Minimal VM 快速入门

出版日期: 2023 年 12 月 11 日

下面的内容提供了 SUSE Linux Enterprise Server Minimal VM(以前称为 JeOS)的概述并说明了设置过程。

1 简介

Minimal VM 是一种专为特定使用场景而设计的可自定义极简操作系统,包含一个容器主机、一个虚拟机 Guest、一个设备库或小型服务器映像。Minimal VM 是构建数据中心内使用的系统、创建所需虚拟应用程序映像或设备的基础。您可以根据特定使用情形选择要安装的软件包和组件。为此,Minimal VM 提供了对所有常规储存库的访问途径。

如果您已有 SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 证书,将会自动通过 Minimal VM 认证,因为 Minimal VM 源自同一代码库。SUSE Linux Enterprise Server Minimal VM 允许您缩减操作系统,只提供针对特定使用场景的必要软件包。如此可最大程度减少需要管理和应用的软件包和补丁数量。通过去除不必要的软件包,您还可以减少可能的漏洞数量,从而让精简后的系统更安全。此外,缩小系统占用的空间还可降低资源消耗并提高性能。

Minimal VM 以经过预配置且可立即运行的虚拟机映像的形式提供。系统附带 jeos-firstboot 向导,可在首次引导期间指引您配置系统区域设置和 root 口令。Minimal VM 随附已启用且已从防火墙配置中排除的 SSH 服务器。提供的 KIWI 模板可用于创建自定义 Minimal VM 映像。

Minimal VM 提供可在 AMD64/Intel 64 体系结构上即时部署的服务器映像,适用于以下使用场景:

  • 具有 HVM 的 KVM/Xen

  • Xen 半虚拟化

  • Microsoft Hyper-V

  • VMWare

  • OpenStack Cloud

1.1 系统要求

Minimal VM 最低系统要求与 SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 类似。有关更多信息,请参见第 2.1 节 “硬件要求”

1.2 Minimal VM 与 SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 之间的差异

Minimal VM 与 SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 之间存在一些重大差异。

Minimal VM 与 SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 之间的差异
jeos-firstboot

Minimal VM 随附了 jeos-firstboot 工具,可用于在首次引导期间配置基本设置。这些设置包括键盘布局和语言、时区以及 root 口令。

默认网络配置设置为使用 DHCP,系统会自动创建初始配置的 Btrfs 快照。

kernel-default-base

由于存在大小限制,Minimal VM 映像使用 kernel-default-base 作为默认内核。因为该内核不包含裸机的驱动程序,所以占用的空间更小。

如果特定使用场景需要任何被省略的模块,请安装 kernel-default 软件包,以实现完整的内核模块树。常规 SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 安装使用的就是该内核。

默认无储存库

从安装媒体安装 SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 时,系统会自动将安装媒体设置为默认脱机通道。

而 Minimal VM 默认无此通道,您需要注册系统才能访问联机通道。有关详细信息,请参见第 9.3.2 节 “使用 SUSEConnect 注册”

注意
注意

仅当启用了 Development Tools 模块时,jeos-firstbootjeos-licenseslive-langset-data 才会接收更新。不过,运行 Minimal VM 实例并不需要使用这些软件包,因此可以将它们去除或保持原样。

Zypper 配置

Minimal VM 是 SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 的精简版本。有一部分大小的缩减是通过启用 /etc/zypp/zypp.conf 中的以下两个选项实现的:rpm.install.excludedocs = yes(默认在安装过程中排除所有标记为文档的文件)和 solver.onlyRequires = true(默认禁止安装建议的软件包)。

基本软件包

Minimal VM 映像通过 KIWI 工具来构建。KIWI 的配置文件(称为模板)明确列出了映像中必须包含的软件包。请注意,在映像构建过程中,这些基本软件包会拉取其依赖项。因此,映像中预安装的软件包列表包含的软件包通常会比基本软件包列表多。

用于创建官方 Minimal VM 映像的 KIWI 配置文件可从 https://build.opensuse.org/ 上的 openSUSE Build Service 中获得。

