- Our intent is to make it easy to use libatomic_ops, in
- both free and proprietary software. Hence most code that we expect to be
- linked into a client application is covered by an MIT-style license.
- A few library routines are covered by the GNU General Public License.
- These are put into a separate library, libatomic_ops_gpl.a .
- The low-level part of the library is mostly covered by the following
- license:
- ----------------------------------------
- Copyright (c) ...
- Permission is hereby granted, free of charge, to any person obtaining a copy
- of this software and associated documentation files (the "Software"), to deal
- in the Software without restriction, including without limitation the rights

- copies of the Software, and to permit persons to whom the Software is
- furnished to do so, subject to the following conditions:
- The above copyright notice and this permission notice shall be included in all

- LIABILITY, WHETHER IN AN ACTION OF CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE, ARISING FROM,

- --------------------------------
- A few files in the sysdeps directory were inherited in part from the
- Boehm-Demers-Weiser conservative garbage collector, and are covered by
- its license, which is similar in spirit:
- --------------------------------
- Copyright (c) ...
- THIS MATERIAL IS PROVIDED AS IS, WITH ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY EXPRESSED
- OR IMPLIED. ANY USE IS AT YOUR OWN RISK.
- Permission is hereby granted to use or copy this program
- for any purpose, provided the above notices are retained on all copies.
- Permission to modify the code and to distribute modified code is granted,
- provided the above notices are retained, and a notice that the code was
- modified is included with the above copyright notice.
- ----------------------------------
- A few files are covered by the GNU General Public License. (See file
- "COPYING".) This applies only to test code, sample applications,
- and the libatomic_ops_gpl portion of the library.
- Thus libatomic_ops_gpl should generally not be linked into proprietary code.
- (This distinction was motivated by patent considerations.)
- It is possible that the license of the GPL pieces may be changed for
- future versions to make them more consistent with the rest of the package.
- If you submit patches, and have strong preferences about licensing, please
- express them.
