Although almost all of the Zcash code is licensed under "permissive" open source
|
||||
licenses, there are two dependencies that use "copyleft" open source licenses:
|
||||
- Users and distributors should note that when built using the default build
|
||||
options, Zcash depends on Oracle Berkeley DB 6.2.x, which is licensed under
|
||||
options, zcashd depends on Oracle Berkeley DB 6.2.x, which is licensed under
|
||||
the GNU Affero General Public License.
|
||||
- Downstream code forks should note that Zcash depends on the 'orchard' crate,
|
||||
which is licensed under the Bootstrap Open Source License. An exception is
|
||||
provided that makes this a "permissive" license when used in Zcash or some of
|
||||
its chain forks.
|
||||
- Downstream code forks should note that zcashd depends on the 'orchard' crate,
|
||||
which is licensed under the Bootstrap Open Source License.
|
||||
A license exception is provided allowing some derived works that are linked or
|
||||
combined with the 'orchard' crate to be copied or distributed under the original
|
||||
licenses (in this case documented in 'contrib/debian/copyright'), provided that
|
||||
the included portions of the 'orchard' code remain subject to BOSL.
|
||||
See https://github.com/zcash/orchard/blob/main/COPYING for details of which
|
||||
projects can make use of this exception.
