Dual Licensing
The StateWizard is licensed under the dual-licensing model. This means that the software can be downloaded and used under the terms of the GNU Less General Public License (LGPL). Please note that LGPL requires that all modifications to the original code as well as all Derivative Works must also be released under the terms of the LGPL.
Alternatively, the StateWizard software may be distributed and modified under the terms of StateWizard commercial licenses, which expressly supersede the LGPL and are specifically designed for licensees interested in retaining the proprietary status of their code. The customers who license StateWizard software under the commercial licenses do not use the software under the LGPL and therefore are not subject to any of its terms.
Dual licensing is a win-win business model for all involved: the open source community, the commercial users, and StateWizard:
- Open source community gets superior StateWizard' software under the terms of the GNU Less General Public License (LGPL)
- StateWizard commercial customers have the option of using reliable, community-scrutinized, battle-tested software for a cost much lower than the industry average
- StateWizard gets revenue which we fuel into strengthening and improvement of our software offerings.
