FAST C++ open-source contribution
Dimitry London / Morgan Stanley <>
19 Mar 2008 9:31AM ETHi,
Morgan Stanley has developed lightweight C++ implementation that supports most of the encoding/decoding features of FAST protocol. The implementation also supports loading FAST configuration from an XML file.
We would like to contribute this C++ code as an open-source contribution under the terms of public GPL license - so that any subsequent changes would have to be made in the source code form (not just binary extension). GPL is the requirement for a number of reasons, not only from our own code perspective but also because other opensource libraries (such as libxml) come under GPL and may be incompatible with license(s) that allow changes without releasing the actual source code.
Is it possible to make a contribution under GPL license (as I described above), or is the FPL license required for any such a contribution?
Thanks very much,
Dimitry
