when we login to HPUX, its saying, the copyright page as follows:

-------------------------------------------------------
i am just thinking that,
1.)this copyright page means "This HPUX contains all these companies softwares or applications or utils. we got license from them to use that".
is it correct?
2.) how to find out what applictions of a company is in use with hpux? for example: (c)Copyright 1996 Morning Star Technologies, Inc. means some apllications are in use from morning star tech,..isnt? what are those applications..?
Solved! Go to Solution.

Solution2) No, as mentioned above, it refers to contributions to the OS code. These contributions might be a portion of filesystem code or some code in a daemon used in networking or perhaps a method to handle tape I/O.

Re: about copyright question
1) Yes HP-UX contains components from these various companies. HP has agreements with these companies to include their items in HP-UX. You are licensed to use the items from those companies as a result of your HP-UX license.
2) You *might* be able to see some of this by looking at the man page for various commands. For example the 'tunefs' man page has an AUTHOR section at the end that indicates the command was developed by University of California at Berkeley.
AUTHOR
tunefs was developed by the University of California, Berkeley.
Other commands have some similar info. Other than this, I'm not sure there is an easy way to tell what parts of HP-UX came from what companies.

Re: about copyright question
nfs of example was developed by SUN, but is now also part of HPUX. So SUN needs to be credited, which also happens in the manpages.
But can't find any mention of "Morning Star" in the man pages.
For a list of the commands (co)developed grep the manpages for "was developed by". Makes interesting reading!

Re: about copyright question
Your question is also about the history and origins of Unix at large. You might find this article of interest:
