SJCL used to be in the public domain. Now it's:
|
||
|
|
||
|
Copyright 2009-2010 Emily Stark, Mike Hamburg, Dan Boneh, Stanford University.
|
||
|
|
||
|
This is for liability reasons. (Speaking of which, SJCL comes with NO
|
||
|
WARRANTY WHATSOEVER, express or implied, to the limit of applicable
|
||
|
law.)
|
||
|
|
||
|
SJCL is dual-licensed under the GNU GPL version 2.0 or higher, and a
|
||
|
2-clause BSD license. You may use SJCL under the terms of either of
|
||
|
these licenses. For your convenience, the GPL versions 2.0 and 3.0
|
||
|
and the 2-clause BSD license are included here. Additionally, you may
|
||
|
serve "crunched" copies of sjcl (i.e. those with comments removed,
|
||
|
and other transformations to reduce code size) without any copyright
|
||
|
notice.
|
||
|
|
||
|
SJCL includes JsDoc toolkit, YUI compressor, Closure compressor,
|
||
|
JSLint and the CodeView template in its build system. These programs'
|
||
|
copyrights are owned by other people. They are distributed here under
|
||
|
the MPL, MIT, BSD, Apache and JSLint licenses. Codeview is "free for
|
||
|
download" but has no license attached; it is Copyright 2010 Wouter Bos.
|
||
|
|
||
|
The BSD license is (almost?) strictly more permissive, but the
|
||
|
additionally licensing under the GPL allows us to use OCB 2.0 code
|
||
|
royalty-free (at least, if OCB 2.0's creator Phil Rogaway has anything
|
||
|
to say about it). Note that if you redistribute SJCL under a license
|
||
|
other than the GPL, you or your users may need to pay patent licensing
|
||
|
fees for OCB 2.0.
|
||
|
|
||
|
There may be patents which apply to SJCL other than Phil Rogaway's OCB
|
||
|
patents. We suggest that you consult legal counsel before using SJCL
|
||
|
in a commercial project.
