Preamble: B-Human releases most of the software it uses at RoboCup competitions to allow teams participating in the Standard Platform League that do not have the resources to develop a complete robot soccer system on their own, but still have important contributions to make to the goals of RoboCup. We intend to enable such teams to benchmark their own scientific approaches in RoboCup competitions. We also hope that the scientific community will benefit from their work through the publication of their findings. A second reason for B-Human releasing its code is that source code is the most solid documentation of how problems were actually solved.

Parts of this distribution were not developed by B-Human. This license doesn't apply to these parts, the rights of the copyright owners remain.

Redistribution and use in source and binary forms, with or without modification, are permitted provided that the following conditions are met:

  1. Redistributions of source code must retain the above copyright notice, this list of conditions and the following disclaimer.

  2. Redistributions in binary form must reproduce the above copyright notice, this list of conditions and the following disclaimer in the documentation and/or other materials provided with the distribution.

  3. The end-user documentation included with the redistribution, if any, must include the following acknowledgment: "This product includes software developed by B-Human (http://www.b-human.de)." Alternately, this acknowledgment may appear in the software itself, if and wherever such third-party acknowledgments normally appear.

  4. If the source code or parts of the source code shall be used for a RoboCup competition, the competing program must differ in at least multiple major parts from the original distribution. "Major parts" means own contributions to the RoboCup goal, which are potentially publishable and usually manifest themselves as new modules (i.e. source code) and not just as a parameterization of existing technology (e.g. walking parameters, kicks, behavior options).

  5. For each B-Human code release from which parts are used in a RoboCup competition, the usage shall be announced in the SPL mailing list (currently [email protected]) one month before the first competition in which you are using it. The announcement shall name which parts of this code are used. It shall also contain a description of the own contribution that addresses the criterions mentioned above.

  6. If you are using this source code or parts of this source code and happen to meet members of B-Human at a RoboCup competition, please provide these members with a few bottles of your favorite beer.

  7. Bug fixes regarding existing code shall be sent back to B-Human via GitHub pull request (https://github.com/bhuman).
