Documentation / Blueprint Desktop Help
This is the notice the Toolchest's Help > Legal Notice shows. It carries Blueprint's own license, the disclaimer of warranty, the trademark position, and the notices Blueprint is required to pass on for code it did not write.
For the shorter about-this-program blurb, see Copyright Information.

Blueprint is a clean-room revival of the SGI IRIX Interactive Desktop. It is not a product of Silicon Graphics, is not endorsed by Silicon Graphics, and carries no Silicon Graphics code.
"Silicon Graphics", "SGI", "IRIX", "IRIS", "InSight" and "Indigo Magic" are the marks of their respective owners. They are used here only nominatively, to say what Blueprint revives and to name the behavior it reproduces. No claim to any of them is made or implied.
"Motif" is a mark of its respective owner. Blueprint builds against a Motif API implementation; it does not include one.
Blueprint carries one piece of code it did not write, and its license requires this notice to travel with every copy.
The on-screen keyboard reads its layouts with cJSON (src/cyosk/cJSON.c and src/cyosk/cJSON.h).
