1 AFS is a distributed file system that enables users to share and
2 access all of the files stored in a network of computers as easily as
3 they access the files stored on their local machines. The file system is
4 called distributed for this exact reason: files can reside on many
5 different machines, but are available to users on every machine.
7 OpenAFS 1.0 was originally released by IBM under the terms of the
8 IBM Public License 1.0 (IPL10). For details on IPL10 see the LICENSE
9 file in this directory. The current OpenAFS distribution is licensed
10 under a combination of the IPL10 and many other licenses as granted by
11 the relevant copyright holders. The LICENSE file in this directory
