PicoBSD  (from http://www.freebsd.org/~picobsd/copyright.html#picobsd)

Andrzej Bialecki has been the main man as far as the PicoBSD project is concerned. Most everything you see is his work. Licensing issues PicoBSD is distributed under BSD copyright, which allows you to use it in various ways, including commercial applications. So grab it and enjoy! And if you feel that you want to help with this project, either by donating some time to write code, or by some other donation, just contact me at Andrzej Bialecki or at abial.AT.freebsd.org.

 

BSD Daemon  (from http://www.mckusick.com/beastie/mainpage/copyright.html)

The BSD Daemon is copyrighted by Marshall Kirk McKusick. Usage of the daemon is permitted under the terms described below. Individuals may use the daemon for their personal use within the bounds of good taste (an example of bad taste was a picture of the BSD daemon blowtorching a Solaris logo). When reasonably possible, I would like the text ``BSD Daemon Copyright 1988 by Marshall Kirk McKusick. All Rights Reserved.'' to be included. This text need not be etched into the figure or garishly displayed when using the daemon as say an Icon in a web frame. A good example of how to handle the due credit in a web page is to create a link from the daemon picture to the following text:

BSD Daemon Copyright 1988 by Marshall Kirk McKusick.
All Rights Reserved.

Permission to use the daemon may be obtained from:
Marshall Kirk McKusick
1614 Oxford St
Berkeley, CA 94709-1608
USA
or via email at mckusick.AT.mckusick.com

If you want to mass produce the daemon on T-shirts, CDROM's, etc you need to request permission in advance. In general, I require that the daemon be used in an appropriate way. This means that it has to be something related to BSD and not expropriated as a company logo (though I do allow companies with BSD-based products such as Walnut Creek CDROM or BSDI to use it). I regret having to be so legalistic about the daemon, but I almost lost the daemon to a certain large company because I failed to show due diligence in protecting it. So, I've taken due diligence seriously since then.
