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.
|
||||
|
||||
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
|
||||
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.
