Openflow license details throws 404

[jeremiah]

Looking for more details for the "openflow" license I followed the URI in the docs http://www.openflowswitch.org/wp/legal/ This gives me a 404 error.

The web site http://www.openflowswitch.org clearly seems to have changed ownership since that link last pointed at the intended document.

This page has some versions of the OpenFlow specification, but I'm not sure if there is a new home web site for whatever openflowswitch.org used to host: https://opennetworking.org/sdn-resources/openflow-switch-specification/

This historical link recorded in the Wayback Machine appears to be a copy of what was there:

• https://web.archive.org/web/20110407025704/http://www.openflow.org/wp/legal/

Below is a copy and paste from that page's text. It appears to have some similarity to the contents of the LICENSE.OFTest file in this repository, but not identical:

OpenFlow Legal Information
The OpenFlow Switch Consortium publishes a specification of the OpenFlow Switch and the OpenFlow Protocol – it essentially provides a means for a flow table inside a switch to be controlled remotely. While the specification doesn’t describe the controller, it is expected to be an open development environment, such as a PC running Linux. The OpenFlow Switch specification is available under a BSD-like license, and will be free for implementation by anyone. Switch vendors who implement the base requirements of the OpenFlow Switch Specification Version 1.0 will be free to describe their switch as “Conforming to the OpenFlow Switch Specification (Version 1.0)”, so long as the switch supports the OpenFlow Protocol. Switch vendors will be free to implement additional features over and above those specified by the Consortium, and may wish to limit use of OpenFlow to “educational and government use only”. OpenFlow is a trademark of Stanford University, and with the written permission of Stanford, may be used to describe switches that conform to the OpenFlow Protocol.
