How can I use the code?
libow
This is the main body of code, and includes most of the function of OWFS.
All programs that directly link libow will have to be compatible with it's license: GPLv2
The license for OWFS is dictated by the provenance of the code:
Maxim's Public Domain Kit (public domain)
Brian Lane's Digitemp (GPL)
TAI8570 code (non-free, but GPL allowed for us)
Bonjour (BSD)
It is the opinion of the priciple author that code code best falls under the GPL v2 license.
When GPL v3 is ratified, we probably will dual license under that version as well.
owfs, owhttpd, owserver, owftpd
Quick answer: GPL, since libow is linked in.
In addition, some modules are based on older projects:
owhttpd: chttp (GPL)
owftpd: oftp (GPL)
owfs: fusexmp (GPL)
owperl, owpython, owphp, owtcl, libowcapi
Quick answer: GPLv2 since libow is linked in.
owshell
MIT license (essentially free for use, with acknowlegement encouraged).
ownet langauge modules
There is no required licence, since libow is NOT linked, and the network owserver protocol is in the public domain. Individual components will have the license given by their author:
OWNet.pm -- Perl license
ownet.py --
ownet.php --
ownet.vb -- GPLv2 (Roberto Spadim)
ownet.java --
ownet.ruby --
