1 | As specified by the COPYING file, fio is free software published under version |
2 | 2 of the GPL license. That covers the copying part of the license. By using fio, | |
3 | you are also promising to uphold the following moral obligations: | |
4 | ||
5 | - If you publish results that are done using fio, it must be clearly stated | |
6 | that fio was used. The specific version should also be listed. | |
7 | ||
8 | - If you develop features or bug fixes for fio, they should be sent upstream | |
9 | for inclusion into the main repository. This isn't specific to fio, that | |
10 | is a general rule for any open source project. It's just the Right Thing | |
11 | to do. Plus it means that you don't have to maintain the feature or change | |
12 | internally. In the long run, this is saving you a lot of time. | |
13 | ||
14 | I would consider the above to fall under "common courtesy", but since | |
15 | people tend to have differing opinions of that, it doesn't hurt to spell out | |
16 | my expectations clearly. | |
