<h1>BeanShell Software License</h1>
|
|
<br clear=left>
|
|
|
|
BeanShell is a free software project. Its continued development depends
|
|
on the interest and support of users and developers like you.
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
The source code is available for you to use and extend or integrate into your
|
|
software freely under either the terms of the Sun Public License or the
|
|
GNU Lesser Public License (see below).
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
The "cost" of this software is simply to let us know how you are using
|
|
BeanShell. You can do this by filling out the
|
|
<a href="licenseform.html">BeanShell User Info Form</a>.
|
|
Please feel free to wait until you have started using BeanShell to do this.
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
<h3>Dual Licensing: Sun Public License / Gnu Lesser Public License</h3>
|
|
|
|
BeanShell is now dual licensed under both the SPL and LGPL. You may
|
|
use and develop BeanShell under either license.
|
|
<p>
|
|
<em>More info coming soon...</em>
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
Please <a href="http://www.sun.com/developers/spl.html">
|
|
see the Sun Public License</a> for details.
|
|
|
|
<h3>About the LGPL</h3>
|
|
<em>Note: the LGPL has become the "Lesser Gnu Public License" and BeanShell
|
|
has adopted the new version...</em>
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
A quick note about the LGPL:
|
|
<p><
|
|
The LGPL is less restrictive than the ordinary GNU Public License in that
|
|
it does not force you to distribute your own applications under the terms
|
|
of the GPL. It primarily requires that you include a notice that
|
|
you are using the software in your documentation and provide access to
|
|
the original source code. It also essentially requires that if you modify
|
|
or extend BeanShell itself that you make those changes available
|
|
separately, under the terms of either the LGPL or the GPL. I would
|
|
ask that you accomodate this by simply sending me your bug fixes and
|
|
improvement to allow me to incorporate them into the general bsh release.
|
|
Please <a href="http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/lesser.html">
|
|
see the LGPL</a> for the details.
|
|
<p>
|
|
<em>If you have a more precise, brief explanation please let me know!
|
|
Thanks! - Pat</em>
