Detailed Description

The branch version are named after 500kV busses on the WECC system.

The following GridLAB-D branches are planned and/or released:

• Allson: this is the developmental release for the charter partners of the initial release
• Buckley: this is the planned first release for the public after the charter partners have completed their first modules.

License

GridLAB-D is provided under a BSD-style license modified appropriately for government-funded software. See legal_license() for details.

The restrictions forbid the removal of the copyright and legal notices. This is not actually a restriction, but a reminder of what goes without saying in a world where common sense is more common.

The restrictions also preclude the use of any contributor's name as an endorsement. This should not be interpreted as an actual restriction either, but a clarification because without the clause, the license does not grant recipients of the software permission to use the licensor's name anyway. But it makes the legal types happy. That's a good thing.

See The GridLAB License for details.
