question about licensing and redistribution

[Erick Rodriguez <tb...@outlook.com>]

Hello.

 

I have a project that requires the use of Apache Flex and it is distributed
inside of the file projects.

 

Since I want to sell my software, what kind of licensing I should use? I
generate dynamically swf files from a precompiled as file that is generated
by my app.

 

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks

Hi,

Apache licensed software is permissive. This means you:
- can incorporate it into your software  (see section 2 of [1])
- distribute in source or binary form with your software (see section 4 of [1])
- don’t have to pay us anything (“royalty-free” - see section 2 of [1])
- can charge for your software
- can license your software package however you want

You just need to give proper attribution to us, include a copy of the Apache Flex license and notice and respect the ASF's trademarks. Note that the Apache license only applies to Apache Flex part and you can license your software however you want including a proprietary or non open source license.

This may also help [2]. I’m not a lawyer so you may want to seek real legal advice.

Thanks,
Justin
