After internal consideration in the ReOS Team we have decided to adopt the AGPLv3 license for all future releases of ReOS.
The GNU Affero GPL v3 is the GPLv3 with an additional clause specifying some additional rules
regarding software that interacts with users over a network.
The AGPLv3 is the updated version of the GPLv2 license under which ReOS is currently distributed. It has been updated to improve compatibility with other licenses and to make it easier to adopt internationally, and is an improved version of the license to better suit the needs of Free Software in the 21st Century.
To be clear, all versions of ReOS numbered 2.0.0 and later will be under the AGPLv3, all versions of ReOS numbered 1.10.x and before remain under the GPLv2.The ReOS Team would like to thank Richard Stallman, Eben Moglen and the Free Software Foundation for updating the GPL license, and also all the individuals and corporations involved in helping to create the AGPLv3. We feel this is an important change to help promote the interests of ReOS and other Free Software.
The ReOS Team.
