The scripts/python/module/nut_telnetlib.py file is copied for fall-back
purposes from Python 3.10, and released under its original license (the
PSF License Version 2). It was only modified in the comment section to
describe the copy, purpose and provenance per section 3 of the license.
According to https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/3.10/LICENSE most of
the licenses Python was provided under over the years are GPL-compatible.
Other files in the scripts/python/ directory are released under GNU General
Public License (GPL) version 3, or (at your option) any later version. See
"LICENSE-GPL3" in the root of this distribution.
The Perl client module (scripts/perl/Nut.pm) is released under the same
license as Perl itself. That is to say either GPL version 1 or (at your option)
any later version, or the "Artistic License".
The scripts/installer contents were donated to the Network UPS Tools project
by Eaton in 2022, including the license change from the one originally used
with their software companion to terms of the open-source project (that is,
GPL version 2 or newer).
Several fallback implementations for methods absent from standard library of
an end-user's current build platform are derived from source code available
under the two-clause BSD license (common/strptime.c, common/strnlen.c)
Various methods may be adapted from code or ideas posted on Stack Exchange
sites (comments in NUT sources refer to original posts in this case), which
according to https://stackoverflow.com/help/licensing are made available under
different Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike license (CC BY-SA) versions
depending on contribution timestamp.
Several autoconf methods under m4/ directory are derived from curl codebase
and were originally available under curl license. Which is not unlike the MIT
license, see https://daniel.haxx.se/blog/2022/06/17/curl-is-reuse-compliant/
To the best of our knowledge, conditions of the 2/3-clause BSD, MIT, curl and
CC BY-SA licenses allow redistribution and reuse of the codebase in projects
made available under GPL license terms, as long as attribution is provided.
NUT contributors are encouraged to "sign off" their git commits as a conscious
act done under Developer's Certificate of Origin. See the copy of "LICENSE-DCO"
in the root of this distribution, but please note that it is not a "license" on
its own - rather a proclamation that work was done and submitted according to
applicable open-source licenses.
