OpenRoots

Permissive

OpenRoots and BSD 3-Clause License

In freely. Not out without separate relicensing.

Inbound

yes

BSD-3-Clause material entering an OpenRoots work

Notice preservation plus a no-endorsement clause. Neither constrains the outer licence. The no-endorsement clause is compatible with the OpenRoots trademark position, which is stricter in the same direction.

Outbound

no

OpenRoots material entering a BSD-3-Clause project

Same reasoning as MIT. BSD promises royalty-free use; the Canopy tier may not be royalty-free.

Mechanism

Where the pairing holds and where it breaks.

A matrix cell tells you the answer. These are the clauses that produce it.

Derivative works

One combined, distributable artifact.

The combined work carries the OpenRoots instrument; BSD notices and the no-endorsement clause are preserved.

Composite distribution

Both shipped side by side, not merged.

Straightforward. Both notices sit in the NOTICE file.

Patent position

Express grants and termination triggers.

BSD-3-Clause grants no express patent licence. OpenRoots carries its own patent terms for the OpenRoots portion only.

The royalty

Where the Canopy obligation bites.

Attaches to the OpenRoots portion. The BSD portion does not enlarge the base.

Current permanent terms

What holds for as long as the release exists.

No automatic conversion occurs. The BSD portion remains BSD and the OpenRoots portion remains OpenRoots.
