License terms

The license terms for all software components owned by limes datentechnik gmbh(R)
can be found in LICENSE(.txt) in the installation folder doc/txt or in the
partitioned dataset HLQ.FLAM.DOCTXT. Additional license information for
external libraries used by this software can be found in ABOUT(.txt).
The replacement of external libraries (LGPL) is described following the
changelog in the file README(.txt). All license terms of the external
libraries are included as files (LICxxxxx(.txt)) in doc/txt folder
or in HLQ.FLAM.DOCTXT partitioned dataset.

All old FLAM components till version 4 are completely owned by limes
datentechnik gmbh (R). Only on Linux systems the glibc is used in
unmodified form as prerequisite (part of the operating system, not part
of the distribution) based on the LGPL license. The old FLAM4 components
don't provide additional about and version commands or functions.

The service provider interfaces (exits, extensions) of FLAM are owned
completely by limes datantechnik gmbh(R) and provided to our users for
individual extension to this software. The driver is conforming to this
license terms but LIMES(R) is not responsible for such individual
implementations which are not part of our distributen. Our own
implementations against these SPIs (e.g. FAVECAV, PKCS#11, IBM-CCA/ICSF)
are in sync with the stated license terms here.

A lot of this information is generated in the package build process
and can be requested over the corresponding built-in commands of our
utilities or the corresponding functions of the APIs. To request
the current valid state, please use the command or functions below
(there are more APIs with analog functions available):

------------------------------------------------------------------------
 COMMAND            API 1      API 2      ...   API n
 > &{pgm} license   fcblic()   FCRLIC()   ...   fliconv_license()
 > &{pgm} about     fcbabo()   FCRABO()   ...   fliconv_about()
 > &{pgm} version   fcbvsn()   FCRVSN()   ...   fliconv_version()
------------------------------------------------------------------------

The about and version information are also added as appendix to the
manual's provided by limes datentechnik gmbh(R).

The version information contains version, release and revision number of
each component followed by the current build number. The versioning of
the different components is independent of each other. The build number
must be the same for each component and must correspond to the build
number of the installation package. If the build number is not identical
for all compiled and linked components, then the installation is wrong. 

Replace external libraries

External libraries under LGPL are linked in dynamic form and can be
replaced by another dynamic library which fulfills the corresponding
interface. This can be done by deleting the library in the program
directory if the replacement library is located in the library path
or by overwriting the library in the program directory. The list below
contains all LGPL based libraries used by FL5 per platform.

glibc on Linux:
   This library is part of the operating system and a prerequisite to
   run the FL5 infrastructure on Linux systems. FL5 can be used with
   different version and distributions of linux. Replacement of glibc
   will be done by the normal update process of your linux installation.

libfuse on Unix:
   This library is part of the operating system and a prerequisite to
   run the FL5 file systems on Linux systems. The file systems are
   delivered for libfuse version 2 and 3. Replacement of libfuse
   will be done by the normal update process of your Unix installation.

libssh:
   The libssh library can be found in the installation directory. A
   customized version is used that is not compatible with the official
   libssh releases. The modified libssh source can be found at:
   https://github.com/limes-datentechnik-gmbh/libssh

NOTE: In all cases we recommend using the tested and supported
libraries from this package. If a supplied library is replaced, the
license terms and warranty of the new library become valid, replacing
the license and warranty of the replaced library.
