In all other instances, you are better served by our commercial licence. Read the details below! </p> <p> <h3>Licensing</h3> <p> MiniGUI software is licensed under the GPL license. The formal terms of the GPL license can be found in the GNU General Public License section of the MiniGUI User Manual, or the file named "COPYING", or the following link:
</p> <code>http://www.gnu.org/licenses/licenses.html</code> <p> MiniGUI is also available under commercial non-GPL license. For pricing and ordering information, visit our web page: </p> <code>http://www.minigui.com/product/index.shtml.</code><h4>1. Free use for those who are 100% GPL</h4> <p> If your application is licensed under GPL, you are free and welcome to ship any GPL software of FMSoft with your application. By "application" we mean any type of software application, system, tool or utility. For doing this, you do not need a separate signed agreement with FMSoft, because the GPL text is sufficient. But we do recommend you to be in touch with us as there usually are good opportunities for partnership and co-marketing. </p><h4>2. Free use for those who never copy, modify or distribute</h4> <p> As long as you never distribute (internally or externally) the MiniGUI in any way, you are free to use it for powering your application, irrespective of whether your application is under GPL license or not. </p> <p>More specifically: </p> <ul> <li>Modifying - You are allowed to modify MiniGUI source code any way you like. If you distribute the modified version, all changes, all interface code and all code that connects directly or indirectly to the interface code fall under GPL. <li>Copying - You are allowed to copy MiniGUI binaries and source code, but when you do so, the copies will fall under the GPL. </li> </ul><h4>3. Commercial use for everyone else</h4> <p> If your application is not licensed under GPL and you intend to distribute MiniGUI software (be that internally or externally), you must first obtain a commercial license to the MiniGUI software in question. </p> <p> More specifically: </p> <ul> <li>If you link MiniGUI in your non-GPL application, you need a commercial licence for the MiniGUI library. <li>If you use MiniGUI library within your organisation and you don't want to risk it falling under the GPL license, you are welcome to purchase a commercial license.
<li>Many users opt for the commercial licence simply because under it FMSoft takes responsibility for its products. Under the GPL licence, there are no warranties or representations from the developer (i.e. from FMSoft). </ul><h4>4. Exceptions and free commercial licences</h4> <p> If you represent a non-profit organisation or an academic institution, we recommend you to put your own application under GPL. Thereby you are free to use MiniGUI software free of charge under the GPL licence. (We also believe that if you have strong reasons not to go GPL, you also have the monetary means to purchase commercial licences.)
</p> <p> If you are a private individual you are free to use MiniGUI software for your personal applications, as long as you do not distribute them. </p> <p> Please note that even if you ship a free demo version of your own application, the above rules apply.
</p><h3>Old Version</h3> <p> Note that older versions of the MiniGUI are using the lesser GPL license (LGPL). Because the most of embedded products are proprietary systems, and the end users can not gain the right to modify and test MiniGUI on the products. Therefore, you should pay for commercial license for MiniGUI when you use it in embedded products.
