The current version 2 alpha release of the Pentaho BI Platform, as well as future versions, will be distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License Version 2 (GPLv2). Under the GPL, if you intend to distribute GPL-licensed code to your customers as part of other software you have created, you may, depending on the software you have created, be required to GPL that code. Companies that wish to distribute the Pentaho BI Platform have the option of purchasing a commercial license from Pentaho Corporation. A commercial license would exempt you from GPL obligations.
