Can I use Free and Open source software in an FP7 project?
The FP7 rules do not include any provision specific to Free and Open Source software, therefore it is up to the participants to decide if such software should be employed in their project work or the use of their results. Particularly, participants should check if the utilisation of such software is compatible with the objectives of the project and the interests of all the participants. Consortium agreements often provide for the obligation to inform the other participants before using such software in a project, as well as additional conditions for approval.
