Adaptive Public License
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Adaptive Public License (APL) is an Open Source license from the University of Victoria. It is a weak copyleft, adaptable template license that has been approved by the Open Source Initiative.
The Initial Contributor for a project sets up the license conditions for that project by choosing their specific options from the license template. Choices include:
- whether or not to grant patent rights
- governing jurisdiction
- limited attribution and branding clauses
- the scope of how widely the source can be distributed before being obliged to contribute code changes
- the extent to which changes need to be documented
