# License and credits

## This documentation

Copyright © 8Labs. The Ixolate-specific pages (everything under *Get started*) may be reproduced for the purpose of operating an Ixolate appliance.

## Derived material

The reference chapters under *System*, *Network*, *Firewall*, *Services*, *VPN*, *Diagnostics & logs* and *Troubleshooting* are adapted from the documentation of the upstream firewall platform, which is published under the 2-clause BSD license reproduced below as its terms require. Product names in those chapters have been changed to match the Ixolate appliance; screenshots have been removed. Errors introduced by the adaptation are ours, not the original authors'.

Each adapted page records its source path in its frontmatter (`upstream:`), so the corresponding original can always be located.
