open source
licenses, generally called "permissive" licenses, are much more friendly for
corporate use. These licenses include the MIT and BSD licenses, as well as the
<a href="http://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0";>Apache Software License
2.0</a> that we use for Apache OpenOffice.</p>
<p>Like other open source licenses, the Apache License explicitly allows you
to copy and redistribute the covered product, without any license fees or
royalties. But because it is a
permissive license, it also allows you to prepare and distribute derivative
products, without requiring you to make your own source code public. So both
BSA and SFLC/FSF risks
are eliminated, and the cost, to your business, of license compliance is
greatly reduced.</p>
