[OpenLayers-Dev] Regarding licensing

[Lind, Kenneth]

Hi all.

I am not sure this is the correct list to post this questions but here we go.

I wonder about the licensing of the openlayers for using as part in a commercial portfolio, is there any limits to what we can do with the product regarding using it in customer projects (just to clearify, we don’t intend to sell it as a product, just use it with customer developed solutions)? We will of course take responsibility towards the customer regarding bugs and support as well as giving code back to the project in any way we can. We will also not try to hide the fact that we use openlayers and give credit to the developers of this great solution. Is there anything else that we should be aware of regarding licensing?

We don’t have any problem with the bsd license that I am aware of. I am just curious if there is any additions to this base license.

And as a second question. What are the rules for giving code back to the project? Anything specific we should consider here, since we are a commercial company?

Best Regards
/Kenneth
