Instructions for Use

A-SIT offers the tools to both public administrations and the private sector. These tools are available for free under an open source license model. An Apache Software Foundation (Version 2.0) style license model is used, see http://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0.

The following requirements apply:

  • The open source license refers only to those modules, where A-SIT is holding the rights.
  • Rights of some of the offered tools are held by the Austrian Federal Chancellery http://www.bka.gv.at/ and the tools are offered by A-SIT for download. The Federal Chancellery offers the modules under a similar open source license model. Hence an analogous licensing model is available for these tools.
  • Beside basic libraries, which are also offered under free software licenses, some tools are using crypto libraries which rights are held by Stiftung Secure Information and Communication Technologies http://www.sic.st. For those libraries licenses for non-commercial and research purposes with waived license fees exist.
  • The licensee needs to take care himself of getting the necessary licenses of any third party modules where A-SIT does not hold the rights.
  • The licensee needs to take care himself of operating the tools in his own environment or for any adaptations of the software to his environment.

The offered modules and tools are demonstrators which did not undergo professional test and quality assurance processes of modules used under production conditions. The modules and tools are therefore provided without any guarantees, warranty, or liability.

In case tools which are based on A-SIT work are applied in other systems we ask for an appropriate statement of the original source (e.g. as acknowledgement in your result).

Some tools are not yet available for download for installation in local environments or the source code is not yet provided. In case you are interested in any such tool, please contact technology@a-sit.at.
