They are asking if BSD-3 license would be OK? Because "DMTF currently has a licensing policy for software that it must be BSD-3 licensed". Regards, Aija On 07/18/2018 09:46 PM, Allison Randal wrote:
Hi Aija,
They don't list an open source license anywhere in those files or on their website, so by default you have to assume it's proprietary, and that means NO on your questions (1), (2), and (3).
On your question (4), DMTF seems to be quite proud of the fact that open source projects use their technology [1], and even specifically call out Sushy on that list. So, I imagine they'd be responsive if you contact them and ask what license they meant to release those files under. If they release the files under the Apache 2.0 license, then the answer to (1) changes to YES. If it's some other license, then come back and check on this list to make sure the open source license DMTF is using is compatible with Apache 2.0.
Just FYI, if (1) is a NO, then (2) and (3) wouldn't help, because the license of the original files would still apply to any code you derive from them, whether you do it with a script or manually.

Hi,
I'm working on sushy project[1] and I want to know if I can include some third-party files in the project and distribute the project together with these files. The files in question are JSON files here [2], for example, [3]. They do not have any license specified, but they have "Copyright 2014-2015, 2017 Distributed Management Task Force, Inc. (DMTF). All rights reserved.". This corresponds to full copyright notice at [4].
The questions: 1) Can I include these files in sushy project as they are? 2) If not, can I process these files automatically using a script and derive some code from these files and include the derived code in sushy project? 3) If not, can I process these files manually and type some code and include the derived code? 4) Is there something else?
