[Quickfix-users] License questions

[Daniel L. <da...@lu...>]

Hi,

I've written (part of) a FIX parser generated using the XML files from
QuickFIX (http://www.quickfixengine.org/xml.html).

What license are those files released under?

I.e.

1. if I make make repository public what limitations do I have on licensing?

2. can I include the xml files with my distribution as is or do I have
to provide a link for any users of my library to download them
themselves?

3. do I have to include the "This product includes software developed
by quickfixengine.org"?

4. if the answer to the previous question is no; do you recommend it?

5 I have also included a copy of your test files (only the test files
themselves, none of the framework) in my (as of yet private)
repository.  What is your take on me making the repository public?

a. I should remove them from my repository completely (i.e. to the
point of rewriting the history so that they were never there).
b. as long as I remove them from the current HEAD of master, you would
be ok with them being in the git history.
c. I can keep them as they are with some file telling what version of
quickfix they are from.
d. Other

I don't really know under what license I'd want to release this thing
under, but I'd probably either do a dual license Affero GNU GPL /
private commercial, or an MIT or public domain release. Depending on
what I feel like when the time comes.

Just wanting to do the right thing with regards to you guys.

Cheers,

Daniel
