Hi - I'm confused by the last line in the Readme file where it states: "For runtime dispatching, we use some code from the PyTorch project licensed under 3-clause BSD." My concern was mainly if there was were BSD license-annotations for specific files or code that isn't shown on Github, which anyone linking against simdjson would be responsible for handling. As an extension, there are mentions of other MIT and permissive license code bundled in - does a "Notice" file or some tracking of the other licenses and their copyright statements exist? (As I wasn't able to find them). |

Here is the statement "For runtime dispatching, we use some code from the PyTorch project licensed under 3-clause BSD." The code in question is found here: simdjson/include/simdjson/internal/instruction_set.h Lines 1 to 45 in d84c934
I believe that you have seen our licensing documentation as part of our README: 
If you have concerns, I recommend you consult your legal department. We always happy to receive pull requests.
The simdjson library is a community-based project. If you'd like to contribute such documentation, it would be great. Please submit a pull request. |

Thank you so much for your reply Daniel! I was interested in ensuring the appropriate accreditation was given to the simdjson project - and it was the other license portions (that you've already answered) which brought up some questions. As for contributing documentation, absolutely! If I get a chance I'll aim to create a "Licenses.md" file which would contain the list of code files with the alternative permissive licenses + their respective copyright statements and license-text and send it up as a pull-request. Though I also noticed in the HACKING.md that the simdjson.h and simdjson.cpp files are generated, which I could check for any bundled code that is Boost (string-view implementation), or BSD from other code. *Update: Sadly, my current responsibilities don't leave a lot of room for pursuing this contribution to comb through the many files. Perhaps someone else in the community who does have time may do so. |
