OL-31092-01             Open Source Used In Cisco D9854/D9854-I Advanced Program Receiver and Cisco D9824 Advanced Multi Decryption
Receiver Software Version 4.10                                                                                                                                    4
 
   * Freely use Dojo to build applications and services  
   * Distribute Dojo as a part of commercial products  
   * Modify Dojo, make extensions to the toolkit, and produce your own add-on components with no requirement
that you give your code away or contribute it back to the project  
 
Just to re-iterate, you can build commercial software with Dojo without obtaining a separate license or incurring any
other obligations.  
 
Dojo is availble under either the terms of the modified BSD license or the Academic Free License version 2.1. Both
licenses grant you broad rights to use and build on and with Dojo in both Open Source and commercial settings.  
Licensing Goals  
 
The licensing goals of the Dojo Foundation are to:  
 
   * Encourage adoption  
   * Discourage political contention  
   * Encourage collaboration and integration with other projects and products  
   * Be transparent and responsive to the community  
 
Dojo's licensing is designed to be simple understand and accept. The toolkit is not encumbered by opaque
intellectual property statements, questionable code lineages, or IP compatibility concerns. The AFL and BSD
licenses we use gives you the right to build both Open Source and commercial products without owning anyone
anything or potentially running afoul of "viral" licensing clauses.  
 
Dojo's "dual licensing" is different than that of many Open Source projects in that the terms of both licenses are
Open Source and extremely permissive. There are no royalties or commercial use clauses to complicate things. In
almost every case, you will not need to choose anything other than the AFL and in the common case you need not
do anything to denote this choice of license. Many people and organizations are more familiar with the BSD license,
and we encourage those people to use Dojo under those terms if it suits them better. If you have questions regarding
Dojo licensing, please do not hesitate to contact Alex Russell, current President of the Dojo Foundation.  
 
Software licensing, and Open Source licensing in particular, is nothing short of a political and legal mine-field.
Dojo's explicit licensing goal is to reduce barriers to adoption, therefore politically charged licenses are unacceptable
and contributions offered under such terms aren't accepted. The Academic Free License was originally selected as it
is close to "public domain" terms, does not require contributing changes back to the project, and has passed muster
with corporate lawyers when used in previous projects. The BSD license was later added to avoid the problem of
artificial ambiguity the FSF has created regarding the compatibility of the AFL and the (L)GPL.  
Foundation Policies That Protect Your Rights  
 
To ensure that the licenses used for Foundation projects (including Dojo) fully protect users of our projects from
legal risk:  
 
   * All contributors much sign an Contributors License Agreement  
   * Commit privileges are only extended when CLAs have been submitted and committers are responsible for
vetting the CLA status of all contributions they may commit, as per the Contributor IP Policies.  
   * All Dojo Foundation projects must release their code under the terms of the Academic Free License v2.1  
   * Foundation projects may release their code under other (parallel) terms with the agreement of the community
