BSD 3-Clause and HTML Output in a prototype evaluation application

Community Support
1

Hello,
Situation:

  • I am developing a prototype application for work (likely considered commercial setting) that utilizes Bokeh library.
  • This app generates HTML visualization output that displays proprietary information - to share for evaluation.
  • The HTML file with visualizations has the Bokeh icon (link to Bokeh) in the visualization itself + a note the information is proprietary.
  • I am not sharing binary code or anything like that - just the HTML output.

Question: Would this Bokeh icon in the HTML visualization be sufficient from licensing aspect (BSD 3-Clause) - if HTML file is the only item that’s being shared?

Thanks

@bokehstars2025 I’m not sure I understand your question. The source code for Bokeh is BSD licensed but you are not under any obligations to include a Bokeh logo or anything else in the outputs you generate using Bokeh.

Many thanks, Bryan!

This answers my question on output/ visualizations in HTML format.
We are using Bokeh library from PyPi in a prototype Jupyter Notebook application.

Just confirming: does this change what we need to include in the output?

Many thanks!

No, I don’t see why it should. Numpy and Pandas both use the same BDS 3-clause license as Bokeh. Do you have similar worries or concern incorporating those libraries? Because the situation is identical.
