The files in, and generated output documents from this Vulkan-Docs
|
|
project are under a mix of copyright and license statements. Refer to
|
|
the individual files for specific information. As a general
|
|
guideline:
|
|
|
|
* The Vulkan Specification asciidoc sources and generated output
|
|
documents are under a proprietary Khronos license. See
|
|
https://www.khronos.org/registry/speccopyright.html
|
|
* The Vulkan headers, spec build tools, and spec and registry
|
|
configuration files are for the most part under the Apache 2 license.
|
|
Some older files under BSD-like licenses which may eventually be
|
|
updated to Apache 2 as we have time.
|
|
* There may be some configuration files customized from material shipped
|
|
with the asciidoc and dblatex distributions. Such files continue under
|
|
their original copyrights.
|
|
* Documentation which we expect to be redistributed in different
|
|
formats, such as the reference pages generated from the Specification
|
|
source, are under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license.
|
|
* Some generated, transient files produced during the course of building
|
|
the specification, headers, or other targets may not have copyrights.
|
|
These are typically very short asciidoc fragments describing parts of
|
|
the Vulkan API, and are incorporated by reference into specification
|
|
or reference page builds.
|
|
* If something is missing a copyright statement and that poses an
|
|
*actual problem* for whatever you're doing, file an issue on GitHub
|
|
and we'll eventually correct it in some fashion.
|
|
|
|
Working with the different Khronos member company IP lawyers to make
|
|
license changes is a very slow process constrained by the Khronos Member
|
|
Agreement and IP Policy as well as by individual company concerns about
|
|
their IP. Do not expect rapid changes in anything having to to with
|
|
copyrights and licensing.
