Hi guys,
Our antlr package has "Public Domain" in the License tag. However the author does add some conditions for credit being given, headers in source files be kept, etc. Please see the LICENSE.txt and README.txt files.
This is what probably caused SPDX to create a specific "license" denomination for this:
ANTLR Software Rights Notice <https://spdx.org/licenses/ANTLR-PD.html> |ANTLR-PD|
Note: There is no reference to this license or anything specific to Antlr in OSI.
Although it is true that it is public domain, we need to make sure his credit and header conditions are met.
Should we add an Antlr license to our table and change the package to use it on the next update?
Should we use the SPDX "ANTLR Software Rights Notice" and as short name "ANTLR PD"?
Or should we ignore all these details and just keep it as "Public Domain" ? Contents of LICENSE.txt for your convenience: ------------------------------------------------------------- SOFTWARE RIGHTS ANTLR 1989-2006 Developed by Terence Parr Partially supported by University of San Francisco & jGuru.com We reserve no legal rights to the ANTLR--it is fully in the public domain. An individual or company may do whatever they wish with source code distributed with ANTLR or the code generated by ANTLR, including the incorporation of ANTLR, or its output, into commerical software. We encourage users to develop software with ANTLR. However, we do ask that credit is given to us for developing ANTLR. By "credit", we mean that if you use ANTLR or incorporate any source code into one of your programs (commercial product, research project, or otherwise) that you acknowledge this fact somewhere in the documentation, research report, etc... If you like ANTLR and have developed a nice tool with the output, please mention that you developed it using ANTLR. In addition, we ask that the headers remain intact in our source code. As long as these guidelines are kept, we expect to continue enhancing this system and expect to make other tools available as they are completed.
