Licence ?

Closed this issue · 6 comments

I would like to use texlive.js in a commercial web-app.

Am i allowed to use it ?

Hmm, let me think about that...
pdflatex is published under GPL but this project also contains files (not directly connected to pdflatex).
So at least for these files I can choose my own license.

It will take some time till I figured out which license to choose (Sorry, licenses are not trivial)

Seems its GPL, so it can be used in commericial projects under the GPL :)

Sure, as long as you publish you changes to textlive.js it's fine!

in this case LGPL should be fine? because in case of GPL you have to open all you sources, not only changes in textlive.js

No, the LGPL can't be used because it inherits the GPL from pdflatex

Would you consider updating the license to "GPL-2 or any later version" so that it's compatible with GPL-3?
