Copyright: © 2006-2007 Sourcefire Inc
License:
This Daemonlogger software is the copyrighted work of Sourcefire, Inc.
(C) 2007 Sourcefire, Inc. All Rights Reserved. This program is free
software; you may use, redistribute and/or modify this software only under
the terms and conditions of the GNU General Public License as published by
the Free Software Foundation; Version 2 with the clarifications and
exceptions described below. If you wish to embed this Daemonlogger
technology into proprietary software, we sell alternative licenses (contact
snort-license@sourcefire.com).
Note that the GPL requires that any work that contains or is derived from
any GPL licensed work also must be distributed under the GPL. However,
there exists no definition of what is a "derived work." To avoid
misunderstandings, we consider an application to constitute a "derivative
work" for the purpose of this license if it does any of the following:
- Integrates source code from Daemonlogger.
- Includes Daemonlogger copyrighted data files.
- Integrates/includes/aggregates Daemonlogger into a proprietary executable
installer, such as those produced by InstallShield.
- Links to a library or executes a program that does any of the above where
the linked output is not available under the GPL.
The term " Daemonlogger " should be taken to also include any portions or
derived works of Daemonlogger. This list is not exclusive, but is just
meant to clarify our interpretation of derived works with some common
examples. These restrictions only apply when you actually redistribute
Daemonlogger. For example, nothing stops you from writing and selling a
proprietary front-end to Daemonlogger. Just distribute it by itself, and
point people to http://www.snort.org/dl to download Daemonlogger.
We don't consider these to be added restrictions on top of the GPL, but just
a clarification of how we interpret "derived works" as it applies to our
GPL-licensed Snort product. This is similar to the way Linus Torvalds has
announced his interpretation of how "derived works" applies to Linux kernel
modules. Our interpretation refers only to Daemonlogger - we don't speak
for any other GPL products.
If you have any questions about the GPL licensing restrictions on using
Daemonlogger in non-GPL works, we would be happy to help. As mentioned
above, we also offer alternative license to integrate Daemonlogger into
proprietary applications and appliances. These contracts can generally
include a perpetual license as well as providing for priority support and
updates as well as helping to fund the continued development of Daemonlogger
technology. Please email snort-license@sourcefire.com for further
information.
If you received these files with a written license agreement or contract
stating terms other than the terms above, then that alternative license
agreement takes precedence over these comments.
Source is provided to this software because we believe users have a right to
know exactly what a program is going to do before they run it. This also
allows you to audit the software for security holes.
Source code also allows you to port Daemonlogger to new platforms, fix bugs,
and add new features. You are highly encouraged to send your changes to
roesch@sourcefire.com for possible incorporation into the main distribution.
By sending these changes to Sourcefire or one of the Sourcefire-moderated
mailing lists or forums, you are granting to Sourcefire, Inc. the unlimited,
perpetual, non-exclusive right to reuse, modify, and/or relicense the code.
Daemonlogger will always be available Open Source, but this is important
because the inability to relicense code has caused devastating problems for
other Free Software projects (such as KDE and NASM). We also occasionally
relicense the code to third parties as discussed above. If you wish to
specify special license conditions of your contributions, just say so when
you send them.
This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, but WITHOUT
ANY WARRANTY; including without limitation any implied warranty of
MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. See the GNU General
Public License for more details at http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/gpl.html,
or in the COPYING file included with Daemonlogger.
