I added http://aur.archlinux.org/packages/plan9us-hg/plan9us-hg/README.too to an AUR http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=32983 for ArchLinux, we build from mercurial repo. How about adding a slightly re-phrased REAME.too as follows: "The bulk of this software is derived from Plan 9 and is thus distributed under the Lucent Public License, Version 1.02, reproduced below. There are a few exceptions: libutf, libfmt, and libregexp are distributed under simpler BSD-like boilerplates. See the LICENSE files in those directories. There are other exceptions, also marked with LICENSE files in their directories or marked at the top of the file. The bitmap fonts in the font/luc, font/lucm, font/lucsans, and font/pelm directory are copyright B&H Inc. and distributed under more restricted terms under agreement with B&H. See the NOTICE file in those directories. Most of the COPYRIGHT, LICENSE, NOTICE and, or README informative files are installed, but in /usr/local/plan9/unix or $PLAN9/unix directory." -- Balwinder S "bdheeman" Dheeman Registered Linux User: #229709 Anu'z Linux@HOME (Unix Shoppe) Machines: #168573, 170593, 259192 Chandigarh, UT, 160062, India Plan9, T2, Arch/Debian/FreeBSD/XP Home: http://werc.homelinux.net/ Visit: http://counter.li.org/
