FLOSS License Exception v2.0
|
|
20 October 2007
|
|
|
|
The DBSQL Exception for Free/Libre and Open Source Software-only Applications
|
|
using DBSQL libraries and related resources (the "FLOSS Exception").
|
|
|
|
Exception Intent
|
|
|
|
We want specified Free/Libre and Open Source Software ("FLOSS") applications
|
|
to be able to use specified GPL-licensed DBSQL client libraries (the "Program")
|
|
despite the fact that not all FLOSS licenses are compatible with version 3 of
|
|
the GNU General Public License (the "GPL").
|
|
|
|
Legal Terms and Conditions
|
|
|
|
As a special exception to the terms and conditions of version 3 or later 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:
|
|
|
|
1. You obey the GPL in all respects for the Program and the Derivative
|
|
Work, except for identifiable sections of the Derivative Work which
|
|
are not derived from the Program, and which can reasonably be considered
|
|
independent and separate works in themselves,
|
|
2. All identifiable sections of the Derivative Work which are not derived
|
|
from the Program, and which can reasonably be considered independent and
|
|
separate works in themselves,
|
|
1. are distributed subject to one of the FLOSS licenses listed below,
|
|
and
|
|
2. the object code or executable form of those sections are
|
|
accompanied by the complete corresponding machine-readable source
|
|
code for those sections on the same medium and under the same
|
|
FLOSS license as the corresponding object code or executable forms
|
|
of those sections, and
|
|
3. any works which are aggregated with the Program or with a
|
|
Derivative Work on a volume of a storage or distribution medium in
|
|
accordance with the GPL, can reasonably be considered independent
|
|
and separate works in themselves which are not derivatives of
|
|
either the Program, a Derivative Work or a FLOSS Work.
|
|
|
|
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 The DBSQL Group, Inc.

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

2. Definitions
|
|
1. Terms used, but not defined, herein shall have the meaning
|
|
provided in the GPL.
|
|
2. Derivative Work means a derivative work under copyright law.
|
|
|
|
3. Applicability
|
|
|
|
This FLOSS Exception applies to all Programs that contain a notice placed by
|
|
The DBSQL Group, Inc. 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.

Appendix A. Qualified Libraries and
|
|
|
|
The following is a a non-exhaustive list of libraries and packages which are
|
|
covered by the FLOSS License Exception. Please note that appendix is merely
|
|
provided as an additional service to specific FLOSS projects who wish to
|
|
simplify licensing information for their users. Compliance with one of the
|
|
licenses noted under the "FLOSS license list" section remains a prerequisite.
