Hello,
What is the full meaning of @OSF_COPYRIGHT@ in Mach header files? Does
it only mean that the file was originally written by the Open Source
Foundation, or does it also automatically mean that it is licensed
under the license that you can see e.g. here: http://kernelsource.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/kernelsource/OSF-Mach/6.1/osfmk/src/mach_kernel/mach/events_info.h?revision=3&view=markup)
The reason that I'm asking, is that for our compiler port for
targeting the darwin/arm platform, I have to distribute a translation
of Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/SDKs/iPhoneOS2.1.sdk/usr/
include/mach/arm/_structs.h (in order to be able to properly deal with
signals)
The copyright notice in that file only says:
/*
* Copyright (c) 2004-2007 Apple Inc. All rights reserved.
*/
/*
* @OSF_COPYRIGHT@
*/
I cannot find any document anywhere explaining what this marker means.
If it does mean that it is licensed like the Mach kernel sources on
Sourceforge, then there is no problem for me to distribute the file
(the license forbids taking away that permission, and the iPhone SDK
license agreement also explicitly mentions that in those cases the NDA/
no distribution/no derivative works/... requirements do not apply).
Thanks,
Jonas
