## License
All first-party parts of ToaruOS are made available under the terms of the University of Illinois / NCSA License, which is a BSD-style permissive license.
Unless otherwise specified, this is the original and only license for all files in this repository - just because a file does not have a copyright header does not mean it isn't under this license.
ToaruOS is intended as an educational reference, and I encourage the use of my code, but please be sure you follow the requirements of the license.
You may redistribute code under the NCSA license, as well as make modifications to the code and sublicense it under other terms (such as the GPL, or a proprietary license), but you must always include the copyright notice specified in the license as well as make the full text of the license (it's only a couple paragraphs) available to end-users.
While most of ToaruOS is written entirely by myself, be sure to include other authors where relevant, such as with [Mike's audio subsystem](https://github.com/klange/toaruos/blob/master/kernel/audio/snd.c) or [Dale's string functions](https://github.com/klange/toaruos/blob/master/kernel/misc/string.c).
Some components of ToaruOS, such as [Kuroko](https://github.com/kuroko-lang/kuroko/blob/9f6160092ecece0f2c18b63c066151cbe0ded1bb/LICENSE) or [bim](https://github.com/klange/toaruos/blob/master/apps/bim.c#L3) have different but compatible terms.
