License Info
=========================
The Akaros repository contains a mix of code from different projects across a
few top-level directories.  The kernel is in `kern/`, userspace libraries are
in `user/`, and a variety of tools can be found in `tools/`, including the
toolchain.

The Akaros kernel is licensed under the GNU General Public License, version 2.
Our kernel is made up of code from a number of other systems.  Anything written
for the Akaros kernel is licensed "GPLv2 or later".  However, other code, such
as from Linux and Plan 9, are licensed GPLv2, without the "or later" clause.
There is also code from BSD, Xen, JOS, and Plan 9 derivatives.  As a whole, the
kernel is licensed GPLv2.

Note that the Plan 9 code that is a part of Akaros is also licensed under the
Lucent Public License.  The University of California, Berkeley, has been
authorised by Alcatel-Lucent to release all Plan 9 software previously governed
by the Lucent Public License, Version 1.02 under the GNU General Public
License, Version 2.  Akaros derives its Plan 9 code from this UCB release.  For
more information, see LICENSE-PLAN9.

Our user code is likewise from a mix of sources.  All code written for Akaros,
such as `user/parlib/`, is licensed under the GNU LGPLv2.1 or later.  Plan 9
libraries, including `user/iplib` and `user/ndblib` are licensed under the
LGPLv2.1, but without the "or later".  See each library for details.

Likewise, `tools/` is a collection of various code.  All of our contributions
to existing code bases, such as GCC, glibc, and busybox, are licensed under
their respective projects' licenses.


The old JOS code came with the following:
