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.
