This product includes software developed at National Security Agency
|
|
(https://www.nsa.gov)
|
|
|
|
Portions of this product were created by the U.S. Government and not subject to
|
|
U.S. copyright protections under 17 U.S.C.
|
|
|
|
The remaining portions are copyright their respective authors and have been
|
|
contributed under the terms of one or more open source licenses, and made
|
|

Licensing Intent
|
|
|
|
The intent is that this software and documentation ("Project") should be treated
|
|
as if it is licensed under the license associated with the Project ("License")
|
|
in the LICENSE file. However, because we are part of the United States (U.S.)
|
|
Federal Government, it is not that simple.
|
|
|
|
The portions of this Project written by U.S. Federal Government employees within
|
|
the scope of their federal employment are ineligible for copyright protection in
|
|
the U.S.; this is generally understood to mean that these portions of the
|
|
Project are placed in the public domain.
|
|
|
|
In countries where copyright protection is available (which does not include the
|
|
U.S.), contributions made by U.S. Federal Government employees are released
|
|
under the License. Merged contributions from private contributors are released
|
|
under the License.
|
|
|
|
The Ghidra software is released under the Apache License, Version 2.0
|
|
("Apache 2.0").
|
|
|
|
In addition, each module may contain numerous 3rd party components (libraries,
|
|
icons, etc.) that each have their own license which is compatible with Apache
|
|
2.0. Each module has a LICENSE.txt file that lists each license used in that
|
|
module and the 3rd party files that fall under that license. The license files
|
|
for each license used by Ghidra can be found in the licenses directory at the
|
|
installation root.
|
|
|
|
Also, in the GPL directory, there are several stand-alone support programs that
|
|
are released using the GPL 3 license. Ghidra executes these programs as needed
|
|
and parses the output to get the desired results. There is a licenses directory
|
|
under the GPL directory that has the GPL license files.
|
|
|
|
Consistent with the inbound=outbound model, contributions to any module must be
|
|
made available, by the contributor, under the applicable license(s). Please read
|
|
the Legal section of the CONTRIBUTING.md guide.
