Third Party
Open Source License Terms Guide
QNX Software Systems incorporates certain open source software in our stack. The license terms associated with this software require that we give copyright and license information, and this Third Party Open Source License Terms Guide (“TPOSLTG”) provides those details.
The open source software is used primarily in two areas. We use the GNU Compiler Tools, Debugger and GNU C++ libraries in the development suite. These applications are governed by the terms of either the GPL or LGPL, copies of which are reproduced below.
We also incorporate various open source software in our networking stack, mainly around the TCP/IP stack and related utilities.
As many of the licenses share common terms (the BSD license from the Regents of the University of California is the most common), rather than repeat the same text ad nauseam, we have abstracted those licenses. For unique licenses, we have provided the full license text.
See the last page of the guide for an example.

Serial Line interface Rick Adams Center for Seismic Studies 1300 N 17th Street, Suite
1450 Arlington, Virginia 22209 (703)276-7900 rick@seismo.ARPA seismo!rick Pounded on heavily by Chris
Torek (chris@mimsy.umd.edu, umcp-cs!chris).
Converted to 4.3BSD Beta by Chris Torek. Other changes made at
Berkeley, based in part on code by Kirk Smith. Converted to 4.3BSD+ 386BSD
by Brad Parker (brad@cayman.com) Added VJ tcp header
compression; more unified ioctls Extensively modified by
Paul Mackerras
(paulus@cs.anu.edu.au). Cleaned up a lot of the
mbuf-related code to fix bugs that caused system crashes and packet corruption. Changed pppstart so that it doesn't just
give up with a collision if the whole packet doesn't fit in the output ring
buffer. Added priority queueing for interactive IP
packets, following the model of if_sl.c, plus hooks for bpf. Paul Mackerras (paulus@cs.anu.edu.au). |
