386BSD Release 1.0
Software Support and Submissions Guidelines
_3_8_6_B_S_D _S_y_s_t_e_m _S_o_f_t_w_a_r_e _S_u_p_p_o_r_t
386BSD is an experimental research system intended for
exploration and study. The inclusion of source code allows
the creative and industrious student of operating systems to
modify, correct, augment and otherwise alter the system in
any manner desired, and thus is made available for
informational purposes only. Due to the unique nature of
386BSD releases, we cannot provide "on-demand" support. If
you have critical support needs, we suggest the purchase of
a commercial binary systems product from a major systems
vendor, such as Microsoft or Sun Microsystems.
We do encourage feedback, however, on bug fixes,
problems and solutions which arise during configuration, and
improvements to 386BSD. These changes may be incorporated
back into the system, and made available once again to the
386BSD audience, to further encourage use of this system.
Please use this SOFTSUB.TXT form for submissions of problems
isolated, bug fixes, or new work. We do not accept
proprietary or licensed code submissions for review.
If you are a qualified research or educational group
using 386BSD in a research or educational project, we may be
able to provide limited technical assistance. Please
contact [email protected] to describe the nature of
your project and needs. Due to the volume of email,
inquiries not related to research and educational projects
may not receive a response from this email address. Please
use the designated bsdserver email address for email on
problems isolated, bug fixes, and software submissions for
386BSD.

We are always pleased to look at enhancements,
additions or ports of public domain software for possible
incorporation into 386BSD releases. However, all software
submissions must contain the following items:
1. The author's name, date, and copyright (if any). If a
modification of a public-domain work, modification
attribution and original author.
2. A brief description of the software module or item.
3. The following statement: "This software contains, to
the best of my knowledge, no proprietary, trade secret,
or otherwise encumbered code. I am making this
338866BBSSDD SSOOFFTTSSUUBB 11 AAuugguusstt 11999944
software available for incorporation into 386BSD,
understanding that 386BSD is a freely redistributable
and modifiable system."
In addition, the software should be in the following
format:
1. 386BSD Release number upon which code has been
generated (e.g. 1.0)
2. Source code and generated executable binary for
testing.
3. List of known bugs.
386BSD is a freely available work. All developers
submitting software for official 386BSD releases should be
aware of this fact. Given the extremely wide distribution of
this release, we cannot regulate or enforce specific usage,
license, or proprietary restrictions, nor can we collect any
monies or fees for use. Those developers who wish to
encumber their software in this manner should find another
mechanism for distribution.
For completely novel programs (not modified works of
other authors), we suggest either the BSD copyright format,
the Free Software Foundation (GNU) copyleft format, or a
standard "public domain" notice (e.g. MY NAME, author of
this work, places this code into the public domain, DATE).
Legal and administrative restrictions present at various
research facilities preclude incorporation of any copylefted
code into the 386BSD kernel module. All other modules or
applications packages are not restricted since they are not
dependent on system operation and can be removed prior to
use.
Due to constraints on distribution size, research
directions, and number of submissions, we cannot guarantee
that any particular piece of software will be incorporated
into the next release, nor can we always respond to
inquiries. Submitted works will not be returned, so always
keep a copy on file.
However, we do review all appropriately documented
submitted work. Please email software submissions to
[email protected] or mail directly to: Lynne
Jolitz, 386BSD Reference CDROM Software Submissions, C/O Dr.
Dobbs Journal, 411 Borel Avenue, San Mateo, CA. 94402 USA.
We will not review any code which is marked "proprietary" or
"trade secret".