注意
注意:特定主机工具软件包

每个 SUSE Linux Enterprise Server Minimal VM 变体都包含特定的主机工具软件包。有关更多信息,请参见文档中的特定风格章节。

磁盘布局

与 SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 在安装期间计算磁盘布局不同,Minimal VM 使用如下固定的虚拟映像分区方案:

  • 2 MB BIOS 引导

  • 33 MB EFI 系统

  • 24 GB Linux 文件系统

要获得额外的磁盘空间,您可以扩展虚拟主机中的现有磁盘,也可以向虚拟机添加另一个磁盘。如果您选择后一个选项,则必须手动进行分区和格式化。

已禁用 systemd-coredump

由于 Minimal VM 映像上默认可用的内存和磁盘空间大小有限,Minimal VM 映像上默认会禁用 systemd-coredump。要收集查错所需的应用程序内核转储,请执行以下步骤:

  • 安装 systemd-coredump 软件包,其中包含 /usr/lib/sysctl.d/50-coredump.conf

  • 要对您的系统应用配置更改,请重引导或使用 sysctl --system 命令。

有关更多信息,请参见 https://documentation.suse.com/sles/html/SLES-all/cha-tuning-systemd-coredump.html

2 可用的映像风格

即时可用的 Minimal VM 映像仅适用于 x86_64 体系结构。您可以下载适用于以下部署目标的 Minimal VM:

  • 适用于 KVM 和 Xen 的全虚拟 Minimal VM (FV/HVM)

  • 适用于 VMware 的 Minimal VM

  • 适用于 Microsoft Hyper-V 的 Minimal VM

  • 适用于 OpenStack 的 Minimal VM

  • 适用于 Xen 的半虚拟 Minimal VM (PV)

重要
重要:支持的虚拟化主机(超级管理程序)

Minimal VM 可在 SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 的虚拟化主机(超级管理程序)上作为虚拟化 Guest 运行。有关受支持超级管理程序的详细信息,请参见第 7.3 节 “支持的主机环境(超级管理程序)”

2.1 适用于 OpenStack Cloud 的 Minimal VM 映像

适用于 OpenStack Cloud 的 Minimal VM 是专为在 OpenStack 环境中使用而设计的映像。

适用于 OpenStack Cloud 的 Minimal VM 不会使用 jeos-firstboot 工具配置映像,而是使用 cloud-init 来配置。映像还使用 XFS 文件系统和以下内核配置:

"plymouth.enable=0 console=ttyS0,115200 console=tty0 net.ifnames=0"

这表示该映像并未随附 jeos-firstboot 和 Btrfs 所需的软件包。

适用于 OpenStack Cloud 的 Minimal VM 包含数个与 OpenStack 相关的软件包,例如 cloud-initcloud-init-config-susexfsprogs

2.1.1 cloud-init 基础知识

cloud-init 会自动将自定义配置应用到正在运行的实例。该工具有多种配置模块,在引导阶段,它可以在映像中执行特定的命令。

cloud-init 的默认配置包含在cloud-init-config-suse 软件包中,位于 /etc/cloud/cloud.cfg 目录中。

2.1.2 cloud-init 配置示例

默认情况下,cloud-init 不会设置 root 口令,而是创建名为 sles 的用户帐户,该帐户充当默认用户并拥有 sudo 权限。下面的示例会为这两个用户创建口令。

例 1︰ 添加口令
#cloud-config
chpasswd:
  list: |
    root:$6$SalTsaLt$miA./Q1i1mKR0sYicn/yAzNHP6y32JjOdVIn5agAiaEKaSaZdC3X6CVTW2d/xslQfevCc20teWLurq12x8mbe1
    sles:$6$SalTsaLt$.cuqsgjNGxHJZSLmVqkI/j9.kWIiUQHqjlRswbHjTw9hIXdPomgey2DHzmp6Ho6wgqIKz3ufbOIKdQCnQHPSA1
  expire: False

要创建示例中使用的 SHA-512 哈希,请运行命令:openssl passwd -6 -salt SalTsaLt PASSWORD

警告
警告:用户口令

为了避免潜在的安全风险,请不要在生产环境中使用口令。即使是使用经过哈希处理的口令,您也可能会遭到字典攻击。为了提高安全性,请使用 SSH 身份验证,而不要使用口令。

