Even libcurl itself contains code that may cause -problems to some. This document attempts to describe what licenses libcurl and -the other libraries use and what possible dilemmas linking and mixing them all -can lead to for end users. - -I am not a lawyer and this is not legal advice! - -One common dilemma is that GPL[1]-licensed code is not allowed to be linked -with code licensed under the Original BSD license (with the announcement -clause). You may still build your own copies that use them all, but -distributing them as binaries would be to violate the GPL license - unless you -accompany your license with an exception[2]. This particular problem was -addressed when the Modified BSD license was created, which does not have the -announcement clause that collides with GPL. - -libcurl http://curl.haxx.se/docs/copyright.html - - Uses an MIT (or Modified BSD)-style license that is as liberal as - possible. Some of the source files that deal with KRB4 have Original - BSD-style announce-clause licenses. You may not distribute binaries - with krb4-enabled libcurl that also link with GPL-licensed code! - -OpenSSL http://www.openssl.org/source/license.html - - (May be used for SSL/TLS support) Uses an Original BSD-style license - with an announcement clause that makes it "incompatible" with GPL. You - are not allowed to ship binaries that link with OpenSSL that includes - GPL code (unless that specific GPL code includes an exception for - OpenSSL - a habit that is growing more and more common). If OpenSSL's - licensing is a problem for you, consider using GnuTLS or yassl - instead. - -GnuTLS http://www.gnutls.org/ - - (May be used for SSL/TLS support) Uses the LGPL[3] license. If this is - a problem for you, consider using OpenSSL instead. Also note that - GnuTLS itself depends on and uses other libs (libgcrypt and - libgpg-error) and they too are LGPL- or GPL-licensed. - -yassl http://www.yassl.com/ - - (May be used for SSL/TLS support) Uses the GPL[1] license. If this is - a problem for you, consider using OpenSSL or GnuTLS instead. - -NSS http://www.mozilla.org/projects/security/pki/nss/ - - (May be used for SSL/TLS support) Is covered by the MPL[4] license, - the GPL[1] license and the LGPL[3] license. You may choose to license - the code under MPL terms, GPL terms, or LGPL terms. These licenses - grant you different permissions and impose different obligations. You - should select the license that best meets your needs. - -axTLS http://axtls.sourceforge.net/ - - (May be used for SSL/TLS support) Uses a Modified BSD-style license. - -c-ares http://daniel.haxx.se/projects/c-ares/license.html - - (Used for asynchronous name resolves) Uses an MIT license that is very - liberal and imposes no restrictions on any other library or part you - may link with. - -zlib http://www.gzip.org/zlib/zlib_license.html - - (Used for compressed Transfer-Encoding support) Uses an MIT-style - license that shouldn't collide with any other library. - -krb4 - - While nothing in particular says that a Kerberos4 library must use any - particular license, the one I've tried and used successfully so far - (kth-krb4) is partly Original BSD-licensed with the announcement - clause. Some of the code in libcurl that is written to deal with - Kerberos4 is Modified BSD-licensed. - -MIT Kerberos http://web.mit.edu/kerberos/www/dist/ - - (May be used for GSS support) MIT licensed, that shouldn't collide - with any other parts. - -Heimdal http://www.pdc.kth.se/heimdal/ - - (May be used for GSS support) Heimdal is Original BSD licensed with - the announcement clause. - -GNU GSS http://www.gnu.org/software/gss/ - - (May be used for GSS support) GNU GSS is GPL licensed. Note that you - may not distribute binary curl packages that uses this if you build - curl to also link and use any Original BSD licensed libraries! - -fbopenssl - - (Used for SPNEGO support) Unclear license. Based on its name, I assume - that it uses the OpenSSL license and thus shares the same issues as - described for OpenSSL above. - -libidn http://josefsson.org/libidn/ - - (Used for IDNA support) Uses the GNU Lesser General Public - License [3]. LGPL is a variation of GPL with slightly less aggressive - "copyleft". This license requires more requirements to be met when - distributing binaries, see the license for details. Also note that if - you distribute a binary that includes this library, you must also - include the full LGPL license text. Please properly point out what - parts of the distributed package that the license addresses. - -OpenLDAP http://www.openldap.org/software/release/license.html - - (Used for LDAP support) Uses a Modified BSD-style license. Since - libcurl uses OpenLDAP as a shared library only, I have not heard of - anyone that ships OpenLDAP linked with libcurl in an app. - -libssh2 http://www.libssh2.org/ - - (Used for scp and sftp support) libssh2 uses a Modified BSD-style - license. - -[1] = GPL - GNU General Public License: http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl.html -[2] = http://www.fsf.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html#GPLIncompatibleLibs details on - how to write such an exception to the GPL -[3] = LGPL - GNU Lesser General Public License: - http://www.gnu.org/licenses/lgpl.html -[4] = MPL - Mozilla Public License: - http://www.mozilla.org/MPL/ |
