Contributions to hostap.git
|
||
|
|
---------------------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This software is distributed under a permissive open source license to
|
||
|
|
allow it to be used in any projects, whether open source or proprietary.
|
||
|
|
Contributions to the project are welcome and it is important to maintain
|
||
|
|
clear record of contributions and terms under which they are licensed.
|
||
|
|
To help with this, following procedure is used to allow acceptance and
|
||
|
|
recording of the terms.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
These terms are similar to the process used in Linux kernel development.
|
||
|
|
The items (a) through (d) are identical to the Developer's Certificate
|
||
|
|
of Origin 1.1. To enable cleaner licensing option to be provided in the
|
||
|
|
future, an additional item (e) is included.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Until February 11, 2012, in case of most files in hostap.git, "under the
|
||
|
|
open source license indicated in the file" means that the contribution
|
||
|
|
is licensed both under GPL v2 and modified BSD license (see below) and
|
||
|
|
the choice between these licenses is given to anyone who redistributes
|
||
|
|
or uses the software. As such, the contribution has to be licensed under
|
||
|
|
both options to allow this choice.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
As of February 11, 2012, the project has chosen to use only the BSD
|
||
|
|
license option for future distribution. As such, the GPL v2 license
|
||
|
|
option is no longer used and the contributions are not required to be
|
||
|
|
licensed until GPL v2. In case of most files in hostap.git, "under the
|
||
|
|
open source license indicated in the file" means that the contribution
|
||
|
|
is licensed under the modified BSD license (see below).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The additional item (e) is used to collect explicit approval to license
|
||
|
|
the contribution with only the modified BSD license (see below), i.e.,
|
||
|
|
without the GPL v2 option. This was done to allow simpler licensing
|
||
|
|
terms to be used in the future. It should be noted that the modified BSD
|
||
|
|
license is compatible with GNU GPL and as such, this possible move to
|
||
|
|
simpler licensing option does not prevent use of this software in
|
||
|
|
GPL projects.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
By making a contribution to this project, I certify that:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
(a) The contribution was created in whole or in part by me and I
|
||
|
|
have the right to submit it under the open source license
|
||
|
|
indicated in the file; or
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
(b) The contribution is based upon previous work that, to the best
|
||
|
|
of my knowledge, is covered under an appropriate open source
|
||
|
|
license and I have the right under that license to submit that
|
||
|
|
work with modifications, whether created in whole or in part
|
||
|
|
by me, under the same open source license (unless I am
|
||
|
|
permitted to submit under a different license), as indicated
|
||
|
|
in the file; or
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
(c) The contribution was provided directly to me by some other
|
||
|
|
person who certified (a), (b) or (c) and I have not modified
|
||
|
|
it.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
(d) I understand and agree that this project and the contribution
|
||
|
|
are public and that a record of the contribution (including all
|
||
|
|
personal information I submit with it, including my sign-off) is
|
||
|
|
maintained indefinitely and may be redistributed consistent with
|
||
|
|
this project or the open source license(s) involved.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Additionally, I certify that:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
(e) The contribution can be licensed under the modified BSD license
|
||
|
|
as shown below even in case of files that are currently licensed
|
||
|
|
under other terms.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To indicate your acceptance of these terms, please add the following
|
||
