Jun 25, 2008license agreement on iControl.jar
What is the licensing agreement on iControl.jar? I'm planning on using this library in our application so that we can interface with the f5 server that is running on our customer site.

Are you referring to the iControl.jar that is on the iControl Assembly downloads page? Actually it really doesn't matter as the same license applies to all code released on this site. It's in all the source distributions as headers in the files, but here's a copy if you don't have access to any of the sources

Basically it boils down to the fact that you can feel free to use the library where you want but you can't market it as your own and if you resell it as a part of your application, you'll need to give us credit somewhere.
Does that answer you question? Let me know if you need more details.
