What are the restrictions and licensing agreements necessary to use Devore Software & Consulting source code?
None. Zero. Zip. Nada. The source is released into public domain. It would be nice to give Michael Devore or Devore Software & Consulting credit if you reuse the code, but you need not feel guilty or morally deficient if you don’t. Our legal representation also wants us to say, and so we do, that all use of the Devore Software & Consulting software and source code is at your own risk. Under no conditions will we be held liable for any damages arising out of use of, or inability to use, the software. And no, despite the curious beliefs of some (not all) Open Software advocates, releasing to public domain does not automatically make us more legally liable to users for any perceived problems nor does it somehow demonstrate us to be less moral, intelligent, or sophisticated than Open Source proponents. Public domain software is more free and less restrictive than Open Source software in all respects.
