Clarification around licensing: BSD3 or Proprietary? #419
Comments
The BDS3 license is for the DSSAT Cropping System Model in the dssat-csm-os repository. The license you refer to here is for the accompanying Windows software which can be used to enter DSSAT data and to interpret and analyze DSSAT outputs. This license is included in the DSSAT windows software release and is stored in this repo only to enable quick build of install files. |
I see. Thanks for the clarification. But this current repository does not contain any Windows code. Why is this file in this repository and not part of the closed source repository of the Windows version? I'm not sure I understand why and this may lead to potential confusion. |
Yes, indeed. It can lead to potential confusion. But it is based on what Cheryl said. One is for the repository and the others for the Windows software by the time the DSSAT Shell is built. Thank you. Fabio Oliveira |
I'm a bit confused about the license of DSSAT at the moment as there is conflicting information.
The license in the repository mentions BSD3.
But this file is also present in the repository
https://github.com/DSSAT/dssat-csm-os/blob/develop/Data/Help/DSSAT%20v4.8%20License%20%26%20Warranty%20Agreement.pdf
And shows:
This seems to be incompatible to being a BSD3 license. Where even commercial use should be authorized.
Did something change? Is it specific to DSSAT48?
