izzy's plotting a PR, so prepare legalese, complete with the IANAL seal of lack of quality. also a slight neoux API improvement.
Blegh. I really do hate having to deal with legal stuff. I am going to spend hours looking over legal documents at this rate. On the one hand, central easy-to-mirror repository: Good On the other hand, central repository I have to ensure is legally AOK: Not good

## Authors & Licensing
|
||||
|
||||
Most code and data here by 20kdc.
|
||||
Disclaimer: I Am Not A Lawyer. I probably screwed something up in this.
|
||||
|
||||
Exceptions must be noted in this section, on a per-file basis, including submitted patches.
|
||||
It would be really nice if, if I have screwed up, that you tell me how.

## About code/README.asc
|
||||
Preferably with a solution that fits the technological constraints.
|
||||
|
||||
Licensing in this project is rather fluid,
|
||||
but everything in code/ is unconditionally under the following license:
|
||||
|
||||
This is released into the public domain.
|
||||
No warranty is provided, implied or otherwise.
|
||||
|
||||
This will be referred to as "Public Domain".
|
||||
|
||||
It should be considered equivalent to CC0, and this is the intent,
|
||||
but it is smaller, which is somewhat important when optimizing for size.
|
||||
|
||||
At this time, the majority of the code/ folder is by 20kdc, but exceptions may occur.
|
||||
|
||||
These exceptions must be documented below.
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
No exceptions exist at this time.
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The repository folder is much more complex, as the structure represents places in a running system,
|
||||
so licensing information cannot be directly bundled with the files that require it.
|
||||
|
||||
The contents of the repository/docs/licensing files represent a "full text" for a given license,
|
||||
used in order to ensure legal compliance with a given license's "distribute with the program" clauses.
|
||||
|
||||
It is assumed that this is sufficient.
|
||||
|
||||
A user with access to a package requiring newer licensing information that does not update their licensing package is assumed to have made a willing choice.
|
||||
|
||||
If you find this assumption to be incorrect, please request the removal of the affected packages.
|
||||
|
||||
The limitations of OpenComputers affect the available choices here, and having separate license copies for each package is not an available choice.
|
||||
|
||||
Nor is having a separate license package for each individual license, unless you would prefer an unbrowsable repository.
|
||||
|
||||
The contents of the repository/docs/repo-authors file contains a full list of authorship and licensing information, per-file.
|
||||
|
||||
## About NOTE-TO-MS.asc
|
||||
|
||||
It exists because it needs to exist.
|
||||
It does not represent the opinions of those who have contributed to the repository,
|
||||
only those of the person who digitally signed it (20kdc).

||||

## Known Issues (That Aren't KittenOS NEO's Fault)
|

|
||||
Touch calibration could be off if the setPrecise support mess didn't work properly.
|
||||
|
||||
Wide character support *may* encounter issues due to performance-saving tricks in some old OC versions. The 1.12.2 version being used at LimboCon doesn't have the issue, so it's been dealt with. Point is, not a KittenOS NEO bug if it happens.

If you move a window over another window, that window has to rerender. The alternative is buffering the window. Since memory is a concern, that is not going to happen. Some windows are more expensive to render than others (`klogo` tries to use less RAM if the system is 192K, at the expense of disk access) - move the most expensive window out of the way, since once a window is top-most, moving it around is usually "free".

If the system runs out of memory, the kernel could crash, or alternatively the system goes into a limbo state. You're more or less doomed. Given that almost everything in Lua causes a memory allocation, I'm not exactly sure how I'd be supposed to fix this properly.

Everything following is completely a draft. This is more like a guideline rather than actual policy.
|
||||
|
||||
All kernel or security-critical `sys-` process bugs will cause an installer update.
|
||||
|
||||
Other bugs will merely result in an updated copy in the repository.
|
||||
|
||||
This copy will be copied to installer code if and only if another condition requires the installer code be updated.
|
||||
|
||||
The code in the `code/` folder is the code meant for the installer.
|
||||
|
||||
Non-installer code is in the `repository/`, and thus accessible via CLAW.
|
||||
|
||||
As HTTPS is not used for this due to various weirdness that occurs when I try, I'm hosting the repository and `inst.lua` at `http://20kdc.duckdns.org/neo`.

||||
Requests for additional features in system APIs will NOT cause an installer update.

Frankly I don't even know what policy after that ought to be.
