Hi Hemanth, First, I am not an attorney so I cannot answer your questions. You have the copyright file (or can get a copy), so you will have to make your own determination of compatibility, or consult an attorney.
Second, OpenHPI has many authors who have contributed to the code over the years. The license cannot be changed without the agreement of each and every author. You are welcome to try to contact everyone, but I don't believe that will be possible. Last, if you intend to continue this conversation with the OpenHPI group on the openhpi-devel mailing list, please join the list. Posts from non-members are moderated to avoid spam. Good luck, Bryan Sutula On Thu, 2011-05-26 at 14:40 +0800, KS HEMANTH KUMAR-DMFG47 wrote: > Hi Bryan, > > In the below link you have provided the "Copyright File" mentions about > GPLv2 also under other Copyrights , > > So please clarify me whether openHPI comes under GPLv2 Licensing also. > > Since Original BSD type mentions need not be compatible to GPLv2 and > GPLv3, > > And Modified BSD Type mentions as must be compatible to GPLv2 and GPLv3, > > I wanted to make sure under which BSD type licensing does the openHPI > comes under. > > Thanks & Regards, > Hemanth > > > > -----Original Message----- > From: Bryan Sutula [mailto:[email protected]] > Sent: Wednesday, May 25, 2011 9:08 PM > To: [email protected]; KS HEMANTH KUMAR-DMFG47 > Subject: Re: [Openhpi-devel] Query on License type of OpenHPI > > On Wed, 2011-05-25 at 17:56 +0800, KS HEMANTH KUMAR-DMFG47 wrote: > > > I would like to know which BSD license does OpenHPI comes under... > > OpenHPI is under a BSD-style license.
