AFS is a distributed file system that enables users to share and
|
|
access all of the files stored in a network of computers as easily as
|
|
they access the files stored on their local machines. The file system is
|
|
called distributed for this exact reason: files can reside on many
|
|
different machines, but are available to users on every machine.
|

OpenAFS 1.0 was originally released by IBM under the terms of the
|
|
IBM Public License 1.0 (IPL10). For details on IPL10 see the LICENSE
|
|
file in this directory. The current OpenAFS distribution is licensed
|
|
under a combination of the IPL10 and many other licenses as granted by
|
|
the relevant copyright holders. The LICENSE file in this directory
|
|
contains more details, thought not a comprehensive statement.
