Preamble: B-Human releases most of the software it uses at RoboCup competitions to allow teams participating in the Standard Platform League that do not have the resources to develop a complete robot soccer system on their own, but still have important contributions to make to the goals of RoboCup. We intend to enable such teams to benchmark their own scientific approaches in RoboCup competitions. We also hope that the scientific community will benefit from their work through the publication of their findings. A second reason for B-Human releasing its code is that source code is the most solid documentation of how problems were actually solved.

Parts of this distribution were not developed by B-Human. This license doesn't apply to these parts, the rights of the copyright owners remain.

Redistribution and use in source and binary forms, with or without modification, are permitted provided that the following conditions are met:

  1. Redistributions of source code must retain the above copyright notice, this list of conditions and the following disclaimer.

  2. Redistributions in binary form must reproduce the above copyright notice, this list of conditions and the following disclaimer in the documentation and/or other materials provided with the distribution.

  3. The end-user documentation included with the redistribution, if any, must include the following acknowledgment: "This product includes software developed by B-Human (http://www.b-human.de)." Alternately, this acknowledgment may appear in the software itself, if and wherever such third-party acknowledgments normally appear.

  4. To use parts of this B-Human code release in a RoboCup competition, participating teams must fulfill the following conditions (if applicable):

    • The usage of this version of the code release must be announced on the SPL mailing list (currently [email protected]) at least one month before the first competition in which it is used. The announcement shall name which parts of this code are used.

    If the code usage is not limited to single components, such as the ball detection or the self-localization, but consists of major parts of the B-Human system, we consider the team to use "derived software" and the following additional conditions apply:

    • The announcement on the SPL mailing list shall also contain a description of the own contribution that addresses the criteria set by the SPL rule book (in the 2024 SPL rules described in section A.1 of https://spl.robocup.org/wp-content/uploads/SPL-Rules-2024.pdf).

    • For each year, the derived software as used in the last RoboCup competition game in that year, including the contributions previously announced, must be publicly released as source code. The release must be licensed such that other RoboCup teams can use it, although it may place conditions on the use (such as this license). The release must be published and announced on the SPL mailing list by the end of that year.
