******************************** DuinOS v0.1 Alpha ******************************** Copyright (C) 2009 Multiplo http://multiplo.org http://robotgroup.com.ar Created by Julián U. da Silva Gillig. Based on the FreeRTOS v5.4.2 kernel (www.freertos.org). Please see the License section below. This is our only distribution of DuinOS, which includes the complete source code. The last version is always available from http://robotgroup.com.ar ******************************** License ******************************** The DuinOS kernel (cores\arduino.DuinOS) is under the same license as the FreeRTOS operating system (www.freertos.org) Please see the included FreeRTOS.license.txt file. We have used too, some files belonging to the AVR port of the FreeRTOS operating system, made by Micropendous (www.micropendous.org). As these files are modified FreeRTOS files, we understand they are under the same license as the FreeRTOS kernel. We are grateful to Opendous Inc. for their valuable contribution to the open source community. If there are some other files belonging to the Micropendous project, these may be under the following license: Copyright Under the Creative Commons Attribution License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/ By Opendous Inc. www.Micropendous.org October 04, 2009 Please visit www.micropendous.org if there is any doubt. NOTE: We strongly believe in peace, so we would not like to see our work in any non-civil or military project. But, due to the FreeRTOS's modified GPL license which we do have to maintain, this is only a recommendation and an expression of our wishes. ******************************** Installing DuinOS ******************************** 0.
