The Drjava project’s primary license is identified in the source distribution as the BSD License (with Rice University as the licensor). Our source code audit of the project identified one issue relating to icons. Several, if not all, of the icons distributed together with Drjava are licensed under a proprietary Sun license that allows for [...]
According to Audacity project’s website, its code is licensed under the GPL license. Based on our analysis, we can conclude that this is to a large extent true also as regards Audacity’s sub-components, as virtually all of the code is clearly licensed either under the GPL or LGPL (which allows relicensing under the GPL). Several [...]
JUnit’s main license is listed on SourceForge as the Common Public License version 1 (CPL). Our source code audit confirmed that virtually all subcomponents are also licensed under the same license, or in case of some, a permissive BSD license.
In conclusion, JUnit’s licensing management is excellent and there are no IPR risks inherent in distributing [...]
The SNARE project’s primary license is identified in Sourceforge as the GPL. Our source code audit confirmed that most of the code is indeed licensed under the GPL, but the MD5 files fall under the RSA Security License which potentially conflicts with the GPL.
The problematic nature of the RSA Security License has been recognised by [...]
According to the project, its’ main license is the Apache Software Foundation license version 2, or in the alternative, the Python license version 2.2.2.
Based on our review of the code, most of the sub-components are also licensed under the same, or similar BSD or MIT-style licences, thereby being entirely compatible with the main license. However, [...]
The project’s primary license is identified on Zenoss’ website as the GPL. Our audit identified a plethora of sub-components licensed mainly under permissive licenses compatible with the GPL, or dual-licenses where one of the licenses was compatible with the GPL. We did, however, identify the following issues:
Several files were licensed under GPL version 3, which [...]
The Usermin project’s primary license is, based on the license file in the distribution, the BSD license. However, our source code audit revealed that some of the sub-components are licensed under incompatible licenses.
The JTA26.jar is licensed under the GPL, which is incompatible with the BSD license in cases where the BSD is the primary license. [...]
