I read open-source

Christopher

 

I enjoyed the program, excellent quality

 

 

I read open-source

 

But I also read not for commercial use

 

What are the restrictions?

 

If I wanted to use it in my home business what would you

Consider a far payment.

 

 

Thanks,

 

Christopher Lyons

As far as i know digikam is released under GPL (General Public Licence).

You're free to use it, free to change it and free to share, but you can't claim the rights on this software and you can't sell it (that means not for commercial)

You can contribute by visiting the official site : http://digikam.org  and making a donation :)

Yes, you can sell it! But you still have to abide by the rules of the
GPL and have to give those who buy it the source code, and allow them to
distribute it.

As for using it in a commercial environment, that use case is certainly
permitted as well. Donations, however, are of course appreciated ;-)

Christopher, where did you read that?

 >> What are the restrictions?****

You may want to read the GPL license in detail or start with the
wikipedia article (digikam is licensed under version 2):

Best,

Michael
