<h1 id="sec:license"><a id="sec:E"><span class="sec-nr">E</span> <span class="sec-title">SWI-Prolog
License Conditions and Tools</span></a></h1>
<a id="sec:license"></a>
<p>SWI-Prolog licensing aims at a large audience, combining ideas from
the
<a class="url" href="http://www.fsf.org">Free Software Foundation</a>
and the less principal <a class="url" href="http://www.opensource.org">Open
Source Initiative</a>. The license aims at the following:
<p>
<ul class="latex">
<li>Make SWI-Prolog and its libraries `as free as possible'.
<p>
<li>Allow for easy integration of contributions. See <a class="sec" href="contrib.html">section
E.2</a>.
<p>
<li>Free software can build on SWI-Prolog without limitations.
<p>
<li>Non-free (open or proprietary) software can be produced using
SWI-Prolog, although contributed pure
<a class="url" href="http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/gpl.html">GPL-ed</a>
components cannot be used.
</ul>
<p>To achieve this, different parts of the system have different
licenses. SWI-Prolog programs consist of a mixture of `native' code
(source compiled to machine instructions) and `virtual machine' code
(Prolog source compiled to SWI-Prolog virtual machine instructions,
covering both compiled SWI-Prolog libraries and your compiled
application).
<p>For maximal coherence between free licenses, we start with the two
prime licenses from the Free Software Foundation, the
<a class="url" href="http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/gpl.html">GNU General
Public License</a> (GPL) and the
<a class="url" href="http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/lesser.html">Lesser GNU
General Public License</a> (LGPL), after which we add a proven (used by
the GNU C compiler runtime library as well as the GNU <em>ClassPath</em>
project) exception to deal with the specific nature of compiled virtual
machine code in a saved state.
