ArtopAUTOSAR ToolPlatformJune 25th,2009Page 9Artop User Group.Overview and License.– AUTOSAR regulations prevent the disclosure of unpublishedAUTOSAR specifications to non-AUTOSAR members.– Therefore Artop cannot be an Eclipse project– and a separate organization is necessary to host thedevelopment of Artop the Artop User Group.– Due to these reasons Artop uses its own software license that isaligned with the concepts of the EPL, it contains the sameelements that are crucial for a successful ecosystem:– The platform can be commercially distributed.– It can be extended with commercial plug-ins.– It is available free-of-charge to the Artop / AUTOSARcommunity.– Changes are contributed back.– Additionally the Artop license allows for the contribution of codethat is not based on AUTOSAR to Eclipse. That means movingcertain parts of Artop to Eclipse is possible.
