Licencing

Post by xertz »

Hi,

I understand Vistumbler is GPL. Does this mean that I can redistribute Vistumbler?

Thanks

Any part of Vistumbler that that I have written is licensed with GPL v2, which allows distribution as long as you are following the terms of the license (see http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-2.0.html)

Quote from GPL v2
1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's source code
as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and
appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice and
disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the notices that refer to this
License and to the absence of any warranty; and give any other recipients of
the Program a copy of this License along with the Program.

You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and you
may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee.
There are pieces of code not written by me that fall under other licenses, or do not specify a license. Most of these UDFs were given as Example Code by the authors in the autoitscript.com forums. I consider these open, but they likely fall into a grey area. They are located in the UDFs folder of vistumbler.

For Example, the following UDFs specify a license
NativeWifi.au3 - Artistic License 2.0
AutoItObject.au3 - Artistic License 2.0
