Sun Studio FAQ: Runtime Libraries/object licenses
Q: What are the concerns/license restrictions around Sun Studio Runtime libraries, modules, etc. I remember that in previous releases, we were allowed to use libraries in 3rd party code; now that its free, are we still allowed to do that?
Answer: Yes, this hasnt changed. The list of objects/modules/libraries that users generally require or request to have such permission for, has been modified (mostly added to), over the years, but the license is essentially the same.For more information and details and a list of which objects are included in this, here this RunTime Libraries Licensing Agreeement.
Hint: we try to make this as convenient as possible for others to use our software. Our SW at this stage is not fully and freely redistributable, but >99% of it is. In particular, the IPS packages that are part of OpenSolaris 2008.05 release (go to package manager and type in sunstudioexpress in search) is now fully redistributable.
