Subject: OpenMP licensing problem: a solution
Date: Tue, 23 Nov 2004 09:31:00 -0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <200411230916.36569.lucini@phys.ethz.ch> (raw)
The question arose in
http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2004-11/msg00394.html
and follow-up messages.
I have made an enquiry to the OpenMP ARB, appended is the answer I received.
My understanding of the meaning of "public domain" is that we are free to put
the code under GPL+exceptions.

Hello,
Any material from the OpenMP ARB needs to be released under OpenMP
copyright, including the example code. With the copyright, you can
assume the code is public domain.
Thank you for your interest.
For the OpenMP ARB,
Sanjiv Shah

Subject: [Feedback] Licensing (or copyright) question
We are starting a project to implement OpenMP for GCC. At the moment, we
are
written the stubs, which mostly coincides with what is written in the
specification document. Now, GCC for the libraries like to put a GPL +
exceptions license. Are we allowed to do that? And under which copyright
is
the code of the specs being released? Does the copyright notice that
applies
to the document applies also to the example code or can we assume that
the
code is public domain?
Many thanks for your time,
Biagio Lucini (on the behalf of the developers of the gomp project)
