SchOS/NOTICE
Nexoniarz b08432b2c3 userland: 268 applets, an editor, names that resolve, and a web server 
Four complaints, and only one of them was the thing it looked like.

**"toybox is too small."** Half true, and the fix cost no licensing at all:
236 of toybox's applets are what defconfig builds, and the rest live in
toys/pending/ -- awk, bc, diff, more, expr, tr, hexdump, stty among them. Same
0BSD tarball, switched off by a config default. 26 of them are on now, 236 ->
268. Not everything: strace wants ptrace, syslogd wants BSD's facilitynames[],
git wants OpenSSL, and those three break the link.

The toybox build also works again on this machine. Its scripts start
#!/bin/bash, which does not exist on NixOS, so the binary in the tree was one
nobody could reproduce; the shebangs are rewritten to /usr/bin/env bash on the
way in. Pending applets are enabled by editing .config directly, because
`make oldconfig` is the obvious way and undoes it -- every pending symbol is
`default n`.

**BusyBox was asked for and is not here.** It is GPL-2.0-only, and `make
ramroot` links the root image *into the kernel binary*, so it would put GPLv2
inside an Apache-2.0 executable -- which is the exact case ports/Makefile's
NOTPORTS filter and docs/licensing.md §4 exist for. nano is the same answer one
version later. Both recorded in licensing.md with what was done instead, since
"no" without an alternative is how a rule gets quietly broken later.

**An editor that is not vi.** kilo, BSD-2-Clause, one 1300-line file, no
dependencies beyond termios and TIOCGWINSZ, both of which zsh already needed.
Installed as /bin/edit as well as /bin/kilo, because somebody with a file to
fix will type `edit`.

**"wget doesn't work."** Not a userland problem, and BusyBox's wget would have
failed identically: nothing on this system could turn a name into an address,
so every program taking a hostname failed in its own way and each looked like
a separate bug. There is still no DNS client in SchOS and there does not need
to be -- musl has a complete resolver and it works over ordinary UDP sockets.
The one missing fact was which nameserver, which the kernel has had all along
from DHCP and never published. /proc/resolv.conf publishes it in resolv.conf's
exact syntax; cmd/resolvconf decides whether it becomes /etc/resolv.conf, and
will not overwrite a hand-written one without -f.

  # wget -O - http://example.com/ | head -1
  <!doctype html><html lang="en"><head><title>Example Domain</title>

**Something to host with.** cmd/httpd: GET and HEAD, static files, index.html
for a directory and a listing otherwise, a child per connection. No CGI, no
keep-alive, no TLS, no config file. The path check is the only
security-relevant code in it and it refuses rather than normalises -- no
component may be `..`, and percent-decoding happens first, because %2e%2e is
`..` and a check before decoding does not see it. Both forms answer 403.

And the disk is 100 MB, from 32. It is sparse, so the image is 21 MB on the
host. RAMDISK_BLOCKS went 6000 -> 8000 with it: the ramdisk was at 86% and the
next thing added would have broken `make ramroot`, which nobody would have
noticed until they used it.

The SchIFT kernel is a derivative work of xv6. Substantial portions of
kernel/ -- notably the process, trap, virtual memory, buffer cache and v1
filesystem code -- descend from it, however heavily rewritten. The MIT licence
requires that this notice be preserved in all copies; see LICENSE.MIT.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
musl libc 1.2.5 MIT License
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Copyright (c) 2005-2020 Rich Felker and contributors
Built from ports/musl. Provides the C library every userland program links
against. See the extracted source's COPYRIGHT file for the full contributor
list, which the MIT terms require be carried along with binaries.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
toybox 0.8.12 Zero-Clause BSD (0BSD)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Copyright (c) 2006-2024 Rob Landley and contributors
Built from ports/toybox. Supplies the standard command set in /bin -- 268
applets, which is defconfig's 236 plus a curated set from toys/pending/ (awk,
bc, diff and the rest); see ports/toybox/Makefile. 0BSD imposes no attribution
requirement at all; this entry is courtesy, not obligation.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
kilo (commit 323d93b) BSD 2-Clause
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Copyright (c) 2016 Salvatore Sanfilippo <antirez@gmail.com>
Built from ports/kilo. Supplies /bin/kilo and /bin/edit, the text editor. The
BSD 2-Clause terms require the copyright notice and disclaimer be retained in
binary distributions; the full text is installed at
/usr/share/licenses/kilo/LICENSE in every image.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
mksh R59c MirOS Licence
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Copyright (c) 2002-2023 Thorsten Glaser and contributors
Portions derived from the Public Domain Korn Shell (pdksh)
Built from ports/mksh. Supplies /bin/sh. The MirOS Licence is permissive and
requires the copyright notice be retained.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
zsh 5.9 MIT-like
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Copyright (c) 1992-2017 Paul Falstad, Richard Coleman, Zoltan Hidvegi,
Andrew Main, Peter Stephenson, Sven Wischnowsky, and others
Built from ports/zsh. Installed as /bin/zsh and used as the interactive shell;
/bin/sh remains mksh.
zsh's LICENCE notes that a few shell functions are licensed under the GNU
General Public Licence and states that, since no core function is affected,
those files may simply be omitted. They are. ports/zsh/Makefile removes four
files after extraction -- completions for darcs, qdbus, osc and zypper -- and
refuses to install if any of them is still present. No GPL-licensed file is
shipped in a SchOS image.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ncurses 6.4 MIT License
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Copyright 2018-2022 Thomas E. Dickey
Copyright 1998-2018 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
Built from ports/ncurses. Linked into zsh so that its line editor can drive a
terminal, and into sysroot/bin/tinfotest. Built with --disable-database and
compiled-in fallbacks, so no terminfo files are installed.

Fetched by ports/lwip and compiled into the kernel -- it is the TCP/IP stack,
not a userland library, so it is present in every built kernel image rather
than in a binary under /bin. The port layer written for SchOS
(kernel/net/lwip/) is Apache-2.0 and is not part of lwIP; lwIP's own sources
are unmodified. Clause 3 is a no-endorsement term, not the four-clause
advertising requirement, so it combines with Apache-2.0 without difficulty.

Intel 8254x device identifiers BSD 3-Clause
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Copyright (c) 2001-2020, Intel Corporation
All rights reserved.
The PCI device IDs in include/e1000.h are transcribed from FreeBSD's
sys/dev/e1000/e1000_hw.h, which carries the Intel 3-clause BSD licence above
(verified: no advertising clause). Only the identifier constants are used --
data, not implementation. kernel/drivers/net/e1000/e1000.c is written from
Intel's public manual 317453 and contains no FreeBSD or Intel driver code.
Redistribution and use in source and binary forms, with or without

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.
fastfetch MIT
https://github.com/fastfetch-cli/fastfetch
Copyright (c) 2022 Linus Dierheimer and contributors
Built from source by ports/fastfetch and installed as /bin/fastfetch.
Unpatched: see the note at the top of that Makefile about why what it
cannot detect becomes work in the kernel rather than a patch here.
