Contributions to hostap.git
---------------------------
This software is distributed under a permissive open source license to
allow it to be used in any projects, whether open source or proprietary.
Contributions to the project are welcome and it is important to maintain
clear record of contributions and terms under which they are licensed.
To help with this, following procedure is used to allow acceptance and
recording of the terms.
All contributions are expected to be licensed under the modified BSD
license (see below). Acknowledgment of the terms is tracked through
inclusion of Signed-off-by tag in the contributions at the end of the
commit log message. This tag indicates that the contributor agrees with
the Developer Certificate of Origin (DCO) version 1.1 terms (see below;
also available from http://developercertificate.org/).
The current requirements for contributions to hostap.git
--------------------------------------------------------
To indicate your acceptance of Developer's Certificate of Origin 1.1
terms, please add the following line to the end of the commit message
for each contribution you make to the project:
Signed-off-by: Your Name <[email protected]>
using your real name. Pseudonyms or anonymous contributions cannot
unfortunately be accepted.
History of license and contributions terms
------------------------------------------
Until February 11, 2012, in case of most files in hostap.git, "under the
open source license indicated in the file" means that the contribution
is licensed both under GPL v2 and modified BSD license (see below) and
the choice between these licenses is given to anyone who redistributes
or uses the software. As such, the contribution has to be licensed under
both options to allow this choice.
As of February 11, 2012, the project has chosen to use only the BSD
license option for future distribution. As such, the GPL v2 license
option is no longer used and the contributions are not required to be
licensed until GPL v2. In case of most files in hostap.git, "under the
open source license indicated in the file" means that the contribution
is licensed under the modified BSD license (see below).
Until February 13, 2014, the project used an extended version of the DCO
that included the identical items (a) through (d) from DCO 1.1 and an
additional item (e):
(e) The contribution can be licensed under the modified BSD license
as shown below even in case of files that are currently licensed
under other terms.
This was used during the period when some of the files included the old
license terms. Acceptance of this extended DCO version was indicated
with a Signed-hostap tag in the commit message. This additional item (e)
was used to collect explicit approval to license the contribution with
only the modified BSD license (see below), i.e., without the GPL v2
option. This was done to allow simpler licensing terms to be used in the
future. It should be noted that the modified BSD license is compatible
with GNU GPL and as such, this possible move to simpler licensing option
does not prevent use of this software in GPL projects.
