Licensing Confusion

I'm struggling to understand the licensing model a bit. I'm working on a FOSS project that has more contributors than just myself -- does that mean we're ineligible for the community license? Would that put us under the non-profit organization bucket?

You can use the community license, since the project is FOSS. We want to make the license as clear as possible, can you clarify what you find confusing? I am unsure if you are referring to CheerpJ or CheerpX, but the licensing is identical so it should not matter

In particular, I got confused because the wording around the community license emphasizes “personal” and “single-developer” open-source projects, so I wasn’t 100% sure if the intention was to group non-personal FOSS projects under the non-profit org bucket. Thanks for the clarification.

I'll report this to the team to make sure the terms are clarified.

As a matter of fact the licensing has been already clarified here: https://cheerpj.com/licensing/

The licensing pages in the docs still need to be refreshed to adopt the same wording

Ah, yup I just ended up on the docs page instead of that one.

Did you find this page helpful?
