OpenH323 Library ================ The OpenH323 project aims to create a full featured, interoperable, Open Source implementation of the ITU H.323 teleconferencing protocol that can be used by personal developers and commercial users without charge. OpenH323 development is coordinated by an Australian company, Equivalence Pty Ltd (http://www.equival.com), but is open to any interested party. Commercial and private use of the OpenH323 code, including use in commercial products and resale, is enouraged through use of the MPL (Mozilla Public license). For more details see http://www.openh323.org You can subscribe to the mailing list at http://www.openh323.org/mailman/listinfo Frequently asked questions are answered at http://www.openh323.org/faq.html Licensing ========= The bulk of this library is licensed under the MPL (Mozilla Public License) version 1.0. In simple terms this license allows you to use the library for any purpose, commercial or otherwise, provided the library is kept in tact as a separate entity and any changes made to the library are made publicly available under the same (MPL) license. It is important to realise that that refers to changes to the library and not your application that is merely linked to the library. Note that due to a restriction in the GPL, any application you write that uses anything another than GPL, eg our library with MPL, is technically in breach of the GPL license. However, it should be noted that MPL does not care about the license of the final application, and as only the author of the GPL application is in breach of his own license and is unlikely to sue themselves for that breach, in practice there is no problem with a GPL application using an MPL or any other commercial library.
