Licensing overview
==================

Most parts of this NSIS package are released under the General Public 
License (GPL) (see COPYING.GPL). However, to allow the devlopment of
closed source NSLPs, the NSLP-API is licensed under the Lesser GPL (LGPL)
(see COPYING.LGPL). In addition, this package ships with a so called
"skeleton NSLP", which serves as a NSLP template. It is licensed under
the 3-clause BSD license to allow building closed source NSLPs based
on the skeleton.
This file provides an overview, under which license the different parts
of the package are released. See the indivdual source files for their 
license.

This library provides all necessary functions to allow the communication between
GIST and NSLP, i.e. NSLP-API functions over unix-sockets, socket-callbacks and
timer. It is built during the normal make-process.  An example makefile 
(Makefile.libNslp) is located in the directory nslp/nslp_api.

All files located under nslp/skeleton are licensed under the 3-clause BSD-License.
These files provide a skeleton NSLP and can be used as a source to develop further
NSLPs.
