As specified by the COPYING file, fio is free software published under version
|
|
2 of the GPL license. That covers the copying part of the license. When using
|
|
fio, you are encouraged to uphold the following moral obligations:
|
|
|
|
- If you publish results that are done using fio, it should be clearly stated
|
|
that fio was used. The specific version should also be listed.
|
|
|
|
- If you develop features or bug fixes for fio, they should be sent upstream
|
|
for inclusion into the main repository. This isn't specific to fio, that
|
|
is a general rule for any open source project. It's just the Right Thing
|
|
to do. Plus it means that you don't have to maintain the feature or change
|
|
internally. In the long run, this is saving you a lot of time.
|
|
|
|
I would consider the above to fall under "common courtesy", but since
|
|
people tend to have differing opinions of that, it doesn't hurt to spell out
|
|
my expectations clearly.
