The Sawtooth Consulting Ltd. Exception for Free/Libre and Open Source Software-only Applications Using yaSSL Libraries (the "FLOSS Exception"). Version 0.1, June 26, 2006 Exception IntentWe want specified Free/Libre and Open Source Software ("FLOSS") applications to be able to use specified GPL-licensed yaSSL libraries (the "Program") despite the fact that not all FLOSS licenses are compatible with version 2 of the GNU General Public License (the "GPL"). Legal Terms and ConditionsAs a special exception to the terms and conditions of version 2.0 of the GPL: You are free to distribute a Derivative Work that is formed entirely from the Program and one or more works (each, a "FLOSS Work") licensed under one or more of the licenses listed below in section 1, as long as:
If the above conditions are not met, then the Program may only be copied, modified, distributed or used under the terms and conditions of the GPL or another valid licensing option from Sawtooth Consulting Ltd. 1. FLOSS License List
Due to the many variants of some of the above licenses, we require that any version follow the 2003 version of the Free Software Foundation's Free Software Definition (http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html) or version 1.9 of the Open Source Definition by the Open Source Initiative (http://www.opensource.org/docs/definition.php). 2. Definitions
3. ApplicabilityThis FLOSS Exception applies to all Programs that contain a notice placed by Sawtooth Consulting Ltd. saying that the Program may be distributed under the terms of this FLOSS Exception. If you create or distribute a work which is a Derivative Work of both the Program and any other work licensed under the GPL, then this FLOSS Exception is not available for that work; thus, you must remove the FLOSS Exception notice from that work and comply with the GPL in all respects, including by retaining all GPL notices. You may choose to redistribute a copy of the Program exclusively under the terms of the GPL by removing the FLOSS Exception notice from that copy of the Program, provided that the copy has never been modified by you or any third party. |
