STREAMS SS7 Stack -
By nature of the fact that the LiS STREAMS package upon which this version
is built permits releasing proprietary libraries, I have upgraded the
license on this version to the GNU General Public License Version
2. Again, the copyright holder(s) (author(s)) reserve all rights.
The copyrights on OpenSS7 STREAMS SS7 Stack are held by
OpenSS7 Corporation.
If you are interested in licensing terms which are different from the GPL
Version 2 license, please see our
Licensing Terms page and the home
page of OpenSS7 Corporation.
Otherwise, modifications and applications linked to the OpenSS7 STREAMS
SS7 Stack are licensed under the GNU Public License Version 2 by nature
of the GPL licensing on the primary work.
Test Programs -
The OpenSS7 test programs used to test the OpenSS7 stack are licensed
under different terms than the GPL. These programs are only provided to
demonstrated the usability, conformance and stability of the OpenSS7
stack and may not be distributed, modified or copied in any way. These
programs are the property of
OpenSS7 Corporation.
Contributed test programs are the property of the respective copyright
holders.
Linux Kernel Version -
The OpenSS7 Linux Kernel stack is licensed under the terms of the
GNU General Public License Version 2.
However, the copyright holder (author) reserves all rights. This means
that if you are interested in licensing terms which are different from the
GPL Version 2 license, you are free to discuss this with the copyright
holders on the original works. Modifications to the OpenSS7 Linux Kernel
stack are licensed under the GNU General Public License Version 2 by
nature of the GPL licensing of the primary work. For other licensing
terms on modifications to the OpenSS7 stack, please contact the respective
copyright holders.
Nothing in the GPL Version 2 licensing of the Linux kernel version of the
SS7 stack should be construed as a restriction on its use by commercial
applications. Just because the Linux Kernel version (sockets) stack is
GPL'ed does not mean that applications which use the OpenSS7 stack are
necessarily opensource or freely available to the public.
Be careful that you do not confuse the Linux Kernel (sockets) version,
which is now deprecated, with the STREAMS version which does not permit
proprietary programs to be linked without separate licensing.
