Activiti Licensing, how does it work?

[sergiofigueras_]

Hi everyone,

Sorry about that question, I'm a newbie about software licensing. I'm using some Activiti classes in my project, cause I saw that should be the more efficient way to render some content, like Activiti Process Forms, and other things.

The question is very simple: and now? Where I need to give the Activiti credits? In the source, front end, and elsewhere? Where I need to put? Does I need to open my source code (that is what I don't want to do) ?

Tnx!

We use the Apache 2.0 licensing for Activiti. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apache_License for more details.

Best regards,

Hi trademak,

Thanks for your answer. I know that Activiti uses Apache 2.0 license, but I just don't know what I need to do in my project to say that I'm using some Activiti components. Can you help me? What I need to do?

Apache 2 is a  very liberal licence. As such, you should do nothing. Even not an accredition.

Also, your source doesn't needs to be open source. Apache is basically: you can do whatever you want, we don't care 🙂

Almost… You have to keep the copyright notice in tact.

Ah, that's indeed true.

Thanks Ronald!
