+Yaffs2 source code has not been included in this repository so that you are fully
+aware of the license restrictions before using it with uGFX.
+
+Yaffs2 may be downloaded from http://www.yaffs.net 
+ 
+This notice has been provided in collaboration with Aleph One - the owners of Yaffs2.
+As such it represents an agreement of understanding between Aleph One and uGFX.
+ 
+Yaffs2 is distributed under the GPLv2 license. Specifically that means the following…
+-	You may publish the source code for your project including the yaffs2 and uGFX code
+        provided that you retain the respective licenses and copyrights in the header
+        of each source file.
+-	You may create a binary for your own personal use.
+-	You MUST NOT distribute a binary that you produce in any form (even in the ROM of
+        a device) that contains both yaffs2 and uGFX code as that will put you in
+        breach of either the GPL license or the uGFX license no matter what you do.
+        See http://ugfx.org/licensing for more details.
+-	Regardless of whether the project is commercial or non-commercial, you MUST NOT
+        even compile binaries for other people since that is considered "distribution".
+        You cannot even compile binaries for a friend, they must build it for themselves.
+ 
+If you want to distribute a binary that contains both yaffs2 and uGFX (even in the
+ROM of a device) then you must obtain a commercial license of yaffs2 just as you must
+obtain a commercial license for uGFX if you want to use it for commercial purposes.
+ 
+Just as uGFX provides special licenses for certain open hardware projects, Aleph One
+may consider providing special licenses for various special purposes. Please contact
+Aleph One at info@aleph1.co.uk for more information.