创建用户时,请注意系统默认会禁用口令登录,并且新建的用户没有 sudo 权限。

以下示例显示了用于创建各种用户的配置。

例 2︰ 具有口令和 sudo 权限的新用户
#cloud-config
users:
  - default
  - name: USER
    shell: /bin/bash
    groups: users
    # lock_passwd: Disable password login. Defaults to true
    lock_passwd: false
    passwd: $6$SalTsaLt$.cuqsgjNGxHJZSLmVqkI/j9.kWIiUQHqjlRswbHjTw9hIXdPomgey2DHzmp6Ho6wgqIKz3ufbOIKdQCnQHPSA1
    sudo: ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD:ALL
例 3︰ 具有 SSH 密钥和 sudo 权限的新用户
#cloud-config
users:
  - name: USER
    shell: /bin/bash
    groups: users
    ssh_import_id: None
    lock_passwd: true
    sudo: ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD:ALL
    ssh_authorized_keys:
      - SSH_PUBLIC_KEY_1
      - SSH_PUBLIC_KEY_2

要连接 SUMA、RMT 或 SUSEConnect 并在其中注册,请使用 runcmd 模块运行所需的命令,例如:

#cloud-config
runcmd:
  - SUSEConnect -r REGISTRATION_CODE -e EMAIL_ADDRESS

有关更多信息,请参见 https://documentation.suse.com/sles/html/SLES-all/cha-register-sle.html

对于 RMT,配置如下所示:

#cloud-config
runcmd:
  - curl http://RMT_SERVER/tools/rmt-client-setup \ --output rmt-client-setup
  - sh rmt-client-setup https://RMT_SERVER/

有关更多信息,请参见 https://documentation.suse.com/sles/html/SLES-all/cha-rmt-client.html

对于 SUMA,配置如下所示:

#cloud-config
runcmd:
  - curl -O http://suma01/pub/bootstrap/bootstrap.sh
  - /bin/bash bootstrap.sh

有关更多信息,请参见 https://documentation.suse.com/external-tree/en-us/suma/4.0/suse-manager/client-configuration/registration-bootstrap.html

最后,下面的示例显示了用于安装某个软件包并在首次引导期间启动某个服务的配置。

#cloud-config
packages:
  - qemu-guest-agent
runcmd:
  - systemctl enable qemu-guest-agent.service
  - systemctl start --no-block qemu-guest-agent.service

2.2 KVM/Xen 和 Xen 风格

适用于 KVM/Xen 和 Xen 的 Minimal VM 映像随附以下软件包:

  • xen-tools-domU

  • grub2-x86_64-xen

  • xen-libs

2.3 Microsoft Hyper-V 风格

适用于 Microsoft Hyper-V 的 Minimal VM 映像随附 hyper-v

2.4 VMware 风格

适用于 VMware 的 Minimal VM 映像随附 open-vm-tools

5 GNU Free Documentation License

Copyright (C) 2000, 2001, 2002 Free Software Foundation, Inc. 51 Franklin St, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA 02110-1301 USA. Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.

The purpose of this License is to make a manual, textbook, or other functional and useful document "free" in the sense of freedom: to assure everyone the effective freedom to copy and redistribute it, with or without modifying it, either commercially or non-commercially. Secondarily, this License preserves for the author and publisher a way to get credit for their work, while not being considered responsible for modifications made by others.

This License is a kind of "copyleft", which means that derivative works of the document must themselves be free in the same sense. It complements the GNU General Public License, which is a copyleft license designed for free software.

We have designed this License to use it for manuals for free software, because free software needs free documentation: a free program should come with manuals providing the same freedoms that the software does. But this License is not limited to software manuals; it can be used for any textual work, regardless of subject matter or whether it is published as a printed book. We recommend this License principally for works whose purpose is instruction or reference.

This License applies to any manual or other work, in any medium, that contains a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it can be distributed under the terms of this License. Such a notice grants a world-wide, royalty-free license, unlimited in duration, to use that work under the conditions stated herein. The "Document", below, refers to any such manual or work. Any member of the public is a licensee, and is addressed as "you". You accept the license if you copy, modify or distribute the work in a way requiring permission under copyright law.

