[Oberon] Seeking ETHZ contact to find out licensing Oberon sources

[Felix Friedrich]

Dear Bernhard, all

Since the days I am with ETH (and some years before -- so about since 
year 2000), the 3-clause BSD license (following my signature below), has 
been used for the distributions of A2 (aka ActiveOberon / Bluebottle / 
AOS)  and most Oberon releases that I know of or worked with (such as, 
for example, the PlugIn Oberon System, in big parts by Emil Zeller).
Normally, such copyright text should come with the software / source 
code that you have. If you don't have the copyright text, you probably 
have to ask the main author. Sorry for being so vague, but I cannot 
speak for all contributors of the various Oberon implementations.

Kind regards
Felix
