Which license has agent binary?

Post by Andrei.L »

Hi,

I have not found on the yourkit.com website under which license are the agent library and controller API jars distributed. I'm also missing a dedicated download for those, they seem be always a part of the whole.

The question was if we can package & redistribute those libraries with our own product, so that customers can create yourkit snapshots which we can analyze.

Also the question if the data collected with an older version of yourkit agent is still supported by the later versions - means, if we have to keep all possible yourkit installations alive if we want support customers in the long term.

Many thanks for the great product!
Regards,
Andrey

There is a license-redist.txt file in a profiler installation directory. This is a BSD-like license
The following files can be redistributed under the license below:

yjpagent.dll
libyjpagent.so
libyjpagent.jnilib
yjp-controller-api-redist.jar

We try to keep backward compatibility for snapshots, i.e. new profiler versions are able to open snapshots from old agent. But this compatibility is not guarantied.