A "Modified Version" of the Document means any work containing the Document or a portion of it, either copied verbatim, or with modifications and/or translated into another language.

A "Secondary Section" is a named appendix or a front-matter section of the Document that deals exclusively with the relationship of the publishers or authors of the Document to the Document's overall subject (or to related matters) and contains nothing that could fall directly within that overall subject. (Thus, if the Document is in part a textbook of mathematics, a Secondary Section may not explain any mathematics.) The relationship could be a matter of historical connection with the subject or with related matters, or of legal, commercial, philosophical, ethical or political position regarding them.

The "Invariant Sections" are certain Secondary Sections whose titles are designated, as being those of Invariant Sections, in the notice that says that the Document is released under this License. If a section does not fit the above definition of Secondary then it is not allowed to be designated as Invariant. The Document may contain zero Invariant Sections. If the Document does not identify any Invariant Sections then there are none.

The "Cover Texts" are certain short passages of text that are listed, as Front-Cover Texts or Back-Cover Texts, in the notice that says that the Document is released under this License. A Front-Cover Text may be at most 5 words, and a Back-Cover Text may be at most 25 words.

A "Transparent" copy of the Document means a machine-readable copy, represented in a format whose specification is available to the general public, that is suitable for revising the document straightforwardly with generic text editors or (for images composed of pixels) generic paint programs or (for drawings) some widely available drawing editor, and that is suitable for input to text formatters or for automatic translation to a variety of formats suitable for input to text formatters. A copy made in an otherwise Transparent file format whose markup, or absence of markup, has been arranged to thwart or discourage subsequent modification by readers is not Transparent. An image format is not Transparent if used for any substantial amount of text. A copy that is not "Transparent" is called "Opaque".

Examples of suitable formats for Transparent copies include plain ASCII without markup, Texinfo input format, LaTeX input format, SGML or XML using a publicly available DTD, and standard-conforming simple HTML, PostScript or PDF designed for human modification. Examples of transparent image formats include PNG, XCF and JPG. Opaque formats include proprietary formats that can be read and edited only by proprietary word processors, SGML or XML for which the DTD and/or processing tools are not generally available, and the machine-generated HTML, PostScript or PDF produced by some word processors for output purposes only.

The "Title Page" means, for a printed book, the title page itself, plus such following pages as are needed to hold, legibly, the material this License requires to appear in the title page. For works in formats which do not have any title page as such, "Title Page" means the text near the most prominent appearance of the work's title, preceding the beginning of the body of the text.

A section "Entitled XYZ" means a named subunit of the Document whose title either is precisely XYZ or contains XYZ in parentheses following text that translates XYZ in another language. (Here XYZ stands for a specific section name mentioned below, such as "Acknowledgements", "Dedications", "Endorsements", or "History".) To "Preserve the Title" of such a section when you modify the Document means that it remains a section "Entitled XYZ" according to this definition.

The Document may include Warranty Disclaimers next to the notice which states that this License applies to the Document. These Warranty Disclaimers are considered to be included by reference in this License, but only as regards disclaiming warranties: any other implication that these Warranty Disclaimers may have is void and has no effect on the meaning of this License.

You may copy and distribute the Document in any medium, either commercially or non-commercially, provided that this License, the copyright notices, and the license notice saying this License applies to the Document are reproduced in all copies, and that you add no other conditions whatsoever to those of this License. You may not use technical measures to obstruct or control the reading or further copying of the copies you make or distribute. However, you may accept compensation in exchange for copies. If you distribute a large enough number of copies you must also follow the conditions in section 3.

You may also lend copies, under the same conditions stated above, and you may publicly display copies.

If you publish printed copies (or copies in media that commonly have printed covers) of the Document, numbering more than 100, and the Document's license notice requires Cover Texts, you must enclose the copies in covers that carry, clearly and legibly, all these Cover Texts: Front-Cover Texts on the front cover, and Back-Cover Texts on the back cover. Both covers must also clearly and legibly identify you as the publisher of these copies. The front cover must present the full title with all words of the title equally prominent and visible. You may add other material on the covers in addition. Copying with changes limited to the covers, as long as they preserve the title of the Document and satisfy these conditions, can be treated as verbatim copying in other respects.

