A HP eltávolította a licence-ből a 'HP only' kikötést

Hewlett-Packard

A HP teljesen szabadon felhasználhatóvá tette a nyomtató drivereit azzal, hogy eltávolította a driverek licence-ből a "HP only" kikötést.

"'We're "Free'!!! As of Version 1.0.1 , the "HP Product Only" clause has been removed from the license . Thank you all for your patience as we worked through the issues allowing us to "Free" our license."

Mostantól kezdve a driverek forrása szabadon felhasználható, a BSD licence-t figyelembe véve.

Itt találod a BSD license -t 1.0.2 verzióból:/*****************************************************************************
