Licensing and Copyrights
Similar to Plone, OpenEngagement's products are licensed under the open source license
GPL
(similar to Linux and many other successful open source software products).
This means that no one can prevent you from using the software now or in the
future - see GNU General Public License for specific terms.
Connectivity products (e.g. Go-Between) are available to integrate OpenEngagement with other
packages. These may be developed and maintained by third parties, and will be licensed by those parties.
The Working Papers-OpenEngagement Go-Between (generally referred to simply as the Go-Between) available on
this site is licensed under similar terms as CaseWare Working Papers.
Community supplied content will generally follow one of the licenses under the Creative Commons.
Similar to GPL, this will mean that you will always be able to use the content that you and your
community have created and collaborated on.
It may be in the interest of the community that content is used from authors who do not follow
one of the licenses under the Creative Commons. Where this occurs, it will be clearly laid out
so that our community can fully understand the current and future limitations (if any) on using
this content in their workplace.
