Licenses
WFAS uses two licenses: one for the apps and one for the protocol library.
Experimental project, not security-audited. WFAS is a personal project by an engineering student. Its security features have not had any formal audit, so please do not rely on them for sensitive data or on untrusted networks. Read the full disclaimer
The Apps: EUPL v1.2
The Desktop application and the Android application are licensed under the European Union Public License (EUPL v1.2). This is a strong copyleft license (similar to the GPL).
What it means in plain English: You are free to use, modify, and distribute the apps. However, if you distribute a modified version, you must release the source code of your modifications under the same open license. This is meant to keep modified versions of the apps open source.
The Protocol: MIT License
The core network engine, wfas-protocol, is licensed under the MIT License.
What it means in plain English: You can embed the protocol implementation in other projects, including closed-source or commercial ones. This is allowed on purpose, so that hardware makers or app developers can add WFAS compatibility to their own devices without open-sourcing their whole product. Like the apps, the library comes without warranty; please see the security disclaimer.
Third-Party Licenses
The apps use several third-party open-source libraries, including UI frameworks and audio processing toolkits.
A full, up-to-date list of third-party software licenses can be found in the respective repositories.
