Licensing GateD
|
|
|
|
|
|
GateD has code in two source trees:
|
|
|
|
Public code (version 3), and
|
|
Consortium Code (versions 4, 5, and 6)
|
|
|
|
The Consortium code is released in 3 separate versions:
|
|
|
|
1.Version 4 - GateD Unicast
|
|
2.Version 5 - GateD Multicast
|
|
3.Version 6 - GateD IPv6
|
|
|
|
The Consortium code is developed out of a single library for
|
|
releases 4, 5, and 6. These releases have the nice features of
|
|
being "autoconfed" and will adapt more easily to your environment that the
|
|
public GateD code. You can probably obtain a "no-cost" license to use
|
|
this code. Please see ./doc/main.html for details.
|
|
|
|
Public code is available for anonymous ftp. Any redistribution
|
|
of GateD public source code requires a Gated Redistribution License
|
|
for Version 3. For a copy of the version 3 redistribution license
|
|
see ./doc/main.html for details or file
|
|
./doc/member_info/licenses/merit_license.v_3.0.
|
|
|
|
Consortium GateD (new) source code, tools and documentation is
|
|
to GateD members only . Binaries for utilities or on-line
|
|
documentation is available for anonymous ftp or via the web.
|
|
Members of the Academic and Research community can join the the
|
|
Merit GateD Consortium at no cost by simply filling out a
|
|
GateD Academic and Research membership License.
|
|
|
|
We have a very broad definition of what "Academic and Research" usage is.
|
|
|
|
If you are at an Internet Service Provider, and want to use
|
|
GateD to debug problems, we still consider this an Academic and
|
|
Research use.
|
|
|
|
If you want to use GateD at home, we encourage you to apply for the
|
|
Academic and Research license. The purpose behind the license is to
|
|
help us find out who uses the software and how. In addition, with proven
|
|
public use, we may be able to obtain more public money. The benefit of
|
|
public money is that more of GateD can be returned to the "public"
|
|
version of GateD. The Merit's GateD Consortium's goal is to keep
|
|
the quality of Software high in the Internet at large via
|
|
technology transfer to both the Academic and Research in the Internet
|
|
at large and Commercial companies.
|
|
|
|
We are working toward supporting all publically available operating
|
|
systems as well as those of our members. The Merit GateD Consortium
|
|
has not accomplished this goal, and looks to the linux,
|
|
FreeBSD, NETBSD, and other operating system communities for help. can use
|
|
|
|
This membership simply requires that the member:
|
|
|
|
sign the GateD Membership,
|
|
register the machines to GateD source code and/or
|
|
binaries will be distributed, and
|
|
and agree to return any enhancements to the project for redistribution.
|
|
|
|
The term of each of the Merit GateD Consortiuim licenses is 1 year.
|
|
However, you may renew for 10 years or more.
|
|
|
|
A Gold membership spans two product lines and allows for
|
|
commercial redistribution for both product lines. The other
|
|
membership categories are in respect to a particular product line.
|
|
Membership is a requirement for distribution of GateD sources or binaries.
|
|
|
|
For commerical redistrbution you need to become either a
|
|
|
|
Gold member, or a
|
|
Commercial member , or
|
|
Small Commerical member.
|
|
|
|
For redistribution to support a Commerical Internet Service, you need to become either a
|
|
|
|
Service member or a
|
|
Small Service .
|
|
|
|
Each of the commerical memberships require a fee.
|
|
|
|
For redistribution of binaries and sources within the Academic and Research community, you may
|
|
become either an:
|
|
|
|
Academic and Research member, or a
|
|
Supporting Academic member.
|
|
|
|
All licenses are on ./doc/member_info/licenses.
