Quantum Leaps Commercial Licenses Copyright (C) 2005 Quantum Leaps, LLC Quantum Leaps commercial licenses are traditional closed-source, paid-for licenses designed for licensees interested in retaining the proprietary status of their code. The Quantum Leaps commercial licenses expressly supersede the GPL open source license. This means that when you license the QP/C or QP/C++ Real-Time Embedded Frameworks under a Quantum Leaps commercial license, you specifically do not use the software under the open source license and therefore you are not subject to any of its terms. Quantum Leaps commercial licensing options are described below: Single Product License ---------------------- Single Product License allows a given company ("Licensee") to embed the specified type(s) of the QP Real-Time Embedded Framework(s) into one end- product of the Licensee (Single Product). Licensee can distribute/sell an unlimited number of units of the Single Product (royalty-free licensing), for the life of the Single Product. A different Single Product license is required for each different end product (i.e. model) even if the end-product is in the same family as a previously licensed end product. This license is specific to the Licensee and the name and model of the Single Product, which needs to be defined in the license. The general rule we apply is: If you consider it a separate product... so do we! Volume discounts are offered if several Single Products are licensed at once with one license agreement.
