In general all AUTOSAR members and partners are welcome to get involved
with the Artop User Group and to use and adopt Artop. Since the
development of Artop is based on AUTOSAR document and since Artop
incorporates AUTOSAR specifications, AUTOSAR licenses and regulations
also apply to Artop. In case of AUTOSAR Core Partners, Premium Members
or Development Members no restrictions arise from this fact. In case of
AUTOSAR Associate and Attendee Members restrictions exist with regard
to unreleased AUTOSAR documents and specifications. Parts of Artop that
are based on such materials will not be made available to AUTOSAR
Associate and Attendee Members.
