-===========================
-Taler licensing information
-===========================
-
-This file gives an overview of all Taler component's licensing and of
-runtime dependencies thereof. For "component" here is meant a set of
-source files which can be retrieved from a single repository.  If
-components consist of sources under different licensing regimes, i.e.
-because we want to enable third party developments to easily integrate
-with Taler, those are described as well.
-
-All components are generally released under Lesser GPL, GPL or Affero
-GPL.  The main strategy is for libraries that third parties may need
-to integrate with Taler to be under LGPL, standalone binaries and
-testcases to be under GPL, and Web servers implementing Web services
-to be under AGPL.

-API (git://taler.net/api)
-+++++++++++++++++++++++++
-
-The specification has been jointly developed by INRIA and by individuals
-being under the juridical subject called 'GNUnet e.V.'. For each source
-file, the header indicated whose is holding the copyright, since some
-parts have been taken "verbatim" from the GNUnet e.V. foundation, and
-some other have been developed at INRIA "ex novo".
-
-Generally, GNU GPLv3 license is used for them; see COPYING.GPL.
-
-
---------------------
-Runtime dependencies
---------------------
-This component has no runtime dependencies as it is supposed to generate
-HTML.

-Firefox/Android/Python Wallet (git://taler.net/wallet)
-++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
-
-This project includes contributions from INRIA and GNUnet
-e.V. developers.  Please refer to each source file to obtain
-information about the copyright holder. The GNU GPLv3 is used as the
-license for Wallets.  Some components may be under the LGPL.

---------------------
-Runtime dependencies
---------------------
-
-The following list encompasses all the runtime dependencies for this
-project, and gives the copyright holder for each of them:
-
-* libgnunetutil: GPLv3+, GNUnet e.V.
-* libgnunetjson: GPLv3+, GNUnet e.V.
-* libgcrypt: LGPL, Free Software Foundation
-* libunistring: LGPL, Free Software Foundation
-* Python:   Python Software Foundation License, LGPL-Compatible, Python Software Foundation
-* Mozilla Firefox:   Mozilla Public License, LGPL-Compatible, Mozilla Foundation

-WebExtensions Wallet (git://taler.net/wallet-webex)
-+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
-
-The TypeScript code was developed 100% at INRIA, but the project
-involves compiling libgnunetutil and libtalerutil to JavaScript, and
-thus depends on software from GNUnet e.V.
-
-Each source carries its own copyright holder(s), but it is generally
-licensed under GPLv3+.

-* libgnunetjson: GPLv3+, GNUnet e.V.
-* libgcrypt: LGPL, Free Software Foundation
-* libunistring: LGPL, Free Software Foundation
-
-Note that these dependencies are compiled into the extension and do
-not appear as separate binary files.

-Merchant (git://taler.net/merchant)
-+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
-
-This project contains code under two different licenses, and whose
-copyright is held by INRIA and/or GNUnet e.V..  Please refer to each
-source file to know which party holds the copyright.
-
-Source files are located in the following directories:
-
-* src/lib/
-* src/backend/
-* src/backenddb/
-* src/include/
-* src/tests/
-* examples/blog/
-* examples/shop/
-* copylib/
-
-In examples/blog/articles/ we included a book by Richard Stallman.
-It comes with its own permissive license (see COPYING in the
-directory).
-
-
-The merchant's backend (i.e. all the code in src/backend/) is under
-the GNU Affero GPL as it depends on libgnunetutil.  Note that the use
-of the Affero GPL has little impact as the backend is not supposed to
-be directly accessible to the Internet).  The license for this code is
-in COPYING.GPL and COPYING.AGPL.
-
-The merchant's frontend logic (i.e. JavaScript interacting with
-the wallet, sample code for a shop) is under the GNU LGPL (but
-we may choose to change this to be in the public domain or
-BSD-licensed if necessary; the code is so short that there is
-anyway the question whether it is copyrightable).  Under this same
-license, it comes the merchant library (src/lib/) as it can be linked
-with more diverse licensed software.  The license text for this code
-is in COPYING.LGPL.

-for the bank is to use the Affero GPLv3+.

-Exchange (git://taler.net/exchange)
-+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
-
-This component is based on code initially developed in Munich for
-GNUnet e.V.  Most recent improvements and maintenance has been done at
-Inria.  The copyright is thus shared between both institutions.
-
-The licensing for exported libraries to access the exchange is LGPL,
-the exchange itself is under AGPL, and testcases and standalone
-binaries are under GPL.
