<h1>Content License</h1>
|
|
|
|
<p>For the purposes of licensing, the content of this site is divided
|
|
into two categories:</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Documentation content, found under the "Dev Guide" and "Reference"
|
|
tabs, including both static content and content extracted from source
|
|
code modules, as well as sample code, and </li>
|
|
<li>All other site content</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<p>The documentation content on this site is made available to
|
|
you as part of the <a href="http://source.android.com">Android Open
|
|
Source Project</a>. This documentation, including any code shown in it,
|
|
is licensed under the <a

|
|
|
|
<p>Apache 2.0 is a commercial and open-source-friendly software
|
|
license. The majority of the Android platform and documentation is
|
|
licensed under the Apache 2.0 license. While the project strives to
|
|
adhere to the preferred license, there may be exceptions, such as for
|
|
documentation (code comments) extracted from a source code module that
|
|
is licensed under GPLv2 or other license. In those cases, the license
|
|
covering the source code module will apply to the documentation
|
|
extracted from it. </p>

<h3 id="terms">Terms of Use</h3>

<h3 id="attribution">Attribution</h3>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Proper attribution is required when you reuse or create modified
|
|
versions of content that appears on a page made available under the
|
|
terms of the Creative Commons Attribution license. On this site, the
|
|
requirement for attribution applies only to the non-documentation
|
|
content, as described earlier in this document. The complete
|
|
requirements for attribution can be found in section 4b of the
|
|
<a href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.5/legalcode">
|
|
Creative Commons legal code</a>.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
In practice we ask that you provide attribution to the Android Open
|
|
Source project to the best of the ability of the medium in which you
|
|
are producing the work. There are several typical ways in which this
|
|
might apply:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<h4>Exact Reproductions</h4>
|
|
<p>
|
|
If your online work <em>exactly reproduces</em> text or images from this
|
|
site, in whole or in part, please include a paragraph at the bottom
|
|
of your page that reads:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<blockquote>
|
|
Portions of this page are reproduced from work created and <a
|
|
href="http://code.google.com/policies.html">shared by the Android Open Source Project</a>
|
|
and used according to terms described in the <a
|
|
href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.5/">Creative Commons
|
|
2.5 Attribution License</a>.
|
|
|
|
</blockquote>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Also, please link back to the original source page so that readers can
|
|
refer there for more information.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<h4>Modified Versions</h4>
|
|
<p>
|
|
If your online work shows <em>modified</em> text or images based on
|
|
the content from this site, please include a paragraph at the bottom of
|
|
your page that reads:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<blockquote>
|
|
Portions of this page are modifications based on work created and <a
|
|
href="http://code.google.com/policies.html">shared by the Android Open
|
|
Source Project</a> and used according to terms described in the <a
|
|
href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.5/">Creative Commons
|
|
2.5 Attribution License</a>.
|
|
</blockquote>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Again, please link back to the original source page so that readers can
|
|
refer there for more information. This is even more important when
|
|
the content has been modified.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<h4>Other Media</h4>
|
|
<p>
|
|
If you produce non-hypertext works, such as books, audio, or
|
|
video, we ask that you make a best effort to include a spoken or
|
|
written attribution in the spirit of the messages above.
