Greetings!
Could you please clarify which licence applies to B.A.T.M.A.N?
batman.c states it's GPL v2. The site (https://www.open-mesh.net)
suggests it's Creative Commons
(http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/) which forbids
commercial use.
Why do I ask? We are an ISP in Pereslavl-Zalessky, Russia and look
towards converting our little multispot WiFi network into a mesh. Yes
we are commercial, but built entirely on free software. May I use
B.A.T.M.A.N as a routing protocol?
Thanks,
-- Yury

Hello Yury -
the software is GPL'ed - the documentation is under Creative Commons. I
see that the website doesn't make this clear enough, so we have changed
the note regarding the creative commons. You are not allowed to charge
money from others for selling/redistributing our *documentation*. You
can share it on a non-commercial base with everyone for sure.
You are welcome using our software for community, civil - non
surveillance - and commercial use. If you have any further questions we
are happy to ask them. Comments, experiences are welcome.
Happy routing!

:-)
I downloaded batman-III-0.2.0a and searched for the license. The software
was "shipped" not including the GPL text. Is that GPL conform?
Ok, not really shipped, I downloaded it from openmesh.net. Never mind, it
should be in the tar. BTW, batman.c says it is GPL2.
yours,
yky
