| 25 | To apply the template(¹) specify the years of copyright (separated by |

| 30 | This licence is apt for any kind of work (such as source code, fonts, |
| 31 | documentation, graphics, sound etc.) and the preferred terms for work |
| 32 | added to MirBSD. It has been drafted as universally usable equivalent |
| 33 | of the "historic permission notice"⁽²⁾ adapted to Europen law because |
| 34 | in some (droit d`auteur) countries authors cannot disclaim all liabi‐ |
| 35 | lities. Compliance to DFSG⁽³⁾ 1.1 is ensured, and GPLv2 compatibility |
| 36 | is asserted unless advertising clauses are used. The MirOS Licence is |
| 37 | certified to conform to OKD⁽⁴⁾ 1.0 and OSD⁽⁵⁾ 1.9, and qualifies as a |
| 38 | Free Software⁽⁶⁾ and also Free Documentation⁽⁷⁾ licence and is inclu‐ |
| 39 | ded in some relevant lists⁽⁸⁾⁽⁹⁾⁽¹⁰⁾. |

| 41 | We believe you are not liable for work inserted which is intellectual |
| 42 | property of third parties, if you were not aware of the fact, act ap‐ |
| 43 | propriately as soon as you become aware of that problem, seek an ami‐ |
| 44 | cable solution for all parties, and never knowingly distribute a work |
| 45 | without being authorised to do so by its licensors. |
