I-Doser Version 4.5

I-Doser uses SBaGen as its binaural beat engine. SBaGen's source code has always been licensed by its author (Jim Peters) under the GNU GPLv2. Up until June 2007, I-Doser was distributed in violation of SBaGen's license. However, an agreement was reached between Jim Peters and I-Doser in June 2007, as below.

In June 2007, Jim Peters (SBaGen author) and I-Doser agreed as follows:

Jim Peters grants a linking exclusion to I-Doser.com to to allow them to link their closed source application against a sbagen-derived DLL in exchange for prominent links from the I-Doser site, from the C-Net download.com page (or whichever site is used for the downloads) and from the I-Doser application itself to this page on the SBaGen site: http://uazu.net/sbagen/i-doser.html (for example, a "Powered by SBaGen" link, or whatever). The linking exclusion is conditional on the maintenance of those links.

Apart from the specific linking exclusion granted above, all terms of the GPL must be adhered to. These include (but are not limited to): making it clear to users of the application that it is based on open-source code, and that the source code is available to them; and including the complete sbagen-derived source code with the application or making it available as a separate unrestricted download. 

I-Doser paid Jim Peters a one-off payment of $1000 as token (symbolic) damages for the misuse of his code over the period of time that I-Doser was distributed in violation of its license.

Please note that this agreement does not apply to newer versions of SBaGen (version 1.4.4R and above) which have a shared copyright due to substantial contributions from others.
