@ -4,78 +4,40 @@ Memory Pool System Kit Open Source License
This is the license under which the Memory Pool System Kit is available as
open source.
**It is not the only way the MPS is licensed.**
The open source license for the MPS is the `2-Clause BSD License`_.
If the licensing terms aren't suitable for you (for example, you're
developing a closed-source commercial product or a compiler run-time
system) you can easily license the MPS under different terms from
Ravenbrook. Please write to us at `<mps-questions@ravenbrook.com>`_
for more information.
The open source license for the MPS is the `Sleepycat License`_ also
known as the "Berkeley Database License". This license is
`GPL compatible`_ and `OSI approved`_. The MPS is "multi licensed" in
a manner similar to MySQL.
This license applies to all material published in public MPS repositories by
Ravenbrook Limited proir to 2020-05-01 marked with the earlier
`Sleepycat License`_. Such material is hereby relicensed under the
`2-Clause BSD License`_.

that the Dylan program is not providing memory management services. For
the avoidance of doubt, this exemption does not apply to software
directly using a copy of the Memory Pool System received as part of the
Open Dylan source code.
