Hi, You will find a brief reference to the different licensing models at http://www.freebsd.org/doc/faq/introduction.html#FREEBSD-GOALS and the surrounding text. If you are evaluating a donation to FreeBSD, you may want to consider the hardware list on http://www.freebsd.org/donations/wantlist.html for examples of useful non-financial support. Financial donations are handled by the FreeBSD Foundation at http://www.freebsdfoundation.org Rob. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Victoria Mah" <vmah@cisco.com> Subject: information > Hello, > I am an attorney at Cisco Systems, Inc. and have been asked to evaluate, > from a legal perspective, obligations concerning usage of your code and > whether making a donation would be appropriate.
