[kepler-users] Is Kepler OEM-Ready

Dear Madhavi,

That is a fascinating, and very pointed, question.  As an open source
project, and as a software system that explicitly has built an
infrastructure to allow 3rd parties to build their own modules, Kepler is
nicely situated for 3rd parties to build high quality extensions that work
well with other modules.  Kepler's release as an open source code base in
particular makes it straightforward for any interested party to fully
understand how the software works and whether a particular module is
implemented well.  However, Kepler is also explicitly licensed under the BSD
license with explicit disclaimers of warranty and fitness for purpose.  This
is the opposite of certification.  So I would have to conclude that it does
not follow certification model that you describe.
