* The GPL license here was a relic from the past to help control YellowTab's use of Haiku source code. The intent at the time was to relicense MIT. Some GPL parts remained. * This is going to get harder and harder to correct over time. * This code makes Haiku *not* MIT. Lets correct that. * I reached out to everyone who made changes to these files and got personal approvals to relicense MIT. * If I missed somebody, *and* you feel as though the MIT license doesn't meet your needs, please contact Haiku, Inc. and we will work to revert your changes.

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!
