License

JenerateIT is dual-licensed under the GNU Lesser General Public License (LGPL) and the Eclipse Public License (EPL).

Details

For a full understanding of your rights and obligations under these licenses, please see the full text of the LGPL and EPL.

One important aspect of both licenses (so called “weak copyleft” licenses) is, that, if you make any modification or addition to the JenerateIT code itself, you MUST put your modification under the same license, the LGPL or EPL.

Note that it is explicitly NOT NEEDED to put any application, that is just using JenerateIT as intended by the tool, under the LGPL or EPL. This is where the “weak” part comes into play – contrast this with the GPL, which would only allow using JenerateIT to develop a tool that is itself governed by the GPL.

Parts of JenerateIT may be licensed under licenses that are compatible with the LGPL and the EPL. For instance, BSD-like licenses or source code that has been put into the public domain by its author, can be used by JenerateIT. Files that include such source code under licenses different to LGPL/EPL mention those licenses explicitly.
