Open Public License

Description: OpenSS7 License Open License.

As a matter of logistics and to permit OpenSS7 users the most flexible use of OpenSS7 software, some source files are distributed under an open public license. Our open public license is shown below. In general, the only files that OpenSS7 provides under a open public license are header files that are intended to be used by applications developers and are to be installed into system header files in a distribution. These include:

  • OpenSS7 STREAMS SS7 Stack System Header Files
  • OpenSS7 STREAMS SS7 Device Drivers System Header Files
  • OpenSS7 STREAMS SIGTRAN Stack System Header Files
  • OpenSS7 STREAMS TALI Modules System Header Files
  • OpenSS7 STREAMS SCTP Stack System Header Files

OpenSS7 provides software under a Open Public License such as that shown in the listing below. In general, OpenSS7 provides this Open Public License on all header files that describe the interface to the OpenSS7 stack. This permits applications to be written in compliance to the OpenSS7 interfaces without necessarily being linked with the OpenSS7 stacks. This is primarily used on STREAMS interface files (such as the xti_sctp.h). This license on header files in no way detracts from the full GNU General Public License Version 2 licensing of the OpenSS7 stacks themselves. These interface files are provided to industry to permit other application to utilize OpenSS7 interfaces without necessarily utilizing OpenSS7 code.

The OpenSS7 Open Public License looks like that presented in the following Listing:
