Licensing

Preface

This page contains information about the licensing schemes used over the years for ERIKA2, ERIKA3 and OpenERIKA.

OpenERIKA and OpenDruid Licensing

OpenERIKA and OpenDruid are licensed under the AUTOSAR APD License. You can check the license text here.

ERIKA v3 Licensing

ERIKA v3 was distributed under the following three licensing schemes:

We considered the first option as ideal for research and development: you could in fact study and change the code at your will, "under the hat" of the GPL license. Please note that linking closed source application code to the GPLv2 version makes the code GPLv2 as well. In order not to be obliged to open you code, the second and third option were available.

The license of RT-Druid v3 can be downloaded at this link.

ERIKA v2 Licensing

ERIKA v2 is distributed under the GPLv2 + linking exception license. RT-Druid v2 is distributed under the EPL license.

For more information, please click here.

Note that the code base is the union of contributions from various authors; we have no plans to change the licensing scheme of ERIKA v2.

The codebase of ERIKA v3 is a complete rewrite of the codebase of ERIKA v2 (there is no code in ERIKA v3 derived from code of ERIKA v2).
