You will find that this +license provides noncommercial users of OMNeT++ with rights that are +similar to the well-known GNU General Public License, yet it retains the +possibility for OMNeT++ authors to financially support the development +by selling commercial licenses. In fact, if you intend to use OMNeT++ +in a "for-profit" environment, where research is conducted to develop +or enhance a product, or it is used in a commercial service offering, +then you need to obtain a commercial license for OMNeT++ which is also +available from the Author. + + What are the rights given to noncommercial users? Similarly to GPL, you +have the right to use the software, to distribute copies, to receive source +code, to change the software and distribute your modifications or the +modified software. Also similarly to the GPL, if you distribute verbatim or +modified copies of this software, they must be distributed under this +license. + + By modeling the GPL, this license guarantees that you're safe when using +OMNeT++ in your work, for teaching or research. This license guarantees +that OMNeT++ will remain available free of charge for nonprofit use. You +can modify OMNeT++ to your purposes, and you can also share your modifications. +Even in the unlikely case of the authors abandoning OMNeT++ entirely, this +license permits anyone to continue developing it from the last release, and +to create further releases under this license. + + We believe that the combination of noncommercial open-source and commercial +licensing will be beneficial for the whole user community, because income from +commercial licenses will enable faster development and a higher level of +software quality, while further enjoying the informal, open communication +and collaboration channels of open source development. + + The precise terms and conditions for using, copying, distribution and +modification follow. + + + ACADEMIC PUBLIC LICENSE + + TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR USE, COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION + + 0. Definitions + + "Program" means a copy of OMNeT++, which is said to be distributed under +this Academic Public License. + + "Work based on the Program" means either the Program or any derivative work +under copyright law: that is to say, a work containing the Program or a +portion of it, either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated into +another language. (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation +in the term "modification".) + + "Using the Program" means any act of creating executables that contain or +directly use libraries that are part of the Program, running any of the +tools that are part of the Program, or creating works based on the Program. + +Each licensee is addressed as "you". + + 1. Permission is hereby granted to use the Program free of charge for any +noncommercial purpose, including teaching and research at universities, +colleges and other educational institutions, research at non-profit +research institutions, and personal non-profit purposes. For using the +Program for commercial purposes, including but not restricted to consulting +activities and design of commercial hardware or software networking +products, you have to contact the Author for an appropriate license. +Permission is also granted to use the Program for a reasonably limited +period of time for the purpose of evaluating its usefulness for a +particular purpose. + + 2. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's +source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you +conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate +copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the +notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty; +and give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License +along with the Program. + + 3. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion +of it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and +distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 2 +above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions: + + a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices + stating that you changed the files and the date of any change. + + b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in + whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any + part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third + parties under the terms of this License. + +These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If +identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Program, +and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in +themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those +sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you +distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based +on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of +this License, whose regulations for other licensees extend to the +entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it. +(If the same, independent sections are distributed as part of a package +that is otherwise reliant on, or is based on the Program, then the +distribution of the whole package, including but not restricted to the +independent section, must be on the unmodified terms of this License, +regadless of who the author of the included sections was.) + +Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest +your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to +exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or +collective works based or reliant on the Program. + +In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program +with the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of +storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under +the scope of this License. + + 4. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it, +under Section 3) in object code or executable form under the terms of +Sections 2 and 3 above provided that you also do one of the following: + + a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable + source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections + 2 and 3 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or, + + b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three + years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your + cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete + machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be + distributed under the terms of Sections 2 and 3 above on a medium + customarily used for software interchange; or, + + c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer + to distribute corresponding source code. (This alternative is + allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you received + the program in object code or executable form with such an offer, + in accord with Subsection b) above.) + +The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for +making modifications to it. For an executable work, complete source +code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any +associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to +control compilation and installation of the executable. However, as a +special exception, the source code distributed need not include +anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary +form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the +operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component +itself accompanies the executable. + +If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering +access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent +access to copy the source code from the same place counts as +distribution of the source code, even though third parties are not +compelled to copy the source along with the object code. + + 5. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program +except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt +otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is +void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License. +However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under +this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such +parties remain in full compliance. + + 6. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not +signed it. Nothing else grants you permission to modify or distribute +the Program or its derivative works; law prohibits these actions +if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by modifying or distributing +the Program (or any work based on the Program), you indicate your +acceptance of this License and all its terms and conditions for copying, +distributing or modifying the Program or works based on it, to do so. + + 7. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the +Program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the +original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to +these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further +restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein. +You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to +this License. + + 8. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent +infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues), +conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or +otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not +excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot +distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this +License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you +may not distribute the Program at all. For example, if a patent +license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by +all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then +the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to +refrain entirely from distribution of the Program. + +If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under +any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to +apply and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other +circumstances. + + 9. If the distribution and/or use of the Program are restricted in +certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the +original copyright holder who places the Program under this License +may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding +those countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among +countries not thus excluded. In such case, this License incorporates +the limitation as if written in the body of this License. + + NO WARRANTY + + 10. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY +FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN +OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES +PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED +OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF +MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS +TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE +PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, +REPAIR OR CORRECTION. + + 11. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED ON IN WRITING +WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR +REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, +INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING +OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED +TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY +YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER +PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE +POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. + + END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS + + |
