Commercial Use and non-GPL Licensing
Most of the source code and provided executable files
are copyrighted works, licensed under
the GNU licence, and therefore
they (or works derived from them) can't be copied or sold without
providing the
source
code. For all the gory details, please read the
accompanying
licence.
Code that is copyrighted by me (Graeme Gill), which composes the vast
majority of the Argyll CMS, may be available for licensing on terms
other
than the GPL, so that it may be incorporated in closed source products.
For more details on the availability, terms and conditions of such
non-GPL licensing, please
Note that at the current time (Mid 2007), only a limited portion of the
code is available for licensing in this way (self contained libraries
such as the Integer MultiDimensional Interpolation code imdi, for instance), simply because
I'm not in a position to provide the level of support that all of the
current code base would demand were it licensed in this way. I'm hoping
that by the end of 2007/early 2008, I can make more
commercial-use-friendly versions of the software available for non-GPL
licensing.
Graeme Gill.
