With JSBSim, our situation is a little different, considering that we deal
with data and performance characteristics and not tangible, visual, IP
(logos, etc.). So, this is the disclaimer we ended up using:
This model was created using publicly available data,
publicly available technical reports, textbooks, and guesses. It contains no
proprietary or restricted data. It has been validated only to the extent
that it seems to "fly right", and possibly to comply to published, publicly
known, performance data (maximum speed, endurance, etc.). Thus, this model
is meant for educational and entertainment purposes only.
This simulation model is not endorsed by the manufacturer.
This model is not to be sold.
I think that last sentence maybe should have "for profit" tacked on the end,
and even that might still cause some heartburn within the OSS community. It
might also have a bearing on the Fli*ght Pr* S*m discussion. ;-)
I found Boeing's response to our query to be friendly and reasonable.
