IMS Global Learning Consortium, Inc. Caliper Analytics™ APIs are publicly licensed as Open Source Software via the GNU Lesser General Public License, LGPL v3 (https://www.gnu.org/licenses/lgpl.html).
Use of these APIs and/or code libraries does not signify achievement of IMS conformance certification. The official list of conformance certifications is available at http://www.imscert.org.
IMS Global also makes available an Alternative License based on the Apache 2.0 license. Licensees (via the Alternative License) are required to be IMS Global members. Membership in IMS Global is a commitment by a supplier to the IMS community for ongoing support for achieving "plug and play" integration. IMS Global Membership dues pay for ongoing maintenance for the Alternative License to be applicable to updates to the Caliper Analytics APIs and code libraries. The rationale for this dual-license approach and membership component is to help assure a requisite level of ongoing development, project management, and support for the software.
Licensees of IMS Global Caliper Analytics APIs and code libraries are strongly encouraged to become active contributors to the Caliper Analytics project and other projects within IMS Global. Prospective licensees should understand that their initial base contribution and ongoing membership fees are insufficient to fully fund the ongoing development and maintenance of Caliper APIs/code libraries and that voluntary contributions are the primary "fuel" ensuring any open source project's viability. Contributions can include development, bug fixing, bug reporting, performance analysis, and other aspects of the overall development process.
Contributor status at the "Github" level will be individual-based. Contributors will need to sign an IMS Global Contributor License Agreement (CLA) that grants IMS Global a license to contributions. If you are interested in licensing the IMS Global Caliper Analytics APIs/code libraries please email IMS Global (mailto:[email protected]).
