Software Licensing

• "Is it OK to take program code under the ______ license, add our own functionality, and then ______?"

  This is a bird's-eye view of the different software licenses.

• Why the Affero GPL

  This is relevant to client-server architectures.

• Frequently Asked Questions about the GNU Licenses

  Relevant clauses:

  • If I only make copies of a GPL-covered program and run them, without distributing or conveying them to others, what does the license require of me?
  • Can I use GPL-covered editors such as GNU Emacs to develop non-free programs? Can I use GPL-covered tools such as GCC to compile them?
  • Is there some way that I can GPL the output people get from use of my program? For example, if my program is used to develop hardware designs, can I require that these designs must be free?
  • In what cases is the output of a GPL program covered by the GPL too?
  • If a library is released under the GPL (not the LGPL), does that mean that any software which uses it has to be under the GPL or a GPL-compatible license?
  • I would like to bundle GPLed software with some sort of installation software. Does that installer need to have a GPL-compatible license?
