Intent + +The intent of this License Exception is to allow the CodeCompass software +to use ODB without the "copyleft" restrictions that would normally be +imposed by the GPL, the license under which ODB is distributed. + +Specifically, the intent is to allow you to use the original CodeCompass +software in your open source or proprietary works without imposing +any additional restrictions to the terms and conditions of the +BSD license used by CodeCompass. + +If you wish to modify the CodeCompass software in such a way that it requires +changes to the persistent object model handled by ODB, you can continue +enjoying the terms of this exception provided that you are prepared to +release your modifications under BSD or another open source license +and you obtain a separate license exception for your modifications from +Code Synthesis Tools CC. + +While this exception is specific to CodeCompass, any open source software +project licensed under a more liberal than the GPL license can obtain +a similar exception free of charge by contacting Code Synthesis Tools CC. + +2. Definitions + +"Original Software" is the CodeCompass software, Copyright (c) Ericsson, +distributed under the terms of the BSD license, and available to +any third party from: + + https://github.com/Ericsson/CodeCompass + +"ODB-Extended Software" are any modifications to the Original Software +that require additions or changes to the persistent object model of +the Original Software that is handled by ODB. + +"Work Based on the Original Software" is any derivative work under the +copyright law that is either based on the Original Software or any +modified version of the Original Software that does not constitute +ODB-Extended Software. + +"Work Based on the ODB-Extended Software" is any derivative work under +the copyright law that is based on any modified version of the Original +Software that constitutes ODB-Extended Software. + +3. Legal Terms and Conditions + +As a special exception to the terms and conditions of version 2 of the +GPL you may use the ODB runtime libraries in Original Software and in +Works Based on the Original Software and distribute the resulting works +in object code or executable form and without making source code for +such works available to any third party, provided that all of the +following conditions are met: + + a) Original Software was licensed as a whole at no charge to all third + parties under the terms of the BSD license. + + b) The ODB runtime libraries in Works Based on the Original Software + are used solely for the purpose of supporting the functionality of + the Original Software. + +The same exception does not apply automatically to ODB-Extended Software +or Works Based on the ODB-Extended Software. If you wish to enjoy this +exception for such works, then you will need to license ODB-Extended +Software at no charge to all third parties under the terms of the BSD +license or another open source license. You will also need to obtain a +separate License Exception for ODB-Extended Software from Code Synthesis +Tools CC. |
