Licenses
--------
* The RTEMS `License <https://devel.rtems.org/wiki/TBR/Website/License>`_. is the typical
and preferred license.
* 2- and 3-clause BSD, MIT, and other OSI-approved non-copyleft licenses
that permit statically linking with the code of different licenses
are acceptable.
* GPL licensed code is NOT acceptable, neither is LGPL.
See `this blog post explanation <http://gedare-csphd.blogspot.com/2013/05/software-licenses-with-rtems.html>`_.
for more information.
* Advertising obligations are NOT acceptable, but restrictions are permissible.
The RTEMS Project has strict requirements on the types of software licenses
that apply to software it includes and distributes. Submissions will be
summarily rejected that do not follow the correct license or file header
requirements.
* Refer to :ref:`LicensingRequirements` for a discussion of the acceptable
licenses and the rationale.
