Warren Toomey 6d4bcda587 I've updated some of the Readme file to clarify that the code from the
scanned pages is owned by Novel and they have copyright on it. Everything
else is GPLv3.

# pdp7-unix
This is a project to resurrect Unix on the PDP-7 from a scan of the original
assembly code done by Norman Wilson.
Right now the scans are in the Unix Archive at
http://www.tuhs.org/Archive/PDP-11/Distributions/research/McIlroy_v0/
as the files 0*.pdf. We now need to convert these to machine-readable
assembly code, write tools such as an assembler, a filesystem creation tool,
and write from scratch missing things like a shell, ls etc.
The code in the original scans are (c) Novel who own the rights to the Unix
source code. Everything that didn't come from the scanned pages are GPLv3.
scans holds the unmodified OCR versions of the scanned files
src/cmd holds the modified source code of the user-mode programs
src/sys holds the modified source code of the kernel
tools holds the source for the tools written to assist the project
misc holds miscellaneous notes and information
