SLY TECHNOLOGIES COPYRIGHT / END USER LICENSE AGREEMENT

Version 1.0, January 2023

http://www.slytechs.com/free-license-txt

 

jNetWorks (https://www.slytechs.com/jnetworks) is a network analysis and protocol emulation library and is copyright (c) 2015-2022 by Sly Technologies Inc ("Sly Technologies"). All rights reserved.

Even though jNetWorks source code is publicly available for review, it is not open source software and may not be redistributed or used in other software without special permission from Sly Technologies. The standard (free) version is usually limited to installation on five systems. We fund the jNetWorks project by selling two types of commercial licenses to a special jNetWorks OEM edition:

 

1) The jNetWorks OEM Redistribution License allows companies distribute jNetWorks OEM within their products. Licensees generally use the jNetWorks OEM silent installer, ensuring a seamless experience for end users. Licensees may choose between a perpetual unlimited license or a quarterly term license, along with options for commercial support and updates. Prices and details: https://slytechs.com/license/redistribution

2) The jNetWorks OEM Internal-Use License is for organizations that wish to use jNetWorks OEM internally, without redistribution outside their organization. This allows them to bypass the 5-system usage cap of the jNetWorks free edition. It includes commercial support and update options, and provides the extra jNetWorks OEM features. Prices and details: https://slytechs.com/license/internal

Both of these licenses include updates and support as well as a warranty. jNetWorks OEM also includes a silent installer for unattended

installation. Further details about jNetWorks OEM are available from https://slytechs.com/license, and you are also welcome to contact us at sales@slytechs.com to ask any questions or set up a license for your organization.

Free and open source software producers are also welcome to contact us for redistribution requests. However, we normally recommend that such authors instead ask your users to download and install jNetWorks themselves. It will be free for them if they need 5 or fewer copies.

If Sly Technologies (directly or through one of our commercial licensing customers) has granted you additional rights to jNetWorks or

jNetWorks OEM, those additional rights take precedence where they conflict with the terms of this license agreement.

Since the jNetWorks source code is available for download and review, users sometimes contribute code patches to fix bugs or add new

features. By sending these changes to Sly Technologies (including through direct email or our mailing lists or submitting pull requests

through our source code repository), it is understood unless you specify otherwise that you are offering Sly Technologies the

unlimited, non-exclusive right to reuse, modify, and relicense your code contribution so that we may (but are not obligated to)

incorporate it into jNetWorks. If you wish to specify special license conditions or restrictions on your contributions, just say so when you

send them.

This copy of jNetWorks (the "Software") and accompanying documentation is licensed and not sold. This Software is protected by copyright laws and treaties, as well as laws and treaties related to other forms of intellectual property. The Sly Technologies owns intellectual property

rights in the Software. The Licensee's ("you" or "your") license to download, use, copy, or change the Software is subject to these rights

and to all the terms and conditions of this End User License Agreement ("Agreement").

LICENSE GRANT

This Agreement entitles you to install and use five (5) copies of the Software. In addition, you may make archival copies of the Software

used of applications by more than five users, or on any configuration or system of computers that allows more than five users. A user may

only have one instance of this Agreement active at once. For example, downloading the software multiple times, downloading multiple versions of the software, and/or executing the software installer multiple times do not grant any additional rights such as using the software on more machines.

The terms "computer" and "machine" in this license include any computing device, including software computing instances such as

virtual machines and Docker containers.

THIRD PARTY SOFTWARE ATTRIBUTION

 

jNetWorks uses several 3rd party open source software libraries:

 

* The libpcap portable packet capturing library from https://tcpdump.org

* The Winpcap packet capturing library. It has been abandoned, but is currently still available from https://www.winpcap.org/.

* The ieee80211_radiotap.h header file from David Young

All of these are open source with BSD-style licenses that allow for unlimited use and royalty-free redistribution within other software

(including commercial/proprietary software). Some include a warranty disclaimer (relating to the original authors) and require a small

amount of acknowledgment text be added somewhere in the documentation of any software which includes them (including indirect inclusion

through jNetWorks).

Since Sly Technologies Inc is not the author of this 3rd party code, we can not waive or modify its software copyright or license. jNetWorks

users and redistributors must comply with the relevant jNetWorks license (either the free/demo license or a commercial jNetWorks OEM license they may have purchased) as well as the minimal requirements of this 3rd party open source software.
