+Because our resources are limited, we do not answer questions that are

+<p>This is a free software license. Section 3.3 provides indirect
+compatibility between this license and the GNU GPL version 2.0, the
+GNU LGPL version 2.1, the GNU AGPL version 3, and all later versions
+of those licenses. When you receive work under MPL 2.0,
+you may make a “Larger Work” that combines that work with
+work under those GNU licenses. When you do, section 3.3 gives
+you permission to distribute the MPL-covered work under the terms of
+the same GNU licenses, with one condition: you must make sure that the
+files that were originally under the MPL are still available under the
+MPL's terms as well. In other words, when you make a combination this
+way, the files that were originally under the MPL will be dual
+licensed under the MPL and the GNU license(s). The end result is that
+the Larger Work, as a whole, will be covered under the GNU license(s).
+People who receive that combination from you will have the option to
+use any files that were originally covered by the MPL under that
+license's terms, or distribute the Larger Work in whole or in part
+under the GNU licenses' terms with no further restrictions.</p>
+
+<p>It's important to understand that the condition to distribute files
+under the MPL's terms only applies to the party that first creates and
+distributes the Larger Work. If it applied to their recipients as well, it
+would be a further restriction and incompatible with the GPL and AGPL.
+That said, when you make contributions to an existing project, we usually
+<a href="/licenses/license-recommendations.html#contributing">recommend
that you keep your changes under the same license</a>,
+even when you're not required to do so. If you receive a work under a GNU
+license where some files are also under the MPL, you should only remove the
+MPL from those files when there's a strong reason to justify it.</p>
+
+<p>Check the license notices on the MPL-covered software before you make
+a Larger Work this way. Parties who release original work under
+MPL 2.0 may choose to opt out of this compatibility by
+including a sentence in the license notices that says that the work is
+“Incompatible With Secondary Licenses.” Any software that
+includes this notice is <strong>not</strong> compatible with the
GPL
+or AGPL.</p>
+
+<p>Software under previous versions of the MPL can be upgraded to version
+2.0, but any software that isn't already available under one of the
+listed GNU licenses <strong>must</strong> be marked as
Incompatible With Secondary
+Licenses. This means that software that's only available under
+previous versions of the MPL is still incompatible with the GPL and
AGPL.</p>

+<p>This is a free software license. By itself, it has a copyleft

+Thus, developers can't rely on this license to provide a strong
+copyleft.</p>
+
+<p>The EUPL allows relicensing to GPLv2, because that is listed as one
+of the alternative licenses that users may convert to. It also,
+indirectly, allows relicensing to GPL version 3, because there is a
+way to relicense to the CeCILL v2, and the CeCILL v2 gives a way to
+relicense to any version of the GNU GPL.</p>
+
+<p>To do this two-step relicensing, you need to first write a piece of
+code which you can license under the CeCILL v2, or find a
+suitable module already available that way, and add it to the
+program. Adding that code to the EUPL-covered program provides
+grounds to relicense it to the CeCILL v2. Then you need to write a
+piece of code which you can license under the GPLv3+, or find a
+suitable module already available that way, and add it to the program.

+<p>This license is an incomplete statement of the distribution terms
+for LaTeX. As far as it goes, it is a free software license, but
+incompatible with the <a
+href="/licenses/gpl.html">GPL</a> because it has
+many requirements that are not in the GPL.</p>
+
+<p>This license contains complex and annoying restrictions on how to
+publish a modified version, including one requirement that falls just
+barely on the good side of the line of what is acceptable: that any
+modified file must have a new name.</p>
+
+<p>The reason this requirement is acceptable for LaTeX is that TeX has
+a facility to allow you to map file names, to specify “use file
+bar when file foo is requested”. With this facility, the
+requirement is merely annoying; without the facility, the same
+requirement would be a serious obstacle, and we would have to conclude
+it makes the program nonfree.</p>
+
+<p>This condition may cause trouble with some major modifications.
+For example, if you wanted to port an LPPL-covered work to another
+system that lacked a similar remapping facility, but still required
+users to request this file by name, you would need to implement a
+remapping facility too to keep this software free. That would be a
+nuisance, but the fact that a license would make code nonfree if
+transplanted into a very different context does not make it nonfree in
+the original context.</p>
+
+<p>The LPPL says that some files, in certain versions of LaTeX, may have
+additional restrictions, which could render them nonfree. For this
+reason, it may take some careful checking to produce a version of
+LaTeX that is free software.</p>
+
+<p>The LPPL makes the controversial claim that simply having files on a
+machine where a few other people could log in and access them in
+itself constitutes distribution. We believe courts would not uphold
+this claim, but it is not good for people to start making the claim.</p>
+
+<p>Please do not use this license for any other project.</p>
+
+<p>Note: These comments are for version 1.2 (3 Sep 1999) of the
LPPL.</p></dd>

+<p>The Open Software License is a free software license. It is

+
+<p><a id="OSLRant"></a>Recent versions of the Open Software
License have
+a term which requires distributors to try to obtain explicit assent to

+software in an ordinary version control system, is arguably a violation
+of the license and would subject you to possible termination of the
+license. Thus, the Open Software License makes it very difficult to

+
+<p>Some developers think that code with no license is

That
+is not true under today's copyright law; rather, all copyrightable
+works are copyrighted by default. This includes programs. Absent a
+license to grant users freedom, they don't have any. In some
+countries, users that download code with no license may infringe
+copyright merely by compiling it or running it.</p>
+
+<p>In order for a program to be free, its copyright holders must
+explicitly grant users the <a href="/philosophy/free-sw.html"> four
+essential freedoms</a>. The document with which they do so is called
+a <em>free software license</em>. This is what free software
+licenses are for.</p>
+
+<p>Some countries allow authors to put code in the public domain, but
+that requires explicit action. If you wish to do that, the method we
+recommend is to use <a href="#CC0">CC0</a>, which also works in
other
+countries by putting on a license that is more or less equivalent to

+
+<p>Code written by employees of the US government is a special

+any later version.” However, Section 14 of the GNU GPL version 3
+allows licensors to specify a proxy to determine whether future
+versions of the GNU GPL can be used. Therefore, if someone adapts a CC
+BY-SA 4.0 work and incorporates it into a GNU GPL version 3 licensed
+project, <a

+<p>This license covers the European Computer Modern Fonts and Text

+to use a name that's different from the name of any prior version.
