docs: provide gpl exception for hardware sdks #513

Closed alandtse closed 2 weeks ago

alandtse commented 2 weeks ago

Given #504, we need to approve an expanded exception for our use of GPL3. Essentially, if CS incorporates any hardware vendor SDKS, (e.g., Nvidia DLSS), those are generally not compatible with GPL since they are proprietary and do not allow sharing of source code. This exception excludes those SDKS from the GPL3 requirements.

You are tagged as a contributor of code to CS, please Approve. Approved: @doodlum @alandtse @Pentalimbed @ThePagi @TKCen @CiMaWi @FlayaN @Andersw88 @thorwin99 @H4vC @langfod @AceAmir @Jonahex @TheRiverwoodModder Pending: @ffarrell17 - imgui work/refactoring @jeanluciano - Ok without; pr reverted #38 @rjwignar - Ok without; CI work; refactoring @LaoBro - Ok without; minor changes #44 @ceejbot - Ok without; contribution wasn't cpp #47

Please note, while I tagged everyone who has added code, we may proceed without your Approval if we determine we do not need your approval. But it's nice to have everyone on board.
