License information

The SPDX identifier in each source file is authoritative. This file is an inventory for release packaging; it does not replace a file-level notice.

Project source

The root-level LICENSE is the Apache-2.0 primary project license used for repository discovery. It does not override a file-level SPDX identifier or a bundled third-party notice.

  • Most project source is licensed under Apache-2.0.
  • Linux kernel-module source is licensed under GPL-2.0-only.
  • Shared protocol and transport files marked GPL-2.0-only OR Apache-2.0 may be used under either license, at the recipient's option.
  • Example and test source marked CC0-1.0 or Unlicense OR CC0-1.0 is covered by CC0-1.0 and, where selected by the SPDX expression, the Unlicense.

Included third-party material

  • common/serializers/third_party/msg_codec/protobuf-c/ carries its own BSD-3-Clause notice in LICENSE.
  • Managed components and vendored dependencies retain their own license files. Preserve those notices when distributing the corresponding material.

Release requirements

  1. Preserve every file-level SPDX identifier and all bundled third-party license/notice files.
  2. Include Apache-2.0, GPL-2.0, CC0-1.0, and Unlicense from this directory whenever the distributed source or binaries include material under those terms.
  3. Include the protobuf-c BSD-3-Clause notice whenever that serializer is distributed.
  4. Do not infer a directory-wide license from this summary; check the SPDX identifier of every changed or distributed file.