If the required texts for either cover are too voluminous to fit legibly, you should put the first ones listed (as many as fit reasonably) on the actual cover, and continue the rest onto adjacent pages.

If you publish or distribute Opaque copies of the Document numbering more than 100, you must either include a machine-readable Transparent copy along with each Opaque copy, or state in or with each Opaque copy a computer-network location from which the general network-using public has access to download using public-standard network protocols a complete Transparent copy of the Document, free of added material. If you use the latter option, you must take reasonably prudent steps, when you begin distribution of Opaque copies in quantity, to ensure that this Transparent copy will remain thus accessible at the stated location until at least one year after the last time you distribute an Opaque copy (directly or through your agents or retailers) of that edition to the public.

It is requested, but not required, that you contact the authors of the Document well before redistributing any large number of copies, to give them a chance to provide you with an updated version of the Document.

You may copy and distribute a Modified Version of the Document under the conditions of sections 2 and 3 above, provided that you release the Modified Version under precisely this License, with the Modified Version filling the role of the Document, thus licensing distribution and modification of the Modified Version to whoever possesses a copy of it. In addition, you must do these things in the Modified Version:

  1. Use in the Title Page (and on the covers, if any) a title distinct from that of the Document, and from those of previous versions (which should, if there were any, be listed in the History section of the Document). You may use the same title as a previous version if the original publisher of that version gives permission.

  2. List on the Title Page, as authors, one or more persons or entities responsible for authorship of the modifications in the Modified Version, together with at least five of the principal authors of the Document (all of its principal authors, if it has fewer than five), unless they release you from this requirement.

  3. State on the Title page the name of the publisher of the Modified Version, as the publisher.

  4. Preserve all the copyright notices of the Document.

  5. Add an appropriate copyright notice for your modifications adjacent to the other copyright notices.

  6. Include, immediately after the copyright notices, a license notice giving the public permission to use the Modified Version under the terms of this License, in the form shown in the Addendum below.

  7. Preserve in that license notice the full lists of Invariant Sections and required Cover Texts given in the Document's license notice.

  8. Include an unaltered copy of this License.

  9. Preserve the section Entitled "History", Preserve its Title, and add to it an item stating at least the title, year, new authors, and publisher of the Modified Version as given on the Title Page. If there is no section Entitled "History" in the Document, create one stating the title, year, authors, and publisher of the Document as given on its Title Page, then add an item describing the Modified Version as stated in the previous sentence.

  10. Preserve the network location, if any, given in the Document for public access to a Transparent copy of the Document, and likewise the network locations given in the Document for previous versions it was based on. These may be placed in the "History" section. You may omit a network location for a work that was published at least four years before the Document itself, or if the original publisher of the version it refers to gives permission.

  11. For any section Entitled "Acknowledgements" or "Dedications", Preserve the Title of the section, and preserve in the section all the substance and tone of each of the contributor acknowledgements and/or dedications given therein.

  12. Preserve all the Invariant Sections of the Document, unaltered in their text and in their titles. Section numbers or the equivalent are not considered part of the section titles.

  13. Delete any section Entitled "Endorsements". Such a section may not be included in the Modified Version.

  14. Do not retitle any existing section to be Entitled "Endorsements" or to conflict in title with any Invariant Section.

  15. Preserve any Warranty Disclaimers.

If the Modified Version includes new front-matter sections or appendices that qualify as Secondary Sections and contain no material copied from the Document, you may at your option designate some or all of these sections as invariant. To do this, add their titles to the list of Invariant Sections in the Modified Version's license notice. These titles must be distinct from any other section titles.

You may add a section Entitled "Endorsements", provided it contains nothing but endorsements of your Modified Version by various parties--for example, statements of peer review or that the text has been approved by an organization as the authoritative definition of a standard.

You may add a passage of up to five words as a Front-Cover Text, and a passage of up to 25 words as a Back-Cover Text, to the end of the list of Cover Texts in the Modified Version. Only one passage of Front-Cover Text and one of Back-Cover Text may be added by (or through arrangements made by) any one entity. If the Document already includes a cover text for the same cover, previously added by you or by arrangement made by the same entity you are acting on behalf of, you may not add another; but you may replace the old one, on explicit permission from the previous publisher that added the old one.

