Cosa è ?
CPOL is intended to provide developers who choose to share their code with a license that protects them and provides users of their code with a clear statement regarding how the code can be used.
E' quindi una licenza per condividere sorgenti software. Quali i punti chiave ?
The main points subject to the terms of the License are:
- Source Code and Executable Files can be used in commercial applications;
- Source Code and Executable Files can be redistributed; and
- Source Code can be modified to create derivative works.
- No claim of suitability, guarantee, or any warranty whatsoever is provided. The software is provided "as-is".
- The Article(s) accompanying the Work may not be distributed or republished without the Author's consent
Quindi l'ultimo aspetto è fondamentale.
Si permette il riuso, ma sulla ridistribuzione l'autore vuole poterlo autorizzare volta per volta.
