Hyperic FLOSS License Exception
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The Hyperic Exception for Free/Libre and Open Source
|
||||||
|
Software-only Applications Using Hyperic SIGAR Libraries (the
|
||||||
|
"FLOSS Exception").
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Version 0.1, September 6, 2008
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Exception Intent
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
We want specified Free/Libre and Open Source Software (``FLOSS'')
|
||||||
|
applications to be able to use specified GPL-licensed Hyperic SIGAR
|
||||||
|
libraries (the ``Program'') despite the fact that not all FLOSS
|
||||||
|
licenses are compatible with version 2 of the GNU General Public
|
||||||
|
License (the ``GPL'').
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Legal Terms and Conditions
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
As a special exception to the terms and conditions of version 2.0
|
||||||
|
of the GPL:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
1. You are free to distribute a Derivative Work that is formed
|
||||||
|
entirely from the Program and one or more works (each, a
|
||||||
|
"FLOSS Work") licensed under one or more of the licenses
|
||||||
|
listed below in section 1, as long as:
|
||||||
|
a. You obey the GPL in all respects for the Program and the
|
||||||
|
Derivative Work, except for identifiable sections of the
|
||||||
|
Derivative Work which are not derived from the Program,
|
||||||
|
and which can reasonably be considered independent and
|
||||||
|
separate works in themselves,
|
||||||
|
b. all identifiable sections of the Derivative Work which
|
||||||
|
are not derived from the Program, and which can
|
||||||
|
reasonably be considered independent and separate works
|
||||||
|
in themselves,
|
||||||
|
i. are distributed subject to one of the FLOSS licenses
|
||||||
|
listed below, and
|
||||||
|
ii. the object code or executable form of those sections
|
||||||
|
are accompanied by the complete corresponding
|
||||||
|
machine-readable source code for those sections on
|
||||||
|
the same medium and under the same FLOSS license as
|
||||||
|
the corresponding object code or executable forms of
|
||||||
|
those sections, and
|
||||||
|
c. any works which are aggregated with the Program or with a
|
||||||
|
Derivative Work on a volume of a storage or distribution
|
||||||
|
medium in accordance with the GPL, can reasonably be
|
||||||
|
considered independent and separate works in themselves
|
||||||
|
which are not derivatives of either the Program, a
|
||||||
|
Derivative Work or a FLOSS Work.
|
||||||
|
If the above conditions are not met, then the Program may only
|
||||||
|
be copied, modified, distributed or used under the terms and
|
||||||
|
conditions of the GPL or another valid licensing option from
|
||||||
|
Hyperic, Inc.

||||||

2. FLOSS License List

|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Due to the many variants of some of the above licenses, we
|
||||||
|
require that any version follow the 2003 version of the Free
|
||||||
|
Software Foundation's Free Software Definition
|
||||||
|
(http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html) or version 1.9 of

(http://www.opensource.org/docs/definition.php).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
3. Definitions
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
a. Terms used, but not defined, herein shall have the
|
||||||
|
meaning provided in the GPL.
|
||||||
|
b. Derivative Work means a derivative work under copyright
|
||||||
|
law.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
4. Applicability: This FLOSS Exception applies to all Programs
|
||||||
|
that contain a notice placed by Hyperic, Inc. saying that the
|
||||||
|
Program may be distributed under the terms of this FLOSS
|
||||||
|
Exception. If you create or distribute a work which is a
|
||||||
|
Derivative Work of both the Program and any other work
|
||||||
|
licensed under the GPL, then this FLOSS Exception is not
|
||||||
|
available for that work; thus, you must remove the FLOSS
|
||||||
|
Exception notice from that work and comply with the GPL in all
|
||||||
|
respects, including by retaining all GPL notices. You may
|
||||||
|
choose to redistribute a copy of the Program exclusively under
|
||||||
|
the terms of the GPL by removing the FLOSS Exception notice
|
||||||
|
from that copy of the Program, provided that the copy has
|
||||||
|
never been modified by you or any third party.

The following is a non-exhaustive list of libraries and packages
|

which are covered by the FLOSS License Exception. Please note that

this appendix is provided merely as an additional service to

|
specific FLOSS projects wishing to simplify licensing information
