MIT-TYPE with ADDITIONAL RESTRICTIVE CLAUSE about Breeze implementations in hardware
Copyright (c) 2014 Andreas Briese <[email protected]>, 31157 Sarstedt, Gernmany
ADDITIONAL RESTRICTIVE CLAUSE: Any use of this software, modifications of this software or modifications or extensions of the underlying principle of the Breeze RNG implemented IN HARDWARE needs to be explicitly licensed by the copyright holder Andreas Briese (contact: ab<at>edutoolbox.de).
Permission is hereby granted, free of charge, to any person obtaining a copy of this software and associated documentation files (the "Software"), to deal in the Software without restriction, including without limitation the rights to use, copy, modify, merge, publish, distribute, sublicense, and/or sell copies of the Software, and to permit persons to whom the Software is furnished to do so, subject to the following conditions:
The above copyright notice and this permission notice shall be included in all copies or substantial portions of the Software.
THE SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED "AS IS", WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND NONINFRINGEMENT. IN NO EVENT SHALL THE AUTHORS OR COPYRIGHT HOLDERS BE LIABLE FOR ANY CLAIM, DAMAGES OR OTHER LIABILITY, WHETHER IN AN ACTION OF CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE, ARISING FROM, OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE SOFTWARE OR THE USE OR OTHER DEALINGS IN THE SOFTWARE.
Note:
The purpose of this modified MIT LICENSE with ADDITIONAL RESTRICTIVE CLAUSE shall allow a unrestricted use by developers on any software platform. In case of the implementation of Breeze or it's underlying logic in RNG hardware (for example but not limited to encryption chips or PIN number generators) the producer of such hardware needs to document the proper implementation to become licensed. This takes into account that improper or wrong implementation of Breeze in hardware might decrease the quality of the the resulting random number stream.
Important Note 2014/10/30:
Breeze had not been cryptoanalysed.
It is definitly not recommended to use Breeze and it's Hash() or XOR() functions in particular in any security sensitive or
cryptographic context.
