Bonsoir

French for awesome

Introduction

As I have mentioned in this blog posting, I essentially wrote Bonsoir in one caffeine-driven night in Austin. Admittedly, the project is more of an educational tool (I wrote it for my presentation at the BarCamp), it has the possibility of becoming something useful dare I say it. Originally it was under the BarCampLicense but I have decided to change Bonsoir (as well as XmlToolbar) to be public domain.

What is Bonsoir?

Bonsoir is a small application aimed at facilitating sharing contact information at meetings, conferences, or any other event where there's a couple of Macs, and a wireless network. Bonsoir hooks into the Address Book API so you can directly select your vCard to share straight from your Address Book, and it uses Cocoa's Distributed Objects.

Licensing

The original author of Bonsoir has dedicated the code to the public domain. Anyone is free to copy, modify, publish, use, compile, sell, or distribute the original Bonsoir code, either in source code form or as a compiled binary, for any purpose, commercial or non-commercial, and by any means.
Note: The images included in the project are not public domain, merely example toolbar icons courtesy of Fernando Lins

Contributed Code

In order to keep Bonsoir completely free and unencumbered by copyright, other contributors to the Bonsoir code base are asked to likewise dedicate their contributions to the public domain. If you want to send a patch or enhancement for possible inclusion in the Bonsoir source tree, please accompany the patch with the following statement:

The author or authors of this code dedicate any and all copyright interest in this code to the public domain. We make this dedication for the benefit of the public at large and to the detriment of our heirs and successors. We intend this dedication to be an overt act of relinquishment in perpetuity of all present and future rights this code under copyright law.

We will certainly attribute your contributions, but we would like this project to remain as free as possible.
