Licences

Every piece of software amigaux ships keeps its own licence. The full texts are on the installed system; this page lists what the licences ask us to say, and where to find them.

Where the licences are

• A package's licences: /opt/amix/doc/<package>/.
• A kernel or driver package's: /var/sadm/pkg/<package>/install/copyright.

Acknowledgements

These licences ask that anything advertising the software's features or use carries their line.

Source code

The ZZ9000 service modules (zz9ksvc30, zz9ksvc46) are under the GPL, version 3 or later, as they carry the ZZ9000 SDK's headers. Their source is kernel/modules/zz9ksvc in amix; their licence is in /var/sadm/pkg/zz9ksvc46/install/copyright.

The Z3660 firmware, the release's firmware file and the SD card kit's fat/, is built from the Z3660 source, under the GPL, version 3: Z3660.bin from amix-1.1 of our fork, BOOT.BIN and FAILSAFE.bin as upstream's, shanshe/Z3660. It holds third-party parts under their own licences: the Xilinx standalone BSP and FSBL, lwIP (BSD), mbedTLS (Apache-2.0) and the UAE CPU core (GPL-2). The kit's CPLD file, boot screen and timings come from the Z3660 project, under the GPL, version 3.

With thanks

The Z3660 Ethernet driver's STREAMS skeleton descends from Commodore's Amix aen.c by Keith Gabryelski, by way of Ignacio Soriano's hydra-amix driver.
