Information for: https://opensource.org/licenses/MirOS

Title: The MirOS Licence
Short identifyer: MirBSD
	(or MirOS, apparently that took off… but official, it’s MirBSD)
Official text: http://www.mirbsd.org/MirOS-Licence (heavy on UTF-8)

XHTML version: http://www.mirbsd.org/MirOS-Licence.htm

Licence on the licence text itself is… tricky. We never issued a
formal licence on it, but as a legal document itself, it can be
distributed along licenced works, and considering its history,
we don’t mind it being used as a basis for other licences, however
only “official” versions should be distributed under the name.

For short licences like this, threshold of originality likely
does not apply much… though I’ve got some pride about it.

The auxiliary text in the file is published under The MirOS Licence
itself, just like most material of ours.

Under no circumstances are any other licences, such as those from
the FSF or Creative Commons, to be applied to it.

You’re welcome. I’ve been waiting for over a decade for OSI to fix
the copying mistake they made when adding the text to its website
initially (the Unicode combining underscores were badly replaced),
perhaps you can take this as a chance to correct that? See the links
to the “official” versions above; just copy the ASCII version if you
don’t manage Unicode in the current time and age…

when God enlightens him. Or only God invents algorithms, we merely copy them.
If you don't believe in God, just consider God as Nature if you won't deny
existence.		-- Coywolf Qi Hunt
