QP/C++ and QP-nano FRAMEWORK EXCEPTION FOR ARDUINO
|
|
|
|
Version 3.0, December 22, 2021
|
|
|
|
Copyright (c) 2005-2021 Quantum Leaps, LLC. <https://www.state-machine.com/>
|
|
|
|
Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this
|
|
license document, but changing it is not allowed.
|
|
|
|
This QP/C++ and QP-nano Framework Exception for Arduino ("Exception")
|
|
is an additional permission under section 7 of the GNU General Public
|
|
License, version 3 ("GPLv3"). It applies to the QP/C++ and QP-nano
|
|
source code (the "QP Frameworks") that is distributed as part of the
|
|
QP-Arduino Support Package.
|
|
|
|
When you use QP/C++ or QP-nano Frameworks inside your program, the frameworks'
|
|
code is combined with your code of the program. The purpose of this Exception
|
|
is to allow non-GPL (including proprietary) programs to use, in this way, the
|
|
QP Frameworks' code covered by this Exception.
|
|
|
|
0. Definitions.
|
|
"QP Frameworks" are lightweight real-time embedded frameworks (RTEFs)
|
|
as well as all supporting ports and examples, as distributed from:
|
|
<https://www.state-machine.com> and
|
|
<https://github.com/QuantumLeaps>
|
|
|
|
"Arduino-Certified Board" means any board with an Arduino-supported
|
|
CPU that bears an official Arduino logo and/or is officially certified
|
|
under the Arduino Certified Program
|
|
(see <https://www.arduino.cc/en/hardware>).
|
|
|
|
"Target Code" refers to output from any compiler and linker in
|
|
executable form suitable for execution by an embedded microcontroller.
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. Grant of Additional Permission
|
|
As a special Exception, the copyright holder of QP Frameworks gives you
|
|
permission to propagate a work of Target Code formed by combining
|
|
the QP Frameworks with your own source code without the requirement
|
|
to expose your proprietary source code, provided that all Target Code
|
|
will execute on Arduino-Certified Board(s).
|
|
|
|
2. No Weakening of GPL
|
|
The availability of this Exception does not imply any general
|
|
presumption that third-party software linking to the QP Framework is
|
|
unaffected by the copyleft requirements of the GPLv3 license.
