Licenses
WFAS uses a strategic dual-license model to protect the apps while empowering developers.
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 ensures that the WFAS apps will forever remain free and 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 take the protocol implementation and embed it into literally anything, even closed-source, commercial, or proprietary products. We explicitly allow this so that hardware manufacturers or app developers can add WFAS compatibility to their own devices without having to open-source their entire product.
Third-Party Licenses
WFAS stands on the shoulders of giants. The apps utilize several excellent open-source libraries, including UI frameworks and audio processing toolkits.
