This code is BSD-style licensed. Novell owns the copyright which makes it no different than anybody else owning copyrights to portions of the Ganglia code whether it is a corporation or an individual. There is no affiliation with Microsoft or anybody else. Plain and simple, this is BSD licensed open source code. Use it how you like. The conditions are solely to retain the copyright and license, that's it. Nothing else, no strings attached :) Brad > > > #* Portions Copyright (C) 2007 Novell, Inc.