The author(s) and publisher(s) of the Document do not by this License give permission to use their names for publicity for or to assert or imply endorsement of any Modified Version.

You may combine the Document with other documents released under this License, under the terms defined in section 4 above for modified versions, provided that you include in the combination all of the Invariant Sections of all of the original documents, unmodified, and list them all as Invariant Sections of your combined work in its license notice, and that you preserve all their Warranty Disclaimers.

The combined work need only contain one copy of this License, and multiple identical Invariant Sections may be replaced with a single copy. If there are multiple Invariant Sections with the same name but different contents, make the title of each such section unique by adding at the end of it, in parentheses, the name of the original author or publisher of that section if known, or else a unique number. Make the same adjustment to the section titles in the list of Invariant Sections in the license notice of the combined work.

In the combination, you must combine any sections Entitled "History" in the various original documents, forming one section Entitled "History"; likewise combine any sections Entitled "Acknowledgements", and any sections Entitled "Dedications". You must delete all sections Entitled "Endorsements".

You may make a collection consisting of the Document and other documents released under this License, and replace the individual copies of this License in the various documents with a single copy that is included in the collection, provided that you follow the rules of this License for verbatim copying of each of the documents in all other respects.

You may extract a single document from such a collection, and distribute it individually under this License, provided you insert a copy of this License into the extracted document, and follow this License in all other respects regarding verbatim copying of that document.

A compilation of the Document or its derivatives with other separate and independent documents or works, in or on a volume of a storage or distribution medium, is called an "aggregate" if the copyright resulting from the compilation is not used to limit the legal rights of the compilation's users beyond what the individual works permit. When the Document is included in an aggregate, this License does not apply to the other works in the aggregate which are not themselves derivative works of the Document.

If the Cover Text requirement of section 3 is applicable to these copies of the Document, then if the Document is less than one half of the entire aggregate, the Document's Cover Texts may be placed on covers that bracket the Document within the aggregate, or the electronic equivalent of covers if the Document is in electronic form. Otherwise they must appear on printed covers that bracket the whole aggregate.

Translation is considered a kind of modification, so you may distribute translations of the Document under the terms of section 4. Replacing Invariant Sections with translations requires special permission from their copyright holders, but you may include translations of some or all Invariant Sections in addition to the original versions of these Invariant Sections. You may include a translation of this License, and all the license notices in the Document, and any Warranty Disclaimers, provided that you also include the original English version of this License and the original versions of those notices and disclaimers. In case of a disagreement between the translation and the original version of this License or a notice or disclaimer, the original version will prevail.

If a section in the Document is Entitled "Acknowledgements", "Dedications", or "History", the requirement (section 4) to Preserve its Title (section 1) will typically require changing the actual title.

You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Document except as expressly provided for under this License. Any other attempt to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Document is void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License. However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such parties remain in full compliance.

The Free Software Foundation may publish new, revised versions of the GNU Free Documentation License from time to time. Such new versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to address new problems or concerns. See http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/.

Each version of the License is given a distinguishing version number. If the Document specifies that a particular numbered version of this License "or any later version" applies to it, you have the option of following the terms and conditions either of that specified version or of any later version that has been published (not as a draft) by the Free Software Foundation. If the Document does not specify a version number of this License, you may choose any version ever published (not as a draft) by the Free Software Foundation.

Copyright (c) YEAR YOUR NAME.
Permission is granted to copy, distribute and/or modify this document
under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License, Version 1.2
or any later version published by the Free Software Foundation;
with no Invariant Sections, no Front-Cover Texts, and no Back-Cover Texts.
A copy of the license is included in the section entitled “GNU
Free Documentation License”.

If you have Invariant Sections, Front-Cover Texts and Back-Cover Texts, replace the “with...Texts.” line with this:

with the Invariant Sections being LIST THEIR TITLES, with the
Front-Cover Texts being LIST, and with the Back-Cover Texts being LIST.

If you have Invariant Sections without Cover Texts, or some other combination of the three, merge those two alternatives to suit the situation.

If your document contains nontrivial examples of program code, we recommend releasing these examples in parallel under your choice of free software license, such as the GNU General Public License, to permit their use in free software.
