Robert Millan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> described the package as follows: License: gpl Other License: note that the kernel and kernel-related utilities are GPL licensed, but the Glibc sysdeps extensions are LGPLed for obvious reasons. Package: Athena (aka Athena OS, or AtheOS) System name: athena Type: non-GNU Description: Athena (also known as Athena OS, or AtheOS [1]) is a UN*X-like kernel developed by Kurt Skauen. The kernel has a monolithic dessign and although its written with BeOS API in mind it's capable of running most of the GNU system (including Glibc and GNU userland) on top of it. [1] Since it is actualy a kernel i opt for avoiding the term "AtheOS" and call it using the long form "Athena". The project was originaly hosted at http://www.atheos.cx/, but unfortunately, Kurt (the only project maintainer) completely stopped development on it some time ago. He didn't give CVS access to anyone else so Athena's development is completely stalled now. Forks of his project that take completely different directions have been started. For example, one of them ported Athena to run on top of the kernel Linux. I don't intend this project at Savannah as a fork but rather as the means to restore CVS access so that the Athena project doesn't get stalled. I'm confident that the Athena developers will prefer to participate by using Savannah's facilities rather than letting their project die. I intend to use this Savannah project for development of the kernel Athena, but also the kernel-related utilities (for example, Glibc extensions for Athena, or kernel-specific utils like "top", "mount", etc). I don't have intention, though, for using Savannah's project for creating an Athena-based OS or distribution (i know it's not allowed). Whenever I want to do that i'll do it somewhere else, probably in Debian.
