Preamble
(Our conditions are not designed to hurt you, merely to protect
us. )
Our CDROMs contain software from a myriad of sources,
impossible to list. You must comply with the conditions for
each software component you choose to use. We provide no
exemption, cover, licence, extra permission, or recommendation
etc.
Licences, Copyrights Etc
The base of our CDROMs is FreeBSD, you must
comply with its BSD licence.
Other major software components include FSF (License here),
X-Consortium & XFree86
(licence here). You
must also comply with their conditions if you use their
software, which you almost undoubtedly will.
The CDROMs also contain hundreds to thousands of other
software items. You must comply with the myriad Readmes,
licences, etc, appropriate to each component you choose to use.
Choose from over 32,517 @ 2020-08-24 packages some of which may

Liability
All liability is disclaimed inc. direct, indirect,
consequential & other, etc.
Generic FreeBSD CDROMs
are not mastered by VSL or it's consultants, & VSL for
itself & its consultants disclaims all & every
liability.
For special CDROMs mastered by VSL from 3rd party
components, (EG FreeBSD, X, FSF, Apache, Mozilla, KDE etc) VSL
for itself & its consultants disclaims all & every
liability for all 3rd party components.
No recommendation of use is given, sold, or implied. Decide
yourself if the software is appropriate for your use.
VSL disclaim liability on its own components. The CDROMs are
merely data containers for transfering code, but do Not
transfer a license for use. If you want VSL to assess your
requirements & license its software for use in your
context, you must pay VSL a consultancy fee in addition to the
data media / CDROM cost.
Patents
No patent licensing included.
- VSL merely provide the CDROMs as a data container; which
bits you choose to use is your concern, not ours.
- If the law in your legal jurisdiction requires software
patent licensing, you must determine that, & you must
purchase, & licence whatever you determine appropriate
from whoever you determine appropriate.
- ( Many consider software patents
to be immoral & damaging to progress in society &
business, being an impediment to distribution of free public
domain software. There are active campaigns to get
damaging software patent law changed, & to rein in an
aggressive European Patent Office that sells software patents to obstruct
the public. )
Fitness For Purpose
We make no recommendation of use. Decide yourself if the CDROMs
& software are usable or appropriate for your purposes. If
you want a professional opinion, hire a computer consultant to advise you if the
software is appropriate for your purpose, &/or to customise
to your needs.
