Contributor License Agreement¶
Currently, the main development of pySPACE happens at the German Research Center for Artificial Intelligence (DFKI GmbH), Robotics Innovation Center, Bremen (DFKI RIC). To avoid legal issues with intellectual property rights, and to keep the possibility to change the license in future versions, we followed the concept by the Webyog company which developed MySQL.
If you want to contribute to pySPACE, we kindly ask you to fill out

External Licenses¶
A few parts of this framework come from external sources. Every external source should be declared separately in the corresponding files. In the following there are some examples of external sources. All external code components should be marked as such and contain their license or reference. If not, please inform the developers such they can change this.
MDP¶
pySPACE partially uses and changes code of the MDP framework (version 3.1).
This is done in base_node
(signal_node.py)
and
node_chain
(mdp flow)
and
scikit_nodes
(scikit_nodes.py)
