BSD licensed Window Manager
I have built my own OS - more a window manager actually. It is based on BSD licensed code and includes a browser. This is a commercial project. Is this the right place to post ?
Re:BSD licensed Window Manager
Well... I've kind of taken the liberty of taking you out of the largest and most polluted thread in the board to the place where you probably should be. The testing board is for OSes that are complete or complete enough to be tested (and for purely testing reports to be given and responded to), and for publishing about new releases of your operating system.
This is obviously not for saying there's a new Windows and that everybody should go test this, it's for hobby OSes.
Since you consider your window manager plus browser to be an operating system, it belongs here (I think. There's no absolute definition, so I guess if you think it should be and nobody can give a good reason why it shouldn't be, it stays).
Most people around here tend to take the lower level approach, being overly ambitious (well... lots of us are, even though we're not going to admit it) and considering anything not programmed from the absolute ground up (or from Grub, that appear to be the two valid starting points) to be a derivate work and not an OS. Be forewarned to people who disagree with your definition and go easy on them (that goes for you others too!).
Other than that, it sounds good, but you include very little detail. Could you tell us just that little bit more that differs you from Litestep, KDE, Gnome, FVWM, Windows and Blackbox?
