Updated version: /* DUAL LICENSING (1) This Work is licensed under LGPL 2.0. You have the right to use and modify this Work, as long as you publish your changes to the Work. (2) This Work is also licensed as a proprietary work, all rights belonging to Traversal Technology. Traversal Technology may use this Work under those terms and has the right to publish, license, and sell this Work and derivative works as they see fit. To remove these rights, you must remove this clause. (3) Use of this work without clause (2) forfeits the right to use any trademarks owned by Traversal Technology, the Open Graphics Project, or related organizations. (4) Patches, modifications, and extensions ("patches") to this Work that are submitted to the Open Graphics Project, the Open Graphics Mailing List, directly to Traversal Technology must be SIGNED by the author of said patch, granting Traversal Technology "rights to use" under clause (2), as well as clause (1). Unsigned patches will be ignored. (5) Patches [see (4)] committed directly to an officially recognized source code repository are signed implicitly. Those who have write access to such a repository and who commit patches to that repository grant Traversal Technology under clause (2), as well as clause (1), by virtue of having write access and choosing to submit patches. (6) It is the responsibility of the submitter of a patch to ensure that they have the right to do so and that they have necessary permissions from any other contributors or third parties. (7) Traversal Technology does not require an exclusive license to you work. You retain the right to use the contents of your patches, and you may retain copyright to your patches. Sections (1) through (6) still apply. For special situations, you are encouraged to add comments to the "contributions" section of this Work, indicating the nature of your patch. */ _______________________________________________ Open-graphics mailing list [email protected] http://lists.duskglow.com/mailman/listinfo/open-graphics List service provided by Duskglow Consulting, LLC (www.duskglow.com)
