Software License and Registration



License Policy

Note that the software available for download is copyrighted by its authors. However, you may freely copy and distribute these programs. The software has been released under the GNU General Public License (GPL). The GPL is designed to provide maximum flexibility for the end user of the software, while preserving the copyright of its authors. In particular, the GPL dictates that software released under its license can be sold but MUST be provided with source code to users who wish to obtain it. The GPL applies automatically to any products that make use of GPL software, source code or otherwise. This means that, for example, if you use a portion of the source code for kForth in a product which you develop and release, the GPL also applies to that product. The copyright for that portion of the kForth source code used in the new product still belongs to the original author.
