-[LICENSING] 
-
-ReiserFS is hereby licensed under the GNU General
-Public License version 2.
-
-Source code files that contain the phrase "licensing governed by
-reiserfs/README" are "governed files" throughout this file.  Governed
-files are licensed under the GPL.  The portions of them owned by Hans
-Reiser, or authorized to be licensed by him, have been in the past,
-and likely will be in the future, licensed to other parties under
-other licenses.  If you add your code to governed files, and don't
-want it to be owned by Hans Reiser, put your copyright label on that
-code so the poor blight and his customers can keep things straight.
-All portions of governed files not labeled otherwise are owned by Hans
-Reiser, and by adding your code to it, widely distributing it to
-others or sending us a patch, and leaving the sentence in stating that
-licensing is governed by the statement in this file, you accept this.
-It will be a kindness if you identify whether Hans Reiser is allowed
-to license code labeled as owned by you on your behalf other than
-under the GPL, because he wants to know if it is okay to do so and put
-a check in the mail to you (for non-trivial improvements) when he
-makes his next sale.  He makes no guarantees as to the amount if any,
-though he feels motivated to motivate contributors, and you can surely
-discuss this with him before or after contributing.  You have the
-right to decline to allow him to license your code contribution other
-than under the GPL.
-
-Further licensing options are available for commercial and/or other
-interests directly from Hans Reiser: hans@reiser.to.  If you interpret
-the GPL as not allowing those additional licensing options, you read
-it wrongly, and Richard Stallman agrees with me, when carefully read
-you can see that those restrictions on additional terms do not apply
-to the owner of the copyright, and my interpretation of this shall
-govern for this license.  
-
-Finally, nothing in this license shall be interpreted to allow you to
-fail to fairly credit me, or to remove my credits, without my
-permission, unless you are an end user not redistributing to others.
-If you have doubts about how to properly do that, or about what is
-fair, ask.  (Last I spoke with him Richard was contemplating how best
-to address the fair crediting issue in the next GPL version.)

-[END LICENSING]
-
-Reiserfs is a file system based on balanced tree algorithms, which is
-described at http://devlinux.com/namesys.
-
-Stop reading here.  Go there, then return.
-
-Send bug reports to yura@namesys.botik.ru.
-
-mkreiserfs and other utilities are in reiserfs/utils, or wherever your
-Linux provider put them.  There is some disagreement about how useful
-it is for users to get their fsck and mkreiserfs out of sync with the
-version of reiserfs that is in their kernel, with many important
-distributors wanting them out of sync.:-) Please try to remember to
-recompile and reinstall fsck and mkreiserfs with every update of
-reiserfs, this is a common source of confusion.  Note that some of the
-utilities cannot be compiled without accessing the balancing code
-which is in the kernel code, and relocating the utilities may require
-you to specify where that code can be found.
-
-Yes, if you update your reiserfs kernel module you do have to
-recompile your kernel, most of the time.  The errors you get will be
-quite cryptic if your forget to do so.
-
-Real users, as opposed to folks who want to hack and then understand
-what went wrong, will want REISERFS_CHECK off.
-
-Hideous Commercial Pitch: Spread your development costs across other OS
-vendors.  Select from the best in the world, not the best in your
-building, by buying from third party OS component suppliers.  Leverage
-the software component development power of the internet.  Be the most
-aggressive in taking advantage of the commercial possibilities of
-decentralized internet development, and add value through your branded
-integration that you sell as an operating system.  Let your competitors
-be the ones to compete against the entire internet by themselves.  Be
-hip, get with the new economic trend, before your competitors do.  Send
-email to hans@reiser.to.
-
-To understand the code, after reading the website, start reading the
-code by reading reiserfs_fs.h first.
-
-Hans Reiser was the project initiator, primary architect, source of all
-funding for the first 5.5 years, and one of the programmers.  He owns
-the copyright.
-
-Vladimir Saveljev was one of the programmers, and he worked long hours
-writing the cleanest code.  He always made the effort to be the best he
-could be, and to make his code the best that it could be.  What resulted
-was quite remarkable. I don't think that money can ever motivate someone
-to work the way he did, he is one of the most selfless men I know.
-
-Yura helps with benchmarking, coding hashes, and block pre-allocation
-code.
-
-Anatoly Pinchuk is a former member of our team who worked closely with
-Vladimir throughout the project's development.  He wrote a quite
-substantial portion of the total code.  He realized that there was a
-space problem with packing tails of files for files larger than a node
-that start on a node aligned boundary (there are reasons to want to node
-align files), and he invented and implemented indirect items and
-unformatted nodes as the solution.
-
-Konstantin Shvachko, with the help of the Russian version of a VC,
-tried to put me in a position where I was forced into giving control
-of the project to him.  (Fortunately, as the person paying the money
-for all salaries from my dayjob I owned all copyrights, and you can't
-really force takeovers of sole proprietorships.)  This was something
-curious, because he never really understood the value of our project,
-why we should do what we do, or why innovation was possible in
-general, but he was sure that he ought to be controlling it.  Every
-innovation had to be forced past him while he was with us.  He added
-two years to the time required to complete reiserfs, and was a net
-loss for me.  Mikhail Gilula was a brilliant innovator who also left
-in a destructive way that erased the value of his contributions, and
-that he was shown much generosity just makes it more painful.
-
-Grigory Zaigralin was an extremely effective system administrator for
-our group.
-
-Igor Krasheninnikov was wonderful at hardware procurement, repair, and
-network installation.
-
-Jeremy Fitzhardinge wrote the teahash.c code, and he gives credit to a
-textbook he got the algorithm from in the code.  Note that his analysis
-of how we could use the hashing code in making 32 bit NFS cookies work
-was probably more important than the actual algorithm.  Colin Plumb also
-contributed to it.
-
-Chris Mason dived right into our code, and in just a few months produced
-the journaling code that dramatically increased the value of ReiserFS.
-He is just an amazing programmer.
-
-Igor Zagorovsky is writing much of the new item handler and extent code
-for our next major release.
-
-Alexander Zarochentcev (sometimes known as zam, or sasha), wrote the
-resizer, and is hard at work on implementing allocate on flush.  SGI
-implemented allocate on flush before us for XFS, and generously took
-the time to convince me we should do it also.  They are great people,
-and a great company.
-
-Yuri Shevchuk and Nikita Danilov are doing squid cache optimization.
-
-Vitaly Fertman is doing fsck.
-
-Jeff Mahoney, of SuSE, contributed a few cleanup fixes, most notably
-the endian safe patches which allow ReiserFS to run on any platform
-supported by the Linux kernel.
-
-SuSE, IntegratedLinux.com, Ecila, MP3.com, bigstorage.com, and the
-Alpha PC Company made it possible for me to not have a day job
-anymore, and to dramatically increase our staffing.  Ecila funded
-hypertext feature development, MP3.com funded journaling, SuSE funded
-core development, IntegratedLinux.com funded squid web cache
-appliances, bigstorage.com funded HSM, and the alpha PC company funded
-the alpha port.  Many of these tasks were helped by sponsors other
-than the ones just named.  SuSE has helped in much more than just
-funding....
