# 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.
|
|
|
|
Most portions of the Project are licensed under the Apache License, Version 2.0 ("Apache 2.0") unless indicated otherwise.
|
|
Some modules incorporate code available under other licenses.
|
|
These modules contain human- and machine-readable lists of the governing license(s).
