This file was introduced with the rationale that bots attempt to scrape GitHub repositories for license data. GitHub now has an API for this, and since all its sniffer rules fail because this file is not identical to any known license, it just marks it "Other" and includes the full text anyway. Since this is the case, nobody else wants to look at all the licenses in a single monolithic file, so we just put the explanatory message and a reference to the directory containing all the licenses at the top of the file, and include only the MIT license. Also, GitHub renders Markdown nicer than it does plain text, so use that (which matches what we already do for READMEs.) |

Haiku
Homepage | Mailing Lists | IRC Channels | Issue Tracker | API docs
Haiku is an open-source operating system that specifically targets personal computing. Inspired by the BeOS, Haiku is fast, simple to use, easy to learn and yet very powerful.
Goals
- Sensible defaults with minimal configuration required.
- Clean, clear, concise code.
- Unified desktop environment.
Trying Haiku
Haiku provides pre-built nightly images and release images. Haiku is compatible with a large variety of hardware, but in case you don't want to "take the plunge" and install Haiku on bare metal, you can install it on a virtual machine (VM) instead. If you've never used a VM before, you can follow one of the "Emulating Haiku" guides.
Compiling Haiku
See ReadMe.Compiling
.
Contributing
Haiku is a meritocratic open source project with a large variety of tasks. Even if you can't write code, you can still help! Haiku needs designers, (technical) writers, translators, testers... Get involved and help out!
