I'm sure someone here in OFA can find the Right Someone to talk to in Microsoft for us. I think the questions / discussion will be pretty easy (IANAL and all that), but we might as well try to do the Right Thing before doing something that could unintentionally have some repercussions. - Is it ok if we commit these files to our repo (such that they will be publicly available to the world)? --> Doesn't matter if others are doing it. We need to ask if it's ok if *we* do it. - Are we allowed to edit those headers? - What license are those headers distributed under? - Is it ok if we distribute these files in our source packages (e.g., in the source tarball)? - Is it ok if we distribute binaries that call the APIs in these files? - ...(IANAL, I don't know what else to ask) My $0.02: it's worth asking this stuff in light of https://www.theverge.com/2018/3/27/17169064/federal-circuit-oracle-v-google-third-trial-java-android. -- Jeff Squyres [email protected] _______________________________________________ ofiwg mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openfabrics.org/mailman/listinfo/ofiwg
