Hello
I'm facing the following.
We want to provide an Open Source extension for our CAN analyzer. It should be able to interpret J1939 CAN messages and show it in a readable format, with exactly the same describing text as used in J1939/71. Now the SAE Copyright text reads as following:
".... republishing SAE copyrighted material in another work... is strictly prohibited."
The question is, is using the information obtained by reading the standard to write a computer program that should be released in source code a kind of "republishing"?
Best regards
Heinz-Juergen Oertel
