Hi! We already have our licenses. Different code parts have different licenses: http://osfree.org/doku/en:legal. They are different because it is 3-rd part code which licenses can't be changed. Most osFree userland code (like command line utilities) is licensed under this license: http://osfree.org/doku/en:legal:osfree. This is a kind of BSD 3-clause license. Other parts have different licenses, e.g., our "OS/2 personality" is licensed as GPL v.2. Unfortunately, we can't change 3-rd part code licenses to BSD license. As we have different code under different licenses, they have their own copyright notices (see "legal" file in each program subdirectory).
