MARCO GSRC T2 Fabrics: Bookshelf
Copyright Issues
Discussion
In light of the success of the "Berkeley model" for open software
release and distribution, as well as discussions among the MARCO
GSRC investigators (dating back to late 1997), the MARCO GSRC
Bookshelf strongly supports a policy of free and open distribution
of all Bookshelf entries. We will strongly support a practice of
data models and data interchange formats being freely provided
with respect to both syntax and interface (API). Releases
of implementations (whether in library, executable or source code
form) should also be freely usable. The following is the "MIT license"
that we are using to distribute MARCO GSRC Bookshelf software (including
but not limited to source code and documentation).
