The Minix-vmd distribution falls under several different copyrights.
Read the following points carefully, because you have agree with the
terms of all licenses if you want to use Minix-vmd or parts thereof.


1.  The Minix kernel.
    Many files in the directories /usr/include, /usr/src/sys, and
    /usr/src/cmd, and a few files in /usr/src/lib are derived from Minix
    1.6.16 written by Andrew S. Tanenbaum.  These files are copyrighted
    by Prentice-Hall, Inc.  See 7. for the Minix license to use.  It is
    basically a "free for educational use" type of license.  Read it to
    find out if you can agree with it, otherwise do not use Minix.
    Changes to the files in the above mentioned directories and new
    files added by Philip Homburg and Kees Bot are copyrighted by them
    (see 6.).

2.  The ACK C compiler.
    The C compiler binaries in /usr/lib/ack, and the runtime support
    library sources in /usr/src/lib/ack are derived from the Amsterdam
    Compiler Kit.  The compiler may only be used under Minix variants.
    Example of an ACK copyright notice:

	(c) copyright 1988 by the Vrije Universiteit, Amsterdam, The
	Netherlands.

3.  BSD sources.
    Files derived from the Berkeley Software Distribution can be found
    mostly in the /usr/src/bsd directory.  These files can be recognized
    by copyright notices like this one:

    	Copyright (c) 1991 The Regents of the University of California.


4.  X11 sources.
    Files for the X window system can be found in the optional packages
    labeled "XF86-N.M".  The files are copyrighted by the X Consortium
    and the XFree86 Project.  These copyrights are roughly the same as
    the BSD copyright.  The files can be recognized by copyright notices
    like these:

	Copyright (c) 1989  X Consortium
	Copyright (c) 1994 by The XFree86 Project, Inc.


5.  GNU sources.
    Files obtained from the Free Software Foundation or other software that
    is protected by the GNU General Public License can be found in
    /usr/src/gnu.  Special care has been taken to keep other software from
    being infested by the GPL.  Any GPL protected files found outside the
    main gnu source directory are directly used by a GNU tool and only by
    this tool.  The libraries used by the gcc compiler do not contain any
    GNU code whatsoever, except for the runtime support necessary for the
    code produced by the compiler.  This support code is protected by the
    special GNU library copyright that does not carry over to the binaries
    it is compiled into.  The copyright message can usually be found in the
    files COPYING or LICENSE accompanying a package.


6.  Software collected, written by, or modified by Philip Homburg or
    Kees Bot.
    In /usr/src/vmd one can find software that can not be placed in one of
    the categories above.  This software is protected by copyrights held
    by the original authors granting permission to distribute and use
    these sources freely.  Note that even if no clear copyright message
    is present these files are still copyrighted according to the Berne
    Convention.  The distribution named "Minix-vmd", and the software
    written or modified by Philip Homburg or Kees Bot falls under this
