This General Public License does not permit incorporating your program into

proprietary programs.  If your program is a subroutine library, you may

consider it more useful to permit linking proprietary applications with the

library.  If this is what you want to do, use the GNU Library General

Public License instead of this License.

<h3><a name="license">BusyBox is licensed under the GNU General Public License, version 2</a></h3>

 

<p>BusyBox is licensed under <a href="http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl.html#SEC1">the

GNU General Public License</a> version 2, which is often abbreviated as GPLv2.

(This is the same license the Linux kernel is under, so you may be somewhat

familiar with it by now.)</p>

 

<p>A complete copy of the license text is included in the file LICENSE in

the BusyBox source code.</p>

 

<p><a href="products.html">Anyone thinking of shipping BusyBox as part of a

product</a> should be familiar with the licensing terms under which they are

allowed to use and distribute BusyBox.  Read the full test of the GPL (either

through the above link, or in the file LICENSE in the busybox tarball), and

also read the <a href="http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html">Frequently

Asked Questions about the GPL</a>.</p>

 

<p>Basically, if you distribute GPL software the license requires that you also

distribute the source code to that GPL-licensed software.  So if you distribute

BusyBox without making the source code to the version you distribute available,

you violate the license terms, and thus infringe on the copyrights of BusyBox.

(This requirement applies whether or not you modified BusyBox; either way the

license terms still apply to you.)  Read the license text for the details.</p>

 

<h3><a name="version">A note on GPL versions</a></h3>

 

<p>Version 2 of the GPL is the only version of the GPL which current versions

of BusyBox may be distributed under.  New code added to the tree is licensed

GPL version 2, and the project's license is GPL version 2.</p>

 

<p>Older versions of BusyBox (versions 1.2.2 and earlier, up through about svn

16112) included variants of the recommended

"GPL version 2 or (at your option) later versions" boilerplate

permission grant.  Ancient versions of BusyBox

(before svn 49) did not specify any version at all, and section 9 of GPLv2

(the most recent version at that time) says those old versions may be
