Copyright (C) Open Autonomous Connection (OAC)

0. Definitions
|
||
|
||
“OAC Software”
|
||
Means any software distributed under this License, including but not limited to the Open Autonomous Connection protocol, reference implementations, clients, servers, INS systems, APIs, libraries, and the WebPage framework.
|
||
|
||
“Covered Work”
|
||
Means the OAC Software and any Derivative Work thereof.
|
||
|
||
“Derivative Work”
|
||
A work shall be considered a Derivative Work if it:
|
||
1. Modifies the OAC Software;
|
||
2. Incorporates it;
|
||
3. Links to it, whether statically or dynamically;
|
||
4. Extends its public APIs in a manner requiring OAC at runtime;
|
||
5. Implements required OAC interfaces;
|
||
6. Is designed to operate exclusively within the OAC runtime environment.
|
||
|
||
For clarity: A class extending “WebPage” is considered a Derivative Work.
|
||
|
||
“Independent Content”
|
||
Data or media files that do not contain executable OAC-dependent logic and can exist independently of OAC. Examples include HTML files, CSS files, images, JSON data, and static documents.
|
||
|
||
“Network Deployment”
|
||
Making a Covered Work available to third parties over any network, including but not limited to SaaS, cloud hosting, managed services, container environments, remote execution systems, and reverse-proxied deployments.
|
||
|
||
“Software Monetisation”
|
||
Any direct or indirect financial compensation in exchange for licensing, distributing, sublicensing, selling, restricting access to, or otherwise commercially exploiting the Covered Work itself as software.
|
||
|
||
“Content Monetisation”
|
||
Commercial activity based on content transmitted through OAC, provided that no Software Monetisation occurs.
|
||
|
||
1. Grant of License
|
||
|
||
Subject to compliance with this License, you are granted a worldwide, royalty-free, non-exclusive, non-transferable right to use, copy, study, modify, and distribute the Covered Work.
|
||
|
||
All rights not expressly granted remain reserved.
|
||
|
||
2. Strong Copyleft
|
||
|
||
Any Derivative Work:
|
||
1. Must be licensed exclusively under this OAPL v1.1;
|
||
2. Must include the full, unmodified text of this License;
|
||
3. Must clearly document all modifications;
|
||
4. Must provide full corresponding source code;
|
||
5. Must not impose additional restrictions beyond this License.
|
||
|
||
Re-licensing under any other license is prohibited.
|
||
|
||
3. Network Copyleft
|
||
|
||
If a Covered Work is subject to Network Deployment:
|
||
1. The complete corresponding source code must be publicly accessible;
|
||
2. Access must not require payment;
|
||
3. Access must not require authentication beyond reasonable technical protections such as rate-limiting;
|
||
4. Build scripts and sufficient instructions for reproducible builds must be provided.
|
||
|
||
This obligation applies regardless of whether distribution occurs.
|
||
|
||
4. Prohibition of Software Monetisation
|
||
|
||
The Covered Work may not be:
|
||
- Sold;
|
||
- Licensed for a fee;
|
||
- Distributed against financial compensation;
|
||
- Placed behind a paywall;
|
||
- Restricted by license keys or technical access controls intended to require payment;

|
||
|
||
Charging for infrastructure, hosting, support, consulting, or independent services is permitted, provided no Software Monetisation occurs.
|
||
|
||
5. Content Monetisation
|
||
|
||
Independent Content transmitted through OAC may be monetised without restriction, provided the Covered Work itself is not monetised.
|
||
|
||
6. Patent License
|
||
|
||
Each contributor grants a perpetual, worldwide, royalty-free patent license covering any patent claims necessarily infringed by their contributions to the Covered Work.
|
||
|
||
If any party initiates patent litigation alleging that the Covered Work infringes their patent rights, that party’s rights under this License terminate immediately.
|
||
|
||

|
||
|
||

||
|
||
The Covered Work may not be combined with software that:
|
||

||
- Imposes additional restrictions;

|
||
|
||
If full compliance is not possible, distribution is prohibited.
