legal aspects in order to use the open source sw fsck_msdosfs

2009-04-21 Thread Stefan Beskow

Hello,
My name is Stefan Beskow and I work as a configuration manager within
Ericsson AB.
I am investigating the legal aspects of the use of open source sw within
a project.

Could you please help me with information about license issues and
copywriting issues ea for the fsck_msdosfs ? 
What is required in order to use the fsck_msdosfs software?


Best regards,
Stefan Beskow

fsck_msdosfs is provided under a BSD license like most of the rest of 
FreeBSD. See: 
http://www.freebsd.org/copyright/index.html and especially 
http://www.freebsd.org/copyright/freebsd-license.html.

For fsck_msdosfs in particular, see also the comments at the top of the 
source files, e.g.:
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/sbin/fsck_msdosfs/main.c?rev=1.15.20.1;content-type=text%2Fplain.
