>>blue<< >>center<< !![+++ %color=#ff7f00% Licenses page +++] >><< >> !! Licenses we use for the code We use two licenses: [[GNU GPL -> http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl.html]] (v. 2 or, at your option, any later version) and [[Affero GPL -> http://www.affero.org/oagpl.html]]. The idea is to use Affero whenever possible, but fall to GPL when with code that links/is derived from other code that uses the GPL 2. The GPL 2 is incompatible with Affero GPL (see the links above and below for discussion), but is likely to be upwards compatible with GPL v. 3. !! Why the Affero GPL We use the Affero GPL license because we specifically want to prevent anybody from grabbing the code, making changes/imporvements, and then running it on a web server without allowing us (or anybody else) to have access to that code. The Affero GPL is specifically designed to cover these cases, as explained in [[the Affero GPL FAQ -> http://www.affero.org/oagf.html]], the [[GNU GPL FAQ -> http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html#TOCUnreleasedMods]] and [[discussed by RMS recently -> http://fsfeurope.org/projects/gplv3/fisl-rms-transcript.en.html#q20-affero]]. A comparison/review of several licenses, including an explanation of why some licenses are incompatible with the GPL v. 2 and what that means is available [[from the GNU site -> http://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-list.html#GPLIncompatibleLicenses]] !! What will happend when the GPL 3 comes out? If the GPL v. 3 is compatible with the Affero GPL and/or explicitly covers/allows to cover the web server situation, we will then relicense all the code under the GPL v. 3. (Most of the code we cannot license under the Affero GPL is now licensed under "GPL version 2 or, at your option, any later version"). !!
