OSGi-Specification-2.0
OSGi Specification License, Version 2.0.
License Grant
OSGi Alliance (âOSGiâ) hereby grants you a fully-paid, non-exclusive, non-transferable,
worldwide, limited license (without the right to sublicense), under OSGiâs applicable
intellectual property rights to view, download, and reproduce this OSGi Specification
(âSpecificationâ) which follows this License Agreement (âAgreementâ). You are not
authorized to create any derivative work of the Specification. However, to the extent that an
implementation of the Specification would necessarily be a derivative work of the Specification,
OSGi also grants you a perpetual, non-exclusive, worldwide, fully paid-up, royalty free, limited
license (without the right to sublicense) under any applicable copyrights, to create and/or
distribute an implementation of the Specification that: (i) fully implements the Specification
including all its required interfaces and functionality; (ii) does not modify, subset, superset or
otherwise extend the OSGi Name Space, or include any public or protected packages, classes, Java
interfaces, fields or methods within the OSGi Name Space other than those required and authorized
by the Specification. An implementation that does not satisfy limitations (i)-(ii) is not
considered an implementation of the Specification, does not receive the benefits of this license,
and must not be described as an implementation of the Specification. An implementation of the
Specification must not claim to be a compliant implementation of the Specification unless it passes
the OSGi Compliance Tests for the Specification in accordance with OSGi processes. âOSGi Name
Spaceâ shall mean the public class or interface declarations whose names begin with âorg.osgi"
or any recognized successors or replacements thereof.
OSGi Participants (as such term is defined in the OSGi Intellectual Property Rights Policy) have
made non-assert and licensing commitments regarding patent claims necessary to implement the
Specification, if any, under the OSGi Intellectual Property Rights Policy which is available for
examination on the OSGi public web site (www.osgi.org).
