Appendix B Libraries Used by Roan

Roan loads the following libraries. Note that it does not include them as part of itself, it merely loads them, typically over the network from Quicklisp’s library server.

While most are in the public domain or offered under a permissive, open source license, some are offered with a copyleft license. This should make no difference for using Roan in the usual way, with the libraries loaded from Quicklisp. But if you distribute something built with Roan and include the libraries in it you will have to pay attention to these licenses and be sure to adhere to them.

Note that several of these libraries in turn load others, if embedding them in something you ship you may need to pay attention to the licenses of things transitively included.

Several further libraries are used in the construction of Roan, but their license terms should not affect those who use or ship Roan itself, except possibly in so far as they need to use them to develop modifications to Roan.

While not loaded during normal use of Roan, when running Roan’s unit tests (see testing) the following library is also loaded and used.

Also while not loaded during normal use of Roan, when building Roan’s documentation (see building) the following libraries are also loaded and used. One of these, too, trivial-documentation, is offered under a copyleft license. To the best of my understanding this should not affect those simply copying or distributing Roan, so long as they do not include a copy of trivial-documentation with it.
