Dear all, I am involved in a research project with a company generating Intellectual Property (IP). The research provider does not have any previous experience with NS2 and what they asked me to do is to find out if the licensing scheme is appropriate for their purpose (IP generation). Their concern is that usage of NS2 it might render the IP filling inappropriate.
As far as I understand the NS2 is distributed under a combination of Apache v2.0, GPL and BSD licenses (point taken from sourceforge) because the contributions made by different organizations. Every organization contributes its source code under its terms. My questions are * are these licenses IP friendly (suitable for IP generation)? * are these 3 licenses apply to the allinone package as a whole or the ns-2.29 itself?" * Is there an easy way to extract all the different licenses from the source code or is it summarized somewhere? Could someone point me to the right direction on where I can finding more information about this matter. Best regards, Christos Gavos
