wftk: Licensing terms


The wftk is made available to you on the terms of the GPL, the GNU Public License. Essentially, this means: OK, most people in the know already have that basic clue. But for the vast Windows world who thinks this sort of thing is really vague, it's not. The wftk is mine. You can use it free of charge, but it's still mine. You can modify it for your own needs, but that doesn't make it yours. You can sell or give it to other people, but they have to know it's mine.

For the legalese, see the copy of the GPL which I've included here. The library form of the wftk will be made available on the Library GPL (L-GPL) just as soon as I have time. This allows you to statically link the wftk with your own proprietary code, without requiring your code to be source-accessible -- but the wftk itself still must be.

If you chafe at these requirements, you're free to work out some other agreement with me. I'm reasonable and I don't expect to get rich off one contract, so talk to me -- but don't assume that just because the wftk is available for free download that you can cut me out. If I find an example of someone using the wftk for profit without crediting me and my work, you can be sure I will talk to my good friends at Dewey, Cheatham, and Howe, and we will be auctioning off your assets quicker than you can say, "Gulp."
