The OpenFOAM-Extend Project | ||
Web site: http://www.extend-project.de/ | ||
The goal of the OpenFOAM -Extend Project is to open the OpenFOAM CFD toolbox | ||
to community contributed extensions in the spirit of the Open Source | ||
development model. | ||
Software under the name OpenFOAM has been developed by a large group of | ||
volunteers starting in 1991 and has spread through scientific and engineering | ||
community in the late 1990s and early 2000s. Its main strength was the spirit | ||
of open collaboration in the community: the aim of the OpenFOAM-Extend Project | ||
is to formalize this spirit. | ||
* Trademark notice | ||
Currently, the word "OpenFOAM" is held as a trademark by a commercial | ||
company, not associated with the Open Source development effort of this | ||
software. While the author acknowledges the existence of Trademark, | ||
association of trademarked phrase with the the code developed by third | ||
parties and including the author is misleading in terms of authorship, | ||
ownership of intellectual property of the source code. | ||
In the absence of a legal resolution, we shall refer to the project as the | ||
-Extend project and software as "OpenFOAM", as per agreement between | ||
Prof. Hrvoje Jasak and Mr. Henry G. Weller of 30 September 2004. | ||
The excerpts below are from the correspondences of Dr.Jasak and are to | ||
his knowledge all the relevant writings about this topic. Although | ||
this topic has been discussed before in public forums there exists no | ||
'official' answer by OpenCFD on this issue. In the interest of | ||
fairness a reference (link) to such an answer will be added to this | ||
document as soon as we come aware of it. | ||

Dear Dr. Jasak, | ||
I propose that we make FOAM open-source and shutdown Nabla, that way we | ||
are free to pursue whatever future we wish independently. | ||

Managing Director | ||
Nabla Ltd | ||
The first release of the OpenFOAM source code of 10 December 2004 | ||
and subsequent clarification of 16 February 2005. | ||
Hi Henry, | ||
... | ||
Regarding the new setup, I would like to thank you for your effort i | ||
n making FOAM public domain, with crucial comments regarding some | ||
important details. | ||
- in the header files for the open version of foam there exists a line | ||
which claims copyright for OpenCFD Ltd: | ||
Copyright (C) 1991-2004 OpenCFD Ltd. | ||
I am not sure whether it is possible to claim copyright over a GPL piece | ||
of software, but this is at least misleading. In order for this | ||
statement to be true, OpenCFD Ltd. would need to purchase the copyright | ||
from Nabla Ltd. and from you and me personally (due to unresolved | ||
ownership and the remaining payments Nabla Ltd. needs to make to us | ||
regarding the original transfer of copyright). I can offer a number | ||
of solutions acceptable to me as follows: | ||
1) no Copyright statement apart from the required GPL statement | ||
2) Copyright OpenFOAM.org | ||
3) Copyright Henry Weller, Hrvoje Jasak et al | ||
4) Copyright OpenCFD and Hrvoje Jasak | ||
5) List of authors instead of the copyright statement | ||
I am also prepared to consider any other reasonable ideas along the same | ||
lines (including the sale of copyright, which would be a bit pointless | ||
at this stage) - please advise. | ||

Under the GPL there has to be an organization in place to enforce the GPL | ||
if there are violation, these are part of the rules. OpenCFD undertakes | ||
that responsibility hence the copyright. | ||
Henry G. Weller | ||
Managing Director | ||
12 November 2010 | ||
From the above it is clear that OpenCFD does not own the rights or | ||
authorship of the source code, which is currently concealed in public. | ||
For further details, I have been attempting to get a formal response by | ||
this company for 6 years now, without success. It is time to move on. | ||
The current Copyright notice does not fairly describe the authorship of | ||
the software. In the spirit of the open source development model, the | ||
-Extend project wishes to formally acknowledge all contributors and | ||
developers of OpenFOAM from its inception to today. | ||
As this issue still remains unresolved, and the list of contributors | ||
has been removed from the OpenFOAM source code by Mr. Weller in 2006, | ||
we shall re-base OpenFOAM as an Open Source community-based project | ||
and associate the authorship and Copyright in each case with the | ||
original author. | ||
