Is your software violating any licensing agreements? List all third-party software you plan to use and ensure that you have the right to use as you plan.
Below is all relevant 3rd-party technology used in this app:
- Django (see here) Django is an Open Source Project. Because, essentially any use of Django is fine. Delta is only using Django as a way to create a backend, so there shall be no conflict with licensing here.
- React (see here) React is owned by facebook, and has an interesting way of licensing. React uses BSD (Berkeley Software Distribution), OSS (Open Source Software) licenses, as well as having a patent document. BSD and OSS are quite permissive, and there are hardly any meaningful restrictions on use. At the moment, there are no hints of difficulties arising due to licensing here. However, since Facebook does own a patent, there are possibilities of patent infringement due to malicious uses of React. Delta has no intentions to violate any terms of Facebook's patent, so we shall be fine here.
- Redux (see here) Redux uses a MIT license, thus allowing for essentially any use. As all of Delta's use cases are strictly professional and make no intentions of infringing on requirements laid out by an MIT license, we will be fine here.
- Django-Rest-Knox (see here) Django-Rest-Knox uses a MIT license, thus allowing for essentially any use. As all of Delta's use cases are strictly professional and make no intentions of infringing on requirements laid out by an MIT license, we will be fine here.
- Chart.js (see here) Chart.js uses a MIT license, thus allowing for essentially any use. As all of Delta's use cases are strictly professional and make no intentions of infringing on requirements laid out by an MIT license, we will be fine here.
- Axios (see here) Axios uses a MIT license, thus allowing for essentially any use. As all of Delta's use cases are strictly professional and make no intentions of infringing on requirements laid out by an MIT license, we will be fine here.
- Bootstrap (see here) Bootstrap uses a MIT license, thus allowing for essentially any use. As all of Delta's use cases are strictly professional and make no intentions of infringing on requirements laid out by an MIT license, we will be fine here.
Are there any intellectual property constraints placed by your client? or by the owner of some dataset you need to use? List them.
The only constraints placed at the moment by the client is to ensure anonymity of any participants in the uploaded datasets. This shall be enforced by not allowing users to enter participant names when writing meta data about their uploads. No other restrictions have been placed yet.
