For open-source use
If you are creating an open source application under a license compatible with the GNU GPL license v3, you may use BrowserBox Pro under the terms of the GPLv3.
For non-commercial use
You can use BrowserBox Pro for free for non-commercial use cases.
This means government and public institutions, non-profits, private researchers and individuals are covered by this protection when their use is done without any anticipation of commercial application. This is provided under the terms of the Polyform Non-Commercial License 1.0.
Well, this isn't exactly dual license, but the presence of GPLv3 comprehensively nullifies Polyform, so it is FOSS. IANAL.
- CuriousCosmic 3y agoIt's better interpreted as decreasing degrees of permissivity. 1. GPLv3 or later 2. polyform non-commercial for non-commercial non-GPLv3 (or later) works. 3. commercial license for commercial non-GPLv3 (or later) works. --- In other words, Use GPLv3 however if you can't use GPLv3 but are non-commercial, use polyform non-commercial. Otherwise buy a commercial license.
- keepamovin 3y agoYes!
- ignoramous 3y agoYou may want to reword as "licensed under either GPLv3 or Polyform Non-commercial 1.0 at your option" or some such, like most rust-lang projects do; ex: https://github.com/rust-lang/rustup https://github.com/rust-lang/rustup Then give guidance on why one might choose one license over the other.
- keepamovin 3y agoThank you! :) BTW - I like your RethinkDNS app -- very polished and popular! :)
- ignoramous 3y agoThanks, you're kind (: Ditto for BrowserBox. Amazing piece of work! Much much harder to build than what I am. Btw, let me know if you've got any suggestions or feature requests, all ears: mz at celzero dot com
