Summary

English: compatibility of common open-source software licenses. Software may be combined under a license that can be reached by tracking the arrows forward from the licenses of all its components. The result must then carry the license in the target box, possibly with additions from the source licenses. Permissive licenses allow the software to become non-free, protective (copyleft) licenses prevent the component from becoming non-free, weakly protective (weak copyleft) licenses additionally allow it (often a software library) to be part of a larger non-free work.
Español: compatibilidad de licencias de código abierto. El «software» puede combinarse bajo una licencia a la que se llega siguiendo las flechas desde las licencias de todos sus componentes. El resultado debe utilizar la licencia en la caja a la que se ha llegado, o posiblemente seguir avanzando más flechas hasta llegar a otra licencia. Las licencias permisivas permiten que el «software» se vuelva propietario, las licencias «copyleft» impiden que el componente se vuelva propietario, y las licencias «copyleft» débiles permiten además que el componente (sea un fichero o una librería) forme parte de una obra propietaria más grande. |
