Cisco Cisco IPICS Dispatch Console Información de licencia

For those not familiar with the GNU GPL, the license basically

allows you to:

 

  - Use the CUPS software at no charge.

  - Distribute verbatim copies of the software in source or

    binary form.

  - Sell verbatim copies of the software for a media fee, or

    sell support for the software.

 

What this license *does not* allow you to do is make changes or

add features to CUPS and then sell a binary distribution without

source code. You must provide source for any changes or additions

to the software, and all code must be provided under the GPL or

LGPL as appropriate. The only exceptions to this are the portions

of the CUPS software covered by the Apple operating system

license exceptions outlined later in this license agreement.

 

The GNU LGPL relaxes the "link-to" restriction, allowing you to

develop applications that use the CUPS and CUPS Imaging libraries

under other licenses and/or conditions as appropriate for your

application, driver, or filter.

 

 

LICENSE EXCEPTIONS

 

In addition, as the copyright holder of CUPS, Apple Inc. grants

the following special exceptions:

 

    1. Apple Operating System Development License Exception;

 

a. Software that is developed by any person or entity

   for an Apple Operating System ("Apple OS-Developed

   Software"), including but not limited to Apple and

   third party printer drivers, filters, and backends

   for an Apple Operating System, that is linked to the

   CUPS imaging library or based on any sample filters

   or backends provided with CUPS shall not be

   considered to be a derivative work or collective work

   based on the CUPS program and is exempt from the

   mandatory source code release clauses of the GNU GPL.

   You may therefore distribute linked combinations of

   the CUPS imaging library with Apple OS-Developed

   Software without releasing the source code of the

   Apple OS-Developed Software. You may also use sample

   filters and backends provided with CUPS to develop

   Apple OS-Developed Software without releasing the

   source code of the Apple OS-Developed Software.
