International Components for Unicode Licence

From EDM2
Jump to: navigation, search

An open source licence that was initially used when IBM open sourced the Pink/Taligent C++ internationalisation class libraries and has been used since on a number of IBM open source projects. Note that this is the version that IBM has used the most and unlike most other open source projects they have updated most source distributions to this version, or at the least all they still have some control over.

Disclaimer

Note that the licence text below is here for reference purposes and unlike other material on the EDM/2 Wiki is not under the Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 licence and should be treated under its own terms, or if an addition by the combined terms of the addition and the licence that it is an addition to. As it is a licence with fixed terms the text below it should not be modified except for formatting purposes, if a more recent version is published a new page should be created for that licence since software packages that do not get updated will continue to be governed by the terms of the older licence.
