JGroups is open source licensed under the Library (or Lesser) GNU Public License 2.1 (LGPL).

 

   A commercial product can use JGroups (as a library) without having to become open source under the LGPL.

(This is the big difference to the GPL, where applications using it must be licensed under the GPL as well.) So, if

you for example use JGroups to write a product for clustering an application server, you can sell this product

without any restrictions (ship it with JGroups included) and you do not have to make your application open source.

    Preamble      

     

 The licenses for most software are designed to take away your      

freedom to share and change it.  By contrast, the GNU General Public      

Licenses are intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change      

free software--to make sure the software is free for all its users.      

     

 This license, the Lesser General Public License, applies to some      

specially designated software packages--typically libraries--of the      

Free Software Foundation and other authors who decide to use it.  You      

can use it too, but we suggest you first think carefully about whether      

this license or the ordinary General Public License is the better      

strategy to use in any particular case, based on the explanations below.      

     

 When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom of use,      

not price.  Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that
