Our intent is to make it easy to use libatomic_ops, in
|
||
|
|
both free and proprietary software. Hence most code that we expect to be
|
||
|
|
linked into a client application is covered by an MIT-style license.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
A few library routines are covered by the GNU General Public License.
|
||
|
|
These are put into a separate library, libatomic_ops_gpl.a .
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The low-level part of the library is mostly covered by the following
|
||
|
|
license:
|
||

A few files in the sysdeps directory were inherited in part from the
|

|
|
Boehm-Demers-Weiser conservative garbage collector, and are covered by
|
||
|
|
its license, which is similar in spirit:

A few files are covered by the GNU General Public License. (See file
|
||
|
|
"COPYING".) This applies only to test code, sample applications,
|
||
|
|
and the libatomic_ops_gpl portion of the library.
|
||
|
|
Thus libatomic_ops_gpl should generally not be linked into proprietary code.
|
||
|
|
(This distinction was motivated by patent considerations.)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
It is possible that the license of the GPL pieces may be changed for
|
||
|
|
future versions to make them more consistent with the rest of the package.
|
||
|
|
If you submit patches, and have strong preferences about licensing, please
|
||
|
|
express them.
