shorter marker left the write running two bytes past the literal
    and the compare reading past the data, failing a file-backed mmap
    that was working correctly. Now written and compared through one
    constant with sizeof.
  - bootcheck asserted a 31-byte file after appending to
    "hello-from-schunix"; the shorter string makes it 29.

Both are the same mistake: a string literal whose length is written out
somewhere else. Full suite green -- base, Tty, Ps, Sock, Fb, Usb, Evdev.

usb.ids -- USB vendor and product database BSD 3-Clause (dual-licensed)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Maintained by Stephen J. Gowdy <linux.usb.ids@gmail.com>
http://www.linux-usb.org/usb.ids
Distributed by its maintainer under the terms of *either* the GNU General
Public License version 2 or later, *or* the 3-clause BSD Licence. SchOS takes
the BSD option; the GPL option is not exercised and could not be, since
Apache-2.0 and GPL-2.0-only cannot be combined (see docs/licensing.md section
2).
Shipped verbatim as /usr/share/usb.ids. Cached in dist/ and refreshed with
`make usb-ids`, never automatically -- the version and date are in the file's
own header, so what shipped is always knowable.

Roboto Apache-2.0
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Copyright the Roboto Project Authors (https://github.com/googlefonts/roboto)
Shipped as /usr/share/fonts/Roboto-Regular.ttf, from ports/Roboto. Licensed
under Apache-2.0 -- the same licence as SchOS itself, so it carries no
obligation beyond this notice. Intended for the desktop, window manager and
compositor.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
JetBrains Mono SIL OFL 1.1
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Copyright 2020 The JetBrains Mono Project Authors
(https://github.com/JetBrains/JetBrainsMono)
Shipped as /usr/share/fonts/JetBrainsMono-Regular.ttf, from ports/JetBrains_Mono
(full licence text at ports/JetBrains_Mono/OFL.txt). Intended for the terminal
and TTY.
Under the SIL Open Font License 1.1 the font remains under OFL even inside this
Apache-2.0 system -- that does not reach any other part of SchOS -- and it may
not be sold on its own. Bundling it with an operating system is expressly
permitted. JetBrains Mono declares no Reserved Font Name, so a modified version
(a pre-rasterised bitmap, for instance) may keep the name.

"New File System For XV6" MIT License
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Copyright (c) Qi Ma, Leyi Pan, Ao Sun, Peiran Xu
kernel/fs/fs.c and parts of tools/mkfs.c derive from this project, which extends
xv6's file system with features SchOS still uses today:
- the HTree hashed directory index (BKDRHash, HASHRANGE, the primary/overflow
bucket layout), after Daniel Phillips, "A Directory Index for EXT2",
5th Annual Linux Showcase & Conference, 2001
- Ext4-style extents (T_EXTENT)
- the inode bitmap
- symbolic links, file permissions, lseek and append
Licensed under the MIT License, which permits this use and requires that the
copyright notice and permission notice be retained. This entry is that
retention; it was missing until 2026-08-09 and is recorded here regardless of
what happens to the code, because the obligation attaches to every copy already
made.
Distinct from xv6 itself (LICENSE.MIT), which this project in turn derives from.
================================================================================
The build downloads upstream tarballs into dist/ and applies the patches in
ports/<name>/patches/. Nothing in ports/ is SchOS code; do not add first-party
work there. See docs/layout.md.
Licence questions -- what may be copied in, what may never be, and how to check
a NetBSD file's clause before using it -- are worked through in
docs/licensing.md.
