perfSONAR User Q&A and Other Discussion

["Warnke, Eric E" <>]

I just did a quick scan of the install.

find /opt/perfsonar_ps/ -name LICENSE -print -exec head -n 10 {} \; | more

and I saw Apache, Dojo, BSD, AFL, and MIT.  I don't believe any would prevent you from commercializing parts but don't take my word for it.   That said why would you want to since tests can be pushed to multiple json web consumers just by extending the configs without modifying the codebase?

Cheers,

Eric

Subject: [perfsonar-user] Licensing clarification

Dear all,

here I come with a question which is rather non-technical so I apologize if this is not the place to ask it.

I’ve been playing with perfSonar a little in the last couple of months and now I would like to propose, to the company I work for, to include it as part of a commercial project we are designing.

In the scope of the project, perfSonar would be used as network performace data generator and these data would be sent to a custom application for further processing. This should be obtained by means of posthooks (for bwctl and owping) and log monitoring for NDT (I would monitor /var/log/ndt/web100srv.log).

Is there anything about licensing I should take care of in advance? Actually, I tried to search the perfSonar web site but was unable to find information about licensing constraints I should obey, may you help me understanding? Is it possible to deploy perfSonar as a component of a commercial product?

 

Thank you in advance for any kind help

Gaetano
