Više o Slobodnom Softveru i GPL licenci
When one hears about „free software”, the first thing that comes to mind might be „no cost”. While this is often true, the term „free software” as used by the Free Software Foundation (originators of the GNU Project and creators of the GNU General Public License) is intended to mean „free as in freedom” rather than in the sense of „no cost” (which is usually referred to as „free as in free beer” or gratis). Free software in this sense is software which you are free to use, copy, modify, redistribute, with no limit. Contrast this with the licensing of most commercial software packages, where you are allowed to load the software on a single computer, are allowed to make no copies, and never see the source code. Free software allows incredible freedom to the end user. Since the source code is universally available, there are also many more chances for bugs to be caught and fixed.
Kada je program licenciran pod uslovima GNU opšte javne licence (GPL):
Imate pravo da koristite program u bilo koju svrhu.
Imate pravo da modifikujete program i pristupite izvornom kôdu.
Imate pravo da umnožavate i distribuirate program.
Imate pravo da poboljšate program, i objavite svoju verziju.
In return for these rights, you have some responsibilities if you distribute a GPL’d program. These responsibilities are designed to protect your freedoms and the freedoms of others:
U obavezi ste da priložite licencu uz program, tako da drugo lice ima svest o svojim pravima navedenim u licenci.
U obavezi ste da priložite izvorni kôd, ili da omogućite javni pristup.
Ako vršite distribuciju uz modifikacije, u obavezi ste da takve modifikacije licencirate pod istom ili sličnom licencom.
Nemate prava da uvodite restrikcije u postojeću licencu (ne pretvarajte slobodan softver u intelektualnu svojinu).
