| 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. | |
