Free License Letter

Free License Letter

In order to regulate the usage of the OSEK/VDX specifications and to grant the right for companies to use them free of charge, the OSEK/VDX Steering Committee decided to develop the Free License Letter.

The signing OSEK/VDX partners and associated partners offer copyrights, patents and other industrial property rights owned by one or more of the OSEK/VDX partners and associated partners on a on-exclusive, royalty-free license base in order to use the specification defined by the OSEK/VDX Standard as detailed in Annex II to this declaration for the implementation of the OSEK/VDX Standard or parts of it in automotive products.

All OSEK/VDX partners or associated partners are asked to sign Annex I of the Free License Letter, returning it to Mr. Vondracek:
