^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 3) Linux Kernel Enforcement Statement
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 4) ----------------------------------
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 5)
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 6) As developers of the Linux kernel, we have a keen interest in how our software
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 7) is used and how the license for our software is enforced. Compliance with the
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 8) reciprocal sharing obligations of GPL-2.0 is critical to the long-term
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 9) sustainability of our software and community.
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 10)
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 11) Although there is a right to enforce the separate copyright interests in the
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 12) contributions made to our community, we share an interest in ensuring that
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 13) individual enforcement actions are conducted in a manner that benefits our
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 14) community and do not have an unintended negative impact on the health and
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 15) growth of our software ecosystem. In order to deter unhelpful enforcement
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 16) actions, we agree that it is in the best interests of our development
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 17) community to undertake the following commitment to users of the Linux kernel
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 18) on behalf of ourselves and any successors to our copyright interests:
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 19)
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 20) Notwithstanding the termination provisions of the GPL-2.0, we agree that
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 21) it is in the best interests of our development community to adopt the
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 22) following provisions of GPL-3.0 as additional permissions under our
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 23) license with respect to any non-defensive assertion of rights under the
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 24) license.
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 25)
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 26) However, if you cease all violation of this License, then your license
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 27) from a particular copyright holder is reinstated (a) provisionally,
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 28) unless and until the copyright holder explicitly and finally
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 29) terminates your license, and (b) permanently, if the copyright holder
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 30) fails to notify you of the violation by some reasonable means prior to
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 31) 60 days after the cessation.
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 32)
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 33) Moreover, your license from a particular copyright holder is
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 34) reinstated permanently if the copyright holder notifies you of the
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 35) violation by some reasonable means, this is the first time you have
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 36) received notice of violation of this License (for any work) from that
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 37) copyright holder, and you cure the violation prior to 30 days after
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 38) your receipt of the notice.
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 39)
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 40) Our intent in providing these assurances is to encourage more use of the
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 41) software. We want companies and individuals to use, modify and distribute
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 42) this software. We want to work with users in an open and transparent way to
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 43) eliminate any uncertainty about our expectations regarding compliance or
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 44) enforcement that might limit adoption of our software. We view legal action
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 45) as a last resort, to be initiated only when other community efforts have
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 46) failed to resolve the problem.
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 47)
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 48) Finally, once a non-compliance issue is resolved, we hope the user will feel
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 49) welcome to join us in our efforts on this project. Working together, we will
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 50) be stronger.
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 51)
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 52) Except where noted below, we speak only for ourselves, and not for any company
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 53) we might work for today, have in the past, or will in the future.
