The Floodgap Free Software License (FFSL) is the standardized |
|
end-user license agreement for both binary and source |
|
distributions of many free software packages here at Floodgap. It |
|
may also be used for other packages that Floodgap does not |
|
maintain. |
|
|
|
The overriding concern behind the FFSL is to ensure that software |
|
declared gratis ("free as in beer") remains gratis: not that |
|
profit can't or shouldn't be made from the use of FFSL-covered |
|
packages, but that they should not be sold for a fee, nor should |
|
a fee be charged to use or modify them. As this is a different |
|
focus than many other free software licenses, you are urged to |
|
study the license terms carefully for software packages you |
|
intend to use that are offered under the FFSL. |
|
|
|
The current FFSL release is given below. You may always access it |
|
from this page, or |
 |
via HTTP. |
|
|
|
This document is currently only available in English. If you have |
|
questions regarding the FFSL, please send mail to |
|
|
|
[email protected] |
|
|
|
Questions regarding a particular software package should be |
|
addressed to that package's maintainer. |
