<h1>Licensing</h1>
|
||
|
|
<p>This page outlines the requirements of the Appweb open source license and the options for
|
||
|
|
a commercial license. Please note, this text only provides a guideline. You must consult the actual licenses
|
||
|
|
for details of the governing terms.
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>Appweb is provided under an open source license. This license is the GNU license governed by
|
||
|
|
the provisions of the <a href="gpl.html">GPL</a> license. This GPL license should meet your needs if you work for
|
||
|
|
a non-profit or educational institution. The GPL can also work well for evaluation within your company.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
For commercial applications, we recommend a Commercial License. If you require a commercial license or
|
||
|
|
commercial support for Appweb, please see <a href="#commercial">Commercial License</a> below or contact <a href=
|
||
|
|
"http://embedthis.com">Embedthis Software</a>.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>If you have any further questions, please read the licensing FAQ or contact us at<br />
|
||
|
|
<a href="mailto:licensing@embedthis.com">licensing@embedthis.com</a>.</p><a id="open"></a>
|
||
|
|
<h2 class="section">Open Source License</h2>
|
||
|
|
<p>The <a href="gpl.html">Appweb GPL license</a> is ideal for integrating with other GPL software, internal
|
||
|
|
use, evaluation, and some cases of stand-alone use.</p><a id="standAlone"></a>
|
||
|
|
<h3>Stand Alone Use</h3>
|
||
|
|
<p>If you are using Appweb in a stand-alone manner as free-standing binaries, and are not integrating the
|
||
|
|
Appweb source code or libraries with your software to create a derivative work, then the GPL license should
|
||
|
|
be sufficient.</p><a id="gpl"></a>
|
||
|
|
<h3>Use with Other GPL Software</h3>
|
||
|
|
<p>If you are integrating Appweb source or libraries into your application and your software is 100% GPL or
|
||
|
|
is licensed under an Open Source License that is <a href="http://www.opensource.org/licenses">OSI</a>
|
||
|
|
approved and acceptable to Embedthis Software, you may use the GPL with Embedthis products, and embed them
|
||
|
|
in your applications or devices. You do not need any other agreement or license — the GPL is all you
|
||
|
|
require.</p><a id="nonGpl"></a>
|
||
|
|
<h3>Embedding with Non-GPL Software</h3>
|
||
|
|
<p>If Appweb is embedded into your application, or your application is linked using static or dynamic
|
||
|
|
linking with libraries containing any Appweb source code and you do not wish to publish your source code
|
||
|
|
under under an Open Source License that is <a href="http://www.opensource.org/licenses">OSI</a> approved
|
||
|
|
and acceptable to Embedthis Software, and you wish to redistribute your application, then you will need a
|
||
|
|
<a href="#commercial">commercial license</a>.</p><a id="download"></a>
|
||
|
|
<h3>Appweb Download Package</h3>
|
||
|
|
<p>With the Appweb download, you will receive binaries, source code, samples and documentation and you need
|
||
|
|
not pay any license fees. However, you must abide by all the provisions of the GPL. If you intend to redistribute your
|
||
|
|
software and link Appweb with your application, the GPL requires you to provide documentation and all source code
|
||
|
|
on a nondiscriminatory basis.
|
||
|
|
If you do not wish to
|
||
|
|
provide source code to your application, you must purchase a <a href="#commercial">commercial license</a>
|
||
|
|
(see below for details).</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>Note that under the GPL license, you may develop, evaluate, and embed Appweb in your
|
||
|
|
application or product provided it is not redistributed, either internally or externally. You may copy and
|
||
|
|
modify the source code provided all copies fall under the GPL license.</p>
|
||
|
|
<h2><a id="commercial"></a>Commercial License</h2>
|
||
|
|
<p>You will need a commercial license if your application is linked with Appweb, statically or dynamically,
|
||
|
|
and it is not provided
|
||
|
|
to your customers under an approved
|
||
|
|
open source license. You will also need a commercial license if you wish to redistribute your application. A commercial license includes the added benefits
|
||
|
|
of support services and priority notifications.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
In summary, there are several good reasons to purchase a commercial license:</p>
|
||
|
|
<ul>
|
||
|
|
<li>You require the ability to redistribute your product including Appweb.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>You do not want to provide non-discriminatory access to the source code for your application.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>You need a warranty on Embedthis software (see license for details).</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>You do not want to run the risk of your organization's software falling under the governing terms
|
||
|
|
of the GPL.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>You need support services.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>You want priority notification of updates, upgrades, security issues and emergency patches.</li>
|
||
|
|
</ul>
|
||
|
|

|
||
|
