ZINT was originally developed by Robin Stuart and licensed under the terms of the GPL (Gnu
|
|
Public License). In 2013 Robin Stuart and all developers that contributed to the code agreed
|
|
to change the license to a less restrictive one (see ZINT mailing list of May 2013 for
|
|
related mails) under the following conditions:
|
|
- the names of original copyright holder Robin Stuart and contributors are not removed,
|
|
neither from sources nor from the manual
|
|
- the documentation is done in British English (as Robin said: "Oh, and please don't
|
|
replace the word "colour" with "color" in the documentation - that really annoys me!")
|
|
|
|
Change to BSD-license is done for backend and therefore for ZINT shared library only, for
|
|
the frontends and Qt4-backend the GPL is still valid. Since BSD-license is GPL-compatible
|
|
this gives the possibility to include ZINT library in own products or link against it from
|
|
own software.
