Module Descriptions

The purpose of this page is to document the rationale, function, and licensing of modules. Please note that while typically modules are licensed under the Berkeley Software Distribution (BSD) license, often modules also contain dependencies that are licensed under different terms. Every effort has been made to ensure that those terms are compatible with BSD and are as permissive as possible for every possible purpose, including commercial purposes. However, it is ultimately the responsibility of Kepler users and developers to ensure that their use and/or extension of the modules that they use and/or develop and that constitute Kepler is compliant with the license terms of not only the BSD license, but the licenses of any third-party dependencies that are included within particular modules. To facilitate such compliance, we have made an effort to document the licenses of such dependencies. However, such documentation merely represents our "best guess" as to the license terms and cannot be relied upon with absolute certainty. Neither the completeness nor accuracy of such documentation is guaranteed and neither the Kepler Project, individual contributors, nor the Regents of the University of California will indemnify those who rely on our documentation efforts, even if we have been informed of such reliance. Users and developers, especially commercial users and developers, have a complete and independent responsibility to investigate the license terms of third-party dependencies and ensure that their own actions are in compliance. 

Module: ptolemy

Module License: BSD

Dependency Licenses: licenses.txt

Function: Provides the build system in the form of a JAR file in kepler-tasks.jar.

Rationale: The build system provides the basic logic for modules and for launching Kepler that is depended upon by other modules and at runtime.

 

Module: configuration-manager

Module License: BSD

Dependency Licenses: licenses.txt

Function: Provides a unified configuration system.

Rationale: The previous configuration system was ad hoc and heterogeneous. This provides a single configuration system that can be relied upon.
