Licenses for the BACnet Stack at SourceForge
|
|
|
|
This BACnet protocol stack implementation is specifically
|
|
designed for the embedded BACnet appliance, using a GPL with
|
|
exception license (like eCos), which means that any changes
|
|
to the core code that are distributed must be made available
|
|
in accordance with section (3) of the GNU General Public License.
|
|
However, the BACnet library can be linked to proprietary code
|
|
without the proprietary code becoming GPL.
|
|
|
|
The text of the GPL exception included in each source file
|
|
is as follows:
|
|
|
|
"As a special exception, if other files instantiate
|
|
templates or use macros or inline functions from
|
|
this file, or you compile this file and link it
|
|
with other works to produce a work based on this file,
|
|
this file does not by itself cause the resulting work
|
|
to be covered by the GNU General Public License.
|
|
However the source code for this file must still be
|
|
made available in accordance with section (3) of the
|
|
GNU General Public License."
|
|
|
|
Each file that is subject to the GPL uses the following text comment
|
|
at the top of the file:
|
|
