- 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
- line to each contribution you make to the project:
- Signed-hostap: Your Name <your@email.example.org>
- using your real name. Pseudonyms or anonymous contributions cannot
- unfortunately be accepted.
