- SPDX-License-Identifier: BSD-3-Clause-Clear
- Type: Permissive
-BSD 3-Clause Clear License
- is a highly permissive
- license which allows content licensed under it to be
- used in any way, whether in source or binary form, and
- allows sublicensing under a different license, with the
- only restrictions being the original copyright notice
- must be kept in order to attribute the original creator
- of the licensed content, and the name of the project
- and/or its contributors may not be used to endorse or
- promote products derived from the original project.
- BSD 3-Clause Clear License is a derivative of
- BSD 3-Clause "New" or "Revised" License,
- which adds
- an explicit statement clarifying that patent rights are
- not granted by the license alone, and must be granted
- separately by the copyright and/or patent holder(s). We
- prefer this license over the BSD 3-Clause "New" or
- "Revised" License due to this explicit statement which
- removes any possibility of debate and misunderstanding
- in regards to patents applied to code using the BSD
- 3-Clause "New" or "Revised" License.

SPDX-License-Identifier: MIT
- Type: Permissive
-MIT License
- is a highly permissive license which
- allows content licensed under it to be used in any way,
- whether in source or binary form, and allows
- sublicensing under a different license, with the only
- restriction being the original copyright notice must be
- kept in order to attribute the original creator of the
- licensed content.
- Due to this license allowing the original project's name
- and/or contributors to be used to endorse or promote
- products derived from the original project, unless an
- explicit statement is made alongside this license,
- increasing complexity and deviating from the standard
- license text, we prefer
- BSD 3-Clause Clear License;
- however, MIT License is
- a great choice when derivatives using the name of the
- original project and/or its contributors is a non-issue.
SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0-only
- Type: Copyleft
-GNU General Public License v2.0
- is a strong
- copyleft license which restricts use of content licensed
- under it by requiring all source code of the content to
- be publicly available, making binary-only form and
- inclusion of proprietary code impossible, requiring all
- derivatives to be licensed under the same license
- (allowing sublicensing under only newer GPL licenses if
- GPL-2.0-or-later is specified in the SPDX-
- License-Identifier), and requiring the original
- copyright notice to be kept in order to attribute the
- original creator of the licensed content.
- Due to the restrictive and invasive nature of this
- license, it is avoided unless such restrictions would be
- beneficial to Inferencium code; whenever this is the
- case, the GNU General Public License v2.0 will be used,
- rather than the more restrictive
- GNU General Public License v3.0,
- and relicensing
- derivatives under the GNU General Public License v3.0
- will be disallowed.
