Q Public License - Adoption

Adoption

Other projects that have adopted the Q Public License, sometimes with a change in the choice of jurisdiction clause, include:

  • The OCaml compiler and related tools from Projet Cristal at INRIA
  • LibreSource is a versatile collaborative platform provided by artenum and dedicated to collaborative software development
  • Jpgraph is a graph generation tool written in PHP that dynamically produces charts and graphs as image files for presentation on websites.
  • Hercules, a software implementation of the System/370, ESA/390, and z/Architecture mainframe computer architectures.
  • CGAL for versions 3.x. The CGAL library is released under GNU General Public License since CGAL version 4.0 (March 2012).
  • Tgif (program) switched from a free-of-charge non-commercial license to the Q Public License.

The Debian project rejects software covered by solely QPL (and not dual licensed with something else like the GPL) because of:

  • A choice of venue clause
  • Forced distribution to a third party
  • Forced blanket license to the original developer

Famous quotes containing the word adoption:

    “Frankly, I adore your catchy slogan, “Adoption, not Abortion,” although no one has been able to figure out, even with expert counseling, how to use adoption as a method of birth control, or at what time of the month it is most effective.”
    —Barbara Ehrenreich (b. 1941)
