What are the licensing terms for UWIN?
Starting with release 4.0, most of UWIN base package is available under the CPL 1.0 license which is an Open Source License approved by the Open Source consortium. The vt100 emulator uses an MIT license, and a few utilities use BSD or GPL licenses. All of these are Open Source license. Earlier versions of UWIN had separate educational and commercial licenses. • Can closed source applications use UWIN? The CPL license does not require you to make your source code available in order to use CPL software. The GPL license requires you to make source code available for any binaries that use GPL code. As long as you do not use any GPL code, you can use UWIN without making your source code available. • Why is UWIN split into packages? The primary reason for splitting into packages was to reduce the size for users that do not require everyting. For example, users that don’t do software development do not need the development package. Not everyone requires the X11, groff, or perl software either
