|
|
+---------------------------
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+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.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+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.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+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 is 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
|
|
|
