"MINIX is an operating system designed for 'resource limited' or embedded computer systems. Versions 1 and 2 were teaching operating systems upon which the famous book, Operating Systems Design and Implementation, by Andrew S Tanenbaum and Albert S Woodhull, is based and also was the inspiration for Linux. With this latest release, version 3, MINIX aims to be a complete, stable, secure desktop operating system for everyday use. Does it live up to those claims? Read on to find out."

Nope. No "Copyleft, Copyright, CopyUp or Copydown" license here. lol.
It's a plain *BSD style license.
Look at it like a "Less Strings Attached" license.

To attribute the authors name is a law in most of the countries apart from USA. While attributing the authors name you show respect too.
